I'm not sure about Welcome Autumn as I'm a Summer Lover myself! But I do love the beautiful colours of the Autumn leaves.
This month I'm using this stunning stamp set Natures Beauty, this has an added bonus of £2.50 of every sale going towards Mental Health Organisations.
I've used a few techniques on this card. 1. Masking my Deer. 2. Baby Wipe Technique. 3. Heat Embossing 4. Die cutting. While I was making this card I thought I would also try a Winter Card, same design.
I've made a video to show you how I made the Autumn card.

Welcome to this months Hop, every month we join together to make a PDF file of awesome projects for our customers, then using the same stamp set used in the PDF we show you another project. This month I used the cute Snowman set Snowman Season, which comes with a handy punch.
I stamped my snowman and his hat then did a minimal amount of colouring. I added some sparkle with the new Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin’ Glitter! I wanted my snowman to wobble so I added an Action Wobble to his back. I was planning on only having one snowman but thought he looked a bit lonely and added two more.
Only a small amount of colouring required.
The Let it Snow DSP is part of the suite so goes perfectly as a background. My snow bank was just Whisper White, cut with some Scissors in a curve.You could add some Ice Stampin’ Glitter to the snow as well. This is a fun card with it's surprise wobble, it's also an easy card to make.
Please watch my video on how I made these cute wobbly cards.

Welcome to this months hop, you were just with Cheryl Taylor and now you are with Linda Handford, I’m in the UK. The theme this month totally threw me, I have no baby or wedding stamps, just not what I’ve had need to create lately, so I had to improvise with what was in my craft room.
I decided to make a 6” x 6” Album, well out my comfort zone, never made one before, I thought this would actually work for both Brides and Babies.
I used some lovely pastel colours and I’ve gone for a nautical wedding/baby theme. I’ve not put any sentiments on the album so it could be used for either Baby or Bride!
I had no appropriate DSP so I made my own by stamping lots of different nautical images in varying colours and Gold Emboss Powder. This obviously made it much more time consuming, if you use DSP, which I plan to use next time, it would be a much faster make.
I made a few mistakes along the way! I stuck my cover down in the wrong order, one of my pages went in the wrong position and my inside cover sticking, well shall we be kind and say it was a bit wonky! Despite all this I am very pleased with my end result, this was my first try after all, I am already thinking of making another for Christmas!
Check out my video, filmed slightly differently than my normal style as I didn’t want it to be too long!
