I am so excited to be part of this blog tour and have been stamping my heart out to show you some great ways to use this set. When I saw this stamp set in the new catalog I just had to have it. Imagine that, had to have. Bet you've never said that before. Autumn is such a pleasant season here in Michigan, when the leaves are turning they make for a spectacular view. I know it's not Autumn yet but I hope you are enjoying the tour so far.
My featured set for this blog tour is Autumn Days which can be found on page 92 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.
For my first project I used lots of the new in colors. I still don't know which is my favorite!
For this card I used Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Whisper White card sock, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Rich Razzleberry classic ink. I love the new names as much as the colors. I added some texture with the handy dandy crimper, folded back an edge and finished it off with some Polka-Dot Soft Suede Grosgrain Ribbon.
Now here is where I really started to like this set. I am always getting asked for manly cards and I think these next two create that beautifully.
I broke into my new Autumn Traditions DSP and some Soft Suede Textured card stock to make this simple design. The wheat spray was stamped with Crushed Curry and then I added some Soft Suede with my new In Color Markers. I was doing a dance when I saw those. I used the rock n roll technique to get the two tones on my bird then cut him out. Now you ask how about that ribbon. Well I just colored that awesome Organza Ribbon that I buy tons of.
I used another design from the Autumn Traditions DSP and spiced up the colors on this card. I am awed at how well Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Ruby Red, Soft Suede and Elegant Eggplant brighten up a fall card. And again I love the Modern label punch!
And of course I just had to do a Christmas card. My favorite holiday as I'm sure it is to most. Whenever I see pine cones it just makes me think winter and then that leads to snow and then the natural next thought is Christmas.
Supplies for this card are: Very Vanilla and Soft Suede card stock, Always Artichoke and Soft Suede Markers, Autumn Traditions DSP and Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon.
How simple is that.

Your cards are beautiful. I'm so glad you used the Autum traditions paper, because it just didn't stand out in the catalog. You've done an awesome job with it.
