Autum Days

Hello Creative Friends,

Fall is officially on us and I wanted to share some fall colors today.  Today's card is created with a Fun Stampers Journey set called "Autumn Days".  It is one of my favorites in the FSJ large catalog.

The background of this fast and easy card is created with another of my favorite background stamps, Canvas Prints.  Isn't the texture it creates just amazing?!!!

 

I created the leaves by using daubers and various ink pads that I listed below to cover a piece of Buttercream cardstock.  Then I stamped my leaves and die cut them with the matching die.  Love that we have dies to match our stamps!!! and the bonus is if you purchase them together, you get a bundle price!

 

I hope you enjoyed my share today and as always, have an Amazing day!

Cindy

Sea Side Treasure

Hello Creative Friends!

My fab group of friends comes over today...love these ladies!!!  This week we are doing few nautical cards.  

One if the sets we used was the Seaside Treasure set.  It brings back memories of sea shell hunting along the beach.

Can't you just feel the sun on your shoulders, the sand in your toes and the wind blowing through your hair?

 

Soon it will be warm enough to walk the beach barefoot, but until then I can daydream.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Make it Monday: Hope Rises

Happy Monday everyone!  Today's post features a stamp set out of the Spring Mini Catalog.  If you have been eyeballing anything in this catalog, you have until March 31 to order, after that the items are no longer available.

After I stamped the tulip vase image from the "Hope Rises" set and colored it, I cut it out so I could layer it onto a Cool Pool "Fancy Label" die cut.  I cut out another "Fancy Label" die, but this time I used Orange Creamcicle cardstock.  I stamped the Orange Creamcicle die with ink of the same color  and my "Canvas Prints" background stamp.  Isn't it awesome how it gives just a little texture to the die cut?!!!

Next I grabbed my "Ink Splat" stamp and my Lavender Fusion IP and added 3 splats to my card base.  I cut a lacy border strip using the "Border Details" die and adhered to my card base.  I also used some White Liner tape to adhere a piece  of "Tangerine Fusion Crimp" ribbon onto the card base.

I love doing loopy bows with our Journey Thread, just wrap it around 4 fingers, grab it in the middle and tie it with a seperate thread! And how cute is that "Clear Blooms Accent" flower with the purple candy dot to finish off this card?  The  sentiment is from the "P.S. Greetings" set. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Garden Birthday

Happy Friday everyone! 
Today I am sharing a Birthday card I made using the Summer Garden set.

I have had this set on my wish list for almost a year and finally brought it home!!!  Don't you just love using a new stamp set?!!!  Plus it was one I got to color! Best day ever!

I absolutely adore how it looks layered on the Ornate die with the pierced detailing. I think, no I know that the piercing dies are one of my all time favorite items that FSJ offers.  I even used the Rectangle piercing element on this card!

 

I created the patterned paper by inking up the Whimsey Wallpaper stamp with Lemongrass.   I added the Bloom Time sequins just to add that final touch and give it some sparkle!  I know that any Birthday girl would feel like a Princess when she received this Beautiful card!

Thanks for stopping by,
