Creating Me

Fall is just full of so many wonderful things – especially pumpkins! Here’s a fun card that you can use for Thanksgiving or just to say hello.

I stamped the pumpkin wagon (from Pink Ink Stamp Co.) with brown ink on white card stock. The image is colored with Copic markers. I lightly sponged blue ink on the background and a little tan ink towards the bottom of the panel, then layered the image to brown card stock. I stamped the sentiment (also from Pink Ink Stamp Co.) with orange ink on white card stock, punched it with a label punch, and inked the edges with orange ink. I punched another label from brown card stock, cut it in half, and layered it behind the stamped label so the edges peeked out. This label punch is a discontinued one from Stampin’ Up, but they have a similar one here, or you can just use any punch or die that will fit the size of the stamp.

I embossed a panel of orange card stock with the Scattered Leaves embossing folder from Taylored Expressions. I absolutely love her embossing folders! They give such deep, clean lines when embossing – I can’t recommend them enough!!! I tied the panel with orange ribbon and tied a little piece of twine around the knot. The panel is attached to a brown card. I attached the label to the pumpkin wagon and then attached the piece to the card with foam tape.

I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things of Fall!

The new Cookie Cutter stamps and matching Cookie Cutter Builder punch from Stampin’ Up are just so cute!! They also have a set with Christmas images.

Here’s a card using the sweet scarecrow image. Send this card to friends to let them know how thankful you are for them.

Stamp the scarecrow with brown ink on white card stock. Color the image with Copic markers, punch out, and attach to a brown card stock oval with foam tape. To make the background, stamp a leaf image (mine is an old stamp from Rubber Stampede – use any leaf stamp you have) with brown and orange ink randomly on white card stock. Attach stamped panel to orange card stock, attach ribbon, and attach the panel to a brown card.

Stamp the sentiment (from the Bountiful Owl set from Unity Stamp Company) with orange ink on white card stock and punch out with a label punch. (This is a discontinued punch from Stampin’ Up, but you can use any punch or die that you have in the same way.) Punch another label from orange card stock, cut it in half, and layer it behind the stamped sentiment. Attach the scarecrow and the sentiment to the card with foam tape.

So thankful for the sweet friends I’ve been blessed with!!

I fell in love with this simple Pumpkin Pie Card the first time I saw it last year! I finally made my own card inspired by the genius idea of making the pie using punches.

I punched a circle of orange card stock, lightly inked the edges with brown ink, and layered it to a scalloped circle punched from white card stock. Then I cut a small wedge from the piece to mimic a slice of pie. I punched another scalloped circle from brown card stock and attached both sections of the pie, offsetting the scallops so the brown peeks out behind the white.(It’s kind of hard to see in the picture, but you can see the brown around the slice of pie.)

Emboss a piece of lighter brown card stock with the Dotted Lattice embossing folder from Taylored Expressions and attach it to a white card. Stamp sentiment from the Bountiful Owl set from Unity Stamp Company on white card stock with orange ink. Punch out with the Decorative Label Punch from Stampin’ Up. Punch another label from orange card stock, cut it in half horizontally, and layer behind stamped label. Attach both the pie and the sentiment to the card with foam tape.

This is such a fun idea – I’m sure glad that Sweet Pea Bunny thought of it and shared it with the rest of us!!

Halloween Greetings! This little cutie is one of the itty bitty stamps from Unity Stamp Company. I love her because she is cute and not so spooky – I’m not really a fan of the spooky side of Halloween. Just give me all that yummy candy and I’m a happy girl! 🙂

I stamped her with black ink on white card stock, colored her with Copic markers, and lightly inked the edges of the panel with black ink. I layered the image to green card stock that has one edge punched with a scalloped edge punch. The sentiment is stamped with black ink on white card stock and layered to orange card stock. The spider web background is a piece of white card stock embossed with the spider web embossing folder from Darice. I cut the panel into 3 equal pieces and then lightly inked them with black ink. The pieces are attached to a panel of black card stock leaving a small space between the pieces. I attached a thin strip of patterned paper over the spider web and attached the finished panel to an orange card. The stamped images are attached to the card with foam tape.

I hope she makes you smile!  🙂  🎃

This little guy is dropping by to wish you a Happy Fall. He is just so adorable! You can find him here with a couple of his friends at Darcie’s Rubber Stamps.

I stamped the owl with brown ink on white card stock, colored him with Copic markers, and punched him with a scalloped circle punch. I layered the stamped image to a circle punched from orange card stock.The sentiment is stamped with brown ink on white card stock and punched with an oval punch.

To assemble the card, emboss a panel of turquoise card stock with the Scattered Leaves embossing folder from Taylored Expressions. Attach to a kraft card. Attach owl and sentiment to the card with foam tape. Punch 2 tiny leaves and attach to the card with foam tape.

I think he is just a hoot! 😉
