Leafy Birthday

I'm back to leaves again today!  This time it's a birthday card made with LIGHTHEARTED LEAVES.

I went simple and used a fabulous sketch from Try Stampin' - or not- on Tuesday.


TST sept 22

I love how this sketch can be taken in so many ways!  I went clean and simple with neutral colors and a few fall details.

On a Soft Suede card base, I added a circle of INTO THE WOODS designer paper and an Old Olive leaf from LIGHTHEARTED LEAVES.  Did you notice the cute little acorn next to the greeting??  I just got the September MY PAPER PUMPKIN and it has a bunch of cute fall stamps, one of which is this cute little acorn!  And speaking of MY PAPER PUMPKIN,  Stampin' Up! is doing something great for October.

    Why is it, that when I try to pin your card, it immediately goes to another general Pinterest page? It won't let me pin it to my board.

    I'm not sure Cindy....I was able to pin it earlier today. Did you try the pin it in the upper left corner? That's the one I typically use. If you can't get it to work, you can go to this link here for a pin on my holiday board so you can save it that way. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/235383518001805948/ Thanks so much for visiting my blog and pinning my artwork!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...

The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
