Suite Showcase #18 - All About Autumn

Hello,

As summer comes to an end we approach the most beautiful season of all, Autumn is my favourite colour.  I didn't realise this until sometime last year when I looked at my winter wardobe as it consists of warm oranges, yellows and browns.

So when it came to creating this project for this months Suite Showcase I was super excited as we would be using the All About Autumn Suite by Stampin' Up!  as it contains all of my favourite colours:

For a change I decided to create a 3D project and I had recently purchased a cork placemat that I was going to turn into a wallhanger  (one I get my drill back).

When I was planning this I knew I would have great fun creating all of the leaves using a variety of different methods.

I had used the dies to cut out one sheet of All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) and used both sides of the SDSP for variety, I used the leaves spine to cut out the Oxidized Copper paper.  

In addition to this, I also used a few of the Classic Stampin' Ink Refills in the above colours and used the Wet Wipe technique to add the blended colours on the Cajun Craze cardstock.

Once they were arranged on the cork placemat I the added the Copper and Natural ribbon and finished off with the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots, it all co-ordinated just like autumn does.

Please see below the supply list of the products used in these projects:

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my wall hanger and if you would like to see more projects using this suite you can head on over to Joanna's (Purrfectly Creative) to see what she has created.

Suite Showcase #17 - Earthen Elegance

Happy September to you all, 

Welcome to another Suite Showcase as we start to move onto the Autumn season of crafting before we start crafting for the festive season.  For this Showcase we have chosen to use Stampin' Up!'s Eathen Elegance Suite which is very neutral in colour.

I truly had no idea what to craft, I had thought about cards and then I thought about scrapbooking pages but I really couldnt make my mind up. However, I then had a brainwave after a visit to a National Trust property:

          

Belton House

Grantham.

Here is that brainwave, voila a mini scrapbooking album...

To be fair, it is a mini scrapbook album with lots of pages that fold out or fold down to allow for lots of photos and journalling to be added when I complete it over the next week or two.  I made the inside by using card blanks and builded onto it as I expanded the pages.

Here are some more photos of the insides:

When I was constructing this album I used the Stampin' Up products listed below and the only additional item that I used was two pieces of thick card (like chipboard) that had been included with some foil card as packaging:

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read this post so why not pop over to Joanna's (Purrectly Creative) post to see what she has created using the Earthen Elegance Suite
