Cookie Cutter Halloween fall card

Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share today is a card I came up with for our monthly card class.  Two of my friends and I each design cards once per quarter for our club and this month is my turn.  I love the Halloween Cookie Cutter set and coordinating punch.  My base is Crumb Cake and layered with a piece of Rich Razzleberry that has been embossed with the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions folder.  This folder gives a great impression and I love the look.  My scarecrow is stamped on Shimmery White with Stazon ink.  For the embellishment on the card I used the Layering Squares Framelits, in Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper and Dapper Denim, along with half of a delicate white doily and some burlap ribbon.  My greeting was stamped using two different stamp sets; Grateful Bunch and Banners for You.  I used the Dapper Denim marker and colored only the section of the stamp image I wanted to come up with a whole new greeting.  The greeting was cut using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits.  Some enamel shapes finish off the card.

Fall Fest - team color challenge

 

Hello, welcome to my blog.  Today my card is based on the color combo I did for our Team Facebook page

The colors scream Halloween to me, but I wanted to do something different.  I got out my Fall Fest stamp set as well as For All Things.  My base is whisper white with a layer of basic black that measures 5 1/4 X 4, the next layer is the whisper white dsp in the paper stack.  This layer measures 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.  The next layer of basic black is 2 3/4 x 2 3/4.  My white squares are 1".  I stamped the different leaves in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry.  the banner for the greeting was stamped in Old Olive using the For All Things stamp set and then the greeting from the same set was stamped in Rich Razzleberry.  A little sponging on the squares finishes off my card.  Thanks for stopping by.

Mingle all the Way

Hello, welcome back.  My share today is the card I made for our team color challenge.  The challenge was to use Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  I used the sketch over at Clean & Simple to get me started.  My base is daffodil delight and then I layered a piece of pumpkin pie on the base.  Prior to gluing them together, I used the Cajun craze washi tape from Color Me Autumn and the Old Olive from Santa & Co..  I used my paper piercer to do two rows of pierced dots.  I used the whisper white 1/4" cotton ribbon and sponged it with soft suede.  The stamp sets I used are Good Greetings and Mingle All The Way.

November 2013 pages

This month for my scrapbook class I wanted to do fall/Thanksgiving pages. I participated in scrapbook page swaps at convention and got my basic idea from a fellow demonstrator.  Of course I switched it up a bit, but the background stamping was what drew me to these pages.  I love how they turned out.

My supplies:

card stock:  Whisper White, Soft Sky, Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip

dsp: Sweater Weather

stamp sets:  Gently Falling

ink: Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky Tangerine Tango

accessories:  Expression thinlits, Autumn Accents die (for my leaves I sprayed them with water and crumpled them up.  after they were dried I sponged with the same color), Hung Up Cute Clips

Very simple pages, but love the look of them.
