Hi Everyone,
The day is finally here...Woo Hoo!
Welcome to the Sparkle and Sprinkle Autumn Inspirations Blog hop! We are showing off all kinds of autumn goodies on our cards today, so I hope that you can hop along with us and be inspired to create something for one of the prettiest seasons of the year.
Now, if you arrived from the Sparkle and Sprinkle blog you are good to go. If not, start there for all the details on the prizes you could win by leaving comments along the way, and that's also where you will find the winners from the blog hop announced on Saturday August 27th!
OK! On to my cards full of glittery goodness :)
For the first card I used this Small Pumpkin Stack (1284-228B) stamp from the set Harvest Pumpkins (228). I love the art work of this stamp. And because it's so beautifully drawn, it was a dream to color. Trust me when I say, it was so easy to make it look this good. My kinda stamp! I used the Sparkle and Sprinkle Sticker Paper (99558) for my bold glittery stripes along with the following colors of glitter:
Autumn Medley(G1013)
Azetec Gold(G1006)
Burnt Orange(G1105)
Did I mention that I love pumpkins that aren't carved with jack o lantern faces? I like those too, but when they aren't carved, they work for fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Here I used the Happy Thanksgiving (3484-410B) stamp found in the Autumn Swirl (410) set. Full card details can be found by clicking here.
I decided to use patterned paper for my next card along with the Faith (3283-410B) sentiment which I embossed in Burgundy (EP117). Since it mentioned acorns, I used the Swirly Acorn (3286-410B) from the same set for an embellishment. Sticker paper was used for the glitter behind it and 1/4" Tear-iffic Tape (SAT01) was used to created the glitter stripes. That's also what is holding both of these cards together too. Again, full details on this card can be found by clicking here.
Did I mention that many of these autumn themed items are on special for 15% off this month at Sparkle and Sprinkle? Gotta love a great deal!

Beautiful Karin! I wouldn't have thought to use the sticker paper for stripes.

Your cards are both lovely. On the first card, I like the way the glittery strips & the ribbon perfectly set off the stack of pumpkins. On the second I like how you used the acorn as an embellishment & finished it off with the pretty lace.
Oh Karin - you used those colours beautifully!
