Christmas Past Card

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon  & I Brake For Stamps Victorian Santa. I LOVE this Santa as he is absolutely Beautiful!!!

For my card today I chose to use Graphic45 Old Christmas Past design paper, and the Kiwi Shimmer Satin works PERFECT with this collection. The Red card stock is from SU! (Riding hood red), the green is AC and is one of the colors from the  assorted packs.

 

The flowers are the Mulberry Flowers Wild Orchid Crafts that RRR Carries and are the Cherry Blossom flowers in Mixed Red/white, I also used the 30mm green leaves.

 

I created my bow doing 4 loops on each side, then hot glued the loops together and created this cluster with flowers and leaves. Love the way it looks together.

 

My Victorian Santa Stamped image is from I Brake For Stamps and is colored using copic markers Y28,C1, R00,E57,E93,B18,R85,RV34,RV11,RV21,R39,R37,YG67,E15,E37,E31,B41. I also used stickles in Crystal ice, and cotton candy. Lastly I embellished the corners with green gems. Stitching was done with red thread.

 

 Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I absolutely love decorating up the inside & outside of my home.

Challenges:
Love to Scrap/Flower power(2 or more flowers)
Sparkle N Sprinkle/anything goes with glitter

This months ribbon assortment is absolutely DARLING!!! It's perfect not only for Halloween , but Thanksgiving(orange, and greens), and other holidays as well. The selection is one of my many favorites!!!

Ok for todays super fun project I used this

Mini Clipboard Post-it thing,I picked up years ago, and decorated it up using the ribbons in this months assortment. I also used the Mini Ric Rac that is from Really Reasonable Ribbon as well. I made a bow out of the green, and then did a strip of the purple to place under the green. They are hot glued to the metal clip part of this :)

Next I added JustRite Papercrafts Joy Oval Frame dies.

Next I used the mini misti to stamp The Project Bin Haunt it sentiment on here. I did the Ombre Stamping using the Mini Misti and LOVE how easy it is to use. I have a video on that here.

 

The dies are oldies from CC dies.  I also added a button, and a feather to complete my project for today :)

Pumpkin Patch

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I'm sharing a card I created for I Brake For Stamps and Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge. On my card I used the super beautiful pumpkins from the I Brake for Stamps "Fall Half Sheet'! I am LOVING all the beautiful fall stamps on this sheet! I will post a photo and another link below to the sheet :)

 

While I love fall, I am going to miss our hot summer :( I have to be honest I LOVE the heat verses the cold. I do love all the colors for fall, so I will enjoy that :)

 

 So my card for today measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"
Layer 1- black cut at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" then orange pumpkin patch design paper at 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Layer 2-( border layer) cut at 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" orange, then the design paper is cut at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", next I cut borders and placed them behind. Also added some gem strips I cut from a thick trim.
Layer 3- 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" black, then dp is cut at 4" x 3".

I Brake for Stamps Fall Stamps were stamped in tim holtz distress ink black soot, and then colored with copics YR16,YR68 , YG05 YG13, and E31 I then fussy cut them out.

Next the Oh Bountiful Season was stamped again in Black Soot, and then cut out. I dusted with Black soot, and spiced marmalade distressed inks. I used the Judikins dusters to do this.

Flowers - JustRite Trio One dies I have a video on the flowers I created here on my blog.

Branches were punch out and hot glued on with the handmade flowers. I do have a video tutorial on this here on my blog.
