Unfrogettable Stamping!

October 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Welcome Fall, Y'all

 

  Hi there and welcome to the October 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Fall cards. Here in Central Virginia the leaves are just starting to turn - I hear that since we've been in a drought the last few months the colors are not supposed to be as pretty.  So I decided to use the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the thumping technique with several stampin' write markers to create my own beautiful fall tree.

 

 

  Here is another view of my project.  I used cajun craze, crushed curry and old olive ink pads to create my stamped leaf background on very vanilla card stock and sponged the edges with crumb cake ink.  The sentiment and tree trunk are done with early espresso ink.  To color the tree, I first inked the stamp with a crushed curry ink pad then "thumped" various markers on the leaf area of the stamp (starting with my lightest color and working to the darkest) using pumpkin pie, cajun craze, old olive, garden green, merry merlot and early espresso markers.  I also used the earl espresso marker to color the trunk and branches.  Then I huffed on it to moisten the ink to allow them to blend and then stamped.  Easy-peasey and that is how you achieve this look. 

 

  Here is a close-up of the bow - I used the braided linen trim to make it and attached it to the strip of trim using a mini glue dot.  I love the texture that it adds to the card.

 

 

   Here's a view of the inside of the card- I left it super simple with an old olive stamped image in the bottom corner and sponged edges with crumb cake ink.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For even more Fall-inspired card ideas, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

Fabulous Friday: Fun Color Combo Beautiful You card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards created with this fun color combination that Karla chose:  Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade and Whisper White.  I decided to use the Beautiful You and Buffalo Check stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels die to create my project.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card.  I used the polka dot tulle ribbon for a little bit of added texture.

 

 

   Here is a close up of the image panel - I watercolored it using my aqua painter and the ink pads. Did you know that you can squeeze the ink pad and use the ink that is deposited on the lid? 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment panel - I added a little butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and cut with the Butterfly Duet punch.  I also added a little pearl that mimics the polka dots in the tulle ribbon.  

 

 

  Here is one more look at my card.  For even more color combination card inspiration and ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.   

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Memories and More card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday Sunday!  Well, it happened again... time got away from me this week.  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards created with the Memories & More card packs from Stampin' Up!  I used the Happiness Blooms kit (that you can now find on the Clearance Rack, but only while supplies last!) for my super quick and easy card this week. 

 

 

  If you haven't purchased one of these card packs yet they are not only perfect for scrapbooking, but also for cardmaking in a flash!  This pack is one of two currently available on the Clearance Rack right now - it's a great way to buy one to try when they are priced at 60% off.  Here is what is included in the kits:

• 50 total double-sided cards (2 each of 25 designs) in 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" sizes
• 6 single-sided 4" x 6" specialty cards
• 4 sticker sheets (2 each of 2 designs)

This Happiness Blooms kit coordinates with several of the 2018-2020 In Colors - Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch, along with Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and whisper white.  

 

 

   Here is another view of my card where you can see that there is no stamping at all... I just cut down one of the 4" x 6" cards and added a few of the stickers along with several layers of card stock.  Easy-peasey - took me about 5 minutes to put it together (gotta love that!).

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment panel (it is part of the card design) - I just added a little sticker in the corner.  Super easy!

 

 

  Here is one more look at my quick and easy card.  For even more Memories & More card inspiration and ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.   

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
