Autumn Blessings

Good Afternoon!  

A Chilly Fall day here, but I welcome it! 

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Stamp TV, Fall Is In The Air

Stamping Sensations, I Spy The Letter 'B' (Blessings Or Blossoms)

Scrapy Land, Anything Goes #98

Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Favorite Technique

I started with a wood grain background by scoring my card stock every 1/4 inch.  I then swiped inks all over it to get just the right look.  The inks I used were; Wild Honey, Antique Linen and White. My stamps are by Gina K Designs; Beyond Baskets, Fanciful Fall and Fill It With Flowers.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I also heat embossed the galvanized bucket using Black Embossing Powder.

I enjoy coloring with Copic Markers I also enjoy fussy cutting images out, so these were my favorite techniques for this card.  The corner die is by Cheery Lynn, Lace Corner Deco H.  Plaid Designer Paper, Ribbon, Button and Twine for accents.  Raven Black ink.

I popped up one blossom for a bit of dimension.  Another favorite technique. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Pumpkin Frame

Good Morning!

Back on the Tutti Designs Inspiration Blog today.

 

This card will be showcasing one of the new August Release dies, # 387 Pumpkin Frame. 

 

Fall is in the air people.....and I am thankful!

 

 

 

 

I die cut this beautiful Pumpkin Frame and colored it with Copic Markers.  Then I covered it with Versa Mark ink and Clear Embossing Powder.  Heated it to get that pretty shine.

 

 

 

 

Added a Fall stamped image and sentiment from the Gina K Designs set, Fanciful Fall.  Adhered it to my card panel adding Sheer Ribbon and Randomly tossed Sequins (wink, wink).  This completed my Autumn Blessings card.

Double D, Pumpkin Time

Its that time again, time for another FUN Challenge over at the Double D Challenge Blog.  This time, Fall is in the air.....can't you feel it coming?  I. Can. Not. Wait.

Here's the Inspiration Board from this time around!

 

And here's what I created, which will also be entered into the Challenges at; Stamping Sensations, Autumn and Penny Black, Autumn.

 

 

Gina K Designs stamp set, Fanciful Fall.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I created my frame using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8.  Pumpkins were fussy cut out and popped up using dimensionals.

 

 

Cheery Lynn Wheat Heads and Poppy Stamps Verona Flourish dies.  Adhesive Rhinestone accents. 

 

I am so looking forward to the Fall Season.  Cooler temps, less traffic a more relaxing surrounding.  Plus good hair days!  :)

Autumn Blessings

Good Morning!

I just have to say I LOVE October!  I think it's one of the best months of the year......and I am not even a Halloween fanatic lol

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, World Card Making Day 1--Carved Wood Technique, Simon Says Monday, Powder Power, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes,Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Red, Orange, Yellow and/or Brown, Stamping Sensations, Autumn, Penny Black, Autumn and Cheery Lynn, Anything Goes!

You MUST watch this fabulous VIDEO from Gina all about the Wood Carving Technique!!!

Here's what I came up with!

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Fanciful Fall and Heartfelt.  Images colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  Pumpkins adhered to a Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 die cut, sponged with Wild Honey ink.  My Carved Wood background was created by scoring every 1/2" on a piece of White Pure Luxury card stock that measured 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches.  Then using Distress Inks in Weathered Wood and Wild Honey I swiped my inks on.  I love the orange and blue hues this left me with, so I used those colors in my card base and layering pieces.  I then ran my 'wood grain' panel through my Big Shot using a Sizzix Paisley Embossing Folder.  For the last step I took a Color Box Frost White ink pad and swiped it over my Paisley imprint......WOW!  That's when all the magic happens!!!

 

I added 3 leaf die cuts using the Cheery Lynn Fall Leaves 8, there are actually 8 different leaf dies in this set, they are so beautiful and have so much texture on each cut!  My sentiment was heated using Copper Embossing Powder, on a Vellum hand cut strip.  I also coated my pumpkins in Clear Embossing Powder to add a bit of shine (this was done before I knew I would be adding a Vellum sentiment strip over them).  Thin Jute Twine and Adhesive Rhinestones for accents.  

 

The look and feel of this textured background is really AHmazing.....I have seen a few other projects and every one of them are gorgeous!  I think it's just one of those techniques that just creates beauty!

 

Thanks for falling in......

 

Oh and if you have noticed that my Blog List (perhaps with your Blog Link) has gone missing, you are correct.....I 'magically' got some back in place and will find the rest of you.  So if you noticed I haven't been commenting on your works of art, that is why.....I just check my list daily and head on over.  I hope to have this rectified soon.  Thanks for your patience!

CAS.....so not my thing.....

But I try......

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, Faux Torn Edge and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

I created my Faux Torn Edge using Daffodil Delight ink, nice and bright and sunshiny!  Then I stamped my flower images from the Warm Spring Wishes stamp set by Gina K Designs in Black Licorice ink.  Sentiment from her Fanciful Fall stamp set.  So clean and simple.

So of course I had to add something more........

 



 

 A few scored lines......a couple of Enamel Brads.......and some yellow craft paint splatters. 

 

Well at least it will be easy to mail lol

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

Happy World Card Making Day.....more to come!

Happy Halloween Splatters

Hello!

A cute little Fall/Halloween card to share with you today.

This will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, Splatter Matters, hosted by my BFF Judy Woodland (YUP she's all over the place!) and Simon Says Monday, Throwback.

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets Fanciful Fall and Heartfelt.  This is a different style fold card.  The front portion is only half the size of a regular card, creating a gate fold.....sort of.

When open it looks like this:

 

A little different, kind of cute.  The fence is a Cameo cut from black glitter paper.  Images are colored with Copic Markers.  Splatters created using orange craft paint and an old toothbrush.

 

Thanks for coming by.

Happy Thoughts

Good Afternoon!  What a beautiful New England Fall day!  I just love this time of year!!!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, Just Tear Your Paper and Stamping Sensations, Colours Of Autumn.

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Fanciful Fall, just perfect for this time of year!  Stamped the image and colored with Copic Markers and then I tore the bottom portion of the White card stock, then I cut a piece of Pumpkin Spice and tore that to match the white piece.

 

 

I added Antique Linen ink to the Brick Embossing Folder before running it through my Big Shot, it left a little hint of color behind to age the brick.  Sentiment was stamped on a piece of Vellum which was adhered to the back of the White card stock.  Enamel brad accent. 

 

Simple.  Striking. Splendid.

 

Thanks so much for bopping by, appreciate it when you do!

 

Enjoy~~



Boo Pumpkin!

Hello Again!  Trying to get all caught up in my posts, challenges and cards.  Hope you'll continue to join me!

My dear friend, Sharyn, is hosting the Challenge over at the Mod Squad Blog, Word Challenge, Holiday.  You may create ANY type of Holiday card, pretty cool!  This card will be entered there and also at My Favorite Things, Sketch Challenge, and at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.  How FUN!!!

I just love using their sketches, I find them very helpful!  You should also check them out, each Wednesday a new one is posted!

 

And here is my Halloween card:

 

 

Not too scary, just enough to let you know it is Halloween!  The stamps sets are, Fanciful Fall and Wicked, both by Gina K Designs.  What I really like about the pumpkin is the Jack-O-Lantern's face is a separate stamp, super cute!  Spellbinders Lacy and Classic Circle Dies, some Stickles, a wee bit of Washi Tape and 1 Adhesive Rhinestone.  I think the Sketch works well for this creation!

 

BOO!

 

Thanks for coming by!
