Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Blooms

Don't you just love the colors of Autumn?! I do! And I love coloring floral images with yellow and orange to make a fall bouquet!

I stamped out one of the bouquets from the Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Blooms stamp set and used Copic markers to color in the image. I used R08, YR09, and YR07 for the orange flower. The yellow flower I used YR04, Y17, and Y15. The leaves are BG78 and BG75 and the brown sprigs are E79 and E74.

I cut out a few of my favorite patterns from the Lawn Fawn Fall Knit Picky paper pad with stitched dies and adhered them to a card front. I trimmed out my colored bouquet and added it to the stitched oval with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Beautiful Autumn stamp set onto a strip of patterned paper with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and added it on top of my bouquet.

I added a bit of shimmer to my bouquet with Liquid Pixie Dust to finish the card! Thanks for stopping by today!

I used the Cardinal Seasons stamp set to create a masked one layer card - and I took advantage of the new coordinating Petal Pusher dies! 

I wanted to build a little mini "scene" and it was easiest for me to start at the bottom with my sentiment so that I could be sure I didn't run out of room. After that I continued working from the bottom to the top stamping my images and masking along the way. I stamped the branch, masked it off, stamped the birdhouse, masked it off, and then finished with the birds. Then it was time for the details! I added the pine needles, stamped the heart in the birdhouse, and colored the scarf on the cardinal. I used some light blue ink and a blending tool to add "blobs" of color to mimic the look of clouds in the background. 

Now for the finishing touch! The Cardinal Seasons Petal Pusher Dies has a special die that cuts out just the bottom and sides of the wings leaving the top attached, so you can lift - or push - the wings up off the card! So so so so so cool! Now it's time to comment on this blog post and the rest of the blogs in the hop to win a giftcard! Good luck!

Penguins All Lined Up

Hi, there! I created a clean and simple stenciled card today using the Penguin Agenda stamp set from Penguin Palace!

I stamped and colored 6 little penguins from the Penguin Agenda stamp set. To keep things simple and cohesive I only used two color combos and colored three penguins for each color. I used the Penguin Agenda Penguin Perfect Cuts and die cut each of the little cuties.

They needed a background, so I stenciled on some ink over a striped stencil and added the penguins in a line with foam squares so that it looked like they are holding hands. So cute, right?! I stamped a happy birthday sentiment from the An Amazing Friend stamp set to finish the card!

The Halloween High Jinks stamp set is so super cute! I love the little characters! I picked out some of my favorites and colored them with my alcohol markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

I needed a background that would really make these cuties pop, so I die cut a piece of black cardstock with the Sunburst Rectangle die. At first I layered it over a white card base, but something was missing, so I backed the Sunburst Rectangle die with gold glitter cardstock instead! 

I added most of my images with liquid glue and the boy and cat images with foam squares for dimension. I added a sentiment strip below the images to finish the card! I hope you love these cuties as much as I do! Remember to leave me a comment on this blog post and then leave comments on the other posts for chances to win a giftcard!

Caroling Squad Pull Tab Card

Hi! Today I totally stepped out of my comfort zone and made a pull tab card using the Caroling Squad stamp set from Simon Hurley Create.! I made a LOT of mistakes along the way and I'm sharing them with you! Hope you enjoy!

This card started off easily enough - a little ink blending! I love blues and purples for Christmas, so I picked out some of my favorite Simon Hurley Create. dye inks and started blending! I started at the top with my darkest - and favorite! - Triple Berry, then moved to Remember Me, and ended with the lightest color - Clear Skies.

What's a Christmas card without some snow? Once my background was done I added some flicks of white watercolor all over the card front. I stamped a sentiment from the Caroling Squad stamp set and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum powder. I stamped the tree and the boy from Caroling Squad and colored them with my alcohol markers.

Now here's where the mistakes started happening! Haha! I'm usually a pretty straight and narrow, clean and simple kind of girl - but for some reason I decided to step out on the ledge and create a pull tab card! Watch my video above to see all of my mistakes!

I assembled the tree and the little boy and created a pull tab card so that he hides behind the tree until you pull the tab and then you can see him! And even though there are obvious errors on this card, I'm so in love with it and I hope you are too! I'll see you soon!

I LOVE the Sweater Weather 6 x 6 paper pad! As I flipped through the papers it was hard for me to find my favorite pattern! I knew I wanted to use the Garden Wreath die and have patterned paper peeking through and the woodgrain pattern really stood out! I die cut the Garden Wreath die from watercolor cardstock And added Dan-D-Lion ink all over the die cut with a bit of Iced Tea ink to the center for a shadow.

I kept the original piece of cardstock that I die cut the wreath from so that I could inlay the wreath back into it. The white was too stark, so I added ink to give the background and autumn leaf feel. I used In Your Face Orange ink over the whole background and shaded with Kiss Me Red ink towards the center. I glued the background piece on top of the woodgrain patterned paper and puzzle pieced the wreath die back into place on the background panel.

I used a sentiment from the Cardinal Seasons stamp set - which is actually a Christmas stamp set, but I love the sentiment so much that I decided to use it! I stamped the sentiment with LDRS Creative Watermark ink and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder to finish the card!
