Fall Card #3

Hi everyone... Thanks for stopping by !! I want to share another fall card with you. I got the idea for this card from "Dawn5377" on youtube, she is a Stampin Up demonstrator and has a ton of ideas.

For the card I used some card stock from my stash, TPC and Martha Stewart leaf stamps and Memento ink in the colors,  Pear Tart, Cantaloupe, Rhubarb Steak, and Bamboo Leaves. This was a very fun and easy card to make.... I think I said that about the last one too !! But if you have to make a lot of one card you want it to be easy..

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving !

Hedgehog "Fall" card...

Yes, that's what the title says... a hedgehog card !! Now I don't know what a hedgehog has to do with fall and Thanksgiving, but he was so cute I just had to use him :) 

I used my Cricut Imagine, "Enjoy the Season's" cartridge. I cut him at 3" using the layers tab. His boots and scarf are on pop dots.. I also inked the edges of the leaf  and card base with Momento "Rhubarb Stalk". The background paper is also from the same cartridge.. The sentiment is from a TCP stamp I have had for years.  Flat back pearls, felt flower trim and flourish are from Michael's. And once again I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but it is finished with the same leaf paper...

Fall Card

Hi, I'm back !!! The last three months have been very sad and stressful to say the least. My dad passed away on October 10, and my mom passed away five weeks later.  They would have been married 72 years on Dec. 7th.   Now they are together forever..  I miss them so much :( 

 

Here is a fall card I made with my new LaLa Land stamp " Pumpkin Luca". I colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers. His hat and jacket are paper pieced with MME "Fine & Dandy" 6 x 6 card stack. The owl is from Michaels, " recollections". The card base is a  corrugated card from Michaels. The mat pieces were cut from Spellbinders dies.

   

The bow, twine and button were all form my stash.. I also finished the inside but forgot to take a pic. !

Colors used for coloring:

Skin                                                           Pumpkin
FS 2 & 3                                                    GB 4,5 & 6

PP1

Hair                                                           Boots

A couple of cards...

Happy Wednesday :)

I have a couple of cards to share with you today.

The first card was made with DCWV "The Homespun Matstack" and a Close To My Heart stamp set called "Joyfull Jar" (B1393)  I stamped the little flowers in the jar with various colors of Momento ink. The flowers are from Michaels dollar bin. Sentiment was punched with my Stampin Up label punch and the ribbon is from my stash....

This second card was printed on my Cricut Imagine using the "We're Better Together" cartridge. I cut the purse on fit to page, and cut the girls at 4" and the sentiment at 1".. The white trim is from Hobby Lobby and the blue trim is Recollections from Michaels. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the buckle slider and flat back pearl are from Sa Crafters.

Hope you all are having a great day.. Don't forget to follow me and also check out my Youtube channel... sgit56 ! Hugs, Jen

Hi everyone,  Thanks for stopping by !

I want to share with you some little favors I made for a crop I had on Friday.

I used some glassine bags and put some candy inside, I wrapped the bags with some red  cardstock that I edged with a Martha Stewart border punch..

 I then added a cute piece of clipart to the front, cut out with a Spellbinders die. large scallop octagon in two sizes. The paper I used is DCWV "The Summer Days"

I also made some little boxes. I cut these out on my Cricut with the "Tablescapes - Spring & Summer" cartridge. The star was cut out with the same cartridge. The 4th of July was cut with the  "Stand & Salute " cartridge.. then added a little button and flower punch and of course some bling ! and guess whats inside... you got it.. more candy :) These were a lot of fun to make and very quick and easy..

Hope you all have a very Happy and Safe 4th of July.. Hugs, Jennifer

Hi Everyone,  I  wanted to share my entries for the Wild Orchid Crafts design team open call.

I found this little chair at the thrift store. I painted it yellow and then dry brushed white over the yellow..   I took one of my granddaughters flip flops and made a pattern for the little mini..

The umbrella is a wedding bouquet holder, I cut the handle off and then turned it upside down and glued in a dowel rod..  I sprayed the ruffle with Lindys Stamp Gang, Pineapple Paradise..

I added lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers...

I used the Graphic 45, Tropical Travelogue paper for the mini.

 I bound the mini with seam binding, then added a charm I made.

I made the little cushion because the mini kept falling through the slats in the chair... :)

This is the little "Pillow Box" purse I made using the " Art Philosophy" cartridge from Close to my Heart.  ( handle and swirl are also from the same cartridge..

Then I added some beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, sheer trim and pearls..
Thanks for stoppomg by.. Hugs, Jennifer
