DCD- Thankful

I'm stopping in with my last card for the Die Cut Diva's blog. This will be a quick post as I forgot to write it before I went out of town for a beautiful wedding!


I used the pumpkin pie image from our sponsor colored with pencils. I added my layers onto my embossed card, then adhered my die cut sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

OMCF- Pumpkin Pie


Poppin' by to share my card for Open-Minded Crafting Fun challenge blog. Our theme this month is Thanks/Thanksgiving and I'm showcasing one of our wonderful sponsors The Stamping Boutique.
I used the pumpkin pie image for my card, since it is one of the things I look forward to most at Thanksgiving. The last few years I've made a pumpkin cheesecake pie instead of the traditional... Yum!

I printed and colored my image before die cutting it. I inked up all of my layers with some distress ink, added some brads and then adhered all the layers to the cardbase.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!



Supplies:
Stamping boutique- Pumpkin pie
MFT- double stitched rectangle
Misc- Copics, brads, pattern paper and cardstock

Cozy warm and bright

Hello all, it's October and our challenge over at the Die Cut Diva's is Embossing. I used the candy cane corner image from our sponsor Stamping Boutique. I kept my card pretty clean simple.


I printed my image on the card stock and then die cut it. Colored my images with copics and added some stickles to the berries. I stamped my sentiment in embossing ink and used silver embossing powder. Once the embossing was cooled and the stickles were dry I added my panel to the cardbase. 

Here is a closer look at the embossing, I know it's slightly hard to see in the first picture.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Supplies:
MFT- Diagonal stitch die
Hero Arts- sentiment
Recollections- silver embossing powder
Copics

A2Z- Layer it challenge

Hello all, I seriously can't believe it's October 1st already!!! Where did September go so quickly? I know it was a busy month for us the boys were still playing fall baseball, scouts started back up, time to sell cub scout popcorn again, birthdays, school activities.... Phew! I feel like I need at least a day of sleep, but then again it's Oct and that means Christmas will be here before I know it and I better get my cards ready. (I try to have them all done by Thanksgiving)With that said, I know just used this set on my last card for a2z Scrapbooking, but I do love it. I've even used one of the branches for a 50th anniversary card back in July.


This month our challenge theme is Layer it. You can see the wonderful card the DT members have made for the challenge and the link up tool for you to join here.


I stamped the branch multiple times on my card base in both green ink and versa mark ink on both my card base and my panel. I also stamped three branches in versa mark on vellum, then die cut them. ( All versa mark images got heat embossed with a pearl green powder I have in my stash)  I stamped my sentiment and then decided I wanted the top panel to pop from the background more, so I added a red panel to layer between the top and card base. To finish the card I adhered my vellum pieces and a twine bow.
