Here it is -- the final day of this month's Blog Hop.  My first card for today is a tri-shutter card, which I really think is a fun technique.

The MFP Stamp Shop sets that I used on this card are the Autumn Friendship mini set and the Autumn Glory set.

I have a second card for today.  Autumn is for football!  Today is my son's birthday.  He is (as am I) a huge fan of the Miami Dolphins.   I pulled out a fun set to make this Center Step card using the colors of the Dolphins.   A little paper-piecing allowed me to have their logo on the grill.  I hope he likes this card!

The MFP Stamp Shop sets used on this card are Tailgate Party and the Celebrate Mini set.

CCEE1634 More Herbs, Less Salt Day

It's Liz's last week as hostess for the CCEE Challenge, and she really gave me a challenge.  She writes:  "Herbs and plants add so much to our lives, so in honor of this unusual day, make a card with an herb or plant on it.  I know we have lots of followers who love gardening, so any of these images would work great."   I have no images of herbs, so I opted for a vegetable garden.  I hope that qualifies for this challenge.

Check out the CCEE Stampers Blog to see what the rest of the team created.

For the second day of the Autumn Fun Blog Hop, I decided to do a technique that I just recently learned.  It's sort of a combination of a gatefold card and an easel card.  When it is closed, it just looks like your standard gatefold card with a belly band.

The surprise comes when you take off the belly band and open it up.  Voila!!!   Pretty cool, no?

The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used on this card is Scarecrow.

I decided to make a second card today, using a technique to which I often return -- the Side Step Card.

The MFP Stamp Shop sets used on this card are Fall Apples and Lesson Learned.

As the title of this month's Blog Hop is Autumn Fun, I decided that I would do things that are fun for me -- techniques.  Each day I will have a card or two that use a different technique.  My first technique is a Shaker Card.

 To make my card, I stamped the image on the right side of a piece of white card stock, carefully cutting out the pumpkins.  Then I stamped the image again on a small scrap and formed the shaker box with foam tape around the pumpkins.  After brushing the sides of the foam tape with baby powder, I added the seed beads and covered the box with acetate.  Then I glued it to the under side of the larger piece of cardstock, lining up the images.  I put additional strips of foam tape around the edge of the card stock panel so that it would sit flat on the card base.

Here's a close-up of the shaker portion of my card.

The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used on this card is the Pumpkins and Sunflowers mini set.
