CAS(E) this Sketch #136

I’m playing along with the latest CAS(E) this Sketch #136 challenge. I couldn’t resist practicing my Distress Ink backgrounds to create a CAS fall-themed card. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re definitely seeing signs of fall!

Distress Ink background (top to bottom): Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon; Spellbinders bird die; Stampin’ Up sentiment

I’m going to start keeping a notebook with Distress Ink background combinations. I never seem to know what combinations to use. I’ve got a remnant piece from this card that I’ve labeled with the colors.

Online Card Classes Background Check – Day Two

I’m sharing a card created with one of the techniques shown by Kristina Werner in the Day Two lesson of the Online Card Classes Background Check class.

I stamped the Argyle Backdrop with ColorBox white pigment ink onto Stampin’ Up Sahara Sand cardstock. When that was dry, I stamped over the pigment ink (shifting slightly) with four Stampin’ Up dye inks. I cut out the panel with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die; it’s A2 sized. I cut the thanks sentiment and leaves with Lawn Fawn dies.

The Cutting Edge Challenge #13

It’s time for the another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Kay Miller.

After staring at Kay’s lovely creation and realizing that there was nothing I could do to improve upon her design, I decided to create a card with a fall/autumn theme using the Paper Smooches Seasonal Tree die set.

I adhered the tree to the light blue panel and popped the leaves up with dimensional adhesive.

Supplies: Lil’ Inker stitched rectangle die set; dimensional adhesive; Stampin’ Up sentiment; Paper Smooches Seasonal Tree

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
