Happy Fall

 I love having seasonal cards in my stash. The inside is left blank so I can include a sentiment for whatever the reason I am sending a card - thank you, just a note and thinking of you to name a few. When I saw the "Ryan & Ainsley" stamp in the High Hopes line up I knew they would be perfect to not only help celebrate fall but to add to my stash. How cute are these two!?!! 

                                                       

I stamped these cuties on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out using a circle die. I didn't colour the grass all the way down to the bottom of the circle so I cut the bottom of the circle off and mounted it on a piece of card stock. Patterned paper from the Fall pad from Echo Park worked perfectly for my card. After cutting a piece of the gingham paper to fit the card base, I cut a matching piece with a banner die. I didn't have the next size up to create a card stock banner to put it so I traced the outside of the banner die and cut it to size. 

Next, I cut a piece of flower paper to go in between the gingham layers and added it to matching card stock. I like putting the card stock behind each layer as I think it helps define each layer. I masked off the sentiment - it has a "y'a'll" at the end of it - with a post it note, inked and stamped it and added it to a piece of card stock. Some cotton lace ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Fall Fun

  I grew up on a fairly large property with lots of trees. In the fall, one of our jobs was to rake the leaves. It wasn't always our favourite job but there were times where we took a break, raked the leaves into a big pile and had some fun jumping in the pile and throwing them at each other. Of course this left more raking to do to get them back in the pile to be put into bags and it also left leaves in our hair and clothes! We were sure to clean those off before going in the house! 

The "Fall Joy" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps brings back some of these fun memories! Fall is my favourite time of year so I am happy to celebrate all things fall and Halloween this month.

                                                          

 After stamping onto alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured this fun stamp with Copic markers and cut it out using a rectangle die. Patterned paper from two different Honey Bee pads gave me a perfect background - since the stamp is "busy" I wanted to use a more neutral back ground. I cut the paper to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base, inked the edges and added them to matching card stock. 

The sentiment is a combination of words from two different sentiments. To create my sentiment I masked off each stamp to get the word I wanted, lined them up and stamped them separately. When they were stamped I cut them out using an oval die, put it on matching card stock and hand cut the shape. Next, I added some twine to the patterned paper pieces, glued them down, and added the stamped image with 3D foam tape. Some leaf die cuts and enamel dots finish off my card.

Fall Pumpkin Patch

Fall is just around the corner and that means the pumpkin patches will soon be open to pick the perfect pumpkin or pumpkins for your fall decor, Halloween or baking your favourite fall treat...pumpkin pie - yum! 

"Pumpkin Patch" from High Hopes reminds me of the fun days ahead. 

I coloured this fun stamp with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils for some shading. I originally cut this out with rectangle die......but I messed up the clouds so........fussy cutting it was! The background is created with some inked clouds and a grass tuft die and the stamp is glued on top. The sentiment is masked off from a larger sentiment and all the edges were inked with versa mark ink.  I kept the design of this one a little more simple to keep the focus on this gorgeous stamp. Paper from Simple Stories and Echo Park were perfect for a bit of a country feel. Some enamel dots and ribbon are the finishing touches.
