Hello, dear friends! 👋

It's astonishing how fast September has arrived! Tomorrow, my kids will resume their school routine, and in the blink of an eye, Autumn will grace us with its presence. Here in western Canada, we anticipate its early arrival, as nature is already beginning to paint our surroundings with vibrant it's colors.

Today's card was all things fall-inspired, featuring some new goodies from the Heartfelt Harvest Release and some timeless favorites from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

Apple Barrel - Die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Apple Barrel Dies. I added some distress oxide ink to the edges and gel pen details and then pieced it together. 

Sunflower  - Die cut the pieces for Lovely Layers: Sunflower Dies. Add ink to the start of the petals near the center. I used a dark brown Copic marker to darken the center. Glue the layers together and finish the center with the copper gems from the Homestead Harvest Gems. To create a stem I just cut a thin piece of the same cardstock color I used for the leaves. 

Sentiment - Comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Eyelet Dies. Cut out the hello 3 times, stack and glue them together. To make it glossy, I added Bee Creative Watermark Ink to ink the top and then used clear embossing powder to melt onto it. 

Background - The Slimline frame I used comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies, to the panel I ink blended Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the fence, grass, and cloud dies from the Horizon Slimline Borders to finish the background elements.

On the inside, I combined a couple of sentiments from the Heartfelt Hello Stamps, using Intense Black Ink and some creative masking. 

I'm not too upset Fall is just around the corner as I do love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the freshly baked apple pies, and the beautiful colors of the Fall. I hope this Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card also gets you a little excited about it too.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hello again friends! 

Today the Honey Bee Stamps design team is celebrating the Heartfelt Harvest Release with an Instagram Hop. So if you like prizes, I would suggest you hop on over to 👉 Instagram and Hop along as 2 people will win $50 to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop!

Here is the card I am featuring on the Hop. Isn't she pretty!?

For this card, I die-cut all the pieces and assembled them together. For the wheel, I used colored cardstock and for the flowers, I used white cardstock and ink blended each stem. I then arranged them and snipped a couple of the flowers apart to balance the bouquet. Since the center is the messiest part, I covered that up with a burlap bow. Below is the breakdown of all the pieces.

Flowers - Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet Dies

Hello - Grateful Gatherings

Pattern Paper - Pinstripes and Polka Dots Harvest Paper Pad

Rainbow Gladiolus Bouquet Card | Studio Katia | New Release

Hello friends and Happy Sunday!

Today Studio Katia is introducing their latest member to their Mini Slimline Collection. This month it is this beautiful Gladiolus Stamp and Coordinating Die.

Realistically coloring my Gladiolus in rainbow colors doesn't make any sense, but hey I am applying artistic freedom here 😉 Make sure to click the link to the Studio Katia Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team and enter the release giveaway.

CARD RECIPE

Making this card was pretty simple, the hardest part was masking, and even with that it was fairly easy!

• Start by stamping the Gladiolus Stamp in the center of the panel using Copic-friendly ink.
• Using the coordinating Die, die-cut masking paper. You could also fussy cut the stamped image but this is the lazy way for those that don't like fussy cutting like me!
• Shift the edge of the masking paper to line up with the stamped image. If you see the stamped line that is perfect as it will overlap the next stamped image connecting the previous stamped lines.
• Reposition the stamp and repeat stamping the Gladious Stamp to each side of the first stamped image. Reposition the masking before stamping a new area.
• Remove masking.
• Draw in lines if any weren't connected using a Copic-friendly pen, I also extended the stems.
• Color in the Gladiolus using Copic Markers.

• Add the die-cut frame from the Darling Ribbons and Frames to frame the colored panel.
• Using white pigment ink, stamp and heat emboss the sentiment from the Gladioulus Stamp set.
• Die cut the sentiment using a Die from the Peony Trimmings Set, and add foam to pop it up, trim any excess.

• Finish by gluing on some coordinating colored pearls. These came from the Satin Pearls Mix.
• For extra highlights and details use a white gel pen.

I hope this beautiful Rainbow Gladiolus Bouquet Card brightened your day. I love how this one turned out and hope it inspired you as well.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
