Best Part about Fall

We are having such a beautiful fall this year in upstate NY.  It seems like the leaves are staying longer on the trees so we can enjoy them more and I have been outside a lot doing just that.  

Every year I look forward to the pretty colors, apple cider donuts (Can I just say, Thank you God, for apple cider donuts?), cool crisp air, Thanksgiving and of course, pumpkin pie. 

Today I was finishing up a fall card from a class that I had a couple of weeks ago.  Instead of the apple cider theme, I decided to go with pumpkins!  I love pumpkin lattes (and I don't even drink coffee!), pumpkin donuts and pumpkin pie.  The sayings on this card are embossed with copper powders and although you can't see it on the card, it makes the card shine.

I got my apple cider donuts and some amazing apples at the Vintage Market in VT recently, so I'm all set there.  Now I just need some pumpkin coffee and desserts to get my fall fix.  I guess I'm off to the store for some delicious pumpkin ingredients!

I love all of the things about fall, but the absolute best part?

Playing with my g-girl!  

 

Changing Leaves

Changing Leaves is a stamp set, cut outs and embossing folder set from last year that I haven't had a chance to use.  I just love the embossed leaves that you can also cut out!  I used Basic Beige cardstock for this card, added a piece of designer paper from Gathering Leaves for the front.  I added some sprigs and a gold foil strip to put along the side of the card.  

What a sweet set to work with!

This next card starts with Pretty Peacock cardstock.  I added some designer papers next, one from Nature's Sweetness and another one with a soft teal look to it.  I embossed the teal paper with the leaf folder, then added a stamped image and some sprigs to finish off the card.  I love how these two cards came out.  

I will definitely make more using this set.

For my third card, I used the fun set called More Than Autumn.  It has such cute coffee, donut and pie images in it.  I chose to make my card to celebrate apple cider donuts, one of my favorite fall treats.  I embossed the words and cut them out of white paper for my card.  

I want to make another card using this set so that I can "make" a pumpkin pie - another of my favorite fall treats.  :)  So fun.
