I won this beautiful Stampin' Up Branch Out set as blog candy from Shelly Schmidt at My Creative Rumblings over the summer. I have always drooled over it and was thrilled to finally own it!! But my crazy summer didn't allow time to play with it, so I finally treated myself yesterday and took time to assemble it and do some stamping. :)
The felt curlicue is a pre-cut self-adhesive Felt Fusion border from Queen & Co. It comes in a 12" strip (which I found on sale for $0.74 at A.C. Moore) and is easy to cut. I love how it dressed up my card!! The buttons are from my stash, and I tied a bow of brown burlap string through the big button.
These cute leaves are from a pack of autumn harvest felt stickers that I just picked up last week at Target's Dollar Spot. The pack of 75 stickers includes these deep maroon maple leaves, green oak leaves, orange pumpkins, and brown "FALL" words (you can just see the part of one of these on the inside of my card.) I think I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of these!!This card is for these challenges:
- Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge:
- Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger: to be inspired by this afghan. I was inspired by its gorgeous fall colors!
- Crafty Creations: falling leaves
- Stamptacular Sunday: fall colors
- 4 Crafty Chicks: celebrate fall

What a great card, Emily!! That is such a fun tree and I love the felt leaves and "grass" you made! The three buttons are great as is all the stitching around the edges. Great card! Congrats on the award too :)
That is tree is awesome and you make using felt so easy! Love the buttons, stitching bows..well everything. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us at 4 Crafty Chicks.
What a great Fall card and I think your tree looks so much like your afghan inspiration. I can't wait for the trees to turn here..so gorgeous! I am loving your felt stickers and scroll as they gave your card such wonderful color and they're such nice embellies. Oh, those stitches..I just have to get out my sewing machine. I think I've forgotten how to use it. LOL Love your card!
