Loads of Fun - CTD763

Hi there! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge where we have some great new colors to create with!

Recently I purchased the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs alphabet dies and I’m going to try and make sure I actually use them. I thought they be fun to use with the Loads of Fun stamp set since I haven’t used it in quite a while and of course I had to add some mice.

Supplies: Loads of Fun stamp set & dies, Henry’s ABCs dies, Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps, copic markers, white gel pen, Dandy Day stamp set & dies (for mice), tumbled glass & faded jeans distress oxide ink, Everyday Sentiment Banners, Doodlebug patterned paper for paper piecing, Night of navy & dark gray card stock, foam tape & glossy accents for bubbles.

Peek-A-Boo - Hello Bluebird

Hello, hello! Last Friday was the Hello Bluebird mini fall release and I was excited to be joining the talented design team in creating cards using the adorable new products!

All of my cards were shared over on my Instagram account were I do share more of my cards but today my card features the cute Peek-a-Boo stamp set and dies.

To create my card, I used stamped some of the images from the Peek-a-Boo  set, die cut them out and colored them using copic markers. Next I used the Nesting Deckle dies and die cut a piece of white card stock which I blended with tumbled glass and brushed corduroy distress oxide ink and then added some watered down splatters of vintage photo ink along the bottom.

Once that was done, I stamped my sentiment along the top and added my images popping up the fox and the two small pumpkins using foam tape and adhered my panel to a piece of Doodlebug orange gingham paper.

Fall Mug Additions - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello, hello! Today I’m sharing a card that features the new Fall Mug Additions dies from the latest Pretty Pink Posh release.

These new Fall Mug Additions dies coordinate so well with the previous mug dies and make it so fun to create and mix the different die sets together to make a card. For my card today I used the original Winter Mug dies (the mug & coffee) along with the Valentine Mug Additions dies (the spoon & whip) and the latest Fall Mug dies (the scarf, acorn & leaf).

To create my card I die cut the mug from pumpkin pie card stock and blended around the edges with some cajun craze ink and added the coffee and the dollop of whip which I blended on some antique linen distress ink around the edges and added a fall leaf with some copic marker blending. After that I die cut the scarf from teal card stock and blended on some pine needles distress ink. I die cut the spoon from light gray card stock and blended on some hickory smoke distress ink. The little acorn was die cut from kraft and chocolate chip card stock and I used some brushed corduroy distress ink. After that I used the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set for my sentiment and the Stitched Torn Rectangles dies and adhered my pieces, popping up the mug and acorn with foam tape. For my background, I used the new Deco Leaves stencil on some real rust card stock with some cajun craze ink.

Fall Jar - Pretty Pink Posh

Hi there! I hope you’re having a good day! I’m popping in with a card that features the Fall Jar stamp set from this month’s Pretty Pink Posh release.

To create my card, I stamped the images from the Fall Jar stamp set, then die cut them out using the Fall Jar dies and colored them using copic markers. Once that was done, I adhered my images, popping up the sunflower, acorn and butterfly with foam tape, to a white rectangle which I had blended on some wild honey along the bottom. I matted my white card stock panel with a piece of chocolate chip card stock and I also used the stitched frame from the Fancy Cake dies to die cut some chocolate chip card stock for around the outer edge. For my background I used a piece of brown plaid and polka dot paper.
