Happy Thanksgiving

Howdy, friends!  It's Jinny here to share a page I made using Angelica's Speaking of Fall stamp set.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that somehow, someway, it needed to be used on a layout.  Unfortunately, I ran out of time to make it happen during its release week, but I finally got around to getting it done and couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome.

I just had to give you a close-up of those delicious, little leaves.  I stamped the polka dots in the same color of ink as the leaves themselves, and although they didn't take as well to the texture of this particular patterned paper as they do to regular cardstock, I still love that the repetition of polka dots is apparent.

Stamped vellum, laid right over photographs, is one of my favorite things ever, and this bit of word art works perfectly for just such.

I also tied in a few of the sentiments from this set on a little, die-cut flag...

as well as in the title itself.

I'd love for you to stop by my blog to get all the nitty gritty details.  Thanks so much for looking, and may your Thanksgiving seasons be truly blessed!  Hugs!

Speaking of Fall

Blessed

Hello, Jennie here today with a card to share that I made using Speaking of Fall:

 The sentiment and leaves were stamped using Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used a herringbone embossing folder and embossed a panel of Core'dinations Tim Holtz Kraft-Core cardstock. Just love the texture it gives as it is embossed.

Here is The Craft's Meow stamp set I used on my card. 

Don't forget the E X C I T I N G   N E W S ! ! !

Hey, friends!  It's Jinny here to share a soft, girly, little number to highlight one of Nina's gorgeous, chalkboard sentiments.

I'm a huge fan of the chalkboard trend but wanted to go for a bit of a softer look.  So I overlaid a cardstock panel, which had been stamped with flourishes and two sizes of little hearts, with vellum in order to frame the actual sentiment.  And just because I like a clean, un-tampered with look to my vellum, I anchored it with machine stitching.

A couple more flourishes, stamped right on the vellum itself, and a simple, embossed butterfly ground the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by, y'all!  I hope that I've given you just a bit of inspiration for your own creative times this week.  Have a blessed Sunday!

harvest...my favorite time of the year

Stacey here with a card celebrating the harvest season!  The stamp set, Speaking of Fall is FREE this month with your $60 purchase!  I adore the leaf images (outlined, solid and patterned) in this set and those fabulous sentiments!

Speaking of Fall

If you look closely to the sentiment tag, there are some aqua leaves stamped collage-style onto the patterned paper. The sentiments on the tag and card front panel were heat embossed to create a bold shine and texture.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A Layered Thanksgiving Card

Hello, this is Amy here to share a project with you today.  Can you feel it??  Fall is in the air and I am super excited to be welcoming it with this fun little card.  I will admit that the fall months and Thanksgiving are my favorite times of the year. 

I created this layered pumpkin card with the Autumn Borders stamp set by coloring three different images and then layering the first one with some of the background cut out of the image on the second one.  For the third layer, I just colored and cut the pumpkin image to layer on top of the second one.  Here is a closer look at the image.....

Here is another shot that shows the layering a little better.  I used foam adhesive to give the image a little bit of a lift and dimension......

The Happy Thanksgiving is stamped from the Speaking of Fall stamp set.  I colored my images with Copic markers.  I also like to add a little bit of white pen accents to my colored images.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and I used some bakers twine from The Twinery.  I finished off the card with some stitching with my sewing machine. 

Here is a peek at the stamp sets I used today......

Clare here with an Autumnal card today. I combined two different stamp sets from our recent release - Autumn Borders and Speaking of Fall. I love stamping my background papers and the gorgeous leaf stamps in the Speaking of Fall stamp set are perfect for this. For a change I stamped them onto some textured Core'dinations cardstock and colored with watercolors.

I stamped the pumpkin border from Autumn Borders onto some more Core'dinations cardstock, colored with watercolors and fussy cut.

The sentiment is a mix of sentiments from both Autumn Borders and Speaking of Fall. I hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for visiting today! Here are the sets I used on my card.

This is a fun set to play with. The leaves are two- or three-step stamping, depending on the look you want to achieve. First you stamp the solid color, then you stamp the outline and veins and/or the polka dots. Very cool and super easy! 

I have a set of Speaking of Fall for one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post by 8:00 pm Pacific tonight. The winner will be announced in tomorrow's post. Good luck!

The winner of Autumn Borders from all comments left on yesterday's post is...
