Painted Harvest Card

A nice cool front came in overnight and it feels a little like Fall this morning. I don't know about you but I'm very ready for Fall/Autumn to arrive and it's only 17 days away. Hooray!

This Painted Harvest Card is my first attempt using the new Painted Harvest stamp set by Stampin' Up! It's new in the 2017 Holiday catalog. This time of year I love seeing sunflowers on the side of the road here in Oklahoma. I've always wanted to plant some in my backyard but never have. Anyway... I love the effect of the layered stamps in this set.

Thankful Forest Friends Card

Happy Friday!!! This week my mojo has been running a little low but I finally made this Thankful Forest Friends Card from some of my new favorite Stampin' Up! products. I absolutely love the little rabbit from the new Thankful Forest Friends stamp set. I stamped him using Soft Suede ink and then used a 1-1/2" circle punch which was layered to a 1-3/4" scallop circle. The patterned paper is from the Into The Woods dsp and the cardstock colors include: Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Tangelo Twist and Mossy Meadow. To ink the sentiment stamp, I masked the foliage areas and used an Early Espresso stamp pad. Then used an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker on the foliage areas. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Thankful Fall Rabbit Card

I'm ready for FALL!!! This time of year the colors of FALL are already taking over my craft room and that makes me happy! Using warm color tones is comforting to me. Here is my latest card featuring a darling baby rabbit stamp that I was able to use this weekend at a local scrapbook store. They had a make-and-take event and the rabbit stamp was featured on one of the cards but by the time I arrived they had ran out of supplies to create a card with this stamp. I asked the owner if I could stamp the image anyway and take it with me to make a card and she gladly agreed.

This Thankful Fall Rabbit Card features the rabbit image, I think it was by Impression Obsession however, I didn't find it on their website. The patterned papers are by DCWV from the Sweater Weather paper pad. I used Cajun Craze and Delightfully Dijon cardstock by Stampin' Up! as accent colors. I die cut the Delightfully Dijon cardstock and matted it with patterned paper to run vertically down the side of the card. The sentiment from the Good Greetings retired hostess set was masked and stamped with Cajun Craze to fit into the oval shape. To add more depth of color I used some brown Doodle Twine and that about sums this card up. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
