First of all a BIG thank you to all those of you who ordered stamps. Nearly 30 packets went out earlier today, so I am hoping they will arrive safely at their destination. Some of you are still on my "waiting list", just so you know, I have not forgotten you, but as I am busy all week it will have to wait until next Sunday.
On to today's project:
As some of you know, she lives in Australia, so in her mind her birthday is in Spring of course, while here in the Northern Hemisphere we think of it as Autumn. So on this card I wanted to illustrate both seasons going on right now. Here are some details:
An autumnal cluster made with mostly Sizzix by Tim Holtz dies.
And a flower cluster, the flowers were made with another Heartfelt Creations flower die and coloured with some of my new Shimmerz paints and sprays.
Well, that's it for right now. Making these accordion flip cards are really good fun, I had left mine to gather dust for far too long. Don't be surprised if there are a few more appearing soon.
Thank you for visiting like always and have a fun creative week. Mine will sadly be rather busy with my day job, but such is life....

Lovely Astrid, love how you showcased the seasons and I love the warm tones too. Love,the squirrel image. Good luck with the de cluttering I have just finished mine it feels great x x x x
This is absolutely enchanting, Astrid! What a lovely idea to have the two seasons in one - one for where she is and one for where you are. I love that Calico squirrel and acorns - adorable - and the shimmering butterfly is lovely. Gorgeous.

What a pretty card! Happy Birthday to your granddaughter!

Another stunning creation here Astrid. I´m very sure your granddaughter will just love it. You really managed to mix the 2 seasons sooo well on it, so it still feels just as one with these amazing colors here. WOUW 30 packs of stamps, that´s a lot. It must really give some great space in your stamps to find, what you need afterwards then ha ha ha. But I know, sometimes we just need to clean out a bit in things, that´s simply nature and sooo nice, when it IS done ha ha ha.
Have a great week ahead now, and hopefully not too much work.
A stunning card and such a wonderful shape to show off all the wonders
Love Chrissie xx

I Will be looking so much forward seing what you have chosen for me, Astrid, and will ofcoutse tell you as soon as it arrived to me !!

Beautiful card for your granddaughter, I imagine she will be thrilled with it. 30 packets of stamps sounds like a lot, you must have went through a big clean out ! I've given away so many stamps over the years and I enjoy clearing things that I no longer think I will use. (occasionally I've looked for something I know longer have). Take good care, Shirleyxx
What an enchanting card-project Astrid! Gorgeous! I can feel the love you set in for your little girl!♥♥♥

What fun, Astrid!! You are always so creative in these things! I am sure your granddaughter will love it, and what a wonderful way to help her understand the geographic difference in seasons! Beautiful details and colors, as always! xx Lynn
Wow, such a beautiful card - the seasons compliment each other perfectly and I love the little clusters of foliage in the corners. I'm sure your granddaughter will love it.
What a lucky granddaughter to have such a talented grandmother!! I love how you represented both seasons- so clever! A beautiful card which I am sure she will treasure! xo
Your card is soooo beautiful Astrid. It's so perfect for your granddaughter. I would never have thought to do something like this. And if I did - I wouldn't have made the colors blend so wonderfully as you did. Love that little squirrel!! Unique and totally stunning creation. j.
