Fell in love with those "Autumn Icons" dies from HA this month and since Darnell is having her NBUS challenge, these were the perfect choice!
For both the leaf and the pumpkin, I put some wide micropore tape on the back of my paper and then die cut. The tape is leftover from when I had my knee surgery, but you can buy lots of places. That way all the little bits and bobs stayed in place. All the paper that I used came from a pad from Target that I bought last fall - love the shiny copper! I have two guy birthdays in October, so these will be for Matthew and John. The little sentiment strip was embossed with copper powder from HA.
Love to have you visit and to read your kind comments.
Both of your cards are wonderful...I especially like the striped one. I feel some CASEing coming up. tfs
ReplyDeleteOh wow--such great Fall cards, Betty! I need to use those papers--thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you fell in love with these dies, Betty...they're fabulous and you have showcased them beautifully! I think being cut in copper, they're perfect for the boys, too!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Betty. The dies look amazing with that paper.
ReplyDeleteBoth so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteTwo fab masculine cards, Betty! Just love what you did with the copper paper - seems I'm hoarding mine... So sad they don't carry the papers at Target anymore :(
ReplyDeleteBrilliant fall cards, Betty! Those dies are great and I'm a sucker for anything copper! You've designed really manly cards for Matthew and John. Now don't forget Luke and Mark like copper, too!! (Just slap me!) Thank you so much for playing in NBUS Challenge #12!! Hugs, Darnell

P.S. I'd love to have you stop by and play along with us at Word Art Wednesday, too. LOTS of great prizes and loads of fun. I hope you will join us there as well. It's another great place to share your NBUS. www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
Fab cards betty...lvoe that coppery foiling. I still have those pads.
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous Betty! Thanks for the great tip about Micropore, I had never heard of that! I had heard about the 'Press n Seal', but we can't get that here in the UK, BUT, we CAN get Micropore! Thank you so much for your visit to my blog whilst I was away, it is so lovely to come back and read everyone's sweet comments! Have a lovely day my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx
