Pumpkin Bouquet – TE Share Joy Challenge #54

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #54.

TE Share Joy Challenge #54

I used the sketch and the inspiration photo to create a fall-themed card:

I heat-embossed the Pumpkin Bouquet with gold embossing powder and colored it with watercolors and cut it out with its corresponding die. I dry-embossed the circle background for more texture against the patterned papers from TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Harvest.

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from Many Minis – Holidays on to a tag cut with a die in the Mini Tags set.

Freshly Made Sketches #254 Freshly Made Sketches #254I let the American Crafts Give Thanks patterned paper (from last fall) do the heavy lifting (including the sentiment) and paired it with die cuts cut with the Essentials by Ellen Gourd-jus set. The circle was dry-embossed with a Stampin’ Up Sizzix woodgrain folder.

I stamped the Birch Tree Background and cut it out with a circle in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I created a lot of pumpkins with Little Bits – Fall Harvest and the Little Bits – Fox placing them in the On the Road – Wagon (I wanted the fox to appear to be almost camouflaged by the pumpkins). I used a sentiment from Woodsy Wishes (the sentiments in the set have just the right touch of whimsy!).

Lawn Fawn Fall Scene

Happy Monday! It’s a crisp fall-like day here in the Pacific Northwest. These puppies from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Howloween set are irresistible!

I Copic-colored the dogs and cut them with their corresponding dies adding them to a scene created with a variety of Lawn Fawn die cuts. I pulled the sentiment from Argyle Backdrops. Keep Cozy!

PB Simplicity – Thinking of You Fall-Themed Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS fall-themed card created with Penny Black stamps.

PB Simplicity Fall Tree

This card came about as a result of a happy accident. Using my MISTI, I stamped the tree 40-417 Regalia with a variety of Distress Ink colors and then again with VersaMark ink, which I heat-set. The heat-set image allowed me to stencil light blue ink onto the tree with a sponge applicator. (I created a stencil by cutting a circle shape out of vellum.)

After stenciling, I stamped a sentiment from #30-345 Soar and cut the image with a rectangular die, adhering the panel to a wood-grain card base.

Last week, I shared a card on the Simplicity Blog using non-holiday dies to create a bold and modern Christmas creation. I hope you’ll head over there and take a look.
