I remade this easel card using Tonic Studio's dies, Anna Griffin door and dbl topiary stamp n die, and the pumpkins, senti stickers, leaves in the door hanging and the pumpkin lookin' bling are from Michaels.
This bling I added is half of a whole sticker I had. I wanted to add some bling on the bottom right side, so I was going through my bling stash and I saw this whole sticker and it was too big by itself, so I turned it on it's side and saw that half of it looked kinda like a pumpkin, so I cut it in half, backed it on some orange paper and voila!
The first card I made (see previous post) I made with copper matte and foil paper and a lighter color brick paper and I think I like it a little better 'cause it has more of a rich, fall color. This one is made with gold matte and foil paper and a darker brick paper, which is what the original one I saw on Pinterest had. But it's still one of my favorite easel cards I've seen and made so far.
I wish I had a front entrance that looked like this!

Again, the easel mechanism is also from Anna Griffin, so pretty!

That's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Hey blogger peeps!

I have another fall card to share today.

Entering in these challenges:

Aud Sentiments - #237 Fall
Cardz 4 Galz - #107 Shades of Brown
Cardz 4 Guys - #230 Use Orange
Digi Choosday - #41 AAG (Won Top 3!)
Di's Digi Challenge - Pumpkins

Pin-spirational - #249 Fall/Thanksgiving (Won DT Favorite!)
Polkadoodles - #40 AAG
QKR Stampede - #366 AAG (Won Top 5!)

I wanted to make another fall card, but when all was said and done, it's one of those cards where it turned out just ok. And that's after I tore it apart and and redid it.
I got this foiled card stock, believe it or not, at dollar tree. It came in three different patterns, damask, stripes and dots and I wanted to use all 3 in my 1st attempt, but I didn't like the way it turned out, so I took the foiled paper off because I liked the leaf paper and wanted it to have it showing more. Plus, I wanted to include a circle where the 1st one didn't. The leaf paper is from a paper pak from Hot off the Press called Autumn Backgrounds and the pumpkin, leaves and sentiment are stickers from Michaels and the bow I made from some raffia I had.
