Autumn Tree

Happy Tuesday!

On the Great Impressions Blog today!

I made this fabulous Fall card using the Great Impressions Stamp  H233 Autumn Tree.

 

 

I stamped the image and then cut it out using an MFT Vertical Frame die.  Taking several Fall colors of Copic Markers I added color to the leaves to mimic the beautiful New England Foliage we typically experience.  The jury is still out if we will get our pretty colors this year as our summer was so dry.

 

I also added a handful of Adhesive Rhinestones in the Fall colors to add some pizazz!  A bit of shear ribbon for accent and my card was complete.

 

There's still plenty of time for you to join in on our Monthly Challenge, For The Kids.  And when you use your Great Impressions Stamps feel free to link up your creation into our Customer Gallery.

 

Thanks so much for dropping by, we love it when you do!

Pretty Halloween Pumpkins

Good Afternoon!

I have a Halloween card to share with you, and its not your typical Halloween card. 

This will be entered into the Challenges at Curtain Call, Pretty Pumpkins and Dies R Us, Ghoul Friends/Halloween.

 

 

I loved the Inspirational Photo, so pretty!  I decided to paper piece my pretty pumpkins in coordinating colors and prints.  The black and white stripe frame is Washi Tape.  I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Heartfelt and Wicked.

 



 

 

 

Spellbinders Fanciful Lattice die and MFT Traditional Stitched Tags die (yes, they are my FAVORITE!!!).  Chevrons Embossing Folder to add some texture and the tag is topped off with ribbon and twine.

 

It's Halloween, yet not scary....well except for that BOO!  lol

 

Thanks so much for dropping by my pumpkin patch.

Gift Card Holder

Hello!  Short little post with a Gift Card Holder.

This will be entered into the MFT Challenges; Sketch and Color.

 

 

 

 

I used the MFT products; Martinis On Me stamp set, Blueprints #12 and Stitched Traditional Tags dies as well as a Penny Black Heart String Die.  Once I saw the Sketch I knew I could make this in to a Gift Card Holder, it worked perfectly!

 

All of the plaid Designer Papers make this quite masculine, even with the heart strings.  The hardest thing about this is, WHO do we give it to?  It is to one of our favorite watering holes here in town.  ;)

 

Thanks so much for dropping in.  Happy Monday!

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!

Water Color & Sparkles

Good Friday Morning!  YAY!

Today's creation will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Wonderful Water Color.

 

I used the Great Impressions Stamp, E880 Sparkle.....kind of love it!  I  made my water color background using several different inks and then cut it out with Spellbinders Labels 8 die.  I also used the MFT Fancy Flourish die to cut a stencil out of chipboard so I could lay down a line of glue and douse it in Dazzling Diamonds.  So easy!  

 

 

A generous toss of 'random' sequins--you know how I agonize over their 'random' placement  lol  And the card was done. 

 

One might even call this CAS....ha!  (the struggle is real people!)

 

Thanks so much for popping in!  I am on my way to my daughter's for a fun overnighter--YAY!

 

Enjoy~~



Merry Tree Tag

Good Afternoon! 

Just a short little post with a sweet little tag to share with you today!

I made this to enter into the Papertrey Ink Challenge, Create Along With Us for October 2015.

I was inspired by Maile Belles' Christmas Tags. 

 

 

I used Papertrey Ink's Polka Dot Parade #9 stamps and dies.  Stamped in green inks.  MFT Fancy Flourish and Traditional Stitched Tag dies.  Washi Tape, Enamel Dot and Green Holiday Twine for accents.  Kraft card stock.

 

Love the rustic flavor of this sweet little tag.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Potted Puppy

Good Morning, Happy Tuesday! 

On The Great Impressions Blog Today!

Made this cute little Hello Card using the fantastic Great Impressions Stamp F582 Potted Puppy.  He is just the cutest little puppy!

Stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers, keeping in mind a Fall flavor.  I love this time of year!  Beautiful warm days, cool nights, and still no tourists.

 

Spellbinders Captivating Squares and Swoosh Hello die from Papertrey Ink.  4 white corner tabs punched as well.  Flowers have a hint of Sakura Glitter Pens and Adhesive Rhinestones for accents.  

 

He's just adorable and reminds me of my daughter's little Hankie Doodle.  :)

This card will also be entered into the Challenges at Stamping Sensations, Colours Of Autumn and Penny Black, Warm Autumn Colours.
