PP368 Blended Leaves For Fall

I just happen to sit down a few nights ago and stamped several 

images I want to color with the new Stampin' Blends markers.

I stamped these leaves from Color Seasons in Memento Tuxedo Black and

colored the first in Cherry Cobbler, the second in Pumpkin Pie,

and the third in Old Olive.  I took the color lifter to the middle of each leaf

to lighten the center.

I was not sure what I would do with them or if I would use together.

Then I saw this challenge and it was a perfect fit!

I went diagonal with Fall, Dies, Gold.

I used the sentiment from Merry Cafe stamped in Pumpkin Pie 

and layered on a banner of gold foil.

 I added a gold metallic enamel shape for some more bling.

I wanted a background for the leaves but I did not want to water color, 

and I thought the burlap background would be heavy and I wanted some color

to it so not just emboss the paper.

I grabbed my gold Encore ink pad and a baby wipe and 

dabbed the in on the white paper lightly. 

It did make a cool effect. 

 Maybe what the wind looks like when blowing...that might be a sketch!

Thanks For Everything!

I designed this card and made 20 of them

for a friend who was giving them to her employees with a their bonus.

I cut the thick Whisper White card stock base at 6" by 6 1/2" 

and score the 6' side at 3" to make a 3" by 6 1/2" card so it would hold money.

I used the Naturally Eclectic DSP with the some Night of Navy behind. 

I stamped the sentiment from All Things Thanks on white and cut it out 

along with a Navy oval with the Layering Oval framelits dies.  

I added some Emerald Envy leaves punched out with the useful leaf punch.

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

FabFri124 Hello Fall & Pumpkins!

That is a whole lot of orange which is my least fav color.

But luckily, I love purple and I let the Fresh Fig 

stand out more with the two oranges accenting. 

I stamped the large pumpkin from 

Pick a Pumpkin set in Tangerine Tango and the other two in 

Pumpkin Pie. I cut them out along with the Fresh Fig leaves and pumpkin 

with matching does called Patterned Pumpkins.

I layered them all on a white oval which I placed over the awesome 

Burlap background stamped on a piece of white in Fresh Fig.

I layered those on Fresh Fig card stock with a Tangerine Tango base.

I added the sentiment from Merry Cafe on a banner and added a 

Pumpkin Pie enamel shape. 

I love the background's texture!

TTTC021 Petal Garden Love

Well, I had to go purple since it is my fav color!
However, I was not in the mood for butterflies so
I grabbed some DSP I knew had both Fresh Fig and
Sweet Sugarplum and designed from there.
I went for the middle row across with purple, free and sequins.
I used the large sentiment from Lots of Love stamped in
fresh Fig and cut with the Layering Oval dies.
I layered it on a piece of  Petal Garden DSP and some
Fresh Fig finely woven ribbon.  I like the bit of Calypso Coral,
it makes it fells more fall..maybe?
I place it all a Fresh Fig base and added some retired sequins
 from the Fancy Frost sequin pack from last holiday catty in
Sweet Sugarplum.

FMS310 Plaid Merry Patterns

I have been wanting to use this set called Merry Patterns more so 

I knew when I saw the sketch challenge I would make it work!

I stamped the candles in Memento Tuxedo Black and then

stamped over with the patterns inside in Real Red.

I used both the Crushed Curry and Peekaboo Peach markers

 for the flames.

I cut the images with sentiment out with the stitched shapes framelits

in Very Vanilla. I layered it on a rectangle of Real Red.

I then added some plaid from Christmas Around the World DSP on

a Basic Black. I then thought of what to add beside 

the image and then thought about some of the extra 

Old Olive pines and a Natural gold bow in my scraps. 

I also added a gold year of cheer embellishment as well to finish it off.

PP367 Give Thanks

I went autumn with this sketch from 

thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

I grabbed the Painted Autumn DSP and pilled colors from there.

I used a thick Very Vanilla base and added a 

piece of Cajun Craze embossed with the Layered Leaves 

3D emboss folder. I added the Painted Autumn DSP strip down on the side.

I stamped the sentiment from Labels to Love set which I cut with a circle die.

I added behind a stamp from the same set which matching the 

Everyday Label punch.  I the sentiment and the label in Cajun Craze.

The label on Soft Sky pulling the color from the DSP.

I a layered a Very Vanilla oval behind those.

I had some copper foil leaves cut on my desk from the 

Seasonal Layers thinlits dies so grabbed one and a cooper tim

bow also leftover.

It just needed something more so I took more Soft Sky card stock and 

the Patterned Pumpkins dies for the leaves/stems things (not sure what they are)

It added some burlap trim behind the oval as I layered it all on.

I really like all the texture on this card!

Blended Beach Houses

I have been wanting to stamp these beach houses from the 

Beachy Little Christmas set all in a row and color.

I used the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers 

which will be available to all on November 1st. 

I grabbed the Pool Party, Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Daffoldil Delight

Stampin' Blends for the coloring. 

I layered these on a piece of Calypso Coral embossed 

with the Pinewood Planks emboss folder. 

The sentiment is from Colorful Season on a banner. I finished it off with 

some linen thread and a Pool Party base.

I need to stamp and color some more!

TTTC020 Peace, Joy, Love

I played the first column down with Peace, Metallic Thread and White.

I decided on the Musical Season set for the peace sentiment and 

the Merry Music DSP for the white.  I stamped the drummer in Memento 

Tuxedo Black and cut him out with the matching die.

While looking through my basket of scraps to see if I had a black circle

already cut, I saw the discarded drummer I stamped in Smoky Slate 

on Smoky Slate but did not use. 

 I thought he needed to be a shadow for this card!

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark on Basic Black and heat embossed 

it with white emboss powder.

I thoght I had silver thread but could not find it but just as well 

because I think it would not have shown up.

I used gold metallic thread behind the circle.

I layered the background DSP onto apiece of black and then 

thick Whisper White for the base.

FMS309 & Bandit Inspiration Challenge

I thought my new Hug In A Mug stamp set would be great for the  Freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com sketch challenge.

Then when I saw the inspiration photo from my 

stamping group, The Pretty Pals, I had to grab the stripe 

Real Red DSP from Christmas Around the World. 

I like the stripes along with the red, green and brown in the photo.

I stamped the mug in Chocolate Chip and the sentiment in Real Red.

I cut it with the Layering Circles and then layered 

it with a Garden Green stitched circle. 

I added some Chocolate Chip card stock and the 1/8" Real Red

ribbon and bow.

I was going to do another circle when I thought about the wooden shapes

and there was the heart looking perfect for this sketch!

I think anything is cute with red stripes!

GDP109 To Think Of You

I decided to channel my inner Brian King , my friend 

from over at stampwithbrian

He took this DSP from Merry Little Christmas DSP

and colored it with the new Stampin' Blends coming to all soon.

He used Pool Party but I went with the Old Olive using both the 

dark and the light colors.

I then stamped the sentiment from Eastern Beauty 

 in Memento Tuxedo black on a white circle,

 layered a Basic Black scallop circle then layered on a gold circle

to finish up on a Pretty label cut with Old Olive.

I ran some 1/8" gold ribbon across then added 

gold foil leaves from the leaf punch.

The finish it up with some Year of Cheer embellishments in gold.

FabFri123 Lighthouse Birthday

I needed a birthday card for friend of mine this week

 and I knew the lighthouse would be awesome.  So glad it 

fit into my FabFri sketch challenge this week!

I went with a Tranquil Tide, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake

color combo (with a small So Saffron sun).

added some Tranquil Tide card stock behind and some linen thread

for texture!

Celebrate the Season Bags for Class

I bought the red bags at the dollar store.

I knew this sentiment and DSP would go so well together.

I really wanted to fit the foil snowflakes in but was not sure if they 

would show up well.

I decided to add a red circle behind, stamp the sentiment from

Tags & Trimmings stamp set and cut it out with 

the Stitched Shapes framelits dies and then add a banner of Garden Garden

to make it pop.

These will be happy bags for my guest to carry their October

Christmas cards.

TTTC019 Autumn Greetings

Was not sure I was going to fit this challenge in this week
before the deadline but I am glad I did!
I decided to go Green, Gold, Autumn with the diagonal row.
This card has a few greens with Old Olive and Lemon Lime Twist.
I started with the Painted Autumn DSP because it has those
 few shades of green in it. I then cut the lantern with gold foil.
I filled it with gourds and pine cones. I stamped the leaves in Old Olive
and filled them in LLT.  I stamped the gourds in Tangerine Tango and
filled them in with Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the pine comes in Chocolate Chip
as well as the bow which was filled in with Tangerine.
All were cut with the matching Lantern Builder framelits dies.
I stamped the Autumn sentiment in Chocolate on Very Vanilla
and added some Tangerine card stock behind.
I decided for a different look I would run the Vanilla piece down the center
in hopes the lantern would look like it was hanging!

A few gold metallic shapes finished it off!

Merry Monday 261 Ready For Sharing Christmas

Cute card for my last Christmas card for October class!

I decided it had to have the dog, the table with cookies and the tree.

I got it all in plus lot of ornaments!

I stamped the tree in Emerald Envy and added a Daffodil Delight star punched out

with a retired mini star punch.

I stamped the ornaments, dog, and cookies in Memento Tuxedo Black

and colored them with markers-Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake,

Emerald Envy.

I stamped the table on Chocolate Chip with the black ink.

I used a sentiment from the set in Real Red but a sweet Merry Christmas 

or Season's Greetings would be nice, too!

What a cute scene with the Ready For Christmas bundle!

Red, White and Black Musical Season

I love this 4th card for card class this month!

Black, White, Red...really pops!

I started with the background paper from Merry Music 

Specialty DSP.

I layered that on white piece and a Real Red base. 

I then stamped the two instruments in Memento Tuxedo Black

 and cut them with the matching dies.  I layered them on the 

stitched circle and then stamped the drummer in Real Red and die cut him.

I love that he is the focus and then he need a little bling

with black rhinestones.

Sugarplum Dreams

I love nutcrackers!  My son has a very large nutcracker 

collection that takes up a large buffet top during the holiday season.

So I was excited to get this set and water color the nutcracker!

I stamped him on water color paper in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I used Real Red, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Garden Green and Crushed Curry.

I layered on Basic black then added the wonderful plaid from

Around The World DSP also layered on black.

I used a piece of Crumb Cake ran through my new emboss folder called 

Quilt Top textured emboss folder.

I really like the texture and the pop on a Basic Black base.

Love the sentiment an the font which ran all the way across the card 

on Very Vanilla with some Real Red card stock.

Second card for my Christmas card class.

There are so many awesome designs for this set and matching dies.

I started with the beautiful card I saw on Pinterest from 

Stephanie Pike in Australia. I did a lot of casing of her card. 

I especially love the Bermuda Bay with the copper foil!

I used a copper foil banner behind the square

which gives lots of room for stamping!

I cut a white star and then a copper detailed star. More stamping 

in the Bermuda Bay on the back ground piece which is layered

on a Bermuda Bay base.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

I added some of the Be Merry DSP to the bottom using the 

reindeer pattern. I added the Cherry Cobbler stitched ribbon around the 

middle then layered it all on a Garden Green base.

I really wanted to use this sentiment...love the size and font!

I stamped the sentiment on Cherry Cobbler and the accent at

Just a fun card!

Daisy Birthday Box

I made another mini pizza box for my step mom's birthday day. 

I am placing a gift card and a mini card inside.

These come in a pack of 8 for 6.00. Great deal but they are white all over.

I spritzed the box with my spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol and 

Night of Navy ink. It came out light so it looks purple like I like it!

I layered the Delightful Daisy DSP on top in two prints.

I stamped the daisy in Peekaboo Peach then took my aqua painter 

and washed some of the same color over it.

I stamped two of them and layered together and finished it off with 

a gold faceted gem in the center.

I cut the leaves from the Bouquet Bunch framelits dies

 in two greens- Wild Washi and Garden Green.

A Season Of Cheer

I am playing with a sketch for my stamping group, 

The Pretty Pals. 

I wanted to use the foil snowflake so that is what

 I jumped the colors and sketch.  

I added some Year Of Cheer specialty DSP across the top of the 

thick Whisper White card base.

I added a black square so you can see the gold snowflake really well.

I used my Year Of Cheer washi tape for the banners at bottom.

I just received the Snowflake Sentiments set and I used this sentiment in Black

over a snowflake from the set in Soft Sky.

I punched it out with my 1 3/4" circle punch.

It needed something else....oh black rhinestones would be perfect!

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Deck The Halls In Bright Colors

I decided to not only go fancy on this card but use some 

non traditional colors.  Thought the bright green/yellow shade is 

being used more and more in Christmas decor!

I used Lemon Lime Twist(LLT)and Berry Burst- a color combo I really

love together. I used markers the do the sentiment

in the two colors.

It does not look very sharp but more water color and I like that.

I layered those squares together on a piece of Whisper White that I cut 

with the Card Front Builder thinlits. 

I layered some LLT behind to show through. I was crazy

and stamped the flowers and hand snipped them all out.

I finished it off with a Bitty Bow in LLT.

I already thought of who I will send this to for Christmas.

Hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

I then thought why not grab my fav color-purple!

I did and Old Olive always works with it so there is my color combo!

I stamped the sentiment and then layered the square on a

 Elegant Eggplant scalloped square.

I used makers to ink up the ornaments and string.

The sting in Elegant Eggplant altering the ornament with each color.

I die cut a few and popped them up. I stamped the holly

Special 3D For You

This is my 3D swap for WCMD 2017. I used the new 

mini pizza box from the holiday catalog. 

It comes white all over and I colored the outside purple-my fav color.

I first spritzed the box with my spritzer filled with 

rubbing alcohol and drops of Elegant Eggplant.  

But it came out really light so I then I grabbed my 

sponge brayer and rolled on the same ink. Worked really well.

I then layered a piece of the Year of Cheer specialty DSP and 

then 1/8" ribbon in both gold and silver. 

I layered two of the metallic foil snowflakes on top. 

It comes with 12 in gold and 12 in silver with the backs side in white which can be colored.

I added a gold faceted gem to the center.I wanted to add a tag tag but did not want to 

take away from the lovely foil snowflakes.

Inside is a Starbucks gift card to enjoy!

Hope you have a blessed Sunday!

World Card Making Day 2017 and Hello Baby Showers

Happy World Card Making Day 2017

I am in Atlanta at an event I have attended the last several years

with my fellow demos and Pretty Pals.

I will share more later but go make 

a card for someone special today!

Here is my second card for my friend and customer 

who asked me to make baby shower cards for her daughter.

This is the same Moon baby set but with different images and 

sentiments. I started with Pool Party for the base and top layer 

which I cut with the clouds from Up & Away thinlits dies.

I added one of those cut clouds on the project as well as a

 few I cut with silver glimmer paper.

 I water colored the umbrella in Smoky Slate and the baby 

with Pool Party and Blushing Bride.

Love the sentiments in this set and used two on the front this time.

I hope you have a wonderful World Card Making Day!

I was asked by a friend and customer to make a couple of baby cards 

for her daughter's first and second baby showers this month.

I do not own baby sets really and go about 3-4 years in between making them.

I did keep the Zoo Babies set after it retired to use if I needed one.

However, another customer offered for me to borrow her Moon Baby set which

is really cute to make the cards.

Here is the first one I cased some from Michelle Miles  I started 

with a Whisper White base and layered the Crumb Cake embossed with the 

Stars emboss folder. I stamped the baby/moon image in 

Memento Tuxedo Black and watercolored it 

the aqua painter using Daffodil Delight,

Marina Mist, and Blushing Bride inks.

I stamped the sentiment on the stitched circle and the 

rest of the sentiment inside the card here:

I finished it with some Daffodil Delight stars punched

out with a retired punch. I added a silver glimmer paper star for the bling!

GDP107 Thankful Grateful Blessed

I wanted something simple and I keep grabbing the copper foil.

I have been trying to remember to the use my 

Year of Cheer specialty washi tape.  I grabbed it 

to sketch across the card. I cut some copper leaves from the 

Paisley framelits dies. I heat embossed in copper

 the sentiment from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set.

I cut it with the Layering Ovals. 

I then thought of the Wood Textures DSP but had hard time choosing

which wood. I finally settled on this print

 and layered it on a Crumb Cake base.

Head over to global-design-project.com to play along 

with the theme challenge this week.

I started this card with the flower.

I stamped the sunflower from Painted Harvest set

in Cherry Cobbler and the center in Soft Suede.

I added some dots to the center in Chocolate Chip.

I hand snipped it along with a few leaves stamped 

in Old Olive. I stamped the other leaves in same color

and punched them with the matching leaf punch.

For the background, I used the embossing paste

and colored it with Cajun Craze ink. I used the 

brick wall stencil on Very Vanilla card stock.

All was layered on a Cajun Craze base.

I can use it for any occasion this fall.
