Scrapy Land - Challenge 126

Hello crafty friends,

I have two cards using the Brooklyn Alphabet dies by Frantic Stamper.  I love how tall and thin the letters in this alphabet die are. 

I needed two quick Fall cards, so I kept my design simple and I used pattern paper on both my cards, which measure 8in x4in.  If I were to make these cards again, I would make them as 4.25in.x 5.5in, because as much as i love the letter dies, I fee they are too thin to carry these wider cards.   

The letters were die cut from pattern paper backed with double sided score tape and from thin white foam also packed by double sided score tape.  The cute critter on the second card that I used instead of an "A" in the Adorable Skunk by Frantic Stamper, but I colored (distress inks) him as a squirrel.  I can see from the photo, that I forgot to give him eyes, which were going to be dots of brown nuvo drops.

Scrapy Land - Challenge 125

Welcome crafty friends,

I recently picked up the Sizzix Winter Tree stamp and die set, because you can never have too many tree dies.  If you think about it, tree dies can be used year-round, for all card themes.  I created a Winter and a Fall card w/the same stamp and die set, just by changing the colors and the background pattern papers.

On my Winter card above, I stamped and die cut using greens.  On the Fall card below, I used reds.

Here are some die sets that would work well for this technique
Memory Box Cosenza Tree Border Background
Impression Obsession Fir Trees
Little B Trees
