Crunched Leafdrops


Time for some mid month inspiration at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where it's all about Autumn. We have prizes from AALL and Create and Stamp Addicts.

I instantly fell in love with Abs Crunched Leafdrop (1109) and matching dies Leafinately Details (25) when released last year. I stamped the leaves onto a piece of cardstock inked in Autumnal colours, cut out with the dies and arranged onto a acetate panel. Inside an Autumnal scene from MCS and of course my favourite squirrel.


For SS I've used Stamp Addicts Hot Air Balloons and Scenic Sailing, stamped the mountain range and added some Pan Pastels for colour, a big sun a few worker stamps, then the balloons which I stamped, cut out, coloured and raised using Pinflair.

Still plenty of time to join in, the challenges run until 30th October and as always you can join in three times.

2 fabulous cards Brenda … love the coloured balloons on the second card but my favourite is the leaf card … I love those stamps and dies! A week or so ago I was on the of and suddenly somehow clicked on the A&C site … and saw those stamps and dies half price! I got all excited and thought as soon as I’d finished what I was doing I’d investigate further. Sadly one hour later both were showing as full price with one sold out … I think it must have been a mistake on the website which was quickly spotted and rectified 🥲
