Here is my GDT card using Sami Stamps, Whiskers and Petals!  This image is available here.

Dies used:
Nellie Snellen- Oval stitches
Noor Joy Craft- Frame

Copics used:
cat- E50, 51, 53, 55
flowers- R35, 37, 39, Y21, 17, 11, YR61, 68

Some techniques i used.  I am calling this technique.. inside out.  :)
I actually used the negative cut-out from the frame die on the white paper and the negative cut out from the oval.  Then i took the frame die and embossed it on the yellow paper and layered that under negative part of the frame.  I embossed the background using the inverted embossing instead of the raised embossing.

Directions:
1. Decide your card base.. mine is 5.5" x 5.5
2. Cut out mat 5.25 x 5.25.. i distressed the edges.
*Do not tape down your layers until you have each layer made.
3. Cut out the brown wood grain paper - 5" x 5" distress edges
4. Punch or die cut 4 leaves from one from each autumn color you chose.
5. Cut out your foliage from the green paper
6. Arrange and tape your leaves scattered and tuck in the foliage behind the leaves
7. Die cut your sentiment out. I used a basic Spellbinders oval and matching scallop. If you want to thread ribbon through your sentiment, you can hole punch the sides as shown in the photo.
8. Add your ribbon sentiment and tape the ends of the ribbon to the back (saves on ribbon if you don't wrap it around the back of the card) Adhere to layer you first taped down.
**Optional.. add tiny brads to the top of your wood grain layer
9. Adhere your first mat layer onto the card base
10. Attach the wood grain layer with leaves and sentiment.
11. You are finished!

Miss Daisy Stamps & We Are 3 Digital paper NEW release- Lovely Autumn Card Kit

Did i say i really love the Miss Daisy Stamps - We Are 3 Digital Paper new Lovely Autumn Card Kit? :) Really, i do and have created yet another card

This time i added We Are 3 Digital Paper Just Autumn Collection. So simple and fun to create this card.

We Are 3 Digital Paper - Just Autumn Collection

http://www.missdaisystamps.com/product/we-are-3-digital-paper-just-autumn-collection/

For this card i used the cascading green leaves on white, cut it out as the mat base. Then as you can see i used the white font "Lovely Autumn" sentiment on top of some green paper. The sentiment is a transparent png that you can layer just like your watermarks.

Cool, huh?

Cut the sentiment and another matching paper into circles as shown. Add a matching strip of paper across the cascading leaves. Then add the circles using foam tape for dimension. I also used some of my dies to make the leaves and foliage.

How about a fun quick card! Let's use Miss Daisy Stamps "Lovely Autumn Card Kit"!

One of the joys of using digital paper is that you can size the images and paper to what you need for your projects. 

As an example i created this card using the New Lovely Autumn Card Kit.


What i have done is taken the png multi colored leaves from the card kit and i have enlarged them to use them as embellishments. I hand cut out each one. Then, I also reduced the clusters of leaves and randomly put them all over the paper.  Everything matches and with a few dies you can make a pretty card!

Dies used
