Autumn

 Hello everyone, today I have a sweet Autumn card made for I Brake For Stamps using the Beautiful Fall Half Sheet of stamps. I love the little pumpkins and the sentiment from this collection.

Pumpkins were stamped in Black Soot distressed ink, and colored with stampinup markers. Next I fussy cut 2 out, to place on my dp sheet. I also stamped the sentiment in the same ink, and stamped directly on my design paper layer. I used the Mini Misti to stamp, love using this tool!

My card today was a simple one. 2 laers,bow, and popped up the pumpkins. :)

To view all fall stamps, please visit the I Brake For Stamps Store here!
Hope you have a lovely day, and thank you for looking!
hugs to all,

WITH Caring THOUGHTS

 Hello everyone,
Today I have a super sweet card made for JustRite Papercrafts using a combination of New Releases. Love the beautiful JustRite Classy Frame and Die Tag. Of course I just had to use my favorite color on this one :)

Today's post is a super short one, as I just got back from Montana, I went with my mom to a Doll Conference and we had a lot of fun there!

My JustRite Large Oval Sympathy was stamped in Memento black ink on the small tag, and I then ran some RRR through the back of it. Next I added some Sweetheart Blossoms and a Big bow created using Ribbon  from Really Reasonable Ribbon, its a Satin in white. The pearls were created using Viva Pearl pen in white. I wanted to keep this post short and sweet as its an extra post for this week :)

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Polar Pals Postcard

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today's Post Card or Present tag was designed for I Brake for Stamps using the super cute Polar Pals stamp. I LOVE this sweet stamp, and coloring it was super fun and easy!

I stamped my Polar Pals stamp in black soot ink on this post card that was cut out of a design paper sheet. I colored up the little ones top and hat with 2 different red copics R37 & 39. The bow on the Polar Bear was done in copics G05 & YG03. Pants were done using a Brown E57, and then boots in 100 black.

I stamped I Brake for Stamps "Merry Christmas" in Black soot too! Lastly I added some stickles to the heart, and then the wings and hat on the Polar Pals image.

Ribbon is Emerald shimmer satin, from Really Reasonable Ribbon and then I added a little silver glitter stardust rhinestone.

 How super fun & Easy this was to create. Without the bow, it could be sent in the mail. However I think its perfect for a large gift for Christmas

Thank you for looking!!

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.

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.
