No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin Alternative Boots & Flowers

The March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit, No Matter the Weather, Is so cute and the artwork is amazing AND it came with a whole set of free stamps! Happy Anniversary Paper Pumpkin!

~Enjoy!

The background for this card front was so gloomy, and after the suggested stamps of adding more grey clouds was too much gloom for me, so I decided to brighten it up! I cut off the card base & added it a piece if A2 sized Smokey Slate. I added the water rain drops stamped in Smokey Slate as well. I matted the card front on white & added a border of dies cut from the Be Mine Stitched Heart Framelits and a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. The artwork is all popped up and the bow is a piece of retired Silver & White Bakers Twine. This is definitely more cheery!

Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Sunset

This card uses one of my favorite elements from any Paper Pumpkin ever, the colorwash sunset from the September 2019 Paper Pumpkin: Gift of Fall Add On.

~Enjoy!

This card starts off with a piece of Merry Merlot background paper. Then I ran the card base provided with the Gift of Fall Add On through the embossing machine with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. I then lightly sanded the top of the sunset paper to expose the white core of the paper. I scruffed up the edges of the paper and added a few additional sprigs cut from Merry Merlot, Crushed Curry & the Leaf Punch. The sentiment is stamped with Merry Merlot and layered over Silver Glimmer Paper

The whole thing is then topped off with a double bow made from the Linen Thread. I also made a version of this using Pumpkin as a background and Gold Glimmer Paper under the sentiment.

Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Wreath

This was one of the first cards I tackled - what was I going to do with all of those little tiny leaves? I love how it came out but it was definitely a labor of love!

~Enjoy!

Let's start with the easy part, the background. I embossed a piece of Blackberry Bliss with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, layered with a piece of white & 2 trimmed down pieces of the Gift of Fall add on cards with the Pretty Peacock Wreath removed. The sentiment is stamped with Blackberry Bliss & layered over a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made with the Linen Thread.

Now let's talk about those leaves! I trimmed assorted leaves with several papers and the Leaf Punch to match the Blackberry Bliss & Pretty Peacock leaves that came with the kit. The Crushed Curry ones came from the envelope flaps and then I supplemented some plain Blackberry Bliss ones from cardstock. With the Gift of Fall add on cards, I used some of the Crumb Cake card bases and ran them through my embossing machine with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder and then sanded the tops of the paper lightly to release the white core. Lastly, I punched some leaves with Whisper White & added some Ice Stampin' Glitter crystals adhered with Shimmery Crystal Effects.

Tasteful Textures on All Black

What a surprise! A Bonus craft day with my friend Tracy. We usually only get together once a month, but the stars aligned for us, so we went for it! We created 3 projects this day and this was the second one.

~Enjoy!

We decided on a sketch challenge Tracy wanted to participate in as well as an "All black" challenge. We chose the colors from the sketch challenge with the big exception that the background had to be black. The colors we used were Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Whisper White. We both were excited to use the Tasteful Textures bundle. Wait until you see Tracy's card! We only decide on a few elements & then let the day take us where it will - this time it shocked both of us with the results!

The background is new technique, at least for me, where you take a die and cut repeatedly on the background to create a faux embossed pattern, while keeping all the little die cut pieces in place. I really like the effect and this is the second time I have used it. See my Sailing Home example!

Here is the Sketch challenge image and other inspiration from the All Black challenge.

4th of July - #simplestamping

One more #simplestamping idea I had to get out of my head, maybe since the 4th of july just passed and it was America's birthday!

~Enjoy!

This flag is created with Pacific Point and Real Red and the sentiment is again from Itty Bitty Birthdays. Although cute on its own, it was time to dress it up!

As I started to build this card up, it was still not feeling right to me, so I decided it needed some grunge lovin'. I tore up the edges with my scissors, and added Early Espresso ink. I covered up the sentiment with a piece of paper & ran the whole flag through with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The stars are cut from Pacific Point and the retired Confetti Stars Border Punch, that piece is then layered over Silver Glimmer Paper for a little sparkle - what is 4th of July without sparkle? The banner is hand cut and edged in the same ways the card base is done and the whole thing is topped with the Night of Navy / Sahara Sand Baker's Twine. I really like how this one came out!

Digital Retreat August #3 - Very Versailles - #simplestamping

For the second card of the Very Versailles / #simplestamping project, we worked on the leaves creeping up. This card was inspired by this card. We loved the dark colors with the delicate background. One small problem, this was a #simplestamping project first and foremost, so we have to really eliminate some items.

~Enjoy!

We kept the balance of colors by choosing Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Basic Gray all stamped on Whisper White. This one is pretty much CASEd from the background of the inspiration card. and that is where we left it. I think it is very pretty for a #simplestamping card, but I just cannot leave well enough alone!

For the stepped up version, I first embossed the background with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Then I added the vellum leaves as Melissa did, but they just did not stand out enough for me so I decided to go with Silver Glimmer Paper and the Flourish Dies to get something more delicate and not very heavy. We added clear embossing to the background circle with the baroque frame from the set. It is topped off with a hand cut banner & the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set. I added some Silver Metallic Thread and topped it off with a Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon knot. The finishing touch is a few sequins from a retired sequin pack in what I think is Sweet Sugarplum.
