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.

Fall Mug Additions - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a card that features the new Pretty Pink Posh Fall Mug Additions dies from this months new release.

To create my card, I started out by using the Winter Mug dies to die cut the mug from gray card stock and the coffee inside the mug from kraft card stock. Next I used the new Fall Mug Additions dies to die cut the sunflower from daffodil and chocolate chip card stock and the leaves from lucky limeade, the fox and mushroom from cream, red, cajun craze and black card stock and the cinnamon stick and fall leaf from real rust. I also used the Valentine Mug Additions dies to die cut the dollop of whip.

Once all of my pieces were die cut from the different colored card stock, I used distress oxide inks to add shading. For the mug I used black soot, for the fox and whip I used antique linen, for the cinnamon stick I used vintage photo. On the I used carved pumpkin in the center and lucky clover on the leaves. The fall leaf I used ripe persimmon and the mushroom I used antique linen and fired brick.

For the background I used a piece of cajun craze card stock and used the new Deco Leaves stencil. I used the new Stitched Torn Rectangle dies with cream card stock as a base for all of my die cut pieces and sentiment which I die cut from chocolate chip card stock.

Pretty Pink Posh September Release

Hello there, crafty friends! Today I’m excited to be joining a group of talented designers to showcase the fun new fall products from this month’s Pretty Pink Posh release! The products from this month’s Pretty Pink Posh release are full of fall and thanksgiving goodness and I just know you’re going to love it! The new Pretty Pink Posh release with be available on September 12th so be sure to mark your calendar!

For my project, I used the new Autumn Pumpkins stamp set and Autumn Pumpkins dies along with the Scallop Box Card dies to create a three dimensional fall card. This is such a pretty and versatile pumpkin set where the images could be used individually or in a grouping to create a scene.

To create my autumn greetings card, I used some kraft card stock and the Scallop Box Card dies to create the base and some cream card stock for the scallop pieces. Next I used the new Layered Fall Wreath Stencil along with some distress oxide inks (carved pumpkin, ripe persimmon, fired brick, brushed corduroy, vintage photo, ground espresso, peeled paint and seedless preserves) and stenciled the cream card stock pieces and then brushed the edges with antique linen distress oxide ink.

Once my Scallop Box Card was assembled, I stamped several of the pumpkin images as well as the sentiment from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set, die cut them and colored them using copic markers. Starting from the back of my card, I added the largest of the pumpkin images and the smaller to the front and then adhered the sentiment with foam tape to the front panel.

Hollyhocks Anniversary - CTD758

Hi there! I’m hostess over at the Color Throwdown Challenge for this week and I chose the colors pink, green, magenta and white for us to create with. I can’t wait to see what you create using these colors!

For my card I used The Greetery’s Hollyhock BotaniCuts dies to create an anniversary card. I started out by die cutting the leaves in mellow moss and the flowers in white, pink pirouette and raspberry fizz card stock and then using peeled paint, scattered straw and spun sugar distress oxide ink along with some Altenew razzleberry and Pinkalicious ink to blend on each die cut piece. I also blended some spun sugar distress ink on the background of my white card base. I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set, Think Big Favorites for my sentiment which I stamped onto a strip of raspberry fizz card stock for along the bottom of my card. As a finishing touch, in the center of each flower I added some yellow Stickles glitter.

Fresh Berries

Hello, crafty friends! Today I have a card that features the new Fresh Berries stamp set and dies from Pretty Pink Posh. This is such a fun set with all of the different berries, berry basket and sentiments.

I used just the strawberries from the set along with the leaves, berry basket, flowers and the die cut sentiment. I also used the strawberry stencil for my background and for me I think my card is a tad too busy. I tried to anchor my images by using a strip of red card stock down the middle but I think the next time I used this stencil I’ll use it on a colored piece of card stock so my images pop a little more. Along with the Fresh Berries set I used the Pretty Pink Posh Bee Friends set. I colored all of my images using copic markers and used foam tape to pop up the two bees and the flower on the basket.

Lemon Cupcakes

Hello there! You may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been blogging/card making very much over the last few months. The reason being is that our youngest son has had some serious health issues and our family has been under a lot of stress. Needless to say that right now things are stable and I’ve got the bug to create again so today I’m sharing a mini slimline card that features the Lawn Fawn Cupcake dies for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #152 Fun with Food. 

Since I love the cute Zesty Lemon dies my friend purchase for me, I decided to create a lemon cupcake birthday card. Along with the lemon dies and Stitched Cupcake dies, I used the Scripty Sweet die and the Happy, Happy, Happy stamp set for my sentiment as well as the distress oxide inks in wild honey, carved pumpkin, worn lipstick and lucky clover.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
