Falling for Autumn and hiding from Irma!

As we are finishing up preparing for Hurricane Irene, I snuck in a few hours in the craft room!  Jennifer McGuire did a blog post on Stained Glass Window Stamping and I feel in love with it.  I didn't have the supplies she did but did come across my Newton's Nook fall leaves and it worked perfectly.  Since I used stamps in each of these cards, I'm entering these in the Simon Says Stamp Monday & Wednesday Challenges of 'Stamp It'.

This first card includes a Memory Box 'Thank You' sentiment.  I used the heat resist acetate and embossed two leaves in gold embossing powder.  I die cut the maple leave entirely and then half of the oak leaf.  Underneath is watercolor paper that I blended a few colors to make.  This card will be entered into the Memory Box Challenge #28 'Falling For Autumn Cards'

I enjoyed and love the technique so much, I tried another one using handmade paper.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I am entering this into the Rubbernecker Stamp Challenge 'Monochromatic'

Happy Crafting!

Back to School - It's that time of year again to hit the books!

It's Back to School Time!

I've started researching and playing more with digital images and seeing what and how supplies work with laserjet ink.

This little guy is from Craftin Desert Divas!

I embossed the Impression Obsession Books background stamp with copper embossing powder and then added some distress oxide inks to antique it even more.  I colored in the owl with my spectrum noir markers and added some sparkle with their glitter markers.

The 'Good Luck' Die cut is from an HSN bundle package and the embossed paper is also from the Crafter's Companion Diamond Edge HSN package.

Happy Crafting and good luck to all of those going back to school!

This card was entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Back to School Challenge and the Case This Sketch Challenge #236.

Back to School!

Hi Everyone!  Happy Sunday!  The minute I saw this sketch design by Chrissy Larson Case This Sketch Challenge #235 I knew instantly what I wanted to do!  With a little modification, I turned this into the old printing paper we had in elementary school to learn our letters!  This also fit in nicely with Rubbernecker Stamps newest challenge, Back to School!

I used double sided tape to add the glitter.  I used the files on my Brother Scan'n'Cut to create the apple and the 'school' letters.

Only tools needed for this card was a ruler, double sided tape, and glitter! 

This card was also entered in  the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday card challenge.

Rascally Raccoons!

Hey there!  These little critters just wanted to stop by and say 'Hello'!  These little guys are from Newton's Nook.  I stamped them on watercolor paper and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.  I die cut the grass and the 'Hello' sentiment and then started layering!  

This card is being entered in a few challenges this week.  This card was entered into the Creative Knockouts Card for Kids challenge as well as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Sizzix Fox Thinlits - Card for Children 'Lookin' Foxy'

This little guy was so fun to make!  I believe I saw this die cut on an HSN craft day and I just had to have him.  I used this Sizzix set to create a gate fold Fox card.  There were a couple of great card challenges that had themes of 'Cards for Kids' and I instantly thought of this fox.  To finish up the card, I used a stamp from Unity Stamps and attached it to some twine.

This card was entered into the Creative Knockouts Card for Kids challenge as well as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge and finally the Crafty Calendar Card Shape Challenge.

Happy Crafting!
