Autumn Birthday Card and my fur helper.

 Autumn Birthday Card And My Fur Helper

Now that Fall is in the air I decided to design a Fall birthday card for the weekly challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. Be sure to check out all the other amazing designs HERE.

I used the beautiful "Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series  Paper" as the main focus for my card. With so many amazing Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers to choose from, let them do all the work for you!

I started with a card base of Rich Razzleberry Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

I cut a layer of Rich Razzleberry C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and embossed it using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. 

Rub a small amount of VersaMark Ink onto the Rich Razzleberry Card Stock layer onto the left side, top and bottom. Apply some Heat and Stick Powder, heat set just until it turns shiny. Apply some Gilded Leafing.  I use a stiff paintbrush. I love the subtle gold shimmer it adds!

Cut a piece of Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" and a piece of Basic Black C/S to 3 3/8" x 4 5/8". Attach the DSP to the Basic Black C/S layer. Attach to the right side of the card base using Dimensionals.

Stamp a greeting using VersaMark Ink onto a Basic Black C/S strip, emboss using Gold Embossing Powder. Flag cut one end. Add Dimensionals to the back.

Loop some Gold Simply Elegant Trim, attach it to the card and add the sentiment strip over top. 

I think this would make a great birthday card for anyone celebrating a Fall birthday!

We just returned from a lovely visit with my parents in beautiful Sointula B.C. 

We had to wake up at 3:30 am to catch a Ferry over to Vancouver Island......the up side was seeing this amazing sunrise!!!

This is the spectacular view from my parents home in Rough Bay, Sointula. 

My fur helper, Lola, chilling on a log....I guess it was comfortable?

Sointula has lots of deer roaming around. We love going for deer drives to check them all out, city folks!! LOL!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!!!

Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper

 Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper

I just love the adorable critters featured on the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper! The best part is that this paper is FREE with a $60.00 order!

There is a matching stamp set, Penguin Place with a coordinating punch, Penguin Builder Punch, but I don't have it so I decided to use the DSP to create my card. 

Aren't they just adorable!!!

I started with a card base of Misty Moonlight Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4", cut 2.

Cut a piece of Basic White Card Stock and a piece of the Penguin Place Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4". Cut both pieces on the diagonal. This will be enough for 2 cards. 

*Tip: When cutting the DSP, watch for any patterns that have a direction to them. 

(I embossed the Basic White triangle. After I realized it is a retired folder. Lots of our embossing folder would work, Evergreen Forest, Wintery 3D or Star Crossed Embossing Folders.)

Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue attach both of the triangles to the card front.

Die cut 2 trees from the Christmas Trees Dies in Misty Moonlight. Glue to the cards.

Fussy cut 3 critters from the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper. Using glue and/or Dimensionals, attach them to the cards. 

I used my printer to print out the sentiment. I needed a few "Across The Miles" cards and I didn't have any stamps that said that. Attach to the cards using Dimensionals.

I added some Subtle Shimmer Sequins to one of the cards to finish it off. Have fun making some of your own critter cards!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Merriest Moments Christmas Card

 Merriest Moments Christmas Card

The Merriest Moments Bundle with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder makes such beautiful cards with ease! Die cut the frame then pop it into the matching embossing folder and you have this beautifully detailed die cut!

 I stamped the sentiment using Soft Succulent Ink in the centre of the frame. This stamp set has beautiful sentiments! Then using Basic White Card Stock I stamped two poinsettias using Polished Pink Ink, two leaves using Soft Succulent Ink and a Pale Papaya centre. I die cut them out with the same Merriest Moments Bundle and added them to the card. I splattered some Wink Of Stella over the frame and added a few Rhinestones. I attached the frame to a 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" Basic White card base. 

This card would be beautiful with just the frame or you can decorate it by adding the poinsettia flowers in any colour. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
