Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you seeing signs of Autumn yet? Here at home in the San Francisco area, we are just now getting a few cooler days and light breezes. It is a welcome change from the unusually hot summer we’ve had. The slight change in weather and the new “Lovely Leaves” stamp and die set by Ink To Paper, inspired this Autumn card design.
By the way, we are lovin’ the Ink To Paper collection. Check them all out here.
Hi Crafty Friends,

Hi Crafty Friends,
I love roses and I think this “Painted Rose” by Concord & 9th is one of the prettiest ones available. It is very versatile too. You can keep it a single rose or you can accompany it with other flowers for a bouquet.
For this card design, I decided to add a second flower called Hydrangea from Penny Black and the “Just A Note” die, also from Penny Black was used for the sentiment.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you sweltering in the heat? We are here on the West Coast – whew, its hot! But I think I have found a way to beat the heat, at least in my mind. These frosty popsicles made from the Cool Treats turnabout stamp and matching dies from Concord & 9th are just what I need to trick my mind into thinking I am cool as a cucumber!
Hi there,
I am back one more time using the Concord & 9th Fine Line Florals stamp and die set. It is such a beautiful flower that I can’t seem to let it alone.
This time I am only using the big blossom and leaf, plus the matching dies and teaming them up with an alcohol ink background. In case you haven’t noticed, I am obsessed with the bright and bold look the alcohol inks give you.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am using an oldie, but a goodie! The Hello Lovely stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. It has always been one of my favorites and now that Concord & 9th has come out with a matching die and sentiments, I was keen to use it again!
