THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30TH  AT 10AM EST!

My first card to share today features the brand new Round About Foliage Dies set, the brand new Autumn Harvest Dies, and the brand new Thanks All Ways stamp set! My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with woodgrain, and then that gorgeous new wreath!! The inspo for this card came from my own front door! Our front door is wood, and I always hang a big fall wreath on it, just like this!

I chose to watercolor for this card....so all the white/cream pieces of paper are watercolor paper. I used my favorite watercolors in a wet/wet technique to add loose and flowy colors in those warm autumn tones. I do love to sit and watercolor... It's so relaxing! I die cut two of the wreath dies, and then die cut a few extra to add double layers to some of the parts - a little more dimension.

Here's a side view of my layers and pieces.... The pumpkins are from the new Autumn Harvest Dies set and I think they went together perfectly with the wreath. I love that Tied Up Bow set too!!

I heat embossed in gold - the word thankful....and then added a little banner above it to complete my sentiments.

As I'm known to do, a little splash of gold paint to make it warm and pretty....

Next up is a BIG and BOLD card with some pretty pumpkins! This card features the brand new Plump Pumpkins Dies, and the brand new Fall Folk Dies!! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with black, vellum, and those gourd-geous pumpkins!! I chose orange and teal to make them pop! I've never seen this kind of cool look with the inset dies. I absolutely love it!!

Here's a side view of my layers and a close up of those pumpkins!! I wanted this card to be super graphic and kind of modern...

I die cut the matching leaves from gold glitter paper because I didn't want to add green into the color palette here....Also, makes it very modern...

I wanted the pumpkins to look like the were lit from inside. I die cut a large teal pumpkin and a small orange pumpkin. Then I used the Folk dies to cut the design into the front. I die cut a second pumpkin for each one, in white cardstock. On the white pumpkins, I used distress inks and blender brushes to ink blend golden tones. Then I glued the shaded pumpkins behind the colorful pumpkins. It was hard to photo, but it looks really pretty in person!!

For my sentiment I gold embossed the sentiment onto a vellum strip. The background is black cardstock with the Patchwork Quilt Die!

Okay, guys, this next card is SUPER fun and unique!!! This card features the brand new Elegant Arches/Entrance dies, the brand new Thanks All Ways stamp set, and the brand new Autumn Harvest dies. It also features the pretty Stencilscapes/Autumn stencils.... The card opens up like a door or window!! It's really neat. My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with woodgrain paper for my door....

Here is the outside of the door and the front of the card....

I die cut the new Entrance Arches from the woodgrain paper. I affixed vellum to the back of the windows....

I used the new Autumn Harvest dies to make the wheat stalks and the little pumpkins to place outside... I cut out some little rectangles to look like panels on the front door. A little ink blending and splattering to make it aged...

I really adore the Stencilscapes stencils! I die cut an arch from white cardstock and then inked up the stencils in warm fall colors... I added more pumpkins and the rest of my sentiment on top of my stenciled panel.

Here's a close up of my layers... I die cut the Potal Die from cream cardstock, and used the beautiful Berry Branch Stencils to lightly stencil the background...

The new Wildwood stamp set is a big set with loads of multi step flowers! You can mix and match to your heart's content.... I used vintage tones of yellow, aqua and coral for my florals.... The sentiment is one of the pretty sentiments in the stamp set, and it has a matching die!!

The flower centers and the sentiment were stamped in dark brown ink to keep the warm, vintage feeling. I feel like black would have been too harsh...

Hi friends! WOOOHOOOOO! Let's start this week off right!! Happy Monday, and happy Greetery Release Week! I am so happy to share this newest collection with you! Are you excited?? It's almost September, and time to do Fall crafting! I could not be happier! The new release is called Harvest Fest and it is all the beautiful and wonderful things for Autumn.... Think caramel apples, and pies, and leaves, and pumpkins.... Oh YES! We have two reveal days this release, today and tomorrow.

Lots of fun, photos, inspiration, and new things!! Let's get started and have some fun!! Get your pumpkin spice latte ready to spend some time with me this week! XO

THE NEW RELEASE DAY IS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30TH AT 10AM EST!

 

My first card for today features the brand new Caramel Apples Dies and the brand new Foodie Phrases (so cute) and the brand new Herringbone Parquet dies. The card was inspired by our local orchards we love to visit in the Fall. My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with red, cream, plaid, and kraft. I created a little shop scene! I wish I could eat this card!! Do you like red apples or green apples with caramel? I like the green ones!!

How cute is the font on this new sentiment set??? LOVE it!! I also used it in another card today so you'll see more of it!

The caramel apple die set has that juicy apple, the stick, two kinds of caramel (for the top or the bottom), leaves and the bow. It's actually perfect. I die cut out everything from cardstock and then shaded with distress inks and a small dauber. I splattered on just a tiny bit of gold paint for warmth. For the caramel, I glued together two die cut pieces so that it would stand up more off the apple.

Here's a close up of that new Herringbone Parquet Die!!! I die cut it, ink blended it, splattered it.... Ha. I wanted it to look like an old wooden counter in the orchard store.... I die cut a plaid tablecloth from the Coaster die.

Next up is a sweet Acorn card with a bit of a vintage feeling.... My card features the brand new Jumbo Acorn Die along with some of my other favorite Greetery supplies. The finished card is a kraft A2 horizontal card base. I layered with more kraft, some patterned papers, and then a pretty cream tag.

I used the Aida Cloth Background to add some texture to the background layer. I die cut my acorn pieces from colored cardstock and inked up the pieces with Copic Markers. I used the Crimped Circle Tag for my focus point.

Okay, so if you're still hungry after that caramel apple, how about some pumpkin pie!?! Yeah!! My last card for today features the brand new To Pie For dies along with the brand new Fall Foodie Phrases! My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with orange gingham, woodgrain and more cream.... Now I'm hungry again!! Hee hee.

Here's a close up of that delicious pie!! MMMMMM. I die cut the pie pieces from dark orange and cream cardstocks. I inked the edges of the pie pieces with Antique Linen Distress Ink to look like it was baked and brown like it just came from the oven. I used chunky glitter to look like sugar on the little accent pieces. Looks good enough to eat!! 

The square background piece is actually the Stitched Scallop Notecard die, but cut in half! This way I could use it as a frame for my pie. I ink blended just the top of the square, ombre fashion, to add some more color.

My second card for today features the brand new Holiday Hugs stamps and dies!! It's the cutest bear, and he has items he can hold in his hands. Of course I chose the mug of cocoa for him to hold! I debated making him a white polar bear, or a fluffy brown bear.... He is colored with Copic Markers and I love his colorful scarf! My finished card is an A2 card base...

Here's a side view of my card. I used the pretty striped background in red and white because it reminded me of candy canes... I stamped and colored the bear and mug and colored with Copics. I added white gel pen accents and a bit of glitter on the marshmallows....

There is a separate die cut included in the die set, and it cuts out his hands so he can hold the items. It's so clever! I added his mug and a little heart for good measure...

Instead of paper I used black enamel dots - I think it looks like shiny coal...and makes them stand out more! I used the stencil to add one more snowflake behind the snowman hat.

Next up is a sweetheart candy cane card! I used the brand new Candy Cane Dies and the new Holiday Season Messages stamps and dies... I used a pretty vellum heart to feature the candy canes. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with kraft, teal and then vellum. The star is those fun and cheery candy canes!

I made the candy canes with white and red cardstock and then sprinkled on some white paint for snow.... The bow is die cut from sparkly cardstock and finished with a big red enamel dot. I kept this card very clean and simple, and it would be a good one to mass produce for Christmas cards....

Pretty Pink Posh New Release - Halloween Mug and Spooky Wishes!

Hi crafty friends! Won't you have a cuppa with me today? A very spooooooky cuppa!! Today I'm sharing another project I made with the brand new Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Release! I adore this new release so much! The PPP Halloween release is one of the highlights of my creative year!  (CLICK HERE to see my other three cards made with the new items)!   Today is the start of the big Instagram Hop to celebrate the new PPP Release! So be sure to head over to Instagram and leave a comment to be able to win a PPP gift certificate! As always with an Instagram Hop, I'm sharing my card here too. I have been waiting to share this one, because I love how it came out! I had a blast making it, combining so many fun elements.... Let's go! 

My finished card is a white A2 card base, covered with cool black and white stripey paper. I layered an inked up wonky rectangle, and then my mug and add-ons. I am featuring the brand new Halloween Mug Additions....along with lots of the other mug dies. I can't wait every month to see the new add ons!! I used purple on this card - which I rarely use - but I love it! Especially contrasted with the orange and yellow.... My card has everything: pumpkin, candy corn, stars, spider and even a tombstone!

Here's a close up of ALLLLL the spooky things on my card!! I started by die cutting all of the elements from colored cardstock. Then I shaded/colored with Copic Markers on top of the cardstock pieces. I also added some splatters and also white gel pen accents. I added glitter glue to the whipped cream and the stars... It was really fun to put this all together.

I used the Graduation Mug Dies to make the "31" numbers. I shaded around the numbers with a gray Copic. For the Tombstone I added different gray shades to make it look like granite. The candy corns are from the Candy Treats Die set released last year.

The sentiment is from the Ghost Friends stamp set and matching dies....

The big mug is purple cardstock and I matched the purple to the shading and stenciling on the background layer.

To shade the background I used Wilted Violet Ink and a blender brush to ink only the top. Then I used the same color to add the stars with the Starry Background Stencil!!

The Greetery - Pretty Yellow Spring Meadow Card!

*** A quick note to my blog subscribers! I was able to finally change the time my emailings go out whenever there is a new blog post! My hope is that with the new time, you will see my content and posts on the same day they're published, instead of the next morning! If all goes right, your email from me with new content will arrive later in the morning around 7-8am PST - so keep a lookout! Let me know what you think - and if you notice the change! XOXO ***

 

Hi there my creative and crafty friends! It's my turn today over on The Greetery Blog to share a fun project with you! Of course, I have to share here too! Summer is winding down and I always start crafting with yellow this time of year. I made a card with one of my favorite color combinations: yellow, kraft, and white! I used the beautiful Greetery Spring Meadow Stencils and Dies in kind of a different way! Instead of using all different colors for the flowers, I made them all shades of yellow! I've never tried that before with the floral dies, and I like how it looks this way too! I previously used this stencil set in blues and purples so this is a completely different vibe!

My finished card is an A2 Kraft card base, layered with White and some yellow patterned paper then the pretty oval for my bouquet to fit onto. I used the new Hoopla Oval Inserts Dies (see that pretty pierced detail?) as my background. The sentiment is from the Tagged Elegance Set, and it fit perfectly onto the round die from the Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set. This just screams Summer to me!

I stenciled in four shades of yellow inks, two shades of green inks, and then brown ink for the flower centers. I splattered on some white paint for an artsy feel, and also added a few yellow gems. This card would be great for any occasion, and you could make it in any color! I'm thinking all pink would be pretty too!

Here's a side view of my layeres. I love that new patterned paper (Doodlebug of course)! I wrapped twine around it too....

Fun with Pixi Dust Christmas! Gingerbread mugs and pretty rosettes!

Hi friends!! Well, we started off on Monday with Halloween projects, and we're ending on Friday with Christmas projects! Ha! There's a lot going on in my craft room lately. The next couple of months will be a mix match of every topic and every holiday! All the companies are getting ready with their Fall and Winter new product launches and it's all good! I am totally ready for a change of season, actually! I need to get the Christmas crafty bins down from the garage shelves and get (more) ready! Hope you had a wonderful week! Let's get started for today's post! 

These projects from today are part of a big Instagram Hop today for Pixi Dust - so be sure to head over to Instagram and enter to win a gift certificate!! 

Today's post is to celebrate the Christmas products from our friends at Pixi Dust Designs! I LOVE their mug dies!! I made the penguin and reindeer last year, (CLICK HERE to see that post!) and this year I made the sweet sweet Gingerbread couple!! EEP. I also used the Fancy Rosettes dies to decorate some candy treat cones to save for Christmas decor. I accented my projects with cute Doodlebug papers and gingham ribbons.... CLICK HERE for the supply list and links! 

First up is my happy Gingerbread couple!!! These literally were the most fun thing to make! The die set makes both the boy and the girl and you can embellish them any way you like! I used traditional red and green and pink for my mugs. These are going to be gift bag decorations!! LOOOOVE!

To make the mugs, I used Kraft cardstock. I used Vintage Photo DIstress Ink to ink around the edges. Then I splattered on brown ink and white ink to make them look like gingerbread cookies! I added some pink cheeks using craft chalk...and then white gel pen accents...

I used the mug die to cut out red plaid handles for both mugs. I used Doodlebug papers to make the bows and the scalloped circle background....It's all just so happy!

Next up I made some pretty candy treat cones! To make the cones, take a 12x12 paper and cut it in half diagonally... Then just roll it around and glue the seam. So simple! I used a hole punch to add holes on either side and put gingham ribbon through to hang these either on the tree or on a knob!! CUTE - and they will be even cuter filled with Christmas candy!

I used the Pixi Dust Fancy Rosettes to make the red and pink rosettes that decorate the cones. These dies are really easy to use and have pretty and unique edges...

Pretty Pink Posh - August 2023 New Release - Ghosts and Pumpkins!

BOO! Hello friends! I am SOOOOO excited today to share some Halloween cards! I am beyond ready for Fall crafting, and Fall in general! Yippeeeee! Today is the first day of a big blog hop celebrating the new August release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh. You guys know that I absolutely LOVE the Halloween release from PPP every year...and this year is no different. I had the best time making cards with the new release, and I was smiling the entire time! I hope my cards today get you in the mood to switch seasons! I have three cards today, and then I'll share a fourth card next week when we do the Instagram Hop. The new release is already available for shopping!! 

CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE NEW PPP HALLOWEEN RELEASE!!

My first two cards feature the brand new (and super adorable) Ghost Shaker dies, other brand new supplies, and one of my favorite stencils from last year - the Spooky Sky!! I ended up making two ghost cards because I had made two cloudy backgrounds. I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I used them both! Yay! This first card is an A2 white card base, layered with brilliant teal and a cutie pie witchy poo ghostie!! Hee hee. She's a good witch, so don't worry.

For the boo sentiment, I used the new Large Boo Shadow Dies.... The hat, broom and moon are frm the new Halloween Mug Additions Dies set. ADORABLE!!! I die cut the ghost shape and colored on her with some Copic Markers and added some cheeky cheeks...

I die cut my pieces from colored cardstock and added Copic Marker accents and white gel pen accents. The "you're spooktacular" sentiment is from the new Sentiment Strips Halloween stamps and matching dies....

I stenciled onto teal cardstock with the Spooky Sky Stencils set. The set has clouds, stars and bats and it's awesome. I used white pigment ink for the clouds and Oxide ink for the stars....

My second card is also an A2 card base - in gray cardstock. I layered the stenciled panel (also the same gray cardstock). This time I made my ghostie out of vellum so he's sparkly and see through!! I splattered him, and the background, with silver paint.

For this background, I used gray cardstock and inked on Salvaged Patina Oxide Ink around the edges...It made a cool blue/gray kind of color! I used the same white and yellow ink for the stars and clouds....

My third card goes in a totally different direction - AUTUMN!! I used the brand new Stitched Pumpkins Dies (these are going to get used A LOT!) and the brand new Argyle Stencils to create a warm fall card... The finished card is an A2 cream cardstock, layered with my stenciled panel, and then those pumpkins!! I used a warm palette of amber, brown and deep orange...

Here's a side view of my card. As usual, I did some paint splatters (in gold) and ink shading on my die cut pieces. I used a deep orange cardstock and ink blended with distress inks and blender brushes just to the tops of the pumpkins and the bottom of the leaves.

The pumpkins die set has three sizes of pumpkins, leaves, and little curlies... Also it has jack-o-lantern faces. I think this is perfection! You can make harvest pumpkins or halloween pumpkins. Paulina thought of everything!! Literally the perfect pumpkin set.
