November Birthday Card

 Hello there!

Sharing my DT card for this week's

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

Challenge theme:

ANYTHING GOES

The team was asked to created a November Birthday Card. 

My November birthday card was created with Leaves Autumn Fall Fox. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The birdhouse was printed from the Ephemera Autumn Fall Fox Printables. It was fussy cut before adding to the card. The plaid patterned paper was printed from the Snow Day Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Printables. I stamped the sentiment with one of the stamps from the Birthday Celebrations 4 x 8" Clear Stamp Set.

Happy Together Layout

Oh, how I love vintage photos! How about you? 

They are perfect for creating a special layout project.

Hey there! Today I'm sharing my latest project for CutCardStock.

Materials

Solid Card Stock  DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Ginger Snap Card Stock  Cougar WHITE 12 x 12 Medium to Heavyweight Discount Card Stock   Bazzill Canvas Texture 8.5×11 Monochromatic Peach (Hopi) 80lb Cardstock  Pop Tone HOT FUDGE 8.5×11 Discount Card StockPop Tone GUM DROP GREEN 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

2 pieces of patterned card stock, flower, foliage and flourish dies, enamel dots, brown ink pad

Background

Cut a piece of the 12 x 12  Cougar White Card Stock to 11 x 11 inches.

Ink this piece of card stock with brown ink for a vintage look.

Adhere the inked card stock to a 12 x 12 inch piece of the Ginger Snap Card Stock.

Layout Components

The next step is to cut card stock to use to form the layout.

One of the pattern papers measures 7 1/2 x 7 inches and the other 4 1/2 x 7 inches. Also cut 2 pieces of the 1st pattern paper to 3/4 x 5 inches and 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches.

Cut 3 pieces of the Hot Fudge Card Stock. One measures 1 x 9 inches. The second measures 3 1/2 x 4 inches and the third should measure 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches.

A piece of the Peach Card Stock is cut to 2 x 6 1/2 inches.

Begin adding the cut pieces of card stock and the photo to the background as seen in the photos.

Die Cutting

I die cut a variety of sizes of flowers out of the Peach Card Stock. Cut out 2 different types of leaves from the Hot Fudge and Gum Drop Card Stock. The Ginger Snap Card Stock works well for for some flourishes.

Finishing

Begin adding the die cut pieces in the lower right corner. 

The layout title is one from my stash and goes under the photo.

Continue adding until you are happy with placement.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my layout project.

My Heart Goes Fizz

Happy Thursday!

Today I'm sharing a cute and fun little card created for

Pajama Crafter Stamps! 

I've used one of this month's new release stamp sets

Soda-lightful

The cute little creature and the cans were colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

They were fussy cut before adding to the background comprised of

a patterned paper and 2 pieces of solid card stock which were embossed.

I stamped the bubble stamp twice with a light brown ink and fussy cut.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink on white card stock,

which I trimmed down and cut into a banner shape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fun Halloween Memory-Dex Cards

Hi there! 

Today I have a pretty quick and easy, fun Halloween 

themed project created for Clear Scraps!

I am using a set of Rounded Chipboard Memory-Dex Dividers. These dividers work with most rolodex and other systems. Approximate size is 4.0"x3.5" and can be decorated in a variety of ways.

To start my project I went through my stash of Halloween materials and pulled out a Recollections Paper Pad and some stickers from Jolee’s Boutique.

Three papers were chosen from the paper pad which I am using to cover the dividers. To do this I traced the dividers on the backside of the papers and fussy cut.

The papers were adhered with glue.

I also fussy cut images that were printed on 2 of the papers I used. The image on the third is on the part of the paper I adhered to one of the dividers. A border was cut for one of the dividers out of a shiny metallic card stock.

All that’s left to do is add the cute ghost stickers to the cards.

Thanks so much for taking a look at my project!

Beccy's Place Country Christmas

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone's week is of a good start.

No complaints from me!

Just happy to be here today posting for

Beccy's Place!

The card I'm sharing today was created with one of this month's new digital stamp sets,

Country Christmas.

*************************************************

When you purchase this digital set, you will receive a zip file containing:
- 5 black and white line drawings
- 5 full colour images
- 5 word images / sentiments

*********************************************************

My card design is really pretty simple.

I printed the digi and colored with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting.

An older patterned paper from Crafter's Companion, which I've had for quite awhile

was cut down for my card background.

I adhered the fussy cut image to the center, printed one of the sentiments and die cut.

It was added to the top left corner.

Check this set out!

It's perfect for this year's holiday cards!

 

Fall Wall Decor

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a Fall Wall Decor project created for Clear Scraps!

I’ll be using the Large Circle Shiplap Shape and the Large Tractor Chipboard Embellishment.

To start I added an ivory acrylic paint to the shiplap shape with a brush and then rubbed some off with a dried baby wipe.

Next I added a burnt ochre paint sporadically and around the edge before rubbing with the wipe to give an aged effect.

The tractor is painted next with bronze and black acrylic paint. I added black circles cut out of card stock to the center of the wheels.

A digital barn image purchased on Etsy was printed. 

I tore around the edges of the print and inked with a brown stamp pad. 

Mod podge was applied to the back of the print.

The print was adhered to the shiplap shape. Mod podge was added over the front surface of the shiplap and dried with a heat gun.

Time to add the tractor. I added some pieces of cardboard to the backside for a little dimension, before adhering to the shiplap.

Ribbon and sunflowers were pulled out.

I made a 3 loop bow and added to the top of the shiplap circle.

5 sunflowers were added.

I wanted to add a little something more, so pulled out a Blessed Chipboard Word Title.

Color was add to the word title with an alcohol marker.

The project is complete.

I hope you like my project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
