Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today's card share is made using the sketch this week at

 Freshly Made Sketches.

I hadn't made a pumpkin using oval dies in a quite a long time so that is what I 

thought I would do with this sketch.

I had some Black and White Buffalo Check scraps that was leftover from another project, 

so I pulled them out to make my pumpkin.

The Buffalo Check background stamp was used with 

Black Memento ink on Whisper White card stock.

I used the Stitched Shapes Dies, using one of the Ovals in the set. 

I die cut 3 ovals and layered them up to make my trendy little Buffalo Plaid Pumpkin.

The two back ovals are laid fla and overlapped and glued together in the middle, I then added the front oval over the back two ovals with a couple of dimensionals.

 

I hand cut with a piece of Basic Black scrap the little stem. 

The base of my Card is thick Whisper White. I followed that with a piece of

Cherry Cobbler card stock.

I used a piece of Basic Black and embossed with the Subtle EF.

The top strip is made up of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

I used a die in the Stitched Nested Labels dies across the top and bottom of the

Whisper White piece.

The pumpkin is added to the card with dimensionals.

I felt the card needed a pop of something and I went looking at my sets and came across

the Frosted Foliage set that has these pretty berries.

I stamped them with Black Stazon on thick whisper white. 

Colored with Cherry Cobbler ink pad and my Aqua Painter and then fussy cut them out.

I tucked one in behind the pumpkin and one coming down onto the pumpkin.

I added a brush of Wink of Stella on the berries for some added shine.

The sentiment comes from the Country Home set.

 

I finished with a few little rhinestones and a small bow made with strands pulled from the

Flax Ribbon.

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today's card share is one I made using the challenge at 

Stamps Ink Paper Challenge Blog.

This one happens to be another fun color challenge:

You have heard me say how I am obsessing over the red trucks this year 

and I have been having fun

using the Ride With Me Bundle and coloring Red Trucks.

I stamped the truck image on Thick Very Vanilla card stock 

and pumpkin image with Black Memento ink and 

colored using my Blends.

I did fussy cut these out to add to my 

Stitched Rectangle.

I cut it with the Stitched Rectangle dies using thick Very Vanilla card stock.

 

The base of my card is  Early Espresso card stock.

I used another layer of Early Espresso and embossed it using the Subtle EF. 

I then matted that piece with Very Vanilla card stock.

I used the Buffalo Check Stamp and Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla to 

make my side strip piece.

I used my Samparatus for the Buffalo Check, that makes it much easier to get

a nice coverage.

I used some thread pulled from the Burlap ribbon to tie over the Buffalo check 

side piece.

The sentiment comes from the Beauty & Joy stamp set.

I added the truck rectangle piece to the card with dimensionals.

 

I finished up with a few orange rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

I loved the sketch at  Fab Friday 

so much I decided to use it again on this Thanksgiving card.

I made this with some of the leaves I had left over from yesterday's card.

These leaves using the Gathered Leaves Dies are so pretty and really fun to make.

Push the die into your ink pad before die cutting and you get a nice contrast on the leaves.

 

I stamped my Pumpkins with Black Stazon ink on thick whisper white card stock and  colored with

my Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake ink pads.

I die cut a circle using the Stitched Shapes Dies and Thick Whisper White card stock.

I added the leaves and pumpkins to the circle with dimensionals.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock.

I then used another layer of Crumb Cake that I embossed with

the Tin Tile EF.

 

The DSP is from the Come To Gather paper pack.

I matted it with some Cajun Craze card stock and I used an embossing die on one edge that is from the Stitched  Labels Dies.

The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

I finished up with a simple twine bow on one of the pumpkins!

Happy Monday Peeps!!

punched them out with the daisy punch.

I pressed the die into the ink pad before cutting with the leaf die and matching card stock.

The Crumb Cake pieces are a die from the Beautiful Bouquet dies.

Stitched Shapes Dies.

Aqua Painter and ink pads except the stems and leaves I stamped

Hey There, Pumpkin

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the fun Harvest Hello Hellos Bundle

along with a some leaves from the Gathered Leaves Dies.

I had an idea to add some flowers to the pumpkins after seeing some home decor pumpkins with designs on them at a local store.

I went looking through my stamps to find something that would work and

found this cluster of flowers in the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I stamped the flowers first with Versmark onto some Pumpkin Pie card stock

and embossed them with white embossing powder. I did the same with the

pumpkin outline from the Harvest Hellos set, centering my flowers in the middle of the pumpkin.

I  used the matching punch to punch out my pretty decorative pumpkins.

I embossed the stem in white on Crumb Cake and the leaf in white on Old Olive card stock.

 

The base of my card is thick Whisper White and then I used another 

layer of thick white and embossed it with the Subtle EF.

I added another layer using Crumb Cake and it is embossed with the Subtle EF as well.

I then added my leaves and pumpkins. The leaves are glued directly to the Crumb Cake piece and the 

Pumpkins are added with dimensionals.

 I slipped a piece of Crumb Cake under the edge of the bottom pumpkin 

and added some Twine and a bow.

 

My sentiment is from the Harvest Hellos stamp set and is stamped onto some scrap white.

I then cut it apart and added it to my card with dimensionals,

This layer is added to the Thick Whisper White base with dimensionals. 

I added three pumpkin pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack to finish it up.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Today brings my 3rd card in my fall leaves series.

This is actually the first one I made when I sat down with this set to use the leaves I had die cut.

.

The leaves are from the Gathered Leaves Dies and the DSP is from the matching

Come To Gather paper pack.

I used Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaron, Merry Merlot, and Early Espresso for my

leaves on this card.

 

I pulled my leaf colors from the DSP, all but the Early Espresso, 

which is in the pack of paper just not

the ones I used here. It works well with the other colors.

I used Pretty Peacock for my card base and Mint Macaron for the next layer.

The Second piece of DSP is layered with Pretty Peacock.

I die cut an oval using the Stitched Shapes Dies with Thick Whisper White.

The sentiment, from the Gather Together stamp set, was stamped onto the oval with

Pretty Peacock ink.

I added he oval to my card with dimensionals.

I then added the leaves around the opposite side of the oval gluing a few down and 

popping some up on dimensionals

I added a white twine bow to the center leaf.

 

I added a few peacock rhinestones from the Noble Peacock pack.

The inside: 

 

After making this card I went on to do a small gift box, holds just a couple of chocolates.

Happy Tuesday peeps!!!

Today I have another in my leaf series, this one definitely has a fall feel.

All of my cards in this series have the same basic layout.

The leaves I used are some I made when I was playing around with the dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies.

I pressed them into the ink pad and then into the matching card stock.

These are done with Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Crushed Curry inks and card stock.

The base of my card is Early Espresso and both of the DSP's on here are from the 

Come To Gather pack.

 

I die cut a stitched oval using a die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. 

I used thick Whisper White for the oval die cut.

I stamped my pretty sentiment, from the Country Home stamp set, with Early Espresso ink.

I added the oval to the card with dimensionals.

The second piece of matted DSP is also added with dimensionals.

I then arranged my leaves around one side of the oval.

I added a second Cajun Craze of the first with more dimensionals.

I die cut a few sprigs using a die in the Bouquet Bunch dies, 

using Cajun Craze and Early Espresso to add to my leaf arrangement.
