Today I am sharing a few cards I created as part of my DT assignment for Echo Park using the Handmade Halloween collection
Such a fun collection to work with. I love the more neutral colours rather than purples, greens and oranges.
There are free instructions for these up on the Echo Park website.
Do you create Halloween cards?
It has been so hot here that I have been making iced coffee’s at home to have something besides water. I have absolutely been making them big and in my water tumblers LOL Thus… this card is not wrong ha!
I have used the Art Impressions Stay Hydrated Clear Stamps and Dies isn’t it fun?!
I had created my Echo Park DT assignment using the Here Comes Fall collection and it was still out so I decided, since I haven’t paper pieced in awhile, it was time. It’s a great way to use up scraps.
For the sentiment, it was one that I had made and printed up on my computer. I mounted both the sentiment and image on foam squares for some dimension.
So tell me, what size is your coffee?
I was able to play along with a few challenges and was happy to ink up one of my newer purchases. The Speedy Stamp from Unity.
I used the sketch from JUGS and the papers are from the Flower Shoppe collection from Carta Bella which is available at Simon Says Stamp. For the waves I used and old MFT backgrond die. The Hello is from CTMH. To create the bubbles I used a circle punch and some sequins. After coloring the turtle with my copics I then added some Glossy Accents to his shell and mounted him on foam squares.
The sentiment is from the CZ Design Stamps and Dies Just Sayin set
Playing along with:
Ooohhh this new Unity KOMpanion stamp set had me. Anyone who knows me knows I love Santa, I have a collection of them – especially love the cute ones just like this stamp he’s my favourite.
Both cards were made using an old Carta Bella collection, called, of course Dear Santa.
I colored both images pretty similar and added some sparkles to the fur and pom pom on his hat. The label punch for this card is from Stampin’ Up!
Of course after coloring and fussy cutting I mounted him on foam squares.
And with all of my Christmas or Winter themed cards, they never seem fully complete until some snowflakes are added somewhere.
Now if you need this stamp set, and I believe you do… go grab it as it is on sale right now!
The new Inspired By Challenge is up. I love this one. My grandma always had blue hydrangeas on either side of her front door (and I actually have one in my yard that is a cutting that was started form one of hers!)
I was inspired by the theme, colors,, hydrangeas, and loosely by the sketch. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew that the new Flower Shoppe collection by Carta Bella was perfect ( I absolutely love this new collection!)
I used an old MFT background die to add some more depth to the background. Then I layered on pieces of the pattern paper and one of the frames from the Frames & Tags and then stitched. I then topped with a hydrangea sticker. As always I adhered the sticker to scrap paper and fussy cut out so I could mount of foam squares. The thank you is also a sticker from the collection.
Hey everyone, the new Inspired By challenge is up. It is such a pretty one. I was inspired by the colors, sketch, flowers and umbrella to create my card.
I thought the new Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella worked well. I love the soft pretty colors and how can you not love the cute little geese.
Now come and play along we would love to see how you are inspired!
Thankfully I don’t feel this anymore but I’m sure my husband does!
For today’s card I have used one of this month’s KOMpanion kits from Unity called Hare-brained
I paired it with the Coffee Shop collection from Carta Bella
I thought the coffee themed papers were perfect.
So tell me, how do you feel about Mondays?
Now go grab this stamp set while it’s on sale!
The Addicted to CAS challenge is weather and I thought of the Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella, so many sweet images!
I fussy cut the goose sentiment and sun all from one of the 3X4 cards in the paper pack. The Smile was from another card. The goose and sun are mounted on foam squares for dimension. The paper strip at the bottom was a scrap that was ripped already, I just cut it to the right size. It is such pretty paper.
Hey everyone, Laurel here. I am excited to share my take on this week’s Inspired By challenge. I was inspired by the theme and the envelopes. I used the Be Mine collection for the pattern paper and ephemera. To create the envelope, I used my envelope punch board from WR Memory Keepers. Love that it can make so many different sizes. The heart die is from Elle’s Studio and I cut the XO with my Silhouette I figure I could tuck a gift certificate into this.
I hope you come and play along with us!
I am also playing along with the following challenges:
I had to play with the Seen & Herd stamp again while it was out. This time I paired it with some old Carta Bella paper. The CTMH journal card happen to be on my desk so I used that and I decided a bit of burlap from my stash would work well too. How is that for stash busting LOL
I added a bit of liquid glass (also from CTMH… man I am sad they closed) to the cow’s eyes for some interest. And of course the image is mounted on foam squares for some dimension.
Be sure to grab this stamp set while it is on SALE!
