Autumn Silhouettes w/Stamp Simply Clear Stamps

It's time for me to share an Autumn card with you that features just a few (of the many) awesome stamps, dies and products from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  I always know that I can find the perfect sentiments, scriptures, images and die-cuts to create the perfect card for every occasion.  And that most definitely includes Autumn.  For today's card, I used the lovely Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set.

First, I cut my cardstock base for the card and created three panels to complete my background.  Before I attached the panels, I stamped each one in an ink that was just a shade darker than the (kraft, wheat and pale blue) cardstock onto which they were being stamped.  I used the Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set to stamp those gorgeous images.

Once I had each of my three panels ready to go, I attached them to the cardstock base that I'd created earlier.  I tried my best to evenly space apart each panel to fill in the empty space.  I'm not a perfectionist, however, so I didn't actually measure them.  I used the Autumn Blessings Stamp Set to stamp my lovely sentiment.  I cut the sentiment strip by using the Fishtail Banner Dies.  This FAB set has the perfect sized banner for every sentiment.  I also wrapped some Brown Baker's Twine around my card and tied a pretty little bow with it.

Changing Seasons w/Stamp Simply

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.

This lovely card duo was created using just one stamp set from Stamp Simply.  This set is called Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set and it's absolutely beautiful.  I just LOVE using this stamp set because, as you can see, it really is a simple design, but it adds so much to my card with great ease.

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.  You can also stop by the Stamp Simply Blog each day for lots of great inspiration using these wonderful stamps and products.  We always enjoy your visits.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,
