Happy Autumn Y'all! This week's challenge is to use an Autumn Themed Specimen card on your card or turn one into a card! I have video links for 3 styles of specimen cards to help you out. Choose any of the 3 or have some fun looking at other videos for inspiration!

and then turned an index card into a gift card holder...well, I cut the "window" too big so it shows the gift card when it's full slide into place but it'll work!

This will be fun to do! Thanks for the challenge and I really like your creepy (hoping that’s not a real spider), yet cool example.

I liked the flip type. However, I wanted to make it into a card, so made it bigger.

Got this coffee pad of paper at the Expo and wanted to use it. I don't drink the stuff, but know MANY that do, so thought it would be fun. Thought about using a pressed flower, but decided stamping the coffee plant would be better, since I had that available.

Granted, coffee drinkers drink the stuff year round, but autumn seems more like a warm drink time of year. Pretty soon I'll start making my hot tea. ;)

Golda - I love it! I too made it into a 4x6 card so that I had room to write in it!
