Thankful Squirrel

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I would like to share a card I created for my October card classes.

I started this card by creating my own pattern paper behind the squirrel.  I used the Cranberry Bliss, Oatmeal Cookie and Dark Roast colors with the leaves from the Thankful Friends set.
I then stamped the Squirrel and colored his belly with a pencil.

All supplies and products are from Fun Stampers Journey.

Thanks so much

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I want to share a card I created for my October classes.

For this card, there was no stamping.  Everything is a die cut, even the sentiment.

Here is what I used:
Leaves: Cricut Cuttlebug
Pumpkin: Spellbinders
Thanks so Much: Impression Obsession.

I also embossed the leaves with the die and then added ink over the top to bring out the veins.

Sunflower Scarecrow

Hello Crafty Friends,

To me, fall means sunflowers.  I love sunflowers with their bright colors.

I knew I needed to create with this cute little scarecrow also.  I imagined he would be in a middle of a sunflower field.

I created the background with Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock, run through the Barn Wall embossing folder and anchored on Hazelnut Blend Cardstock, all from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then added a layer of Sunflower Pattern paper from Graphic 45.  I then added some twine and some burlap.
I then colored the Scarecrow with my Copics:
Overalls: B97, B95, B93
Shirt: YR68, YR15
Sticks: E37, E35
Hay: Y19, Y15
Hat Band: Y15
Hat: E35, E33
Face: Y23, Y21
Scarf and Patch: YG95, YG93

Thanks for looking.

Pumpkin Spice Season

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is that time of year, Pumpkin Spice Season.  I thought I would create a card to celebrate.

I bought this stamp set last year as the season was ending, so I knew I needed to make a card this year.
The base of the card is made with Orange Creamsicle Cardstock and a layer of cardstock embossed with a plaid embossing folder, both from Fun Stampers Journey.

The images are from Pink and Main and I colored them with my Copic Markers.

Pumpkins: YR27, YR68, YR15
Leaves and Straw: YG99, YG97
Caramel: E37
Plastic Cups: C2, C1, C00

I finished the card by adding some twine.

Fall Leaves

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is finally starting to feel like fall in Southern California.  Even though we don't get to see many trees change colors and have the fun of running in the leaves, I can still have fun creating with leaves.

I created the background using a retired embossing folder from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then rubbed over the top with Hazelnut Blend ink.

The leaves were created using the dies set Seasonal Foliage die set from Cricut: Cuttlebug.  I die cut the leaves out and then while the paper was still in the die, I used the ink to stencil the veins on the leaves.

I then crinkled the leaves a little to make them look a little more real.

To finish the card, I tried  a knot with raffia and added a twine bow.

Pumpkins on the Fence

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I want to share one last card I created for Halloween.  I knew I wanted to make a card with pumpkins on a fence.

I love the little fence die from Fun Stampers Journey, and I knew that I wanted to use it on a Halloween card.
I stamped the pumpkins from the Jack O'Lantern stamp set in Tangerine Fusion and Orange Creamsicle Cardstock.
I completed the card with a spooky moon and a Happy Halloween Sentiment.
