The Crew Quarters

This is my last posting with fall themed cards for this year.  I'll start back with holiday cards tomorrow.  I'm going to share two today.

This first card was designed by Catherine Lambson and features the Cottage Window stamp set.  This is why I love swaps!  I get to share different cards and ideas, even if I don't own the stamp set used.

She stamped the window on Midnight Muse card stock, then cut it out. It's popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals and then layered over a piece of stamped Whisper White card stock underneath to create depth.  

Doesn't this appear like you're looking out the window?  This set also has a bird and flowers for spring/summer and snowflakes and holly for winter/Christmas.  

This next card is from Tricia Kaplan in New York.  It features the Gently Falling stamp set from the catalog.  It also uses a sentiment from the Word Play set which you can purchase individually - woohoo!

She used the Woodgrain Embossing Folder for the card base, then some of the First Edition Specialty DSP to stamp the leaves on.  The circle is punched with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.  

Tricia used an Aqua Painter to color the leaves after stamping with the ink from the ink pads.
