Final Day Fab 5 Fall Card - Day 5
This turned out to be a card that grew into itself as I was creating it. I even heard from Dave, he told me it was his favorite from the week long series. He really likes the techniques...
Day 4 of the Fab 5 Fall Cards - Memory Box
The first die I chose to work with today is the Counrty Fence Oval Frame die which I filled with fall leaves from the Autumn Birdie stamp set. I layered some color onto the Country Fence scene and added one of the Turkeys from the Classic Tom Turkeys die set. The happy fall is also from the Autumn Birdie stamp set as well. I've outlined it and the oval with a Metallic Gold pen from Prismacolor. This is how it looks outside my window right now. Well minus the Turkey. But with the leaves falling in all colors! I love Fall and the crisp air and beautiful colors and tried to convey all of that here.

Day 3 Fab 5 Fall Cards - Misted Leaves
Hello WEDNESDAY! We re more than half way through the Fab 5 Fall Cards! How fun!
Today my share has some misted leaves. I actually misted an entire piece of watercolor paper with Distress Stains and Shimmer Mists then die cut them, with the LawnFawn stitched leaves, after the paper dried. The thanks, also from LawnFawn, was cut from copper mirror card and the for being so thoughtful comes from the LawnFawn set Many Thanks. Everything is layered onto ivory cardstock and again on a piece of Basic Grey patterned paper. The card base has a swiss dot embossed ivory piece on it. Lastly I added some copper and lime green stickles for sparkle.

Fab 5 Fall Cards - Day 2 - Fall in the Neighborhood...
Hello Tuesday! We experienced another amazing concert last night. This time it was the 7th & 8th Grade Orchestra Concert. They were WONDERFUL and it was a very pleasant evening of course we finished with ice cream at Daisy's so what could be bad about that?
So today is Day 2 of our Fab 5 Fall Cards! I have a fun card to share I used some Fancy Pants paper to create my background and a Poppy Die for the houses. The trees are cut with a Memory Box die. I punched the moon from more Fancy Pants paper and put a brown grosgrain bow on it for some more textures. The hills are cut free hand and inked. I did use a stray piece of Doodlebug paper for the roofs of the houses. I love this little neighborhood so sweet and ready for fall!
Hope you've enjoyed Tuesday's card. We will return tomorrow with another fall card to add to the collection! Be sure to check out Dianne's blog at I See A Pattern Forming for her inspiring card today!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy your day.
Day 1 Fab 5 Fall Cards - Many Thanks
Happy Monday! Hope everyone had an amazing crisp Fall weekend. We enjoyed ours and ended it with the Palatine Children's Chorus Fall concert.
So today we are starting our Fab 5 Fall Card series. I love this series because I Love Fall and everything that goes along with it! I'm starting my Fab 5 Fall cards with a, Copic Colored image on kraft, card using a focal point image from LawnFawn's Happy Harvest stamp set. Adore this little scarecrow with his little crow friends.
For the corn I just masked off my scarecrow and birdies and stamped corn stalks over and over to create his backdrop of a field. The dirt I colored in. One of my little crows got cut out and put on the Many Thanks banner. All of the patterned paper is from the LawnFawn Into the Woods 6x6 paper pack. The kraft embossed piece used my Perfect Paisley embossing folder rubbed lightly with some fall color inks. Finally I've added just a little bow in a dark brown twill.
Hope you've enjoyed today's card. I will return tomorrow with another fall card to add to the collection!

Fab 5 - Day 5 - Love You More
A really quick card using a Marvy Heart Punch and a stamp by My Favorite Things. Again using the Doodlebug Papers. These are Christmas papers but the backs are just red and white perfect for Valentines.
Woo Hoo the weekend is here. At 8am this morning the kids asked if they could play out in the snow. Had to get back to the fort building. I'm teaching Copic Basics today at Craft Fancy. Most rewarding class ever. I love how people leave the class amazed at what a few markers can do. Dinner tonight at our house with friends I'm going to try a new marinade for pork tenderloin. YUM.
Happy Happy Weekend! Hope everyone is having fun! Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Fab 5 - Day 4 Happy Valentines Day
Such a pretty sentiment. These dies are by Cheery Lynn. I did use my Memory Box Heart Die for the background and more of the Doodlebug papers. The dark color isn't black it's Grey like the rest of the cards. I've added some rhinestones for a little texture.
Happy Friday! The kids were excited to play in the snow after school. Abs was a little sad when it was time to go to the Ice Rink for skating but she showed off her bunny hops and lunges to us in class tonight. Em went to the sledding hill with Anne who had never been sledding, ever. She loved it. Then they all three built a fort in the snow after skating.
It was a nice Friday after yesterdays storm... Hope your all having a great week, thanks so much for stopping by!
XOXO - Fab 5 Valentine Card day 3
Early post today. This card uses Doodlebug Paper still like the others. All the pieces are cut using the Memory Box Dies. Love the stem and hearts from the tree set but most of all I am in love with the Parker Font. Super Versatile! Cute or modern clean lines. Love it!!!!
So it's rain and then snow for us today. No fun outside so today we are inside. I'll putting together the March Class Schedule for all my instructors out there let me know what you want to teach.
Hope everyone is safe and warm inside with all of the storms coming from various directions! Have a great Thursday. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Fab 5 Holiday Cards - Day 3
Supplies Used - Lawn Fawn Paper & Stamps, Momento Ink Pad and marker, Copic Markers, Stickles and Foam Tape.
Stamp the Owl on Neenah white cardstock, along with the words and the thought bubble.
Color owl eyes and belly with R22
Color the rest of the owl with R27
Add shadows with R29 and then go back and soften the shadows with R27.
I love YR18 for the beak.
Color scarf with G24
Add shadows with G28
Soften the shadows with the G24
Cut out the owl and the thought bubble then use the black Moment marker to go around white edges. Remember to hold the marker from the bottom so as not to ruin all your lovely work.
On the cardstock stamp the owl(we cut off his toes and fringe on his scarf above this will prevent us from having to draw them in) and trail of bubbles. Then foam tape the owl and thought bubble onto the cardsotck.
Once the card is complete add lots of Diamond Stickles to the snowflakes on the cardstock. Your card will really sparkle.
Today was work and Christmas tree decorating. We had pizza for dinner YIPPY thank you Vinnie's! The kids are back to school tomorrow. Phew...

Fab 5 Holiday Cards - Day 1
Starting this series with a little resist technique. Love love this Snowy Pine Landscape by Memory Box.
Supplies Used.
New in the store is Eclipse Tape got to use mine for this card. Soooooo Excited!
After Stamping the image and masking it off I added some resist with a Clear Glaze Pen. I then brayered on Iced Spruce Distress ink by making an ink pallet on the craft sheet. I did use a sponge to pick up the remaining color on my craft sheet.
I wiped away any remaining ink with a dry paper towel. Then stamped my words from a Stampin Up Set called Hand Penned Holidays.
Once that was done I cut down the image and embossed a card front with the Polka Dots Embossing folder. I attached the image to the embossed piece with foam tape and adhered it all to the card. I then added ribbon.
Love how it turned out. Crisp and clean.
More Fabulous Folds for Today. Hope to have 2 wonderful classes today at Craft Fancy. Maybe the sun will come out?
Coming this Friday! 5 Days straight of Holiday Cards Step by Step! Be sure to check back......
Fab 5 Fall Card Series - Day 5 - Thank You
Supplies Used: JustRite Stamps, Little Yellow Bicycle Papers, Spellbinders, Distress Ink, Chalk Ink, Copic Markers, Momento Stamp Pad, Sponge Dauber, Foam Tape, Neenah Cardstock
Base coat the pumpkin with YR12 and darker shadows with YR14
Continue adding deeper shadows with YR16
The deepest shadows should be with YR18
Now work backwards blending out with YR16 and YR18
Blend all over with YR12
Color Stems with E57
For leaves lay down YG93 first then add YG95 to veins of leaves.
For a deep shadow on the leaves add YG97 along veins and blend everything out with YG93
Ground the pumkins with W00 and W1 so they are not floating.
Die cut image and cardstock with ovals. Ink edges of the ovals as well as base paper and assemble the card using some foam tape between a layers for depth. The bow I just tied and put on with a glue dot. I noticed after the card was complete that I stamped my words around my oval upside down. DUH!!!!! This is what happens in the middle of the night.....
So this is the end of this series of cards. I had a great time using my stash and got a few cards done along the way. Thank you so much for stopping by and all the Wonderful Comments. I can't wait to do a Holiday one and I think Dianne might join me.
Happy Friday everyone Enjoy Your Weekend!
