Sending Fall Hugs Pumpkin Patch Card | Ink On 3

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing the cutest Fall Card for Ink On 3. I'm not sure what the weather is like in your part of the world, but here in Edmonton it definitely feels like Fall has arrived. The colors are changing, the leaves are falling and the air is crisp.  Nevertheless, it is my favorite season so I will try to enjoy it while it lasts.

  CARD DETAILS

Here's how today's card was made:

• Using BLACKOUT INK, stamp out the pumpkin images from the PUMPKIN FRIENDS and the PUMPKIN PATCH stamp sets.
• Color images in (I used Copic Markers and Prisma Color Pencils).
• Fussy cut the PUMPKIN FRIENDS.
• Use the COORDINATING PUMPKIN PATCH die to create a partial die cut (cut along the top of the pumpkin patch only).

• Color any white spaces using a black Copic marker.
• For the background. Use a circle mask/stencil to create a moon for the sunset.
• Blend out the colors for the sunset sky (I used ATELIER MY PURPLE JAM,  ATELIER MARILYN RED, and ATELIER BEE STING YELLOW) Blend the same colors over the moon with light pressure.
• Stamp out the sentiment. Sending from HEY GORGEOUS, Fall from BUNNY HUGS, and Hugs from FOX AND BUNNY HUGS.
• Glue the colored PUMPKIN PATCH images onto the background panel. Trim panel. Glue onto the card base.

• Add the fussy cut PUMPKIN FRIENDS images onto the card front using foam tape.
• Add white gel pen details to highlight the images.
• Use LIQUID PIXIE DUST to add sparkle to the image (I used it only on the red flowers).

I hope this cute Fall Hugs Pumpkin Patch Card inspired you today. Stay safe and warm friends!

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

Back to School | Chalkola Chalkboard Marker Sign

Today is the first day of back to school for these two kiddos. They were super excited to go and see all their friends and teachers again. I, on the other hand, have mixed feelings about their return to school. I pray for a safe return for all the students and teachers during this crazy pandemic we are living through.

This year's Back to School photo prop is brought to you by Chalkola. The kind people at Chalkola sent me these fun Chalk Markers and Sign to play with. At first, I was going to make a card for you using them (and still may) but I thought this sign was a fun way to celebrate the kid's first day back at school. Keep reading for details on how to buy and save on these fun markers!

Here are my two masked Ninja COVID fighting warriors. Tomás is in Grade 11 this year and Maia in Grade 9.

Love the smiles behind the masked faces.

Had to share Tomás' expression here. He was saying "Really Mom! I'm so thankful I only have to do this one more year." (Little does he know that I plan on taking these pictures even when they go to University, lol!)

Maia is super excited about being a "Grade 9'er", the highest grade in the school where she's been at since Pre-School.

Wishing my babies both a safe return to school. I am thankful Online Schooling is available to them should this return be short-lived. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Are you as EXCITED for STAMPtember as I am?!? Today's post is NOT part of a Blog Hop, it is a Blog Party and everyone is invited! Make sure you stop by the Simon Says Stamp Blog for all the Party Details!

CARD DETAILS

Well, I guess this will be my first official Christmas card of the year. I was resisting making one as long as possible as I didn't want to be reminded of our long cold winters, so I'm praying for a short one, lol!

My card features the new ETCHED EUCALYPTUS WREATH Die from the STAMPtember release.

Here's how this card was made:

• Die-cut ETCHED EUCALYPTUS WREATH Die using Silver Glitter and Green Cardstock. Glue both together, overlapping different areas.
• Glue wreath onto a white cardstock piece that has been die-cut using a frame from the STITCHED RECTANGLES Die Set.
• Use foam tape to mount onto a red cardstock A2 sized panel that has been glued onto the card base.

• Die-cut the CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS DIES three times using Black cardstock. Stack and glue together.
• Position Die Sentiments on the card front, centered on the wreath and glue.

• Finish embellishing the card with pearl details.

Well, I hope you were inspired by this simple design of mine today. I LOVE how my first Christmas card of the year turned out!

Have a Colorful Day Inspiration Cards | Spellbinders | GOM September 2020

Hello, dear crafty friends!

Today I have a set of rainbow cards to share with you using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month for September 2020 "Have a Colorful Day" Glimmer Hot Foil Plates. I had so much fun creating these cards that I actually had to stop myself from creating more. If you know me you know how much I love rainbows!

CARD DETAILS

Here is how these cards were made.

Start by plugging in the HOT FOIL SYSTEM. Use the RAINBOW Glimmer Foil and trim it down to size using the plates you want to use as guides. Once the system is ready and the plates are hot, run the foil sandwich through the PLATINUM 6 DIE CUTTING PLATFORM. For this card, I only foiled the Shine Bright Sentiment from the EVERYDAY SENTIMENTS II.

I then used the rainbow and cloud dies to cut out the rainbow and pieced it together. Luckily I had some rainbow craft foam scraps that coordinated perfectly. I then inlaid the gold arches.

To finish the card I used some iridescent raindrops.

For this next card, I used the striped arches to foil the rainbow onto the card front again using the RAINBOW Glimmer Foil. I then foiled the sentiment using a BLACK Glimmer Foil and used the RECTANGLE ETCHED DIES to trim down the panel.

Next, I used the negative of the gold glitter rainbow from the previous card to outline the striped arches and added a couple of silver glitter clouds to complete the rainbow design.

To the card base, I added a rainbow border using the GLIMMER RECTANGLE GLIMMER PLATES.

For this third card, I began by foiling the MODERN LINES GLIMMER PLATE across the bottom of the card panel. I used the rainbow die to figure out where to position the ached sentiment and then used the RAINBOW Glimmer Foil once again to foil onto the paper.

I then die cut another rainbow using silver glitter foil paper and used the negative piece only and inlaid the rainbow craft foam from the first card. To finish this card I popped on the two clouds.

This last card took the longest to make as I used the same rainbow plate on different spots of the card front.

To the center rainbow on the card front, I added the silver glitter paper to fill it in and then added a sentiment strip that was done using SILVER Glimmer Foil on black cardstock. 

And this card was complete after I added all the cute little clouds. I hope you enjoyed this cheerful rainbow-inspired cards.
