Welcome Autumn

Good morning everyone!!  Today I would like to share a card that I made using Sparkle N Sprinkle's new Welcome Autumn stamp set.  

The image was stamped and colored using copic markers and fussy cut out.  

Using a glue pen some sparkle was added to the image using Sparkling Snow on the cats, butterflies and bird. Autumn Medley on the pumpkins, and Green Iris  on the white pumpkin.

The grass and leaves were die cut and inked.  

The banner was die cut and stamped with the sentiment.  

For the sunflower I used the Sunflower stamp set.  The flower was stamped with black ink and fussy cut out.  The center of the flower was filled in with dimensional glue and Bronze Splendor glitter was added.

For the rest of the flower Evening Glow glitter was applied using a glue pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by, if you would like more details, please visit my SNS Gallery.

Have a wonderful day and remember.....Keep Stamping!

It's Going To Be A Princess and Pirate Party

Hi all!!  I hope you all are having a great day.  Just put the finishing touches on the party favor boxes, hats and birthday cards for my twin grand babies Andy and Alyssa!!  They will be turning 4 on the 15th of October and will be having their party this weekend.  Here is a look at their invite!

Each pirate and princess will get one of these!

Eat Drink and Be Scary

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!  Just wanted to share my card that I gave a sneak peek of last week during Sparkle N Sprinkle's Oct. Reveal.  This card is using the new Witches Brew stamp set!

I used an embossing folder for the spider web background.  Inked the embossing with a purple ink.  Layered it onto black CS.  Using a white gel pen I added dots.  For that pretty sparkle around the edges I used Berry Pudding Tinsel Glitter.  This glitter is so Pretty!!

 I stamped my witch image once on white CS, a 2nd time on DP and a 3rd time on DP.  I cut out section of the image from the DP and glue it on top of the image on white CS.  I finished coloring the remaining parts of the image with copic markers.  She was fussy cut out.

Using Halloween DP, I created a cute little banner for the top of my card and topped it off with a bow.  A small strip of Diamond Mesh was added to the top.

I cut an oval using Spellbinder's Fancy Ovals, stamped the sentiment with versamark and embossed using Black Detail EP.  For the glitter around the oval, I used brushable glue lightly brushed around the edges and alternated Purple Fusion. Spirited Green and Champagne glitter.  I love had pretty this came out.  The cute little cat was stamped and colored with copic markers.  

Hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did making it.  If you would like more details on this card please visit my SNS Gallery.

Spooky

Good evening everyone!! This past week I received happy mail from the Flying Unicorn, the October KOM!!  I just love getting happy mail, these kits are so much fun and packed full of all kind of goodies.  The OTP project this month is a wooden coffin.  I could not wait to get started on this, perfect for my Halloween decorations.  Here is a look at what I came up with!

I painted the coffin and let it dry.  Once dry I added stenciling using embossing paste, while it was still wet a little sparkle was added using SNS Purple Rain glitter.  Using SNS dimensional glue on acetate, with Green Nugget glitter, I created the green slime.  I distressed the skeleton that I picked up at the Dollar Tree with gesso.

The roses are made using the modeling clay and the Wow's 3d Rose Moulds, from this month kit.  I distressed the rosees with a little black ink.  A little sparkle was added to some of the roses using SNS brushable glue and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Added a banner, feathers, spiders, bats and lace for a comfy place to rest!

Have a great week everyone and remember....Keep Stamping!!

Good Morning

Woke up to some very pleasant cool temps. this morning (yay)!!  Fall is in the air, and time to work on Christmas cards for this year.  Here is a look at a card I just finished using Elizabeth Craft's Evergreen Pivot Tree Dies.  I just love this set, knew I had to have it when Karen Burniston previewed it!

1st Christmas Card of the Year!

Hi everyone hope you  have had a great week!!  I just finished my first Christmas card of the season and wanted to share with you!

I used several different dies on this cute card!  To create the card base, Sizzix's Pop N Cuts circle die was used.   I just love how cute it turned out, and my little grand daughter just loved it!! The dies used are Elizabeth Craft Designs Holiday House, Evergreen Pivot Card, and the Outdoor Edges.  

 I used a white gel pen on the trees and roof top to add a little extra to them!

For the sentiment I went to my Silhouette files and this worked just perfect!

I used Sparkle N Sprinkle glitters for all the "Sparkle"!!  The glitters used are Fire Engine Red, Elegant Emerald, Sparkling Snow, Golden Silver and Silver Dreams.

Here is a look at the front of the card.  The edges of the card was cut using Elizabeth Craft Design Agatha Edges.  The white CS was embossed using Anna Griffin's Christmas embossing folders, border dies and snowflake die.  I just love how she has the embossing border folders that go along with the dies.  A strip of 1/8 Tear-ific tape was added and covered with Silver Dreams glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great weekend and remember.....Keep Stamping!!

I will be entering this card in Scrapy Land #3 Challenge
