Another fall card

Hi everyone! Here's another fall card using stamps from Plum Purdy.


Using Memento ink, I stamped the image onto stampers select white cardstock then colored with Copic markers. I added some shadow under the pumpkin but not sure if I like the out come.

The tangerine colored paper in the back ground comes from a free paper pack I got Cornish Heritage Farms before they went out of business. Black polka dot paper is from PTI.

The satin bow started it's life out as white and I used a Copic marker in honey to color it. Love how it came out!

I linked to plum purdy in my sunflower trio post, so if you haven't checked out her stamps, please do. I bought the clear ones and they are great! My only wish is that she would add to her collection and come up with some new ones!

Hi everyone! I hope this finds you all being crafty or looking for inspiration to become so!  I stamped the main image a while ago and it sat on my work space just waiting for me to make up my mind how I wanted to use it.


This is what I ended up with! Flower stamp is from Gina K Designs and the sentiment is from Purple Onion.

The flowers are colored on the stamp and then misted with water to create the watercolor effect. I used Memento summer sky blue ink to sponge around them. To create the layer on top of the circle I just used the two closest nestie circles and cut out the thin distance between them.

Border die is Tessatina from Memory Box. I added some self adhesive pearls to the center of the die cut out to match the flower centers. I used Wacky Tac from KandCompany to adhere to border and the circle layer.

Gingham bow is created using the Bow Easy.

Sunflower trio

Hello everyone! Playing around with some fall stamps and this is what materialized.



Stamps are from Plum Purdy and colored with Copic markers. I decided to dust off that notch corner punch and punch all the corners of the yellow and black cardstock. I did some paper piercing to add some interest since I decided not to clutter this one up with ribbon.

What do you think? CAS enough?

Thanks for stopping by!





Supplies:
Black and white cardstock - PTI
Yellow cs - Bazzill
Stamps - Plum Purdy

Anniversary wishes

Hi all! I actually decided to play along in the weekly sketch challenge over at SCS.  It's been a long time since I've done so and I like that this weeks sketch could be used in so many different ways.


I decided to go pretty clean and simple, but you can really dress this sketch up! Sorry for the dark picture.

Vintage cream cardstock used throughout, with a little bit of shiny gold thrown in for some layers and definition.

The textile embossing folder was used to emboss the back ground layer - I have to say I think that folder and the Swiss dots are my all time favorite embossing folders. I did pop up that layer using foam tape.

Anniversary wishes sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. Finally, I unearthed some gold cording to use to tie the bow. Not sure if I like it or not. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween

Hey there! I hope this finds everyone doing well! Here's a quick Halloween card for you today.

Designer paper is from the Nightfall collection from Memory Box. I stamped the spider web and spider onto the dp that already had the word Halloween on it. I decided to heat emboss the spider with clear embossing powder so that it would stand out a bit more. Stamps are from Inkadinkado.

The web on the black card base is also heat embossed using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder.

To get the pointy cut on the banners just right I used a square craft punch at an angle. The sketch for this card came from Viva La Verve over at SCS.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cased fern cut out

Hi everyone! I saw something very similar to this on Pinterest and thought it was wonderful and just had to case it.

I used vintage cream cardstock and the fern die from Poppy stamps to cut it out on a slight angle.  Stamped the sentiment in archival jet black ink and backed it onto a green card base.

Extremely quick, clean and simple. What do you think?




Supplies:
Fern die from Poppy stamps
Sentiment from Papertrey, Ink
Vintage cream cardstock from PTI
Green cardstock from Bazzill

Under the weather?

Hi everyone! This card is made to stash a way for Christmas giving to my Dad's girlfriend. She always requests that I make her get well cards for one of her Christmas gifts. So, when this set came out from Papertrey, Ink a while ago, I decided to buy it and get started!


Clouds are cut out of gray and white cardstock using the coordinating dies. I popped a few of them up using foam tape to give it some dimension!

This one is a fast CAS card that I can make for her stash.

Thanks for stopping in!
