Playing with Dies from Lawn Fawn and Spellbinders to Make Cards for Fall

 Today I am showing off two cards that I randomly made while playing with different die sets and different products from different companies.  I love to mix and match to come up with some really original cards.  Here are the two I created (as alway, products used are listed at the end of this post)

For this first card I started with an A2 card base and added a white cardstock mat that I ink blended some purple, dark blue and lighter blue ink on to create a sky.  Then I took a piece of green pattern paper and just cut a curve in it with my scissors to create a ground.  The two pieces were glued together, trimmed and placed on the front of the card.  Next I cut out the house and used the Halloween add ons along with some spellbinders pieces to create this spooky, cute  Halloween scene.  I inked all the pieces with various colored inks and glued all the pieces to the front of the card.  I found and old spellbinders die which spelled BOO! in my stash with made the perfect sentiment for that card.  

For the second card, I followed a sketch design from a popular challenge blog.  I didn't enter the card, but had a lot of fun creating it.  I started with a 5.25" square base card to which I added some dark yellow patterned paper.  I then created three section on the card with a solid dark yellow cardstock.  Next I embossed some cream colored paper with fall leaves using an embossing folder from my stash.  These were then arranged and glued to the front of the card as shown.  To create the scarecrow,  I die cut various colors of cardstock and assembled him for the rectangular section.  He was popped up with foam squares.  I used a newer die set for the pumpkin, leaves, and acorn.  These were all cut from copic coloring paper and colored with my copic markers.  I then arranged them as shown and popped them up onto the card as shown.  The sentiment was cut from an older Spellbinders die.  

I love both of these cards for different reasons.  Both are extremely colorful, which I really like, both used mixed products which I like, and both mixed some old and new products.  I hope you like them and will consider giving them a go yourself!
