While watching and listening to the gang at Craft Roulette, I was able to create a card in honor of World Card Making Day 2025!
I have Bobby to thank for my card as she is asking for die cut Leaves over at Just us Girls #795.
I have a fun die from Concord & 9th that fits the bill perfectly.
Autumn Inlay Die was cut from Bristol paper, and each leaf was popped
out and colored by type:
I also added blended ink to the background before inlaying
all the leaves and those cute acorns back in place.
My 'friend' sentiment is also from C&9th - Friendly Floral dies.
And 'thank you' is from Waffle Flowers' Label Maker sentiment strips.
I spent a wonderful day with Marcia on Wednesday - more about that soon - she had a sweet little pumpkin die that I didn't have any plans for but after playing around with ink blending I found a way to make them work for her gorgeous Autumn Color Hues #119 colors!
I do hope she likes it...
Marcia, I thought I was so 'together' this time... would you
believe I didn't write this one down??
I found a sweet little gingham of yellow and orange which was darkened a
little with blended ink around the edges! I created a focal point using
an MFT Wonky stitched oval and a rubber mat to deboss it into the paper.
Topped it off with another of those Betterpress-ed sentiments.
Okay. I'm going back in for Therese on Craft Roulette! You can
watch, too! Just look for Craft Roulette on YouTube!

I LOVE these pumpkins! The shape is different and your coloring is awesome! I love the addition of the leaves and acorns too, and that gingham makes a perfect background. Happy WCM Day!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful designs Michele! The mx of colors on your inlaid leaves is beautiful for fall - and I just love the plaid behind your fun pumpkins from Marcia and the leaves and acorns! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never seen a Craft Roulette video... yes I'm living under a rock LOL! Guess I need to check it out. I did check out your pretty leaf card is our JUGs gallery though, happy to see it there! Also happy to see those CUTE pumpkins! Marcia has some fun dies and I sure like what yo'uve done with them!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful autumn cards! I'm always a fan of inlaid designs and this is beautiful! The gingham is a perfect backdrop for those wonderful pumpkins, acorns and fall leaves--a delightful addition to the Color Hues Gallery! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThese are two gorgeous fall cards! I love those inlaid leaves and acorns with the beautifully blended background and those fun pumpkins paired with the gingham look amazing. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteWonderful inlaying technique and I just love the rich fall colors! And those wonky pumpkins have me smiling--such perfect pairing with the gingham background! Happy WCMD although I believe we celebrate it EVERY day! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely celebration of fall these cards are, Michele! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the pumpkins! 🎃. Another dual of beauties. Thanks for sharing at JUGS (again!)
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful Fall cards, warm and cozy! Love that you "toned down" the gingham and made it more fall-ish for your card. Those wonky pumpkins are adorable
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such fun with these inlay dies! Love the fall theme of this one, and the sentiment sits on it beautifully. My heart belongs to your second card with the PB Pumpkin dies which are on my wish list, but will have to wait. I'm usually a year behind in my supplies, but that's okay. I'll still enjoy them. Love the leaves and acorns you added. So cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and that gingham background xx
ReplyDeleteYour inlaid leaves are fabulous Michele and really POP against that lovely green background! I'm also really loving those PB abstract pumpkins and the leaves & acorns from The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Mighty Oak dies...they all look perfect on that wonderful yellow & orange gingham background and is also perfect for our color challenge!! Thanks so much for making my color pairing SHINE my friend and playing along with us!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love my favorite color green as the background for your beautiful inlaid leaves, Michele. Thanks for sharing that card with us at Just Us Girls. So glad you found a way to use those pumpkins, The shape is different and fun and the gingham proved to be a great way to show them off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall cards - love the inlaid leaves and the funky pumpkins are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTwo cute cards, Michele. Love the inlaid die leaves. There's something so satisfying about nestling them back into place. And those pumpkins are delicious! Love the gorgeous pop of colour xx
ReplyDeleteMichele, inlay is one of my favorite techniques to admire and I find myself stopping to study others' cards that use it. This is so colorful and well done. Both cards are fabulous fall designs and the colors are as fabulous as the real changing ones! Thanks for playing with us at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Michele I love how you're able to pull inks from so many different companies together that works so flawlessly together. Beautiful fall card and laid leaves and crazy pumpkins are so fun. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Colour Hues!
ReplyDeleteFall is by far my favorite season and your cards show it perfectly! Such beautiful color and dimension on the inlay die. Then I love the way those pumpkins seem to be hugging each other. Luckily I scrolled down and saw that Marcia said what they were - so already on my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteMichele, Looks like time well spent. You have two beautiful Fall cards here. I love the inlaid leaves and the fun pumpkin shapes are fabulous! I think it is always fun to look at the odd shaped pumpkins when walking through a pumpkin patch. They have the most character and so does your card. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI adore that inlaid card!!! And the inked gingham was such a wonderful touch to your Color Hues entry. I must remember this! Thanks so much for playing!
ReplyDeleteLove your inlaid leaves and acorns. Love your inking and the white accents. And gingham and pumpkins? Perfect together.
ReplyDeleteInlay brilliance my friend! Isn't our day a special one, I was so happy to be able to make a card...even though I had to work, that's more than I've been able to do in the last few years lol.
