Sweet Sunday.......Hello Fall

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is the fun sketch we have for this week.

I wanted to make a Fall type card using some goodies from the Stampin Up Occasions mini.

I love the new Acorny Thank You stamp set with matching punch and

 I have had this corrugated paper from Stampin Up for a few weeks

 and wanted to use them for the acorns and had not done it so this was the perfect opportunity for me to do it!

I stamped the tops of the acorns onto Crumb Cake using Cajun Craze ink.

The bottoms are the corrugated paper punched with the matching punch.

I layered the tops over the base of corrugated acorn using dimensionals.

The leaf behind the Acorns is from the For All Things stamp set.

 I stamped with Crushed Curry ink onto Very Vanilla. I fussy cut it out and them crumbled it all up and then smoothed it back out.

I added some linen thread on top of the leaf and then added my acorns to make the fun little Fall element.

I think this grouping will be making an appearance on my

 Thanksgiving Name Cards. Be on the look out for those!

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and then the center element is Early Espresso and a piece of DSP from the Woodland paper pack.

The sentiment banner is from the For All things stamp set. I used Old Olive ink to stamp that on the Vanilla card stock.

I added a bit more Corrugated paper under the sentiment as well.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Sunday.....Hello Fall

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. 

Here is our fab sketch this week:

Fall is in the air, it has been beautiful here in Southwest Missouri this past week and the trees are just starting to put on their Fall show! I can not deny that Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year.

So when I was thinking about this sketch I first (of course) thought about flowers, you all know that is my fave, but with fall coming around I wanted to do some pretty leaves.

I asked a friend to borrow this great set, For All Things, to make my card.

Somehow I have gotten to a point that I don't have a pretty fall leaf set. So my friend was happy to lend me hers. 

I stamped my leaves using Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Elegant Eggplant onto some Naturals Very Vanilla card stock..

I fussy cut them out and set aside to use on my card

The base of the card is Soft Suede and then a layer of vanilla and then another layer of Soft Sued that I embossed using the Woodland Textured EF. So love this Embossing Folder.

I added the sentiment using Elegant Eggplant ink, it is from the same stamp set.

I added a bit of linen thread and a few gold sequins. 

The leaves are added using dimensionals on the Crushed Curry leaf and the Cajun Craze leaf.

The Eggplant colored leaf is tucked under the sentiment panel and glued directly to the embossed layer.

Be sure and head over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the team did with this great sketch.

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I have not made very many fall cards this year even tho it is my favorite time of the year, and since Thanksgiving is this Thursday here in America, I took this opportunity to make a one.

I pulled out my Stampin Up Fall Fest stamp set along with the Hardwood Background and the For All things set and got busy!

I love a square card and was excited to use this sketch!

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then a layer of Cajun Craze and the DSP comes from the Color Me Autumn paper pack.

The center layers are Cajun Craze and another piece of Crumb Cake that is stamped with Crumb Cake ink using the Hardwood BG stamp. I added the sentiment from the For All Things stamp set using Cajun Craze ink.

I used a piece of the 1-1/4" burlap ribbon across the bottom. I stamped three pumpkins from the Fall Fest stamp set using Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake ink. I cut them out with the matching dies and sponged the edges with Cajun Craze ink. I cut three small leaves that are from the Fun Fall Framelits and crumbled them up a bit. I added them to the pumpkins and then used some small buttons and twine to top them off.  I used a bit of crystal effects on the leaves to make them look a bit wet and then colored all over the pumpkins with my Wink of Stella pen to add a bit of a glow.

I finished off with a few gold sequins.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:
