Fall Cards

 Happy Saturday!

Just popping in with some cards that I created using a mixture of old and new products created for some challenges. 

I had fun creating this using a bunch of stuff from my stash. I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #703 and the Inspired By #353 Challenge as my inspiration.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp!, and the embossing folder is Falling Leaves from Spellbinders.

My second card I used this weeks Color Throwdown #840 and CAS on Friday#317-Fall.

I had fun using the Postage Stamps Folder and Dies from Spellbinders.

Once again I used the same embossing folder by Spellbinders. The ginkgo leaves are from The Greetery. 

I ink blended the leaves with Distress Ink in Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint.

My last card I created because I had extra ginkgo and the rectangle frame on my desk.

The sentiment is from PinkFresh Studio. The pattern paper is from Newton's Nook.

Not sure I like the orange paper for my sentiment but the other colors I tried just didn't look great. This was the best of the worse.

Well, that is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

A NEW Challenge-Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #625

Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #625 is a COLOR challenge-PASTEL COLORS. I am not going to lie, this was a tough one form me. I rarely use pastel colors and do not have too many of them.

I dug out my Spellbinders Fresh Picked Anemones dies that I have had in my stash but never used. I die cut the flower from pastel yellow and orange scraps and the leaves from a pastel yellow/green scrap of cardstock.

I adhered the flowers to an A2, kraft card front that I covered with a panel that I had embossed with the Honey Bee Linen Embossing folder. I could have used a pastel but thought the kraft looked better with the lighter colors. The struggle for me was real!!

I then used foam adhesive to adhere a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps CZ Designs Good Vibes stamp/die set. My last step was to adhere pastel yellow gems across the card front.

Another Snowman Card

(Some links in the post are Affiliate Links used at no extra cost to you.)

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Happy Sunday! I am popping in with another card for some challenges.

The challenges that inspired this card are The Sketch n' Scrap Challenge and I used the sketch #238 for my card. I also was inspired by The Color Throwdown #839 and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Stitch it.

The "stitches" are created using a Spellbinders Winter Borders die set. I used the colors in a lighter shade of aqua on my card instead of the dark color.

The pattern paper is Penny Black's Festive & Frosty Pad. The embossed background I created using Spellbinders Seaside Cardstock and a Simon Says Stamp! Snowflake Visions embossing folder. I then brushed some Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink over the top.

The snowman is the Village Snowman die from Simon Says Stamp. The polka dot pattern paper is from my stash and I die cut it using a Pinkfresh Studio die set. 

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Like my ruler card from last week, I layered the pencil image over and over in a row. I then colored the pencils in with Copic Markers in rainbow order.

I adhered the panel to a red, A2 card front. I then glued a strip of red gingham pattern paper 1/4" way down from the top of the white panel and added a die cut sentiment from the Spellbinder's Every Day Sentiment Set.

My last step was to add some Glossy Accents to the pencil erasers and the circles on the “metal” part and this card was done.
