Chrysanthemum Season


Good day! I am in Colorado and the weather is still like summertime. It is hard to believe it is fall. However, the telltale signs are here. The trees are beautiful and people have their mums out in all their glory! 
This Chrysanthemum Corner stamp is fabulous to create a lovely card! I stamped it on heather gray card stock in black and then used a sentiment from Lavender Friendship sentiments (they fit perfectly snug in the right spot!). I added 3 tiny strips of washi tape and colored the mums in daffodil delight. Matted in black and mounted on a white card base.
Don't forget to check out our new releases for October which will be happening on the 2nd of October!

Take Time

 



 This is a combination of several stamps and techniques. I spritzed shimmer spray over the stamped image Leaves Background.  The I stamped Dripping Spider Web on vellum and the verse Leaves Turn just below it.  I added a few iridescent rhinestones for interest.

Grateful Leaves Trio

 


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I have a fun card to share with you.  These new Grateful Leaves from Technique Junkies have the words carved into the stamps, so I stamped all three of them with a rustic purple ink and then cut them out with scissors.  I used the same ink to stamp the Distressed Paint background, and then I arranged the leaves and adhered them with foam tape.  I love this Distressed Paint stamp - it goes with just about anything when you want that crackled, distressed, woodgrain-ish look.  The final touch was some sheer ribbon wrapped around the top as an elegant contrast to the distressed background.  

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your order, so check out the Grateful Leaves and the Distressed Paint stamps.  You can see all of the September release stamps HERE and you can check out the newest Diamond Dragonflies Kit HERE.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Fright Night and Spooky Pumpkin Frame

Hello! Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here with a fun Halloween Card. I used the new Spooky Pumpkin Frame and the previously released Fright Night Sentiment. I also used Catherine Pooler Inks. You can find all these products here:  https://techniquejunkies.com/  Use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your entire order

I ink blended my background with foam domed daubers using these Catherine Pooler Ink Colors: Chiffon, Catching Rays and Glitz. I stamped the Spooky Pumpkin Frame onto the ink blended background using Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I stamped the Fright Night sentiment, trimmed it with the Deckle Trimmer and popped the sentiment up with foam tape. I backed the sentiment with a piece black mat cardstock, trimmed with the Deckle Trimmer. I used dies from my stash to add three black  bats to the panel. I used a piece of yellow cardstock for a mat and placed it onto black A2 Card Base. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today!

Box of Crayon Leaves


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  It alllllmost feels like fall here, because the mornings are just a tiny bit cooler and crisper than they have been over the past four months.  We are still in the 90's in the afternoons, so it's not quite there yet, but I do think there is some hope for some cool fall weather on the horizon.  So with that in mind, I had a lot of fun with today's card.  

I stamped the new Leaves background from Technique Junkies with a dark brown permanent ink onto some white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I had a blast watercoloring the leaves in various shades of yellow, orange, red, green, and magenta.  While this was drying, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn set (Technique Junkies) with the same dark brown ink I used for the background.  That sentiment says it all, and it really does look like I used all the crayons in the box to color those leaves, doesn't it?  LOL

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your entire order, so grab this beautiful new Leaves Background stamp and check out all the great fall stamps from this month's release HERE.  Have a great day!

A Gel Plate Autumn

My creation today was done by brayering some fall color acrylic paints onto the gel plate and then stamped the Leaves Background onto the plate. Next, I brayered a thin layer of white acrylic paint onto the gel plate. Lastly, I pulled the print using a piece of white card stock. I absolutely love the look I got! I stamped the Pumpkin Spice sentiment in a deep red and distressed the sentiment panel by sponging. Matted with the same color and put both on a white card base.
