October Stampin' Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle - Celebrating Fall

 Hi all!

Welcome to our October 2022 Blog Waddle.  Fall is here!

Cool nights, warm days, the trees preparing for their winter sleep, pumpkins, colorful gourds and hot apple cider!  All images of fall.  This month we are trying to capture that in our cards that we are showing you.

Today we are celebrating the Autumnal Season with cards.  Here are 4 samples of cards that I have been inspired to make using a variety of techniques and tools.

I used a fun technique with this card:  I used the baby wipe technique, where you add spots of color from your re-inkers onto a baby wipe, then use the baby wipe as your stamp pad.  I used Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie re-inkers to create this card.

Isn't she cute!  I used a fun new way to add DSP to my card.  My base card was 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2.  I then cut a Basic White layer of 4 x 5-1/4.  I used the Gingham Cottage DSP paper by cutting 2 - 2 x 2 squares and then cutting them diagonally, placing the triangles in each corner.  Makes for a unique use of DSP and a bit of an optical illusion!

This card is a basic layout - one of my favorites.  I add texture to the layering panel of card stock by using the Leaf Fall 3-d embossing folder.  A little dry embossing adds that extra something-something to a card.  

And lastly, this beauty which I CASE'd from Mary Deatherage of stampsnlinger.com.  I was really taken with this card and it was so easy to make from a 6x6 piece of DSP - this creates not only the background on the card, but you have enough left over to decorate the envelope flap.  I used the Rustic Harvest Designer Series paper, and then colored the leaves using blending brushes adding the colors of  Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie stamp pads.

Just one more.  I use paper napkin to make this card!  Yes and so easy to do!  You just need to tear off the layers until you only have one.  A glue stick on some Basic white card stock to glue it down, trim and you have a very pretty background for your card.  There are so many pretty napkins that are made, the possibilities are endless.  I made this as a birthday card for our minister at church.
