Hello Fall Sunflower Slimline Scene | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Everyone, hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

I am back today with this Hello Fall Sunflower Slimline Scene using die cuts only. The perfect card to send a friend this season just to let them know you are thinking about them. I mixed and matched a few die sets to come up with the design and I hope you are inspired by it. I love sunflowers, so this was a great excuse to make some.

CARD DETAILS

Here's how you can recreate this card.

1. Begin by die cutting the frame and background using the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES from cardstock that blends well. (I used Bristol Paper)
2. Blend the background panel. (I used VINTAGE PHOTO and BROKEN CHINA Oxide Ink) 
3. Use the PUMPKIN PATCH STENCIL to blend out falling leaves in the sky and on the ground.

1. Die-cut a few clouds using the LARGE CLOUDS DIES. Glue onto the top part of the panel. Trim off any excess that hangs over the edge.
2. Die-cut the petals and centers for the sunflowers from the FALL BOUQUETS HONEY CUTS.  Ink up edges of the petals and curl them to add dimension. Glue the layers together. ( I used a gold glitter cardstock under the flower centers)
3. Die-cut stems and leaves for the sunflowers using the dies from STITCHED FLOWERS HONEY CUTS. Glue stems behind the flower heads.
4. Arrange the sunflowers as you wish and glue onto the card panel. Glue leaves in place.

1. Die-cut the hello from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES, position, and glue in place.
2. Die-cut the letters for the word Fall. I used both the BEE BOLD ALPHABET CUTS and the BEE BOLD LOWERCASE DIES. Arrange and glue in place.
3. Add extra leaves from using dies from the FALL BOUQUETS | HONEY CUTS. (I inked them up with various fall colors, see oxide inks links below. I also used gold glitter ones too).

1. Cut out a slimline sized card base (9x8inches). The finished card measures 9 inches tall by 4 inches wide.
2. To finish the card, glue the slimline background onto the card base and add the scalloped edging that was die cut from the first step.

I hope you were able to follow the process along and are inspired to create your own Fall Sunflower Slimline Scenes.

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

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!

Christmas Blessings Wreath Card | Simon Says STAMPtember | Etched Eucalyptus Wreath

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!
