Autumn Harvest

This one was fun to make. First we stamped the pumpkins with black stazon on glossy white cardstock. Then we used a white SU crayon and drew around some of the black so it would resist some of the color and create shading. Then we used ink and daubers to swirl the color on. Then we cut that piece into three and attached them to the black cardstock. This was all attached to olive cardstock. The words are from an old set. We used three black brads.

Big Bold Cupcakes

For this cute birthday card I used the Big Shot and The Big Bold Cupcakes dies. I used the solid stripe stamp with chocolate chip ink on chocolate chip cardstock for the bottoms. The tops and hearts are made from regal rose and certainly celery cardstock. I covered the tops and hearts with versamark then dipped them in iredescent ice. I heat embossed them all. The words are form A Word For You stamped with chocolate chip ink. I added a scrunched celery ribbon with glue dots at the bottom, topped with a brights button which was tied with a piece of linen thread. The white cardstock is cut 1/4 smaller all the way around and taped onto a regal rose backing.

Two Tags Halloween Treat

This started out as a simple treat holder but I kept adding one more thing. Typical! I used pumpkin pie cardstock with the Big Shot and the Two Tags die. I made an extra score line from the flat edge at 21/8. Then I stamped the words from Seasonal sentiments (mini) and colored them in with a tangerine tango marker. Then I ran that through the Big Shot using the spider web embossing folder. I punched the moon out of daffodil delight and sponged around the edge with pumpkin pie. This is held on with a dimensional. Then I punched a black bat and used the white gel pen for the eyes. He is also held on using a dimensional. I tied a narrow black grosgrain ribbon at the top. The candy bar was tricky- you have to use a flat one. This is a crunch bar.

Every Moment

The camera could not quite the beauty of this card. I think we will be making this one for our October 16th class. I stamped the woodgrain background stamp on chocolate chip with chocolate chip ink. Then I stamped the flower from Every Moment using the masking technique with black stazon. The words are from Word Play, also stamped with black stazon. I used a blender pen and the razzleberry ink pad to color in the flower petals. I used an olive marker for the stems and a daffodil marker for the centers. I punched old olive paper with the border punch and added it to the top and bottom. Then I spritzed the whole thing using a bashful blue marker. After I mounted this I added three gold brads. Then I put crystal effects over the daffodil centers. Wow... beautiful!

Baby Steps Dresser

This adorable baby card was inspired by Jackie Topa at Addicted To Stamping. She has a video that show you where to cut and score. She calls it the Side Step Dresser.  I used white and pretty in pink cardstock, subtles DSP, silver brads and the mat pack, the curly label punch, the medium oval punch, the scallop oval punch, the pinking hearts border punch, Teeny Wishes, Baby Steps, 3/8 pink taffeta ribbon, dimensionals, pretty in pink classic ink, and black stazon.
