It's so super hot where I live, in the deserts of Nevada, and it's only going to be getting even hotter over the next few months here. However, Autumn is just around the corner with cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and all the fun that goes along with the joys of Fall. The cards I'm sharing today are all about the changing seasons, and Stamp Simply always has the perfect stamps, dies, sentiments and images to help me create just what I want. Stamp Simply has so many amazing stamps, dies and more.
The first card uses black cardstock and a patterned paper from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures 6x6 Paper Pad. I also used cream cardstock rubbed with Tea Dye and Walnut Oxide Inks for the background where I stamped the images and the sentiment, which are all found in the Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set. I also cut a pretty border using a die-cut similar to the Sizzix Crochet Border Dies from patterned paper found in the Craft Consortium 6x6 Tartan Plaid Paper Pad.
My base of my second card uses a piece of black brick patterned paper from the Craft Consortium Brick Textures 6x6 Paper Pad layered with a piece from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures 6x6 Paper Pad. On both cards, I wrapped a nice long length of Natural Burlap String around the card to add some texture and warmth to my cards. On each of these two cards, the sentiments are stamped in Versafine Black Onyx Ink. The silhouettes on each card are stamped in VersaFine Golden Meadow Ink (first) and then a light layer of VersaFine Acorn Ink.
You're always sure to find AWESOME and beautiful stamps at Stamp Simply among so many other great crafting products.

Love your card Karen! We are in the dog days of summer in my area. I am starting to look forward to cooler days. I am curious when your area experiences fall. I was there in August one year and it was hot!
