Life is Beautiful!

Happy Thursday all! Looks foggy damp and dreary outside and it's still very dark at 7:30 am. Fall is fast becoming Winter! Here is the second card I created Tuesday night. Great color combo from my friends over at The Color Throwdown


And their color challenge. Kraft, Cream and Cranberry.


Stampin' Up! Colors used are Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot and Very Vanilla. But I used a Shimmery Vanilla (non SU!) so it is very soft and pretty! Accent layer of Merry Merlot and card base of Crumb Cake. Tree was stamped on the Vanilla with Crumb Cake. I did the shadow at the bottom and dots on the tree with Crumb Cake stamped off once so it's very light. I then went over the tree again with the sparkle image in Merry Merlot. Saying in Merlot on a separate piece of Vanilla accented by Merry Merlot attached with dimensionals over gold edged Vanilla ribbon. Gold gems for accent on the tree and under the saying. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to be back soon :) Shopping link and product list below!

Hello Fall!

Hey all, hope you are all doing well! Busy here still, but hopefully slowing down with the cold weather that is coming soon! Took myself to the stamp room tonight - it's been far too long! Wasn't really intending to create anything but I came out with two cards in a short time :) Yeah me!!

Here is the first, inspired by the Maple trees in my front yard. They've been slow to turn, but honestly have so many colors right now! All the way from green to bright red and many in between!


Life is Beautiful! So much inspiration everywhere right now with the Fall colors!! I tried to space out the colors on these leaves and not muddy the colors. Tree is Cinnamon Cider. I did a "background" with the dots image in Crumb Cake, and then did leaves in Bumble Bee, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red. Hello in Real Red and the birdhouse in Cinnamon Cider. Background cardstock is a Shimmery Vanilla, accent of Cinnamon Cider and base of Bumble Bee. Ribbon also in Bumble Bee. Many different looks from one stamp set!! This was my first use of the leaves and I like how it came out!

Thanks for stopping by today! Product details below. Back soon, another Life is Beautiful card coming up for of my favorite color challenges :)

Hello Beautiful!

Howdy all! Happy Saturday and Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you find time today to create! Me, probably not as we have football. But I do have a card to share so that is a start!

I found an inspiring color challenge recently and made another Life is Beautiful card with it. Here is the card


And the color challenge. It was over at CAS Colors and Sketches earlier in September.


Pretty simple! Card base is Cherry Cobler, accent layer is Cinnamon Cider. Background is Very Vanilla. Tree is Cinnamon, lots of leaves in Mango Melody, over stamped leaves in Cherry. Birdhouse in Cinnamon and hello in Cherry. Gold gem accents. Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by today! Contact me if you have any questions! Note, product detail links again missing. Since the change in our websites I haven't had time to figure out a new way to do that. My old links aren't good anymore so I have lots of clean up to do! Working on it but will take quite a while! For now, item numbers are listed below the shopping link. Old school - that is how I used to do it :)

Plaid Leaves!

Morning all! Happy Fall! I made it to the stamp room yesterday! Yeah me!! Broke out a new bundle (set and dies) and used my new Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. So far, so good :) Oh, and some DSP - one that is on special!!

Here is the first card.


I've seen similar online and had this in mind when I ordered the Love of Leaves Bundle (155195 $47.50). The Plaid Tidings 6x6 stack (153527) is a perfect match! Colors here are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Whisper White. The DSP has those plus a few more! I die cut the Whisper White top layer with the largest Rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Die set (151820 $35) and then cut a second time with the large leaf near the center. I attached a slightly smaller piece of the DSP to the back of the Whisper White and layered the card together. Saying in Cajun Craze lower left with a few Blue Gems (153547 $8).

And, because I knew a different piece of DSP would completely change the card I made another!


Melon Mambo and Mango Melody with Whisper White and Gold gems. Love them both, but this one pops! Didn't expect to like it so much!
