September SUper Friends Gathering - Autumn Swap Cards and More!

Happy Fall!!!  This past Sunday, we had our September SUper Friends Gathering, and our swap theme was fall cards and projects!  I'm excited for you to see all the beautiful creations, so let's get right to that!!!

Barbara created this fabulous card using elements from two Paper Pumpkin kits -- the August 2019 Gift of Fall kit and the September 2017 Layered Leaves kit:


Connie M. created her lovely card, with beautifully layered leaves and touches of gold, with the Gather Together Bundle, Come to Gather Designer Paper, and a Designer Element accent:  


The next card is a wonderfully festive alternate design with elements from the August 2019 Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin kit created by Jana:


Judy-Ann chose the Gather Together BundleCome to Gather Designer Paper, and one of the frames from the Frosted Foliage Bundle along with some Celestial Copper Delicata Ink, to create her stunning card: 


Kallien created her elegant card with the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, beautifully colored in autumn hues with Stampin' Blends, embossed with the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder, and embellished with Pearl Jewels colored with Stampin' Blends for perfect coordination: 


Margery also used the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder for her gorgeous card, but combined it with the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set, Stitched Nested Labels Dies, and Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon:


Shawna's fun Halloween card cleverly uses the Swirly Scribbles Dies to create the o's in "boo", with some Leaf Ribbon to create a pumpkin stem and an adorable, friendly ghost peeking from one of the o's:


My card has Celestial Copper Delicata Ink used to accent the embossing on the Heirloom Frame Die, to stamp the Birch Background and the greeting and die cut leaf from the Gather Together Bundle.  The images inside the frame were created with the Nature's Beauty Stamp Set, colored with a combination of Stampin' Blends and blended ink:


During our gathering, Judy-Ann demonstrated a new, improved way to create bubble art.  Here is the piece she created during her demonstration, using Real Red and Blueberry Bliss ink refills:




I'd also created some fall themed apple and pumpkin favor boxes for everyone using the new Tiny Keepsakes Bundle, Harvest Hellos Bundle, and leaf dies from the Gather Together Bundle:




Hope you enjoyed these projects!  Thanks so much to the SUper Friends for their amazing cards!!!  And, a big thanks to you for visiting my blog!
