Hello Fall in the Pacific Northwest

Today, I’m sharing a just-for-fun card depicting a typical scene in my neck of the woods, with some artistic license, of course! We’re surrounded by beautiful pine/fir/cedar forest and a scene with a blue sky, evergreen background, and a picket fence isn’t uncommon.

I stylized this scene with a black cat and pumpkins!

Hello Fall in the Pacific Northwest

I cut everything twice and attached the two layers with the 2-Way Glue Pen. I also used dimensional adhesive on the cat and a few of the pumpkins to create even more depth. Hope you’re having a wonderful fall (or perhaps spring?) day!

Supplies: Stampin’ Up sentiment; Stampin’ Up Baked Brown Sugar cardstock; Stampin’ Up dimensional adhesive; Impression Obsession dies: Fir Tree Border, Pumpkin Patch, Picket Fence, Cat Set, Clouds

Playing along with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches with a Halloween card.

Freshly Made Sketches #157 - Halloween

I used a Memory Box die set – Trick or Treaters – for the focal point, pairing it with a Stampin’ Up sentiment and patterned paper from We R Memory Keepers. I particularly like how this sketch uses pattern. (I have a lot of patterned paper and often look for ways to use it.) Hope you’re having a terrific weekend!

CardMaps with Penny Black

Today, I’m sharing a card I created using one of the October Cardmaps Sketches with Penny Black supplies designed by Becky Fleck.

I used 30-244 Bon Voyage for the focal image and sentiment. I stamped the balloons several times and paper pieced them. I stamped the ampersand from 30-247 Life’s Journals, cutting it with a circle punch. I die cut the clouds with 51-033 Silver Linings.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Brushstroke Christmas set, as well as the lights from the Tis the Season set. The stag was cut from both green and gold foil cardstock. I cut two layers for extra depth. The die cuts and stamps in this release work so well together!
