Silhouette Scenes

I used to love walking in the rain when I was younger.  As a matter of fact, one night when my date brought me home, it started to sprinkle.  On a whim, I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk in the rain.  We went clear around the block in the softly, falling rain. Of course, we didn't have an umbrella, but this card reminded me of that night many years ago,   It was the only time I remember walking in the rain with a date.

This is actually a case from last year's catalog that I intended to do, but time gets away from me too quickly.  I still have the retired DSP but it is no longer available to purchase from Stampin' Up!.  I think I want to try using a new DSP with this set as any of them would work such as Whale of a Time DSP as soon as I order it #152460 for $11.50.  The set "Silhouette Scenes" is still available in the new annual catalog, so hopefully I can create some more cards with this gorgeous set.

It's been quite a busy month since I last posted.  I created 10 cards for my Christmas Class that I had on November 3, so it's time to post them to my blog.  Let me know which is your favorites.  Here is my first card which was inspired by the sample card on page 62 of the Holiday Catalog, but I used the Delicata Metallic Copper ink.  Here are the instructions for my first card.

Harvest Hellos - Apples

Hi Stampers,  I was gone a lot in September so wasn't able to post as much as I would like to.  However, I have been making lots of card samples and hope to start sharing again this month.
I did a few Fall cards, but not so much Halloween.
This is my card swap for September, so I will share it first.   Here are my instructions:

1.     The base of the card is Soft Suede cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted in to the Stamparatus.  Use the Birch Background stamp using Soft Suede ink to create the background.
3.    Use Granny Apple Green cardstock and Granny Apple Green ink using the apple stamp.  Use the Apple Builder Punch to punch it out.  Do the same with Crushed Curry and Poppy Parade.
4.    Use Soft Suede ink and cardstock for the stems and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.  Attach stems to all three apples using Snail Adhesive.
