An Autumn Card for Friday Mashup!

I found another fun challenge blog!  It is called Friday Mashup.   They give you a choice of 2 challenges or you can 'mash it up' and do both together!  Their challenge this week was to create an Autumn Theme project or create something with Yellow and Orange.  OR, mash it up and create something Autumn with yellow and orange!   Since I'm in such a "Fall" mood this was easy to do!

I pulled out my Dreamin' paper pack and my Harvest Happiness stamp and got to work.

I used the Arts Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut out the acorn and leaves for my coordinating stamps. I used Goldrush and Honey inks for leaves for my 'yellow' and 'orange' colors.
Be sure to visit Friday Mashup for some more inspirations for autumn!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
