Fall is in the Air

Fall is definitely in the air in our neck of the woods.  There is that crispness about the temperature.  For my project for OCS, I've chosen to use the YNS stamp "Ellie loves walking her dog"  and the fence / grass from High Hopes' Garden Gate Background. Both images were stamped onto XPress-It Blend Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and then colored with P1010696 copyCopic Markers
I chose DP from Basic Grey's Pyrus Collection, with the rich warm colors of Autumn. 
This month's challenge at OCS is under way with a "Clear or Transparent" challenge for all of you.  Go to the OCS DT blog and scroll down to add your creation.  Hope to see you there!!

Autumn Days

There is a crispness in the air, leaves are turning color and falling to the ground, and it's time for Terrific Tuesday at One Crazy Stamper. The challenge this month is to make a project with clear/acetate elements.
 
This is High Hopes "Hay Ride", which I colored with Copics, fussy cut and then mounted on a raised shaker box. The shaker box is filled with glitter and beads to represent the changing autumn colors. Both the frame and the background dp is from Simple Stories Harvest Lane collection pack. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Autumn Letter Seals, which I also purchased at One Crazy Stamper.
 
The month is young and you still have plenty of time to get creative and enter to win a fabulous prize here on the challenge blog, and don't forget that One Crazy Stamper is currently running a Design Team Call.  For full details please read about both the challenge and the DT call by clicking on the headers at the top of the blog.

Baby its cold outside PINK

017

I’ve been seeing some really cute cards with negative die cuts on them so I tried it with these new Whimsy Stamp dies. But I liked the look of it with the die cuts not removed, so I kept them intact.  I added one of my favorite Winter time sentiments and some twine.

I love pink and I love pink even more used non traditionally, like for Christmas. I’d love to know what’s your favorite color?

Birthday Boy

015

My little guy just had his 6th Birthday and I made him this card.  He has some stuffed lions and tigers that he plays with all the time so this image from Whimsy is just perfect for the occasion.

Rainbows

006

I really love the Al a mode stamps from My Favorite Things and there a bunch of new ones in the OCS store. I colored this with my Copics and added all that gorgeous color with my Viva Deor pens.  I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a card with rainbow colors on it!  And I love it even more when its on a clean white background.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  Scroll down for the DT call going on now for OCS.

Shadow Box Card Tutorial

We kicked off our October challenge yesterday and my card was a super simple shadow box card. So I'm back today to show you the details of that.


  I used a 12” x 4” piece of paper and scored it at 5.5” and 6.5” inches. Here’s what the dimensions of the card look like. 








I adhered my pattern paper prior to cutting the frame out from my card. This saved me from having to measure and line up the paper after.
Even though this was super easy, it was fun to do something out of the ordinary for me. So how about it? Go try something new today!
Thanks for taking a look!
