Hi Cutie Pie - CTD520

Hello! It’s time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge. For this week’s challenge we have some great earth tone colors to create with.
 For my card, I used a combination of different Lawn Fawn stamps to create a circle shaped card for the Lawn Fawnatics current challenge. I started out by stamping the pie image from the Cutie Pie set and die cutting it out using the Cutie Pie die. Next I stamped the squirrels from the Pick of the Patch set and used the Pick of the Patch dies to die cut them out. And then the three apples from the Thanks a Bushel set and dies. After that I colored all of the images using copic markers and added foam tape to the back of the squirrels. I stamped my Cutie Pie sentiment on to a kraft colored banner that I die cut using the Fancy Folded Banners. I die cut my circle card base from chocolate chip card stock, then I die cut some simply chartreuse card stock using a scallop circle die and added foam tape to the back and adhered that to my circle card base. I used some cream yard stock and die cut a circle then added some Doodlebug kraft gingham paper for along the bottom which I die cut using the Stitched Hillside Borders die.

Frosty Friends - CTD519

Hello and Happy Wednesday! Today starts a new Color Throwdown Challenge and we have some fantastic colors that are perfect for the holiday season.

 
I used this week’s CTD colors and the Hello Bluebird stamp set Frosty Friends along with the Frosty Friends dies to create a set of Christmas tags. To create my tags, I stamped a bunch of the images from the Frosty Friends set and colored them with Copic markers and then die cut them out. Next I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags die and die cut three tags from red cardstock and then three white cardstock circles. I used the little snowflake stamps from the set and some aqua mist ink to stamp the upper portion of each white circle and used some Pixie Dust sparkle cardstock and the Stitched Hillside Borders for along the bottom of the circles for my snow. After that, I adhered my images, popping up the snowmen and small gift with foam tape and added white gel pen and glitter to some of the images then tied on some ribbon and Christmas bakers twine.

So Thankful that we’re Friends - CTD518

Hello, hello! I’m hostess this week over at the Color Throwdown blog and I’ve chosen some cozy fall colors for all of us to create with. I hope you’ll join in and play along. Before I get to my card, I’d like to welcome this month’s guest designer, Caly Person.
For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Thanks a Latte along with the Thanks a Latte dies. Who doesn’t like a big mug of coffee with a piece of pumpkin pie? I know I do especially after cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. I started out by stamping the mug and leaf images from the Thanks a Latte set, then stamped the slice of pie from the retired Happy Feast set (which I cut out by hand), then the spoon and plate from the Love You a Latte set and the pumpkins from the Happy Harvest set. I stamped all of my images and colored them with Copic markers then die cut them out. I stamped my sentiment from the Jump for Joy set onto a piece of kraft cardstock which I had blended on some cocoa ink along the edges. I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies with some Doodlebug orange gingham paper and some Perfectly Plaid Fall paper
