Happy Fall, Y'all!

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Fall is definitely upon us. It is my favourite time of year. The colours, clean smelling air and we can wear all our cute Fall fashions!!

Here is my card for this weeks challenge at Freshly made Sketches.

Freshly Made Sketches

Isn't that Squirrel just the dorkiest thing you have ever seen!! 😊

I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Bumblebee Card Stock scored at 5 1/2". I cut 2 pieces of Very Vanilla C/S, one at 4" x 1 1/2" and one at 4" x 2 3/4". Emboss both pieces using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. Attach a thin strip of Black Glitter Paper behind each of the Very Vanilla C/S layers. Glue down to the card front a strip of the Gilded Autumn DSP measuring 1 1/4" x 4". Attach the 2 Very Vanilla C/S panels to the card front using Dimensionals. Stamp the Pumpkin onto Very Vanilla C/S using Memento Black Ink and fussy cut out. I used Stampin' Blends to colour in the pumpkin. I cut a super thin strip of Mossy Meadow C/S and wrapped it around my Take A Pick Tool Paper Piercer end to curl it. Glue it behind the pumpkin. Attach pumpkin to the card front using Dimensionals. Stamp the squirrel using Soft Suede Ink, fussy cut out, attach to card front using Mini Dimensionals. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of Very Vanilla C/S using Memento Black Ink. Cut a piece of Black Glitter Paper slightly bigger and layer together. attach to card front using Dimensionals. 

Hope you enjoy todays card! I'd love to hear from you, leave me a comment!

Stay safe and happy stamping and creating!

You Are Wonderful

I joined the challenge again this week over at Freshly Made Sketches! Here is the link so you can check out all the other designers.

I decided this time to go with a nature themed card. There are so many "Wonderful" people in my life so this card will definitely be used!!

I first embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, then I cut out a "window" using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Then I cut out 2 more windows in Basic Black, and I used the leftover frame to create the shadow in the window. I think it makes the window pop and stand out more!

On another piece of Very Vanilla C/S I stamped the trees from Rooted In Nature in Garden Green, some are full strength and some are stamped off once to give depth. The frame is pop up onto the tree panel using dimensionals then mounted onto a Basic Black panel. The card base is Shaded Spruce. I stamped "You Are Wonderful" onto a Very Vanilla scrap using Early Espresso and cut around the words. I added a piece of Braided Burlap Trim and a skinny strip of Basic Black Card Stock to the front, then using glue dots attached the sentiment and a small Basic Black Bakers Twine bow. 

Below is a complete list of Stampin' Up! supplies I used to create this card. Just click on any of the supply photos and it will take you directly to my On-line store. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

LET IT RIDE

This card came together quickly! 

The card base is Early Espresso, I cut another piece of Early Espresso c/s the same size as the base and ran it through the Pinewood Planks. The art piece is Sahara Sand, the horses and trees are stamped in Memento Black with a Basic Black layer behind. I used the new Woven Threads Trim, pull away the thread and you get the nifty fringe!! A sentiment cut out with a circle punch layered with a bigger circle finishes this card off. 

Supplies Used:
Card stock: Early Espresso, Sahara Sand and Basic Black
Ink: Memento Black
Stamps: Let It Ride 
Accessories: Pinewood Planks embossing folder, Woven threads Trim, Rhinestone (coloured black with a Sharpie marker).

Happy Stamping and Creating!!
