Thinking of you Leaves

Needed a card for a friend today, so I reached for this beautiful leaf set from a few years back, Gorgeous Leaves and the coordinating die set Intricate Leaves! One can never have too many leaves for fall creations :)

I wanted this one fairly clean and simple and this is what I came up with!

Colors are Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Coastal Cabana. Base is Pecan, accent of Pumpkin behind a background of Very Vanilla. I stamped the splatter image in Coastal Cabana in the center, then layered over a die cut leaf in Pecan and a stamped Pumpkin leaf also die cut with an outline image. I used fine glue for the Pecan leaf and mini dimensionals for the Pumpkin leaf. A braided linen trim bow for accent and saying from Everyday Greetings in Pecan.

Thanks for stopping by today! More creations to come :) Details links below for current items used!

Misty Season

Hey all! A Christmas card to share today. I finally got one made for that challenge! Still hope to catch up the missed ones, but who knows if that will happen! Here is the card.

I choose a color I haven't used very much; Misty Moonlight and I really like it! Card base is Misty Moonlight, background of Basic White that I textured with an embossing folder. Trees were stamped on Basic White with Misty Moonlight and cut with the coordinating dies. The saying/die are the Greetings of the Season bundle (stamps and dies). The trees by the way are the Peaceful Evergreen bundle (stamps and dies). The trees and the saying were all attached with dimensionals. For accent, I added some gems to the trees and a ribbon with staple on the saying! Product details and shopping links below!!

Sassy Razzle

Hey all, Happy Thursday! Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!

I'm back with the second Sassy Stems card that I mentioned the other day. What's old is new again :) This was a favorite set of mine from many years ago. Back then I used to stamps to do the circles, these are done with sponge daubers!

Card base is Crumb Cake, background is Rich Razzleberry that I stamped the Dotted background on. Love how it makes dots of varying ink intensity! Accent layer of Early Espresso. Vase stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and color dots added in Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow. Razzleberry striped ribbon folded and attached to the side. Iridescent rhinestones added on the Espresso layer and center flowers.

Pear Note

Morning all! Happy Wednesday!!

A creation today with all current items. A creation that is generally not me - a water-colored card!! Introducing Penciled Pear!

This set caught my eye in the catalog after we got moved and the dust settled a bit. Generally coloring is not my thing, but occasionally it is fun, and I LOVE how this came out! Quick and easy too! When I bought the set, I also replaced my watercolor pencils to ensure I had the current color ones. Of course, then when I went to do this, I couldn't find a blender pen or water painter anywhere! I know I have some, just can't put my fingers on them!! But I did have a Wink of Stella pen on my table and wha-lah! it worked perfectly! It shimmers in person too!! New blender pens and water painters incoming :)

Thanks for stopping by today! More creations coming soon! I'm still working on organization as well and things are getting better!! Detailed items used below!

Sassy Birthday

Hey all, back again! I've got the creativity going and there are at least 5 unfinished projects on my desk! And I've made a little headway getting things organized better! Still more to do, but progress! I'm also back to sending birthday cards so I'm continually adding new ones to my stash. And, since I've been going through boxes of stamp sets, I've found some old friends!!

My apologies for using so many retired items lately, but it is what is in front of me! And a goal I have is to use up much of the "stuff" I've accumulated over the last 24+ years! Inspiration is inspiration so I hope I give a little of that. Take the idea and work with something you have!! I know I've said many times before that I expect most of you have stashes just like I do! Hopefully not as much, and I hope you never have to move it :)

Here is one made with Sassy Stems! I also need to work on my pictures - sorry for the bad angle! I will put the light box on my to do list and figure out somewhere to set it up!!

Card base is Early Espresso, background Crumb Cake with a background stamped over in Espresso. Flower image was stamped in Espresso, then I used sponge daubers to apply Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Old Olive inks. Ribbon on the side is Crushed Curry as is the accent panel. Metallic accents on the side and center flowers. Happy Birthday is from a current set, Simply Said.

Quick and easy! I made 2 this morning very similar, I will post those is a few days! Hoping to knock a project or two off my desk this afternoon, or get back on track with the Christmas card challege! So far I'm failing that spectacularly!
