Thanks

I'm so glad it's officially fall. Don't you? To celebrate,  lol. I made this fall card although I'm two day's late,oh well ( I forgot).

Actually I'm under the weather  but still wanted to 

 play and I remembered I had this fun solid stamp set,  so I made a simple fall card. I hope you like it.

Happy Tuesday!

Made my first Sugar skull card in honor of Dia De Los Muertos (translation Day of the Dead).

I  downloaded a free Rose ( flower) cut file from Sugcuts.com.  The skull, flowers and leaves are from my Brothers Scan and cut built in designs. The background was previously made with distressed inks. 

I used several colors of cardstock trying to match colors up since some  flowers are layering pieces. Added gems and dotted white dots around the skull with a gel pen. Oh and I used Sizzix Brite-Ons shimmering paper for the Skull. Simple colorful and fun.

I hope you like it.

Boo!

Hi Happy Saturday!

Stayed up last night coloring up these cute Halloween critters. What can I say 

I'm in the mood for fall.

I was inspired by Jess McAfee recent video tutorial. 

I did a light wash of water over my cardstock (background) picked up some distressed Crayons I had scribbled onto an acrylic block.

Went back and forth several times , then picked up an additional color ( let dry). Went to darkened the top portion of the background. Then I die cut my spooky trees  and hill out( i also shaded in the hill).

Embossed the sentiments , glued the trees overlapping one, hill and the rest of the cute critters and accessories. Almost forgot to mention that I  went over the trees with a white gel pen .

I hope you like it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello, hope your doing great

Sharing a card I made from a giveaway I won from Reverse Confetti Instragram giveaway. Stamp set called

School days.

This is pretty simple. I distressed the background for a dirt road and grass. Masking  each side off using a curvy border stencil.

I then die cut a piece of cardstock using a medium size rectangle die ,trimming the edges and bottom off. Making it look like a photo frame. 

Trimmed my background to size, added foam tape to the photo frame. Placed my colored images to it then adhered to a card base.

I hope you like it.

Trick or treat

Hi everyone! You probably know by now that 

I'm unable to interact on my instragram account (I have a action time ban).

Why? I do not know. For now I'll  make sure to post here as I cannot their, except in my stories. 

It literally makes me mad and sad! (sorry for the rant)

In the meantime I want to share a Halloween card with you. 

I started off by masking a large circle for a moon, so I can make a distressed background.

I die cut the tree and grass. Colored & cut the cute critter images with my( Scan and cut).

Then I adhered the main scene (tree and grass)with clear glue, used 3d foam squares for the cute critters.

Welcome back!

Happy Thursday! Hope you are having a great week so far. 

My take on the Back to School challenge over at Lawn fawn. Also for the Shopping our Stash challenge -  #428 Color challenge and as usual over at Simon Says Stamps Instagram monthly challenge- Stamp it. 

Come play along!

Went through my pile (lol), of stash.  Pulled out what I believe I could use for this project.  I knew I wanted a rainbow " of something " but I wasn't sure of what at that point.

Stamped out multiple images, colored them and die cut them out.

I cut a top panel of an older lawn fawn's fall 6x6 paper pad to an A2 in size. 

I also die cut two additional pieces for the floor border and the floor. One in white and the other from the background woodgrain  stamp in the color gray. 

I adhered the images some overlapping each other.  No rhyme or reason just placing them around randomly. I hope you like it. Until next time.

All paper, stamp set products are from Lawn fawn with the exception of the border floor die MFT.

Color Challenge #428

Happy harvest!

                 

 Happy Labor day crafty friends. 

This card was inspired by fall.

I'm linking it up to the (new to me)Time out challenges and Lil Patch of Crafty friends challenges in addition to my normal challenges of Simon Says stamps Wednesday weekly challenge. 

  This card came together pretty quickly and  very easy to make.

     I did some ink blending with my fav medium of distressed inks for the top panel and the portion for the grass. Using a cloud stencil for the sky.

I'm back! Sharing a slim line card I started to make sometime ago and I finally finished it. Yay, lol.

I used a branch stencil for the entire background. This was after I laid down an entire coat of distressed ink first. By that time I already had a piece of a grassy hill. I adhered it to the top panel. Then the colored images including the cut file of the Butterfly.

I'm back with a very CAS card. I hope everyone is doing well. 

I wanted to play along the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge Plus I wanted to play with a well loved stamp set.

I colored the images with both  distressed inks & with Prismacolor pencils, for a lil shadowing. 

Die cut the top panel with a border die. ( I think that's what its call).

I then stamped the border in a stripe as you see here. Trimmed both peices to make a 5.5  top panel.

Yeah that's pretty much what I did.
