Monday Monday Love of Leaves

 

Welcome to my blog. For a card swap I needed to make a fall card for a swap. I decided to use Love of Leaves bundle from the mini catalog (pg.49). Above are the 2 cards I came up with. They are simple to make.I first stamped some leaves and cut them out with the dies from the bundle. I also used the dies to cut leaves from the Brushed Metallic cardstock and Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP (Pg. 45).

Materials and Directions 

Card 1

-The card base is Whisper White 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 folded in half

- The layering piece is a piece of Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I cut a circle in the middle using circle layer die( in annual catalog). I inked the edges with Cinnamon Cider ink( annual catalog).I then glued to the front. I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from Paper Pumpkin.

- I then glued 2 of the leaves to the front as in the photo.

Card 2

- The card base is Cinnamon Cider cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 folded in half.

- The layering piece is Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP cut 2-1/2 x 5-1/2. I adhered to the card front.

- The leaves I used were from the Brushed Metallic cardstock and Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP . I glued them as in the photo. 

- The inside I glued a drip of the DSP to the side. I used the layering dies from Hippo Happiness for the sentiment. I used Brushed Metallic and Very Vanilla cardstock for this.

Wacky Wednesday Halloween using Stampin Up and my stash

Welcome to my blog. I love my Stampin Up products and how well the meld with other products I have. Today I worked on Halloween cards for craft fairs , family and friends. I used Stampin Up cardstock and DSP with dies and stamps I have.
- For the flip cards I used new and retired Stampin Up DSP. The card on the left is DSP from the holiday catalog. The one on the right is retired Stampin Up DSP. The card bases I made using dies I have. The same for the ghost and bat.

-The pumpkin and ghost card I used current DSP from the holiday catalog. The ghost and bat are from my stash.

I have a lot of Halloween from Stampin Up and other companies. Because I don’t make many Halloween cards I usually just get the Halloween Stampin Up DSP and rest comes from my stash.
If you need Halloween stamps and dice there are several nice ones in the Holiday Catalog. Here’s a couple.

Thanksgiving and Winter cards

Welcome to my blog. The cards for today I made using the same sketch I used yesterday. One is for Thanksgiving and one a Winter card.
Thanksgiving card 

-  For this card I used the same directions from yesterday. The card base is Very Vanilla cardstock. The layer is from the Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP.  The image is stamped on a square of Very Vanilla cardstock using Cinnamon Cider ink. The stamp set is retired Pleasant Pheasant. This is one of my favorite fall stamp sets. It works well with new DSP paper.
Winter Card

This could be a winter Birthday card as well as a Christmas card. This card also uses the same directions as yesterday’s card. The card base is Night of Navy cardstock. For the layer I used Trimming The Town DSP. The image is also from the Trimming The Town DSP. I used the layering circles to cut out the image from the paper. I then die cut a larger circle using the layering circle dies. I glued the image to it.

Simple card using Celebrate Sunflower bundle

Welcome to my blog. I needed a card for a swap and had trouble figuring out a design. When I need inspiration I go to Pinterest and checked out my sketch file.Sketches are a good way to get your creative juices going.  I used this sketch to help me make my card.

I used part but not the whole sketch. The sunflower being so big I didn’t feel I need the square layer.
Materials and Directions 
- start with a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 card base in Bumblebee.
- layer 1 is DSP 5-1/4 - 4 I used a scrap of Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP I had. Glue to card front.
- layer 2 is a a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 2-1/4 x 5. I embossed this piece using the Greenery embossing folder. Glue on top of layer 1 as in photo.
- The sunflower image I stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I colored using my Stampin Blends. I cut out using the dies from the bundle. I cut out the leaves from Old Olive cardstock. I glued the leaves then adhered the sunflower with dimensionals.
- inside I glued a strip of DSP on the side. The sentiment is from this stamp set. I also stamped the smaller sunflower inside.
