From The Top

Hello. 

Waffle flower has knocked it out of the park with this die.  It was released a while ago, but it is new to me.   It is just a fun new take on a pumpkin.  I used orange, green, and brown ink to sponge the edges of the die cuts to add more depth.   The sentiment is from Riley and co.   It just seemed like it was made for this die cut.

Masked Leaves

Hello, 

Isn't funny how techniques float in and off our crafty tables.   I haven't done this style of masking in years. but It seemed like a fun way to accent the leaves on this beautiful embossing folder by Stampin up.   To finish up the card I splattered the paper with gold watercolor.

Thankful Sorta Day ( 3 panel fun fold version 1)

Hello, 

This is just a real simple accordion fold but I had never made one.  A fellow friend stamper Debbi made a similar card and it inspired me to get it done.  I love the 3 panels.   I do feel like I fell short on using the middle panel.  I wish I had companion stamp to this Fall Winnie the pooh image.   I think I need to try this same format with different stamps... stay tuned more cards coming....

Copic colors:
Winnie: YR24, YR23, YR21
pumpkins: YR18, YR16, YR14, YR12  YR02, Y15, E13
Ground: W5, W3, W1

Fall some moments are gold


Happy Fall Greetings,  

I love playing with  color.   I saw this color combination on a sweatshirt of a stranger walking around town the other day.  I loved the way the purple played off the other yellow and the browish gold.    I made a mental note and couldn't wait to give it a try.  I wish I had a picture of her sweatshirt, but I think I captured it pretty well.   If you are going to try it at home I used Daffodil Delight from Stampin up.  Honey from TE and Plum from Gina K.   All the stamps are from Unity

Have a creative day friends

Can You Mail Me a Little Fall?

 Happy Fall Y'all! 
I can't believe summer is over.  Fall is the prettiest time of year, but I love summer.  Since... mother nature isn't taking suggestion for extending summer season, I'm doing my best to embrace the change.  This is one of my favorite stenciling sets.    I made a few different versions.  Do you have a favorite- large or small size?

Fall Turnabout

Hey, Hi, Hello there!   I'm so grateful you are here.   

Well that about sums up these cards.   Concord and 9th came out with a new turnabout stamp.  This one has a beautiful Fall them with mushrooms, leave, acorns, and flowers.   I created a 6x6 inch panel with the stamp so that I could create two cards.   It is hard to see but on the "Hey" card I used a spellbinders 3D harvest embossing folder.  It also features mushrooms, so they paired perfectly together.

Beautiful Trees

Hello friends, 

You can never have too many sentiments.  That should be the first rule of stamping (or at least in the top 3 right?)  The whole point of sending a card is to send a message of love, support, encouragement,  sympathy, or joy.   Pat the owner of Technique Junkies is a master of coming clever ways of finding the perfect words.  I love this new stamp set.  There are 6 different sentiments.  Each as perfect as the last.   I hope you will stop by and take a look.  They made some really beautiful Fall cards. 

Materials:

STAMPS: use code TJ10Chris to save 10%:

Thankful and Grateful

 Hello all, 

Guess who is behind on blog posts again?  Well.  What can I say.. I'm human.  

We made these cards back in November.    I used the pumpkin turnbout stamp to create the background.  If you never seen these.  They are awesome. Here is a video of a different turnabout.  I love the background they create.    I did struggle picking out colors for this one.  My first attempt used four different shades of orange.  I think I could have signaled the space station with it.  It was BRIGHT.  I decided to to switch two of the oranges out for a green and brown.  These are not colors that I think of when pumpkins. In the end I think it was the right choice.  These cards capture the beautiful Fall feeling.    What do you think?

Neenah: solar white card stock

Colors of Fall

Hello all, 


I can't get over how fast Fall is going.   Only a few leaves linger on the trees outside my window.     I picked up this stencil last fall, but it remains one of my favorite.   I wanted to try a couple of different things.   First I wanted to foil the panels.  I thought the gold would pop with all the fall colors.  Second, I wanted to try two different color of paper.  I used Toffee and White Cardstock.   I really like them both.  Do you have a favorite?

When the cards were all stenciled.  I felt they needed a little more gold, so I splattered them with Gold Watercolor.   This really pulled it all together.

Falling for Gnomes

 Hello friends. 

I've been stamping for over 25+ years( gosh is that hard to admit to myself).  It has been amazing journey watching all the trends over the years.  Things come and go out of style just like anything else.   The coolest thing is seeing the improvements in products.   When I started,  decorative scissors were the newest and coolest product... we have come a long way... check out the detail in these dies.  The details are just incredible. 

I may have gone a little nuts, but I was having a blast.  If you asked if I was a gnome person... I would have said no.  Then I saw this Fall Add on- Gnome set and I was in love.   I couldn't wait to pulled out some scrap paper and have a die cutting party.   It was so fun mixing and matching and creating cards.  The sunflower and the acorn hats just warm my heart.   (pst...Christmas gnomes are in the works!)

Materials:
Gnome Birthday Set-- has single gnome body in it.  You could just cut apart bodies in starter set to create cards. 

Ink:
Taylored Expression Ink Toffee or mini-  I used this to add some dimension to some of the die cuts
White gel pen:  Scrapbook or Amazon- optional


Paper:
Card Stock from Stampin Up

Glue:
Bearly Art Glue- Amazon or Taylored Expressions--best glue ever! especially for small places!
Tacky Glue (for big spaces)-
 





These stand up on a table or mantel as a little decoration.  I was thinking about making some into magnets.  What do you think?  Good idea or Bad idea?



I made a few variations.  Do you have a favorite?
