Fall Wreath Thank You

I am LOVING the new Papertrey Ink releases, this card uses the Wreath for All Seasons set.  This set is so neat, it has 3 awesome wreath images and several senitments and a few accent images too!!  There is so much versatility with this set, its AMAZING!!  The sentiment on this card comes from the YOF: Morning Glories set. 

Again, this card was super-easy to make.  I used a PTI Terracotta Tile carstock base and die cut Spellbinders Labels 15- I sponges around the edges with Desert Sand (Memento) ink and stanped the wreath image right onto the die cut.  I stamped the dotted wreath image over the twiggy wreath and added some glittery accents (stickles).  Lastly, I tied a bit of Bakers twine around the bottom of the card, and stamped the sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous day!!

SOOO, Today is the first Monday of the month and that means: a NEW Wink Wink Ink Challenge!!!!
This month's challenge is 'BUTTONS'. Simply make anything you want: card, scrapbook page, altered item, etc and use buttons and a Wink Wink Ink image. If you'd like to play along with us, go to the Wink Wink Ink Group on the Crafter's Digital Art Center and there will be further instructions there!

My card above uses the new Seasons Tweetings Digi Stamps- the snowman fits perfectly inside the new lacey squares die from Spellbinders. I colored the image with Copic markers and added a little glittery accents on the bird and holly.

Yummy Apples!!

Hello Paper Maniacs!!


Have you seen the new APPLES set by Flourishes?? I just LOVE it!!

AND, I LOVE coloring these apples with Copics, as well as colored pencils and gamsol!

This card was super easy to make- its a red cardstock base, then I stamped the apples image onto white cardstock and cut it out with a Spellbinders Labels 17 die, and adhered to the card base. EASSSSY!!

Hope you had a fabulous fall weekend. We spent alot of time outdoors and even got lost in a corn maze!

Refuge and Strength

I just adore the newest VERVE releases!! Have you seen them yet? The stamp used here is a new Plain Jane stamp called: Psalm 46:1.  I LOVE this Psalm, there is nothing more true! I made this card with a few friends on my mind, who are going through some tough issues. I pray that they always know the truth found in this Psalm.

Ok, so what did I use to make this card??

Stamps: Verve: small flower (included as a thank you), Psalm 46:1, and Kind Words.

Papers: PTI Vintage Cream and Berry Sorbet, Core'dinations Cosmo Cricket basics (green), and Basic Grey Lemonade pattern paper.

Ink: Memento

Accessories: PTI bittons and bakers twine, Spellbinders- Labels 15.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day!!

It's Pumpkin Time

I have been having alot of fun using up some of my fall/halloween/thanksgiving stamps lately.  Usually, fall passes right by, for me, and I don't get the chance to create some FUN fall/halloween cards. 

Not this year!!  :-)

I used the PTI Stamp Sets: Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar Fall Fillers to make this eeeeeasy CAS card.  I just used a PTI White cardstock base, stamped the images right onto the cardstock and colored with Copic markers. 

I finished the card with photo corners (punched from the photo corners punch from SU!) made from Echo Park Halloween paper, and the label is punched from the PTI Friendship Jar label die on Orange Zest cardstock....and there you have it!!

Here is a close-up of the pumpkin pops! 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!

Leave No Words Unspoken

 

Hello friends!! Here is a fun CAS card I made using Verve's new release called, Dream Big.  I love the HUGE flowers in this set and the awesome sentiments included as well.  This sentiment is quite important to me: "Leave No Words Unspoken."  

That is how I try to live my life, leaving no words unspoken.  My family and friends KNOW how much I love, enjoy and adore them, and how thankful I am, that they are a part of my life.  It also works the other way- if I'm uncomfortable or disagree with something, I leave no words unspoken.  Otherwise.....thats what we call BAGGAGE, and with two kids to carry, now, I don't have room for any extra bags.  :-) 

So, very easy today, I stamped the flower stems in Memento Cottage Ivy ink, right onto the white cardstock.  Then, I inked the flowers with memento dandelion ink, and rolled the edges in a darker ink, tangelo (orange), used here.  I then placed some PTI buttons as flower centers, tied with bakers twine. The orange border is cut from the eyelet border die from PTI and the sentiment is stamped onto a Spellbinders Labels 14 die and sponged with dandelion ink. 

Thanks for stoppping by, have a wonderful day!!

Happy Fall

Hey peeps!  Here is a super duper CAS card for you today,
to welcome the first day of FALL!!
Wow, I seriously cannot believe how fast time is flying. 
Although, I must admit, I am very happy to see fall arrive,
it is one of my favorite times of the year. 
Changing colors.  Apple Picking. Pumpkin Picking.
Hayrides. Thanksgiving. Family. Friends.
LOVE all that this season brings!!!

This is just a PTI white cardstock base.  I stamped the images from PTI's Falling Leaves right onto the card.  I used the rock-and-roll technique here- which is basically inking your stamp with a lighter color then rolling the edges of the stamp in a darker color. I used orange and red memento ink here, to resemble the changing leaf colors.  The frame and sentiment are from Fillable Frames 7, again stamped right onto the cardstock.  AND, of course whats a card without some sparkle??  I added some glittery stickles to a few of the leaves.  I tied some chocolate bakers twine across the top of the card as well.  I LOVE bakers twine and LOVE to use it on my projects lately. Can you tell? LOL.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day!
HAPPY FALL!!

FWF: All You Need is LOVE

Happy Friday Unity Peeeeeeeeps!!

Seriously? It's FRIDAY, already?? wow, this week seems to have flown by!

I have a super easy card to share with you today for FWF,

with a simple, yet strong message:

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

Im a big believer in that- if you have love, you can get through, and do anything.

I kept the card to one layer- I LOVE making simple, one-layer cards lately.

Its PTI Rustic Cream cardstock with the images from the Unity August 2010 KOM stamped right onto the cardstock and colored with Copic markers.

Then, I finished off the card by tying some red baker's twine around the middle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

HUGS!!
