Remember last month I started a year-long effort to make cards using the Color Theory Memories & More card pack? My goal is to use a hand full of the printed cards each month, to make other things. Right now, I'm still focused on making other cards. I may get ambitious next month and try some tags or *GASP* a scrapbook page. :)
The card pack contains 72 double-sided cards: (52) 3" x 4" cards (2
each of 26 designs), and (20) 4" x 6" cards (2 each of 10 designs).
These are the cards that I made for my September batch. Keep scrolling for close-ups of each, along with supplies.
For the September batch, these are the Color Theory Memories & More cards that I used. I chose 4 designs, and I used both cards for each
design = 8 cards used total.
I was going for a Fall and Halloween theme this month. I used several stamps and products from the Holiday catalog, mixed in with things found in the Annual catalog.
This Halloween card used: the Spooky Cat bundle (stamps and punch), Black Shimmer ribbon, Black Rhinestones, and the Petal Burst embossing folder. Colors are Old Olive and Basic Black.
I love this little guy! I know yellow isn't a terribly Halloween-y color, but it fit. I also cut the branch out using the Seasonal Layers thinlits. Embossed the tone-on-tone background with the Layered Leaves folder. I hand-cut the owl.
This OWLoween card used: Spooky Cat stamp, Seasonal Layers thinlits, Layered Leaves embossing folder, Black rhinestones, 2 1/4" circle punch. Colors are Crushed Curry and Basic Black.
This card was actually the first one that I made in this batch. I wanted a non-Halloween cat, so I just used the cat punch. I kept a "fall-y" feel with the Woodland embossing folder, and some Copper trim.
This card used: One Big Meaning stamps, Cat punch, Copper trim, and the Woodland embossing folder. Colors are Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip.
With this card, I was feeling the COPPER. I added some more Copper Trim, and did some embossing with Copper powder. The leaf-print card is actually stuck right on top of one of the bigger cards, to cover up the grid pattern that I didn't care for.
This card used: One Big Meaning stamps, Copper Trim, Copper embossing powder. Colors are Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive.
I saved the best for last! This is my favorite - and I'm sure you can guess why. LEAVES, LEAVES, LEAVES. And Fall colors. I embossed the tone-on-tone background with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder, and added some die cut leaves. The big yellow leaf was stamped on one of the Memories & More cards, and cut out. The rest of the leaves were just stamped on cardstock, and cut.
This card used: Vintage Leaves stamps, the Leaflets framelits, Pinewood Planks embossing folder, 5/8" Burlap ribbon, and plenty of glue. Colors are Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Crushed Curry.
I hope you enjoyed these Halloween and Fall cards that I created using the Memories &
More card pack. We'll see what creative ideas October brings!
Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
