Fall festivities ... already

Thought I would break out an old set and do a little Fall/Thanksgiving card.  I went to one of my favorite sites, MOJO Monday-The Blog to get the juices flowing.  

 

Here is the finished card ...



Stamps:  Always Thankful, Loads of Love Accessories (SU)

Paper:  Black, White

DP:  Simply Delightful (My Minds Eye)

Ink:  Memento Black, Tea Dye (Ranger)

Accessories:  Prismacolor markers, sponge dauber, button, pop dots (SU), ribbon (H.L.), rectangle, circle and scallop dies (Spellbinders)

 

This card is actually 5 x 7.  The image looked too big for an A2 sized card with the layers. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

 

Have a great day!

Hello Pumpkin ...

I'm having such a great time with coloring pumpkins and making fall cards this year.  Love this stamp set by Verve.  Today's card was inspired by this week's MOJO sketch ... 

This is what my inky fingers created ...

Stamps:  Bountiful Harvest (Verve)

Paper:  White, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Summer Starfruit

Ink:  Memento Black, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Summer Starfruit

Accessories:  Swiss dots and swirls embossing folder (CB), sponge dauber, Copics, Signo gel pen, Nestabilities circle and scallop dies, ribbon (Non SU), glimmer brad

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

• I sponged Summer Starfruit and Old Olive around the pumpkins.
• I added a little white dot on each scallop.  I've seen a lot of cards done like that and really like the look.
• After embossing my white panel, I swiped my ink pad over it to ink only the raised dots.
• I made a double bow (can't really tell by the picture) and finished it off with a glimmer brad.  

After over 21 years of being a stay-at-home mom and volunteering, I am heading back into the working world.  I think I've found the perfect job for me.  A new Michael's is opening up near my house so I applied and got a position.  I am excited to start this new venture.  My daughter said "Talk about adding fuel to the fire."  I thought that was so funny ... and so true.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Verve challenge #3 ... A sketch

I'm only a week late in getting these cards done.  Late or not, it has still been fun playing along with the Verve challenges.  Today's card is based off their sketch ...

I knew I wanted to do something fall-ish.  This is what I came up with ...

Stamps:  Bountiful Harvest (Verve)

Paper:  River Rock, Not Quite Navy, Tangerine Tango

DSP:  River Rock, Not Quite Navy

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  burlap (Verve), Copics, Nestabilities circle dies, pearls, Tangerine Tango ribbon, scallop border punch, dimensionals

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I had so much fun coloring those pumpkins. After putting it together, I realized I had stripes going in both directions.  I just like my cards to have special character. :)

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Pumpkin patch ...

I've been on a stamping roll again.  Today I'm posting a card for the Pals Paper Arts challenge.  This is a favorite of mine, especially since I was lucky enough to be on the design team last year with a fabulous group of stampers! The inspiration over at the Pals is a sketch this week ...

Here is how I interpreted the sketch ...

Stamps:  Heartfelt - GKD

Paper:  Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, Always Artichoke, White

Ink:  Soft Suede, Always Artichoke

Accessories:  Copics, CB Victoria embossing folder, Nestabilities circle dies, ribbon, sponge dauber, dimensionals

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I did change the corners where the circles are located from the original sketch.  When I tied my bow, it looked funny because the tails were on the top, but when I took it off and switched directions it was perfect ... except for my trimming boo boo on the tail.  Just some added character and emphasizes handmade. :)

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!
