Creating Pretty Cards – Monthly Card Challenge #14!

Hello Stampers,
I saw this sketch and all of a sudden I had all these ideas for cards, so although the challenge was to create one card using the sketch, I created three. Yea, I know I got a little carried away. LOL

Here's the sketch for CPC14
And here is one of my inspired cards (CPC14) 01

When I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of a leaf falling so this is what I came up with.
I used the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (126906) that I got at convention. I don't think I would have ever bought this DSP because I don't do a lot of Halloween cards, but now I really like this paper and plan on getting more.
I also use More Mustard, Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I use the leaf from Betsy's Blossoms (126006) and the sentiment from Loving Thoughts  (125845). I also use Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon (120999). I used the Finishing Touches Edgelits (127010) and Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595). I embossed with the Square Lattice folder (119976) and used the new Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003) to layer the DSP. This card has a lot of layering but I don't think it looks too busy.

Here is my second inspired card (CPC14) 02

I just love the colors in the Floral District DSP (126919). On this card I used the Sweets for the Sweet (122512) stamp set as well as Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370) stamp set. I used a little bit of Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon (125583) in the bottom corner. I used the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch (119854) and the 1 3/8" Circle punch (119860). For the sentiment, I used the Word Window punch (119857) and the Modern Label punch (119849).

Well, I just couldn't make these cards without making a Christmas card, so here is what I came up with (CPC14) 03

This one was pretty fun to make and I just love the colors, Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla. On this card I used the Be of Good Cheer DSP (126896) and Gumball Green card stock (126840), Cherry Cobbler card stock (119685) and Very Vanilla card stock (101650). I added a little piece of Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon (124138) in the lower right corner. I used the new Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003) for the sentiments and the Ornament punch (119847) as well as the 1" (119868) and 3/4" (119873) Circle punches. I used the new Merry Minis stamp set (127919) with the coordinating Punch Pak (126882). Then I used the Chock-Full of Cheer stamp set for the Merry Christmas sentiment.
