Cards from World Card Making Day!

Here are the cards I made this weekend as part of World Card Making Day.

supplies: white card, Doodlebug orange Buffalo Check patterned paper, PinkFresh Studio Daisy Wreath stencil set, Altenew Golden Sunset, Lime, and Fresh Leaf inks, Simon Blender Brushes, sentiment from Hello BlueBird Pumpkin Time, copper sequins, adhesive foam to lift large daisies

October is one of my favorite months, so I gathered some of my favorite supplies together for this card.  I'd like to enter this one into PinkFresh Studio's World Card Making Day Challenge.

Next is my first play with The Greetery's Cozy Cup stamps and dies.  They were released in 2019, but I just was able to grab them thanks to a recent Card of the Week post and sale that Betsy does every Monday.  I love my coffee, but don't have many stamps to prove it, so this one can be checked off my wishlist.  I thought I'd do it up in fall colors for its first outing.  There's a sentiment for that in the set.

supplies: white card, a MFT heart patterned paper, Cozy Cup stamps and matching dies and Cozy Cup Coaster die, altenew inks, twine

And finally, a card using just a few of the supplies in the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit.

supplies: white card base, black and fall colors from Assorted Card Fronts pack, Friend Outline die, Kaleidoscope embossing folder

I cut 1/2" strips from white and 5 of the fall-colored cardstock panels in the assorted pack, and wove them together.  That panel was then put into the Kaleidoscope embossing folder for some "quilted" texture, before I matted it onto black, and then onto the card front.  To finish I used the friend die in the kit.

The idea for this design comes from a sampler quilt I made in the 1990's that had blocks scattered throughout which spelled out "welcome home".  Here's a picture of it.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great week!

Stencils and Stitches and Gingham, Oh My!

I have 2 cards today using my Floral Notes layering stencils.  

The first one is a birthday card.

supplies: white cardstock, PinkFresh Studio Floral Notes slim stencils, Altenew mini ink cubes and blender brushes, PinkFresh Studios Stitches Background cover plate die, sentiment from Heffy Doodle Bold Banner Sentiment stamps and dies, enamel dots for flower centers

This set of layering stencils is made for a slim-line card, (see THIS card) but I only used about 2/3 of it for today's card.  I cut it out and layered it over this pretty stitched background, and then just added a banner sentiment and some enamel dots in the large flowers.  

Next, I used the other end of the floral spray, stencilling 2 of them in yellows, then cutting them out to frame up my sentiment.  I liked them against this happy buffalo check.

supplies: white cardstock, yellow dp from Doodlebug Buffalo Check/Wood Grain paper pad, PinkFresh Studio Floral Notes layering stencils, Altenew Fresh Lemon, Snapdragon, and Lime mini inks, a fine-tip pen, Simon's Beautiful Day sentiment, Stitched Oval die, adhesive foam squares

This time I doodled/outlined the images with a fine-tip marker before cutting them out.

Enjoy your weekend, thanks so much for stopping by.

Simon Says.......Let It Snow!

Happy Wednesday - welcome to our challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

 

Our theme this week is "Let it Snow!", and my teamies and I are showcasing Lawn Fawn goodies!  Here's the card I made.

supplies: white cardstock, silver glitter card, Doodlebug and an unknown buffalo check  patterned papers, Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake dies, Memory Box (retired) Let it Snow dies, glittery silver ribbon and silver sequins

I die-cut 2 snowflakes, from 3 different colored and white dps, and also a white ring using 2 circle dies.  The flakes were layered, topped with a silver sequin, and then arranged around the ring before popping it above my buffalo check background.  I added a silver bow and my sentiment cut from silver glitter card to finish.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate
