Hello Fall Frame

Hello my friends, it's Lisa from Lisa's Craft Room, taking my turn to design for you today. Thanks Sheila for having me again this month. :) I decided to make a Fall frame for my mother. I started out with a plain wooden frame I purchased some time ago at AC Moore.












I painted it with Acorn acrylic paint.



I popped up the leaves with dimensionals. The pumpkins were stamped first, then I stamped them again on patterned paper, cut them out and paper pieced them on top of the stamped image. I did the same with the wagon. I love that wagon, I think it is so darn cute. I added Peachy Keen Everyday Character faces on three of the smaller leaves. The sentiment was stamped on white paper, then punched out. I inked around it and popped that up with dimensionals.

 Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a wonderful weekend. :)

The Colors of Fall

Hello everyone.  I am Charlotte from A Little Bit of Detail and thrilled to be sharing some of the colors of fall with you.  The card I have made is 6.5" X 5" on an ivory base.

The background mat is kraft paper that has been embossed with the Spellbinder's M-Bossibilities folder "Flora, Flora, Flora".  I inked over the embossing with a little olive, bronze and brown ink.  The pumpkin is a cut from the Smiley Cards cartridge  and inked with bronze and mustard ink.  

The two sunflowers are cuts from the Flower Shoppe cartridge, which happens to be one of my favorite cartridges.  I added leaves made with a Martha Stewart punch.  The little sunflowers are from Recollections at Michaels.  

The sentiment is from a Scrappy Mom's stamp set.  It is inked in Momento's Rich Cocoa.  I just love making cards in fall because I think the colors are just beautiful.  And, it just happens to be my favorite season.  I am so glad you visited today.

Cuttlebug, Cricut, and Baby Wipes!

Did you know that baby wipes are a great substitute for handmade paper?  Have you ever had a box of baby wipes that dried out before you could use them?  Don't throw them away!  Tear the edges, ink the edges, crinkle them up, and use the dried sheets just like handmade paper!

SERENITY!

 

This card was created using a sheet of dried baby wipes as the torn background!

Not only does it give the illusion of handmade paper, but it has a pleasant fragrance, too!

The base for the front is a piece of 5 inch x 7 inch

patterned paper.

The next layer is a dried baby wipe, torn around the edges, and then inked in the center and around the edges with

 Colorbox Chalk Ink.

The blue oval frame is a Cuttlebug emboss/cut folder "Carly".

The frame is glued to the front using dimensional tape

to give depth.

The birdhouse is an image from Cricut Lite Cartridge "Botanicals".

The birdhouse is adhered with dimensional tape.

The roses are cut from the Close to My Heart Cricut Cartridge

"Art Philosopy"

The butterflies are from the Cricut Circle Exclusive Cartridge "Paper Trimmings"

The leaves are from a Cuttlebug Quilling Flower Set "Daisy"

To add interest to the birdhouse, I glued it to some fibers. Then cut away the extra fibers. I also colored the little house with Copic Markers.

The stamped sentiment is from TPC Studio "Faith Greetings"

More roses and flowers were added.

A little blue bird sits atop the bird house. Notice the fibers are slightly pulled out the opening.

 

Hello, from Carolyn's Creative Corner!  Please visit my blog for more details about this card that was created for an art inspired challenge!

Smell the Roses.

Hi everyone, its Karon here from Karon's Krafty Korner and that time of the month for me to share a project with all our friends and followers here at She's A Sassy Lady. I hope you are all having a good week so far.

I'm currently loving this Recollections paper called Timeless, and my 8" by 3" card bases. After all, I am trying to use up my stash of pre-folded cards.

The first layer was cut at 7.75" by 2.75", and the second 6.75" by 1.75".  I wanted to show more of the bottom layer on this one. I inked all the edges of my layers with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink, Tea Dye.

The flowers are from the Art Philosophy cartridge, (page 69, Font Shift) cut at 3" and 2.5".  Its the first time I have actually got round to using this particular flower and I'm really pleased how they turned out.  I added a small pearl dot in the centre of each flower, and I have used glimmer mist on the flowers but it doesn't show up in the photo.

The leaves are also from the Art Philosophy cartridge (page 43, Branch 1) cut at 3" length.  I embossed the leaves with a stylus to make them look a little more realistic.

The sentiment is from the CTMH stamp set that came with the Art Philosophy cartridge.  The layers for the sentiment were cut at 3.25" by 1.25" and 3" by 1" and I popped this up using foam dots.

A little bow to finish off the card and I promise to have something a little more exciting next time :-)

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Happy crafting.

Gyspy Made Simple - Making Multiples

Shhhhh, don't tell my friends or Charlotte over at A Little Bit Of Detail, but this is my card for my Friday the 13th Card Party! Isn't he just too cute? Well is was so easy to do, thanks to my Gypsy Woman and I thought I would just take a few minutes and share with you because so many times we need multiples. This card will make 9! Yes I did say 9. I needed 7 for the party and I made 2 extra for my stash. I had to chuckle because after I put my card together on my Gypsy I saw Edna at Create With Expression and the Cricut Magazine had featured this card also... see great minds!

Let's get to work and make this card...

Now wasn't that easy? If you need a refresher on shape cards just go to the Gypsy tab at the top of my blog and you will find it under one of the Gypsy Made Simple tutorials. I thought it would be best if I shared this as we really need to take full advantage of the Gypsy and start designing more that 1 object at a time. Personally I think it is easier to make in multiples as you only have to choose the paper one time! It takes me longer to choose paper that to make the silly card!

Now let's get this card put together...

Another easy make. I was going to flip the video like Stacy from Love That Bug said but then I realized I kept turning the papers for you to see and they would have been upside down so I left it. I still like this angle though as you can see much better what I am doing. Be sure to tell me what you think as I do this for you and not me. Click for the IGLOO FILE or PENGUIN FILE.

This week I challenge you to make multiple cards all of the same design and link them up! I can't wait to see what you created. Be sure to tell me in the heading of your link how many you made.

Well I hope you liked today's post. I sure had fun making these cute little cards and I hope the ladies will like them too. Thank you for your sweet sweet words of encouragement. Your comments continue to inspire me!

Ohh! Scary Little Ghosties!

Hi all! This is Jeannie with Nonnasscraps. I am so excited to be back over here  as guest today. I am always so humbled to be here.

I saw these adorable ghosts in the September 2012 issue of CardMaker magazine and I knew I had to do something with them! Since I subscribe to the digital edition it was easy! I chose the page on my I Pad and sent the PDF page to my printer. I then took the print-out and scanned it, creating a .jpg image on my computer. From there MTC took over and it helped me bring this cuties to life!

4 x 8" cardstock base (to create a 4" sq. card)

1-4" square orange cardstock

1-3.75" square purple cardstock

1-3.5" square black cardstock

6" square white irridescent cardstock (ghosts)

6" square black cardstock (ghost backing)

Embossing glue

Stampendous Kaleidescope Embossing Powder

Hampton Art "Outlines" Stamps (from Michaels)

September 2012 issue of Cardmaker magazine

1. Import the graphic for tracking. I used the default settings and it traced well.  

2. I had a few spots to clean up (note the green circles). With the cut selected, I chose break from the menu; I could simply click on the bits that I did not want and delete.

3. I then duplicated this little guy. I have my settings circled in green. Click on apply.

4. I chose one image and selected the icon to blackout the image. This will become the black backing for the white ghost.

5. Select both images and duplicate for a total of 4 cuts. 

6. I then chose one set and (ghost with eyes and blackout) and decrease the size 1/4". The larger ghost is approximately 2 3/4" long.

7. I arranged the cuts so that I would be able to mat a 6" square on the top and on the bottom. In that way I can cut the ghosts from the correct color -- at the same time! 

8. I layered the squares in this order: 4" orange, 3. 75" purple, 3.5" black. I then stamped the sentiment and the web with the embossing glue. I sprinkled the powder and heat set it. The final step was pop-dotting (is that a word?) the ghosties in their spots. 

Ohh! Scary little ghosties! Have a Boo-tiful month!
