My Favorite Hop: Favorite Leaf

 Hi! I have a quick post to share my card for today's My Favorite Instagram Hop: the theme for today is to share our favorite leaf. I'd have to say my favorite leaf is a maple leaf...we have a huge maple tree in our yard and are surrounded by maples in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. All so lovely in the Autumn!

This leaf die and embossing folder are from Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Bigz Layered Leaf die and embossing folder.  It seems to be a cross between a maple and oak leaf, but still very appealing!

I began by spritzing watercolor paper with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Spray inks, Distress Spritz Spray, and Mica Spray. After the sprays dried, I die cut the leaf with the die, then ran it through the matching embossing folder. I dabbed a bit of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap ink onto the edges of the leaf to complete the look that I wanted.

The leaf is mounted on a watercolor backdrop that was embossed with a Darice embossing folder; I believe it was called Chicken Wire.

Lovely vibrant color and easy to mail!

I hope that you get a chance to visit the My Favorite Instagram Hop...I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's leaf choices!

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Sunflower Let Your Light Shine

 Hi! Back again today with my card for the Friends in Faith Hop on Instagram. Today our theme is Let Your Light Shine! 

I've used two different sets from Stamp Simply for this card: Sunflower Season clear stamps and die and He is the Light clear stamp set for the sentiment.

The sunflower is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then Copic Sketch marker colored. I then die cut it with the sunflower die. 

The sentiment from the He is the Light stamp set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, and then die cut with retired Spellbinder dies.

The decorator paper used is Echo Park's Bee Happy. Love the prints in this pad! Gingham is my absolute favorite!

Count Your Blessings

 

Happy Friday! I'm here with my card for today's Friends in Faith Instagram Hop! Our theme for today is "Count Your Blessings," and Stamp Simply's Autumn Blessings clear stamp and die sets fit the bill perfectly! The sets can be purchased individually or as a bundle.

I stamped the bundle (in this case lavender, which I love...can also be wheat or grain), with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide inks. I then die cut each bundle out with one of the Autumn Blessings dies, and mounted each on a small square that is popped up. Oh, and I'm using watercolor paper for this entire card. 

The sentiment from the Autumn Blessings stamp set is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink.

Easy to make, and easy to mail!

Under His Wings

Hello and Welcome! I have a sweet card today using Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: God Will Take Care of You clear stamp and die sets. The Psalm 91:4 Bible verse is a part of the stamp set, and makes for both a comfort and blessing!

The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. After being die cut, they were then layered upon a retired Spellbinder die cut panel.

The background paper is from Carta Bella's Winter Time decorator paper pad.

My Favorite Hop Instagram Hop

 

All set for today's My Favorite Hop Instagram Hop where we were to use leaves in our project. I chose to create a card using Paper Trey Ink's Into the Blooms Acorn dies along with a sentiment from Stamp Simply's Boho Leaves clear stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink.

I die cut the leaves, acorn, and berries out of watercolor paper, then used Kuretake Zig Clean Markers to color them. After they dried, I spattered them with Ranger Distress Spritz sprays in Frayed Burlap and Rusty Hinge.

The FALL sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn Ink, then die cut with a retired Spellbinder tag die.

I mounted the die cuts on a panel that was embossed with a retired Stampin' Up embossing folder.

I hope that you get a chance to check out the My Favorite Hop over at Instagram. I cannot wait to see all of the leafy creations that are there!

Hope your week goes great...thanks for stopping by!
