Wynona Pumpkin Kitty

Hello there!

How's it going?

I hope all is well with everyone.

I certainly cannot complain!

Today I have a card project created for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

I have used the adorable digi called

Wynona Pumpkin Kitty.

My card is a rocker style done with scalloped die cuts.

The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

She is popped with foam tape over flourishes, a fence and

scalloped circle dies cuts. I inked the blue and green in the background.

The sentiment was stamped.

I do hope you'll check this cutie out along with all the other

fabulous digis available in Conie's Etsy Shop.

Also, I hope you'll join us over on Facebook at

Conie Fong Art & Design Group.

You'll find lots of inspiration there and we welcome you to share your

creations using Conie Fong products!

Halloween Time

Hi there!

It's time for this week's

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

This week's DT card is all about autumn colors

mixed with a tiny bit of Halloween!

The focal image is from the new

Autumn Fall Halloween Treat Printables.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

I've stenciled the sky with blue ink and die cut the hills with

Noodle Panda Set 2 Printable Paper.

The fence was die cut and embossed with an embossing folder.

I printed the sentiment from Ghastly Ghost Halloween Printables and die cut.

Challenge theme is

ANYTHING GOES!

Trick or Treat Card

Happy Thursday!

Today I am posting on behalf of

Stampers Delights!

This inspiration card was created with

Chibi I'm Batty 4 U.

The digi was colored with pencil colors.

I used a round die to cut around the image.

The background was done with a bat patterned card stock and

solid color banners which were die cut or hand cut.

The sentiment was stamped and trimmed.

The 3 orange dots in the upper right were punched with a plain old paper punch.

Stampers Delights Facebook Fan Group

Quick & Easy Greeting Card Set

Hey there! I'm here today with a quick and easy project created for CutCardStock.

This is a greeting card set using Basis A-2 Folded Blank Note Cards, which are on special this month. These card blanks are great and make it super easy to make cards quickly. Make a set and give as a gift or keep for yourself to use. I used a color wash technique and stamped silhouette images with black ink directly on the card bases. Can’t really get much easier than that!

Materials

Basis A-2 Folded Blank Note Cards in Natural

Inkadinkadoo Meadow Stamp Set

Gemini Joyful Phrases Stamp Set

Spectrum Noir Finesse Stamp Pad Noir Black

Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens in Moonstone, Soft jade, Moonlight, Rose Quartz, Cosmos and Clear

Color Washing

One color of sparkle pen was used on each card. Just simply “scribble” the color on and blend with the clear sparkle pen.

I also rubbed over the color with a dry paper towel just to smooth out a little more and help dry.

Stamping

I used a Tim Holtz Stamping Platfrom for the stamping. This makes it so easy to stamp uniformly on each card.

The same floral image and butterfly were stamped on each card. The sentiments are different. And we have a complete set of 5!

Now, I could have stopped here but, decided to put together a folio to hold the card set.

Folio

An 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of Basis NATURAL 80lb Cardstock was used.

I scored at 5 1/2 inches along the 11 inch side and 2 1/2 inches along the 8 1/2 inch side.

Cut along the center score mark up to the 2 1/2 inch score mark. Then make an angled cut from the bottom to the center to form tabs. This will form the pockets on either side of the folio.

Add double sided tape to the outside of the pocket tabs, fold up and adhere.

To decorate the front cover of the folio I used the same stamp as the cards. I stamped onto a piece of Basis Natural card cut to 4 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches. This piece was layered onto a piece of Stardream Metallic KUNZITE 105lb Card Stock measuring 4 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches. A 28 inch piece of ribbon was cut to act as a closure.

The ribbon was adhere to the center of the folio’s front and back covers and the stamped piece was placed over.

Slip the cards and your envelopes into the pockets, tie the ribbon and this quick and easy greeting card set is complete and ready for gifting and/or use.

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.
