Fall Birthday Wishes

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

I am excited to finally share this card.

I have had it under wraps for over two weeks.

I wanted to make a special card for a very special friends birthday, which is today!

She actually received it yesterday so I can now share it.

I had been on a kick making wreath cards and it hit me, to make one like this using the leaf punches in the Beautiful Autumn Bundle.

I started out by punching several of the 2 leaves in a few fall colors, I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze card stock for the leaves.

I sponged the bottom of the leaves, which kinda got hidden when arranging the wreath.

I have to tell, I ended up making a second one of these for my card buying friend.

So on the second one I sponged more around the leaf edges and not just on the bottom.

I also used my stylus from the Simply Scoring board and the foam piercing mat to shape the leaves, I simply rolled the stylus in small circles on both sides and on some I added a crease of sorts down the middle.

 

The leaves are arranged around a die cut circle ring, 

I used two of the Layering circle dies to make the ring.

 I added it to a piece of DSP from the In Good Taste pack using dimensionals.

I used a small twig die from the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Dies cut with Early Espresso card stock and snipped into smaller pieces to add in and around the leaves.

I added my wreath that is mounted on the DSP

 to a base of Crushed Curry card stock.

The "birthday" is die cut using the Well Written Dies, I added a piece of  an Adhesive sheet to the back of a scrap of Crushed Curry and die cut the "birthday" 3 times. The Adhesive sheets makes it so easy to layer these up. 

I like the dimension of layering the sentiment. I stamped the "Wishes" onto a small piece of Crushed Curry with Early Espresso ink. It is added to the card with dimensionals.

 

I finished up with a pretty bow made with the Braided Linen trim and a small Acorn Trinket. The final touch was a few small rhinestones for just a bit of bling.

Hope she likes it as much as I liked making it!

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

I have another Fall type card to share today.

In my ongoing effort to color all my flowers lately in Fall colors, here is my Fall peony! 

I stamped with Black Stazon onto Thick Very Vanilla card stock and watercolored with Crushed Curry, Bumble Bee and a hint of Pumpkin Pie.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Autumn Goodness stamp set, with Black Memento ink.

I then embossed this main panel with the Subtle EF.

 

I die cut the bottom of a piece of Bumble Bee card stock with a die from the Peony Dies and then mounted my main image panel.

I added some pretty ribbon and bow with the Bumble Bee Gingham ribbon across the bottom ust above the scallop die cut and embossed edge.

The DSP here is from the Flowers for Every Seasons pack.

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Jar of Flowers stamp set. 

I decided to make another Slimline card.

 This one measures, 8-1/2 x 3-1/2 ( or about that). The card is already boxed and ready to head out

with a bunch of others to a sweet, sweet customer. Hi Deanna!!!

All the flowers in this set are so pretty, but I love Sunflowers so I used those this time.

I stamped and then masked the jar a couple of times.

One I turned on it's side and "spilled" some water out if it.

 

I fussy cut out the flowers and added them to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from the Country Home stamp set.

I embossed the white card stock after stamping and coloring using the Tasteful Textures EF.

Golden Leaves

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

How about we start out the week  with a Clean and Simple Fall Card!

I love the leaves in the Love of Leaves Bundle.

The Stitched Leaves Dies can make a pretty card all by themselves.

I die cut three of the leaves using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron card

stock.

Aren't they pretty?

 

The base of the card is Early Espresso card stock and then I layered a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, that I embossed with the Tasteful Textile EF. with Mint Macaron card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Goodness set before using the Embossing Folder.

I used  Cajun Craze ink for the sentiment.

The pretty DSP is from the Gilded Autumn pack.

 

I finished my card with a double twine bow and one of the Acorn Trinkets.

Season's Greetings

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!! 

How are you doing? Hanging tough, I hope!

It is hard, some days more than others.

Seems like there is little hope that it will change. Scary times and I worry

what the world will be like when my granddaughters are grown.

Making cards is what keeps me sane. 

It keeps my mind occupied and not always thinking of

of the trouble of the world.

What do you do to take your mind off the state of the world right now?

For this card I took out a couple of older items, still current but not brand new.

I love the Holly Leaves with berries from the Christmas Gleaming set.

I used it quite a bit last year but hadn't yet this year.

What I have used is the pinecones, those dies are awesome, I love tucking a couple of the pinecones into my arrangements, I know you have seen me do that before but I just can't help myself.

 

The pine boughs come from the same dies as the pinecones, the Beautiful Boughs dies.

My sentiment is from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set and is stamped with Real Red ink onto a stitched oval die from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

I used DSP from the In Good Taste pack, the dark pine wood circle.

And one of my favorite pieces of DSP in the Occasions mini this gingham look paper from Tis the Season 6x6 pack. It is barely visible under the rest of the elements, but I know it is there..haha!!!

The background of my card is embossed with the Suble EF, 

another favorite I can' seem to stop using.   

I added a bow using the Red Braided Linen trim.

 

Finally I finished my using my Wink of Stella all over the Holly Leaves and berries.

Adds such a pretty shimmer.

Poinsettia Christmas

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today I have another Poinsettia card to share.

This one is made with the same suite of products as yesterday's share however this

one is made with just the Poinsettia Dies.

I die cut the layers, twice of all three sizes for the large poinsettia with Real Red card stock.

Don't you love the impressions you get on the petals and leaves?

I die cut three of the leaves using Garden Green and the Pine leaves are die cut using Shaded Spruce card stock and come from the Beautiful Boughs Dies.

The pretty little poinsettias are die cut using Petal Pink card stock.

 

I die cut the little gold berries using Gold Foil Sheets as well as the center of the large Poinsettia.

The center of the small flowers are pieces cut from the gold berry stems.

The sentiment is stamped onto Thick Whisper White card stock and then embossed with the Dainty Diamonds EF.

I matted that piece with more Gold Foil paper.
