Today’s Bloggers’ Challenge is using Designer Paper. No brainer for me…I have trouble NOT using Designer Paper on my cards! I think Stampin’ Up!’s designer papers are fabulous!
I really kind of cheated on today’s card. The base part of it with the designer paper was already done. I had started using it and didn’t like this background with the focal element I was using, so I took it off and used it on another card. This base card has been sitting on my desk for a couple weeks. So…when I saw the challenge was Designer Paper, I already had a good start on my card!
This uses the new Autumn Meadows Designer Paper from the Holiday Mini. These papers are GORGEOUS! I love the addition of Taken with Teal in with the Earth Elements, although I don’t normally associate blues with fall colors. The Taken with Teal really POPS off the paper! Love it! I also used the set Autumn Days with the Pheasant stamped on Soft Suede with Chocolate Chip ink and cut out. I used the Circle Scissors Tool to make 3 sizes of circles…easy as pie to turn the knob a little to make the different layering sizes! The grass stamp behind the Pheasant was inked with Soft Suede and stamped several times without inking for a dimensional look.
The greeting, Let’s Celebrate, is from On Your Birthday. The base card is Kraft cardstock with a layer of Taken with Teal that has been distressed on the edges. I tore off the upper corner of the Autumn Meadows paper and added a torn edge of Soft Suede cardstock. I also added a band of Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon across the front and beneath the circles.
Hope you have a great weekend coming up! My Stamp Clubs met last night…such a FUN group! They liked the projects we did!

Beautiful card! Love the torn edges and how you layered up the pheasant…
This is so pretty! Love the blue and brown together! {SMILES}
Love this, Connie! The layout is great! Fantastic fall card or masculine birthday card.
Connie, this card turned out fabulous, love the colors of it!
This is beautiful! Using leftover pieces is not cheating…it is recycling! :o)
What a lovely card Connie! Not cheating…smart crafting! 🙂
This is lovely! The DP is so cute…Leftover pieces cheating??? Uh-Oh I am in trouble then! I always save my scraps!!! LOL Great card, Connie!
Really pretty. Love the use of the blue with the brown (very nice combo) and the torn edges are great.
Not sure but the comment thing doesn’t seem to like me today for some reason.
Anyway I think this is a lovely card. The color combo is so pretty and unique for a Fall card but it works.
Very pretty! Great image to use with this DSP (another fave of mine!)
Such a pretty card! I love this unusual (for fall) color scheme and the use of the pheasant with it!
A beautiful and classic card, love the details.

I’m so glad to see someone use this paper out of that pack – I’ve been stumped. Great job on it!
Beautiful color scheme, Connie.
What a lovely card Connie! Such a beautiful mix of rich colors! As always, so well done! 😀
This is a stunning card! So warm, yet masculine!
Very nice Connie!!
