Happy Harvest

Happy Friday to you! I hope you are having a good day. I have a quick post today - got a lot to do this afternoon, but am looking forward to lots of scrappy time this weekend! We also have our 1st soccer games of the season for all of my kids - I am sure I will have pictures to share with you.

I made this card for my monthly card swap with my CaRd cHicKs! The 7 of us try and do a swap every month. These are the same group of girls that I have over to stamp on some Friday nights. I wish they could come over every Friday nights - we have so much fun drinking Starbucks, stamping and laughing!

I used my PTI Vintage Picnic set again. I {heart} this set! I decided to make a fall card to get ready for the season - even though it is still very warm here, I can tell fall is starting to set in. My allergies are starting to kick up again, and it has been cooler (around 75 degrees!) in the mornings. It feels wonderful!

Okay, back to the card - I used all PTI products on this one. I used my Copics to color the image, which was stamped on Stamper's Select White cardstock. I layered the image on Spring Moss and Summer Sunrise. I finally got the courage to cut into my new In Bloom paper pack! I am so bad about hoarding paper and not wanting to cut it, b/c it is so pretty! Hey, there are worse demons to have!! LOL! The sentiment was punched out using SU's new Modern Label Punch and I added a little Summer Sunrise polka-dot ribbon to finish it off.

For the Copics, I used: E50, 51, 53, and 55; YG91, 93 & 95; Y32, 35, & 38. This card measures 4.25 x 4.25 - not sure why, I just love this size! :)

Supplies:

Stamps - Vintage Picnic (PTI)

Paper - Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Stamper's Select White, In Bloom DP (all PTI)

Ink - Memento, Copics

Accessories - Circle Nesties, Summer Sunrise ribbon (PTI), Modern Label Punch (SU), Crop-A-Dile

In remembrance of 9/11,

God Bless America! We Will Not Forget!

God Bless Our Troops!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Fall is here...sort of!

Well, Fall was sort of here today...it was 63 degrees at 6:30 AM when I took Katie to the bus stop. It's now about 77!! Gotta love FL weather!

This is one of my favorite stamp sets right now! The color scheme came from Kristine Werner's blog: http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/2008/10/color-inspiration-23-1.html. The sketch is for the SC196 from SCS! I thought the Vanilla looked a little harsh, so I inked it with some Kiwi Kiss to soften the look. It's hard to tell, but I stamped the pumpkins on vanilla and then stamped it again on watercolor paper and then watercolored it and layered it on top of the vanilla using pop dots.
Recipe: Stamps - Cats & Bats - Inkadinkadoo, "Fall" - Technique Tuesday; Paper - Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, watercolor paper; Ink - Kiwi Kiss, Choc Chip, Staz-on, SU Markers - Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Aqua Painter; Misc - nestabilities, oval punch (SU), fern punch (Martha Stewart), linen thread, Old Olive Ribbon, Swirl CB folder, sponges

TFL!

Fall Thank You

I love this new set of stamps from Inkadinkadoo (Cats & Bats)! I picked these up at the LSS this week and could not wait to use it! :) I made this card as a thank you for a dear friend. The techniques were inspired by one of my favorite crafters, Markie's Mom! I love her stuff and stalk her blog often! :)

I stamped the pumpkins w/ staz-on on watercolor paper and then used SU markers and an aqua painter to blend the colors. I used my nesties for the circles and scallops! (love those things) Then, I sponged really rust and pumpkin pie on all of the edges. The card is made from More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie. The "Thank you" stamp is from the Artfully Asian SU set. I also used: orange stickles, lg. oval punch, pop-dots, black marker for the dots and more mustard ribbon.

TFL!
