Masculine Happy Birthday

Hi there! Here today with a masculine birthday card; perfect for that little boy or plane loving adult!

I've created this card for my monthly stamping group of ladies...our challenge was to "add something shiny" to our card and I have two different items that gleam here. Most all products are from Stampin' Up.  

Let's take a look:

The plane die set is Stampin' Up's "Adventurous Sky" dies; the sentiment dies are Stampin' Up's "Wanted to Say" dies.

I began by adding shine to the base of the plane and sentiment by applying clear packing tape over red cardstock before die cutting. What shine! Thanks to Linda from our stamping group for sharing this idea!  

The dark cardstock used here is actually an "onyx" metallic cardstock. It was from my stash, so I no longer know where it is from.

The plaid designer paper is Echo Park's Little Lumberjack, available from Stamp Simply.

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to check back for my regular Friday post this week!

Give Thanks

Hello and Welcome! I've got a quick and easy card with a bit of texture and shine for you today.

Featured here is Stamp Simply's Give Thanks stamp and die sets. Such a lovely oak leaf with acorns to color or paper piece! One of my favorite Autumn stamp sets at Stamp Simply!

The Give Thanks leaf stamp is stamped upon white cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, then colored with Copic Sketch markers. It was then die cut with the Give Thanks steel die.  A bit of shine is added to the acorns with Rangers Glossy Accents.

The leafy decorator paper panel is a print from Carta Bella's Welcome Autumn paper pad. I added a bit of texture to it by running it through a paper crimper. 

The sentiment from the Give Thanks stamp set is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink, then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

A perfect card for Thanksgiving!

Paper Pieced Pumpkin

 

Hello and Happy Autumn! Loving the crisp temperatures and colorful foliage...perfect!

I have a paper pieced pumpkin for you today; fun to do and flat enough to easily mail. The pumpkin here is from Stamp Simply's "Welcome Fall" stamp and die sets. 

I am simply loving this new Craft Consortium paper pad..."Test of Time." The pad has lovely textured paper patterns, all in muted tones. Fabulous!

I began by stamping the Welcome Fall pumpkin onto off white cardstock using Versafine Clair Acorn ink. I then stamped the pumpkin onto a piece of the decorator paper, then fussy cutting the pumpkin. I glued the decorator paper piece onto the off white cardstock piece, then colored the stem and leaves with Copic markers. I then die cut the pumpkin with the Welcome Fall die set. 

The background decorator paper panel was stamped with words from the Welcome Fall stamp set. Easy!

Hope you get a chance to visit the pumpkin patch this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.

House of the Lord Pastor Appreciation

Hello! Here today with a card that is for October's Pastor Appreciation Month. I've used two different Stamp Simply stamp sets, along with one embossing folder. Pretty simple, but great impact with a clean look. The card measures 5 x 7 inches.

Take a look:

The church stamp here is from Stamp Simply's "My Church" stamp set. The set also has a matching die set, which was not used in this case. I stamped the church image with Memento Rich Cocoa ink (similar), then colored it with Copic Sketch Markers.  The Bible verse is also a part of the My Church stamp set.

I've layered the church panel onto a panel that is embossed using Tim Holtz Sizzix 3D Texture Fade Acorn embossing folder. The subtle texture really adds to a clean and simple card. The Acorn embossing folder is also available at Stamp Simply.

Here's where the Pastor Appreciation portion comes in. I've stamped the inner portion of the card using Stamp Simply's Pastor and Ministry Appreciation Greetings and Versafine Clair Acorn ink:

Gather Together Pumpkins

 

Loving all of the Autumn feels! Leaves are changing and beginning to fall here, even with the warmer temperatures. Nights are cool and comfortable.  

I have a card filled with Autumn colors for today, along with Stamp Simply's Boho Pumpkins stamp and die sets.

The pumpkins were stamped onto creamy cardstock using Memento's Rich Cocoa ink (similar), then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. They were die cut with the Boho Pumpkins die, then mounted on a background of Craft Consortium Ombre designer paper. 

The "gather together" sentiment is from the Boho Pumpkins stamp set, stamped with the Memento Rich Cocoa Ink (similar). The words were die cut with Stamp Simply's Fishtail Sentiment Banner dies.

A corduroy button and a bit of May Art's Burlap String adds the finishing accent.

Have a great Friday!

Cool and Crisp!

Cool and crisp; clean and simple!

Here's a very quick and easy card to make to celebrate Autumn using Stamp Simply Harvest stamp and dies along with a sentiment from Stamp Simply's new Boho Pumpkins stamp set.

I die cut and layered a monochromatic card (watercolor cardstock) with the very top panel die cut with a leaf die from the Stamp Simply Harvest die set. I layered Carta Bella Welcome Autumn decorator paper, stamped with the leaf from the Harvest stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink beneath the die cut "window."

The "cool and crisp" sentiment is from the Stamp Simply Boho Pumpkin stamp set, also stamped with the Acorn ink. LOVING the font and size of these sentiments!

Easy!

A BIG thanks to my good buddy, Kathie, for the lovely quilted Autumn table runner! It is absolutely gorgeous and a favorite gift to have received!

Stamp Simply Boho Autumn Leaves

Hello! I'm back today with another card made with Stamp Simply's Boho Fall Leaves stamp and die sets. I just love this versatile set! This time I have watercolored it and added Ranger Crystal Effects to make the acorns shine.

The image was stamped onto watercolor paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then watercolored and die cut. It is layered over a Carta Bella Welcome Autumn decorator paper background. Note the crimped paper border to add additional texture. 

The "oak" die cut is from the Boho Fall Leaves die set. I die cut the word three times and glued together for added dimension.

Quick and easy to mail!

Have a wonderful Fall weekend!
