HOORAY FOR YOU

November 11, 2020

I’m going to an all occasion card for today. So I used the Quite Curvy Bundle(156228)! One still needs to keep their “other” card stash ready to go after all!

As you can see, it is quite clean so those pretty little birds could take centre stage! I used the “stamping off” technique to give them a bit of background to sit on. My complimentary colour of choice is Mango Melody to add that pop!

I followed along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge for this clean layout.

Here’s the list of products used. Just click on the picture to go directly to my Online Store.

Today’s card features the new Quite Curvy Bundle with it’s super fun “you’re one in a million” greeting.

It’s a fairly simple card that showcases the curved leaf image and greeting and would make a great “guy” card! I also used the Stacked Stone(152556) background stamp to create that large tag. This is my submission to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Wow, it’s the Friday of our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and our beautiful fall foliage is showing it’s colourful splendor! So, why not create a card with just a touch of those colours!

I started with a card base of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock and used the Subtle Embossing folder to add a little texture. The next step was to ruffle through my unfinished projects bowl and voilå, found some leaves from the Forever Fern Bundle! There were added to accent that lovely piece from the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper! A simple card with a cheery hello!

Then I followed along with the new layout from Freshly Made Sketches for the rest!

THE MOOSE IN FALL

Hi and welcome! I’m back to fall for today’s card. Our yard sees lots of visits from deer and moose, so I pulled out the returning favourite, Merry Moose Bundle(153015)!

This is a “2-step” stamp so it’s easy to get the details for the moose image! Use the Stamparatus(146276)* for easy placement of the 2 colours!

I wanted this guy/girl to be surrounded by trees and leaves so add the piece of designer paper from the Gilded Autumn package. And, a little embossing with the Woodland Embossing folder for the background.

There, The Paper Players theme challenge achieved!

Here’s the list of products used.

Merry Moose Bundle [153015] $41.25	Many Mates Cling Stamp Set (English) [152633] $31.00	Cinnamon Cider 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [153078] $12.00	Early Espresso 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [119686] $12.00

I’m thinking butterflies for today’s card and the Butterfly Gala stamp set and matching Butterfly Duet Punch joined in!

Do you have an “unused pieces bowl”? I do and pulled out the medallion die cut so those butterflies could sit prettily on it! I couldn’t leave the card front plain so it was embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to add just a touch of texture.

I wanted to play along so pulled layout from the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

Here’s the list of products used.

Hi and welcome, your visits to my blog mean a lot and I thank you. Today’s card is a pretty tribute to my visiters.

This card has several different colours to it and was a bit of a challenge as I don’t usually use these particular colours together. I chose to use the Forever Blossoms stamp set(151457) and stamped that lovely spray in Bumblebee. There is a very light wash of Seaside Spray on the background and I used our new Water Painters(151298) to apply the colour.

This idea came from the FabFri Colour Challenge.

Here’s the list of products used.

Water Painters [151298] $16.25	Misty Moonlight 1/4″ (6.4 Mm) 2020–2022 In Color Ribbon [153624] $8.25	Rhinestone Basic Jewels [144220] $6.75	Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder [152718] $12.25

MORE SUNFLOWERS TO ADD A LITTLE JOY TO YOUR DAY

Since I was playing around with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle(154065), I decided that the smaller bloom needed its own card.

So, I coloured two and put them together with pieces from the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper. The Gold trim and ribbon from the Forever Greenery combo pack was perfect for the finish!

TIP: for the sentiment, I used a piece of Adhesive Sheets(152334) on the metallic paper so it would be easier to adhere the thinner word. I highly recommend trying it as it makes it much easier to glue those tiny words without the mess of glue!

Here’s the list of products used.

Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (English) [154065] $70.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper [153520] $20.00

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
