Pretty Poinsetta

 

Pretty Poinsetta Dies were used to create this card for the inspiration challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments for this week. I love these dies and combined them with a retired stamp set for the sentiment. I also used another new item the Timeless Herringbone Embossing Folder. This folder is great because you can use it for so many cards and it just give them a little more texture. 

The sentiment is gold embossed on one of the Sweet Word & Label Dies. I also love this die set as a stand alone die set and is useful for so many things. I hope you get a chance to create from this fun inspiration challenge today!

Radiant Sunflower

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge has my creativity really going. I have enjoyed seeing what I can create with the images I have on my desk. Today's card began with the flower from the Radiant Sunflower Bundle that I had colored a while ago and didn't know how I wanted to use it. I also used a new Herringbone Embossing Folder (avail in Nov). 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Shining Stars

 

I have been wanting to play with the new product of the month, Shining Stars Dies and so I used the  Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for this card. I used a few retired products to create my star-studded card! I like the fun colors and always like when I can pull out some of my retired items and use them. Hope this inspires you today!

Radiant Sunflower Bundle

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments has a fun new sketch for this week! It was a challenge for me since I don't really use a lot of layers on my cards and even though I love all the pattern paper I feel like when I put it all together it looks off. But I am really proud of this card and the way that it turned out. I used the Radiant Sunflower Bundle, the Sunflower Embossing Folder (get it before it is gone, its in the last chance section) and Woodgrain Wonders Dsp. I hope you have a time to play with this sketch! I look forward to seeing how you layer it all up! I have a few more ideas so check back this week.

Blessings!

gourd-geous!

 

Back again today with kind of another scene card. I did use Painted Pumpkins again however I added a few of the Radiant Sunflowers dies. I heat embossed my pumpkins on watercolor paper and then used ink refills and water to color my pumpkins. For the sunflowers I die cut them with watercolor paper and then spritzed with clean water and smooshed on ink. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Blessings!

Painted Pumpkin Scene

 

Are you tired of seeing cards with the Painted Pumpkin Bundle? When I start stamping with a set or bundle I get so many ideas that I just keep creating cards. For this card I created a little scene with a hill in the front and the gate behind. I love the scene cards that Kelly Taylor creates, matter of fact she has a few scene card classes that are fantastic! (One is even live tomorrow!) I highly recommend her classes and videos! She is gifted at explaining how to create such cute cards! 

For my card I ink blended the background and then stamped and die cut the Painted Pumpkin images. There are also stencils that you can ink blend the color onto your pumpkins, I did that on these. I added color with stampin' blends to the other items. 

Have a blessed day!

Hey Pumpkin!

 

Hello! Here is another version of the card I created yesterday using the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. Today for the background I used watercolor paper and smooshed the timid tiger and cajun craze ink. When it completely dried I stamped the pumpkins and vines with misty moonlight ink. For the sentiment I stamped the "hey" with misty moonlight and added a pumpkin from the die set. I used the everyday arches on it's side for the greeting. 

I look forward to seeing your creations with these 3 colors!

Painted Pumpkin

 

When I saw the colors for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge I thought of the Painted Pumpkin Bundle. I created a background with first ink blending the colors from the challenge on white cardstock and then added some splatter. I stamped the images with black ink. I die cut a few pumpkins and vines and then ink blended them with timid tiger and cajun craze ink. For the title I stamped "hey" with misty moonlight ink and then die cut the letters from misty moonlight cardstock with the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I hope you are enjoying crafting in the fall! I can't wait to see what you create with these fun fall colors.
