Fall Collage

This card was inspired by a Christmas card I did (I haven't shared it yet) and thought it would look cool using the French Foliage set from the mini catalog.

I base I used a bunch of the stamps in a variety of colors and angles to get the collage. When I made the leaves I inked up my stamp and then spritzed the stamp with my shimmer mist prior to stamping on the paper. It gives the leaves a nice shimmery effect. If you click on the picture to the left you can see it. I added the crimped piece to the back along with a few other cardstock pieces. Lastly added some ribbon and the clip. It's a great card for this time of year!! Happy Stamping!!

Throwback Thursday - Turkey Talk

Here is a little gift packaging I did for a friend; it uses some of my old stamp sets.

The turkey is from Turkey Talk on of my coveted Thanksgiving stamp sets. The saying and the DSP are one last years catty. The DSP is Tall Tales and the saying is from Holiday Best. I colored my turkey with the watercolor pencils and blended them in with my aquapainter. Happy Stamping!!

Decor Stencils

This was another one from my archives that I didn't have a chance to share last year.

I made the tag using the decor stencil Vintage Ornaments I. I used the flourish and spread paste on it, took off the stencil and then let it dry. I then let it dry before I cut it out. It added a nice touch to the glass. Happy Stamping!!

Falling Leaves

This is actually a card from my archives that I didn't share last year. This set was in a mini catalog but made it into the big catty this year. It's called Autumn Splendor.

I kept the base of this card simple but the leaves I put a lot of color and texture. I embossed the leaves then sponged on different fall colors onto the leaves. When I attached them to the card I curled the edges to give it the leafy feel. Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper Project #8 - So Many Thanks

Here is the scarpbook page I made using So Many Thanks.

I ran a long row of the stamp down the left side. I used my stampin-majig. It's a very simple page but I didn't want to take away from the picture which is a picture of the middle section of the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. To top off the page I added the double ribbon bow. Happy Stamping!

Display Stamper Projct #7 - So Many Thanks

Here is my second 3-d project I created using the So Many Thanks stamp and probably my favorite from this grouping.

I made it with my big shot and box #2 die. I left the lid open to make it into a handle. To get the multi color in the stamp I just colored in the words with my markers before stamping. You can fill it with candy or add some 3x3 cards to the inside or a ton of other things. Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper Project #6 - So Many Thanks

Ok now that Halloween is over just wanted to share the last couple of display stamper projects I did. So here is the next one using the So Many Thanks stamp.

I created this with my big shotand the pizza box die technically it is called the bitty box die but to me it looks like a pizza box. Pretty simple huh? But very cute!! Happy Stamping!!
