Count Your Blessings by Jennifer

Hello everyone, Jenn here! I am sharing a page I completed in my Bible during the Thanksgiving holiday week. I love looking back over the year on both Thanksgiving and New Years eve remembering all the many many blessings I have been given.

I love the clear stickers from SRM and I thought what better way than to use them in my Bible! What makes them so awesome is you can see text through the image...making it perfect for those concerned with covering Bible text. Before I began I knew I wanted to commemorate Thanksgiving with some festive leaves so I stamped leaves with StazOn ink. Once dry I colored them in with the Marvy ColorIn watercolor pencils. To intensify the color I went in with my water brush and activated the pigment from the pencils. This was such a fun relaxing time I was able to just sit and soak in the words God wanted to speak to me. I really took my time and journaled a lot and even included a prayer which I started with the Jesus stamp from the Daily Devotion Stamp set.

I hope and pray this reminds you to slow down during this busy chaotic holiday season and really count your blessings. Write them down in a journal or Bible and come back to this when you feel lost, defeated and overwhelmed. God is so very very good!

Supplies Used:

Daily Devotion Stamp Set, ColorIn Watercolor pencils, WaterIn blending brush, Express Yourself Thanksgiving stickers, Sticker Sentiments Fall stickers

Pumpkin Candy Boxes! by Michele

Good morning!

Michele here with some fall treats!

I think these little clear boxes are so dang cute!

I took a piece of burlap and adhered it to the outside of the box.

I cut a bunch of pumpkins with my Silhouette. I inked the edges and layered them using Crafty Foam Tape.   I did a bit of Copic coloring on the leaves and layered everything on to the top of the box.  I added a sentiment from the Express Yourself Halloween Sticker set.   I even cut out the teeny candy corn and adhered it to a clear button. 

I tied the black and white twine and tucked the sentiment underneath and glued the button/candy corn to the top.  

My boxes are all ready for my co-workers to receive, for a little sweet pick me up!! 

Have a great day!

Give Thanks! by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with one of my last fall cards of the year! I can not believe the holidays are upon us! Where the heck does the time go? ;)

I used a stencil and various inks to create my background. I drew the leaves' veins with a white gel pen.

I also adhered a few gold sequins and a bit of glossy accents.  SRM's Give Thanks sentiment from Live Life/Calendar Year, was perfect for this fall card!  I tied a sheer ribbon at the top to finish it off! 

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thankful Gift Box by Tobi

Hi there! It's Tobi, sharing a fun little fall-inspired project. 

I find I can never have too many gift boxes ready-to-go. Today I'm sharing a quick little creation that's perfect for any Autumn gift-giving occasion. 

I started off by assembling the 3x3x3 kraft box.  

I then cut my font and shapes from Chalkboard Vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo and stuck them to the top of the box. 

It looks so sharp against the kraft!! 

 

I then decorated the box with pretty papers and a few embellishments. 

Gluing twine is a snap with the Mono-Multi glue applicator! 

All done! 

Supplies:
3x3x3 Kraft Box

Chalkboard Vinyl 

Solid Charcoal Twine

Uplifting Autumn card by Tanya

Hello everyone!

Tanya here today to share an uplifting Autumn card with you...

I created a colorful fall wreath using a couple of leaf dies and cardstock in pretty shades of autumn. Gold twine tied into a bow finished up my wreath perfectly.

I used 3 stamps from the lovely Trust in the Lord stamp set to create my sentiment.

For the finishing touch, I placed a few enamel dots around my sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Have a blessed day and I hope to see you soon!

Hello Fall Vinyl Pumpkins by Shantaie

Hello Fall! Shantaie here today to tell you I love this time of year!

That pretty much says it all doesn't it?

Create your own pumpkin patch for Fall with a mixture of real and decorator pumpkins, here I have used a Silhouette cut file in pastel orange vinyl  for a fun grouping add an image or several sentiments and gather them all together! 

My "pro tip" for applying vinyl to a ribbed shape like a pumpkin is to absolutely always use transfer tape, start in the center and slowly apply with your fingertips in a vertical direction, and follow one side all the way to the edge, then the opposite side, pushing the vinyl into the ridges as you go. You will have some "wrinkles" or bubbles but work those carefully with your bone folder, your fingertips or a plastic smoothing tool. It's really simple and look at the transformation!!

Happy Fall by Tanya

Hello everyone!  Tanya here today to share a sweet fall gift idea with you.  Fall has to be my favorite season of the year and I love creating and sharing small gifts to celebrate this wonderful, colorful time of the year. I really love the way this one turned out:

Doesn't that make you ready for Fall?

I started with the 6 X 4.5 inch Kraft Box.  After assembling my box, I inked up the edges with brown ink. Next, I cut panels of printed paper just slightly smaller than the sides and top of my box. I inked up those edges also and used a one inch circle die to create the notch on the front panel. I stamped the word "happy" onto the front panel in brown ink using the BIG Birthday stamp set.

After adhering all the panels, I wrapped this fabulous burlap ribbon around my box (I love the texture it adds).  Next I added the word "Fall" and those pump pumpkins that I cut out on my Silhouette.

I love the size of this Kraft Box!  My full sized candle, a tube of lotion and a small hand sanitizer all fit perfectly! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a great day and I'll see you soon.

 

8 x 8 Calendar by Tobi

Hi there. It's Tobi here with a quick calendar project. Now, you might be thinking, how can a calendar be "quick"? Well... hehehe... If you only do one month at a time it is!! One reason I got away from scrapbooking is it took me too darn long to finish a layout - and that's when I moved to other, smaller things.

Which brings me to my calendars! I like to do one month at a time, that way I have a pretty calendar all the time, and because I'm doing it throughout the year, I'm constantly changing products and techniques. AND let's face it, it's quick and easy just doing one month!!

I used a whole bunch of SRM goodies on this month! 

An important aspect (for me) when doing a calendar is to get the right patterned papers for the month. These are some old Cosmo Cricket papers I've been hoarding and they are perfect for fall!

I added a whole bunch of stickers to the right panel like a kind oflist. Then to the left are some stamped leaves on grey card stock. 

I don't have a lot planned for October yet (besides a quick trip down to Hong Kong) and a Hallowe'en party, but I'm sure I'll fill it up with more Planner Icon stickers soon! 

That's all for now! Thanks for joining me today. 

Supplies used: 

8 x 8 Calendar

Small Calendar numbers

Sticker Sentiments - Fall

Planner Icon Stickers

Pumpkin Patch Fall card by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here today with a fun Fall card. 

I'm in awe thats is fall, and we have all things fall to look forward to! I'm having fun with watercolor paper and stamps, all the beautiful fall hues melting into the paper! The Autumn Blessings stamp set is one of my favorites and tends to be the first one I reach for when I think fall!

I used a watercolor paper, and a slightly wet brush to "smudge" the leaves in the background, I added a few accents with Marvy Color In Watercolor Pencils for the pumpkin stems and leaf edges. So easy to feel like a real artist! A simple bow made from cream cord, adds just the right amount of softness and texture to finish the card. 

Now to enjoy all things Pumpkin spice!

Bountiful Blessings by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here! 

Today, I'm sharing a simple and sweet fall themed card with you! 

I did some simple die cutting for my leaves, which I used with some fall colored cardstock. After, I somewhat rolled and gathered together a little bit of burlap ribbon and jute twine. Then added a mini wood clothespin to hold it all together. Once done, I added some patterned paper to my card base, then my rolled bunched of burlap and jute along with my leaves and sentiment piece. 

Simple and sweet, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Celebrate Autumn by Amy

The cool crisp air and the changing of the leaves ring in my favorite time of year....Autumn!  This is Amy here today and I always look forward to this time of year and I think that the projects I make this time of the year are some of my favorite.  I just love the colors that are all around and love to put them into my projects.

Here is a card that I made to celebrate autumn…..

I used my Silhouette machine and THIS file to cut out the leaves.  I embossed the top of the card with an embossing folder in my Cuttlebug and then added a cream colored panel to the front.  I put some of the Sticker Stitches at the top and bottom of the panel and then adhered the die cut leaves.  I added a sentiment from the Fall Sticker Sentiments and then finished it off with a bit of Solid Marigold bakers twine.

Here is a closer look.......

So, do you have a favorite time of year?  What is your favorite thing about it?  I hope that you can be inspired to create with your favorite season.

Have a great day!

Amy
