Amber Autumn Bundle

 


As fall quickly comes to an end I wanted to share another card I created with the Amber Autumn Bundle. I also included Branching Out Dies. I hope you enjoy and that you are inspired to create something fun today!












Coffee!

 


Who remembers this adorable designer series paper? I couldn't resist creating this card inspired by the sketch at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! I love coffee and was so sad to see this paper and stamp bundle retire. It is one that I will always keep. What bundles, dies or stamps will you never get rid of?
Hope you join the fun and create with retired items or have some new items you want to give this sketch a try and share your card over at Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge!







Sweet Animals

 


I forgot how adorable this designer series paper is until I was cleaning out the day and I had to use it! Do you have paper that you filed away, pull it out and join the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. This card came together so quickly, and I just adore it and the colors are so fun for a holiday card. 
Hope you are inspired to join along!


Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #476

 


Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge sketch is so creative! In the next couple days I will share a few ideas with retired papers and items. I have been cleaning out retired papers and found so many papers that I love and decided to play with them. I did use a few current items for my cards. I hope you enjoy and it inspires you to go through your retired stash and create! 










Lord Bless You!

 


Just a quick little card I created today to Bless you on a Friday! Have a great day! 
(sorry we have had a lot of cloudy days and trying to get a good picture was a struggle)

More for the color challenge

 


I have been waiting to use this gorgeous new Embossing Folder and this color challenge was the perfect thing I was looking for. The best part was the Traditional Wreath EF is so large I was able to create 2 cards!


After I embossing the image I colored with Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends. I cut it in half and adhered one to another embossed piece and added a retired sentiment that I thought was pretty close to Secret Sea.

For the other half I started with a piece of Pool Party Cardstock and ink blended with Secret Sea Ink on the edge, leaving a light hallow. I used a gold watercolor to add my spatter. The greeting is from a retired set of greetings. 
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are joining the challenge!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge 475

 



Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge has a color combo that I found kind of interesting. I would not have thought of putting these colors together, yet I am so happy with the card that came from the challenge. I used the Branching Out Dies for my card. I love that not only this die set has nesting shapes but also branches and berries. I die cut the pieces in white cardstock and then colored with Stampin'
 Blends. For the background I used a blender brush to apply my ink and did a few splatters. 
I hope you get a chance to try these colors out! I have a few more ideas for you this week, so check back! 


Stretching Supplies with Amber Autumn Dies

 


For today's card I wanted to use the leaf from the Amber Autumn Bundle to create a wreath. I wet a piece of water color paper and then smooshed yellow and greens on the paper. I love how fun and simple that is. I was able to die cut so many leaves. When these leaves die cut the center is also cut out, I did not want to waste these pieces, so I also added them to create a little fuller wreath. 
The greeting was die cut with the Textured Notes Dies and I added a few retired dots for bling.
Let me know how you like to stretch your supplies?



Autumn is in the air

 


Just a quick post to show you one of the cards I created with the Amber Autumn Bundle. I have had so much fun coloring this set and I have so many ideas to show you. I also used the Branching Out Dies for the background. Those dies are a must! 
I pray you are having a great day and get to create something that brings you joy and you can share with others.  Thanks for stopping by!

Notes & Totes

 


I have not given my Notes & Totes Dies a lot of love lately and so I had to create a fall inspired bag. I used the Amber Autumn Bundle for my card along with the Branching Out Dies for the background. Since I had a lot going on with the bag I kept the background all white and used the Perfectly Plaid Embossing Folder on the outer layer. I used a water painter and ink refills to color the large fall image and then I did a smooshing technique for the leaves in the bag. 
I hope this inspired you to create a fun fall bag today!




Grateful

 


I love this greeting from the Amber Autumn Bundle. I am truly grateful for all of you who visit my blog. I have so much fun creating card and can't wait to share them with you. 
My card today was colored with watercolor pencils and blender pen. I used the Country Wood DSP and Textured Notes Dies to cut out the main image. I finished it off again with a few of my favorite retired sequins. 
Thank you again for stopping by and I do really appreciate you!


Keep it Simple

 


This card was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and how to keep a card simple. You do not have to color your line art images to have a beautiful card. For this challenge I stamped the image with the Saddle Brown Staz On Ink Pad and thought I would color with watercolor pencils and blender pen but after I stamped it I liked it the way it was. So I combined it with a piece of Woven Textured DSP, cut the image out with the Spotlight On Nature Dies and white heat embossed the greeting on Early Espresso Cardstock. I finished it with a few sequins and that was it. 
I hope this inspires you to let the line art do the work for you and make a quick and easy card!
