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

The Cutting Edge Challenge #12

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

I was drawn to the theme and colors in Amy’s inspiration, creating a similar card using an Impression Obsession Plane with Banner die set.

The Cutting Edge Challenge #12

I cut the Impression Obsession airplane several times to create more dimension. I sponged white pigment ink onto the card panel through the My Favorite Things stencil. I stamped the sentiment from Clearly Besotted onto the airplane banner, curving the stamp as best I could to match the curve of the banner. The banner was cut from vellum and white cardstock. Originally I planned to simply have the vellum banner, but it got lost on the cloud background. After putting the card together it seemed a bit plain (no pun intended!) so I sprinkled on some white and blue sequins.

Holiday Cheer: Cutting Down the Christmas Tree

I’m back with another take on the Impression Obsession truck – this time on a holiday-themed card. For my scene, I’ve imagined a family gathering their Christmas trees in a snowy forest.

I used white embossing paste on a Simon Says Stamp stencil to create the softly falling snow. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set from a few years ago. I like the informal font for this style of card.

The Online Card Classes Copic Markers class starts tomorrow – looking forward to several weeks of coloring!

Supplies: Simon Says Stamp stencil, Hero Arts Holiday Cheer stamp set

Happy Fall: Die Cut Truck and Leaves

This morning during my walk, I saw a lovely leaf dance. Soon there will be piles of leaves in our yard. I’m sharing a card depicting a fall scene in the Pacific Northwest. When the leaves have fallen from the deciduous trees, we still have our evergreen backdrop.

The new Impression Obsession fall release has some terrific dies. I took some artistic liberties by pairing the die cut leaves with the truck! Those are some huge leaves! To add the leaves, I die cut a circle, which I trimmed just below the center line. I added a base layer of leaves to which I then kept adding leaves, attaching them with the Zig Memory Two-Way Fine Tip Pen.
