I had a hard time choosing a color for these beauties! I always seem to reach for the pinks…oops!!
I stamped these beautiful flowers on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils.
I used the pretty border die called Creative Edges: Scalloped Scallops Die Set as the base for the bottom band. I added a layer of gold card stock as the second layer, carefully measuring just above the detail from the scallop side to where I wanted it from the top edge. For the top layer I used a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock scored in the middle, and then every 3/8″ in both directions.
A few tiny white pearls from my stash were added to the scallop detail. Lastly, I added a few gorgeous Altenew’s Satin Gold Sequins to my card. The sparkle is the perfect final touch.
I am back today after a little break away from crafting. I have been working on setting up some more crafty space to work in. Hoping it will be done soon.
Imagine how excited I was when Altenew asked if I would be interested in working on a collaborated post with them. I have always loved their beautiful products, so of course I said yes…how exciting!!!
All the flower and leaf pieces were die cut from watercolor paper and then colored with Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set. Once these pieces were dry, I added some accents with gold craft paint.
I knew I wanted the flowers to be dimensional so I only glued them in the center portion. This would allow me to bend and curl the layers of petals.
I stamped the stripe background with the stamp set called Pinstripe Stamp Set. The eye catching shape I used for the sentiment base is from the Labels & Tags 2 Die Set. This piece was ink splattered with the same watercolor paints and gold craft paint that I used above.
I chose a fall theme card that features these super adorable little foxes from the Happy Fall Foxes Stamp Set. I couldn’t resist…just look at those sweet faces and big fluffy tails!!
I stamped these little sweet little furballs on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with the following markers.
I started with a 5×5 card base with the top two layers being 1/8″ smaller each layer.
To create the shaker element I die cut the leaf shape once out of the orange print paper, the word paper, and 5 times out of thick white card stock. When you cut this die it gives you a frame and a plain leaf from the center. I used the inside portion of the leaf frame die for the background of the shaker frame.
I attached the white tulle to the back of the orange leaf frame with double sided scor-tape and then attached the first white frame with more scor-tape. The remaining 4 white frames were glued to the tulle ‘sandwich’ one layer at a time. I then added my shaker bits on top of the word print leaf and carefully glued the orange frame stack to the card front making sure that it was lined up perfectly. I used white tulle for the shaker front instead of acetate so I didn’t have a glare on the front.

I started with the bat embossing folder from Whimsy Stamps as my inspiration. I filled the space at the bottom of my card first using the word EEK that I cut out on my Cameo Silhouette. I cut it three times and glued the pieces together as a stack to add dimension.
I then stamped the sentiment from the stamp set adding borders to make it stand out, but still felt it was lacking something. I found this cobweb border from the Silhouette store and trimmed it down to fit my card. I added a few bats and pumpkins to fill in the empty space.

The black print paper at the top of the tags had no green in it, but for balance I wanted it to have some green. So to make it work I used colored pencils to add green over certain design elements. I had so much fun creating these and can’t wait to give them with a gift!

I love the smell of gingerbread cookies baking…yummm!
I stamped these cute little Gingies on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers.

My idea was to make the Gingerbread cuties look like they were part of a Christmas garland. To achieve this I punch tiny holes in their hand with a paper punch and tied them together with red and white bakers twine. The bright red paper I used for the background is from the Hot Cocoa Time 6×6 Paper Pad.

I had the coloring done and images cut out before I even knew what I was going to do with them. I had recently purchased the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Die and the coordinating Platform Pop-Up Add-on and decided I would try a box card for a change.
The paper I chose had an orange print on the opposite side, so I had to come up with some creative thinking so that wouldn’t show…orange kind of clashes with pink…lol! Once I had that all figured out I dug through my dies to find things that would go together and that would fit inside the box.
With the box, grass, fence, and tree being all black I decided to cut out some cloud shapes to resemble a creepy ground fog.
To create the moon, I die cut a circle with the X-Press It Blending Card and just started blending colors together until I thought it looked like a moon.
