Thankful Painted Harvest


I love this set.  It is new in the 2017 Holiday catalog beginning Sept. 1st.
It called Painted Harvest and it has a matching leaf punch you can 
buy as a bundle.  The leaf punch is something that can be used with so many other 
sets and projects especially in the fall. I used it differently here 
by punching the same color as my base and layering on it
for a paper embossed look.  I stamped the 
sunflower in Daffodil Delight and then the second
step with Crushed Curry.  The middle with Fresh Fig and the 
two steps of leaves in Old Olive. The sentiment is my fav and 
I stamped it in Fresh fig. Fast and simple....in fact I designed this 
card along with 5 others you will see over the next several days in
under an hour with a few supplies I had taken with me out of town.
Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Coffee Cafe Bags For Class


I made these bags for my guest in class to carry their cards home this month.
I bought the craft bags at Michael's and then I cut the circles in 
Garden Green and Whisper White.  I stamped the textured 
coffee cup , lid and the sentiment on Whisper White and cut them out with the matching dies.
I also used those dies to cut the Soft Suede paper sleeve.
I layered some burlap ribbon behind for some more texture and natural look.
Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Flamingo Friend!


I have been trying to find a moment to use my Marbled 
background stamp and finally decided to ink it 
up along with the Fabulous Flamingo set.
I stamped the Marbled stamp in Tranquil Tide on Whisper White
card stock and the layered it on a thick Whisper White base.
I added Calypso Coral card stock and some Tranquil Tide ribbon
before popping up my flamingo image.
I stamp the flamingo in Calypso Coral and then Basic Black. 
I added the sentiment from the set in Tranquil Tide ink and cut it all
out with a Layering Circle framelit die.  I added some stars from
the Subtles enamel shapes (never seem to use the stars).

Hope you have a Fab Tuesday!
Thanks for stopping by!

TTTC009 Thankful For You



I decided to go with the center row down with sequins, distressed inks and stencil.
I pulled out a mask to do the stencil and sponged on 
Lemon Lime Twist ink.
 I then sponged around the edges of the white card stock as well.
I layered it on a piece of Basic Black and then a piece of thick Whisper White card stock 
for the base after wrapping some black twine around.
 I added the black sequins and then I decided to pull a new sentiment
 from the Painter Harvest set which will be in the holiday catalog on September 1st, 2017. 
It fit just right inside the Pretty Label punch. 
I hope you can play along with the tictactoechallenge.com this week!

Happy Eclectic Birthday!


Well, the last card for class this week is with the Oh So Eclectic set.
I used a Berry Burst base and layered it with a piece of Whisper White
that I cut with the Eclectic Layers dies and placed some 
Naturally Eclectic DSP behind the cut out.
I stamped the flowers and a leaf on Whisper White card stock
and cut them and a few more leaves from Emerald Envy card stock. 
I stamped the flowers with first Berry Burst and then with Night of Navy.
I colored a bit of the stem of top flower with a Emerald Envy marker
 and the center of the bottom flower with a Lemon Lime Twist marker. 
The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy and I finished
off with a Berry Burst crinkled ribbon bow. 
Hope you have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Thank Goodness


I have designed this card as the fourth for card class next week.
I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the 
Burlap background stamp in crumb Cake ink.  I placed it on
a Crumb Cake base.
I stamped the sentiment on a Very Vanilla 
oval in Chocolate Chip and and the shell in Crumb Cake and Pool Party.
I cut a stitched oval in Pool Party and layered on Burlap background.
I finished it off with some linen thread across the card.

I hope you have a lovely Saturday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Life Happens


This is my third card for classes next week!
I could not decide whether to do a hot cup or cold latte
for the class card with the Coffee Cafe bundle.
I finally decided it was summer and go cold.
I stamped the cup with Early Espresso ink on Soft Suede card stock.
I cut it with the matching dies.  I added the paper sleeve
cut from the same dies in Crumb Cake. I stamped the whip cream
in Soft Sky and stamped the straw in both 
Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz.  These are also cut with the matching dies called
Coffee Cups framelits dies. I stamped the heart from
Wood Words and cut it with a matching die from Wood Crate. 
I layered it on a Pear Pizzazz circle.
I decided to do this layout so the guest could 
pick a sentiment even Happy Birthday to put on their card.
I layered some Coffee Break DSP with some Soft Sky and Early Espresso
card stock and place on a Pear Pizzaazz card base.
It is all finished off with some Crumb Cake ribbon across the card.

I really like the colors and this suite!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
