Grateful For You

Hi there! There is fall in the air today, although I don't think it is going to last. I think the heat is coming back in a few days. I over it and ready to move to fall weather! I have a pretty Fall card to share with you today that I created with pretty products from Pretty Pink Posh.


I love the new Stitched Foliage Dies! On this card I used the pumpkin but there are also four leaves in the set. I love the stitched detail. I cut the pumpkin from orange cardstock and added a little depth with distress inks. Next I added a fun border with the new Stacked Edges 1 Dies and stamped a sentiment from the Fox Friends Stamp Set four times across the border. 


Next I stamped a variety of leaves, flowers, and berries from the Autumn Blooms Stamp Set. I colored the images with Copic Markers or I stamped the solid images with ink. Then I die cut the images with the Autumn Blooms Coordinating Dies

I attached the blooms to the card front, popping up a few of the flowers with foam dots. I added sequins from the Metallic Gold Confetti Mix to the center of the flowers. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend!

Fall Cards with Maya Road

Hi and thanks for stopping by today!  I have two cards to share with you that I created with the upcoming fall holidays in mind. Fall has to be my favorite season and I love working with the deep, rich colors of fall. My cards are created with Maya Road products, including dies and pretty embellishments. 


My first card celebrates Halloween. I started with a Blackboard Kraft Mail Tag and layered the tag on patterned paper that was die cut with the largest die in the Smile Frame ATC Die. I embellished the tag with a Resin Fancy Frames in Snow White. The cat is included in the Mini Wood Autumn Day Pieces. I sponged black ink on the cat to add the color. 


I created the flower with the Flower Die Set and added a button to the center of the flower. I added two Ken Oliver Vintage Paper Leaves in white behind the flower. I used the Tags & Ticket Die to die cut the sentiment. The card is finished off with a metal bird cage and Resin Mini Mums. 


I had Thanksgiving in mind in creating my second card. Here I used a Kraft Tag layered on a panel of deep red paper die cut with the the largest die in the Smile Frame ATC Die. I stamped a sentiment from the Banner Sentiments Stamp Set, cut the sentiment out with scissors, and colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is attached to a Kraft Scroll Frame Journaling Tags in White


I used three more of the wooden elements in the Mini Wood Autumn Day Pieces, an acorn, a leaf, and a pumpkin, adding color with ink. I think these wooden pieces are so cute! I also added a Vintage Scalloped Frame and a Resin Mini Mums. 
Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have inspired you to start creating for fall!

Simon Says STAMPTEMBER® Celebration with Pretty Pink Posh

Today I am so excited to share you with the exclusive stamp set designed for Simon Says STAMPtember by Pretty Pink Posh!!! The new stamp set is called Damask Greetings. The set is so pretty and elegant!



Here's a look at the my first project with the stamp set. I look forward to building some more fun patterns! 


I cut a piece of watercolor paper for the card front and used a EK Success POWDER TOOL Applicator to be sure my embossing powder won't stick. I built a pattern with the stamps in the Damask Greetings Stamp Set, and then stamped in GOLDEN GLITZ Delicata Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I added color with the Tumbled Glass Distress Ink


I framed the card with the PPP Stitched Notes Dies. I added a sentiment from the stamp set and finished off the card with sequins from the Metallic Gold Confetti Mix

Thanks for taking a look! Stop by the Simon Says Blog for more inspiration!!

The sweet Princess is one of the trick or treaters in the Trick or Treat Friends Stamp Set. She is colored with Copic Markers and I added glitter to  her skirt and hat. 

To create the shaker and I used the Scallop Frames Dies, cutting the die directly into the card front and then inlaying the white frame. Behind the frame I added clear acetate and foam tape to form the shaker.

My first card features the Simply Stamped - Acorns Stamp Set and the coordinating Dies. 


I stamped the acorns in Toffee and Mocha Ink. This is a two layer stamp set. The leaves are cut with the Mega Leaves Dies. The leaves are a great size to use with the acorns.

Next up, a birthday card! How cute is this Sweet Tooth Shaker Die! I started by cutting a frame with the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate. If you watched Taylor's Nine Favorite Things Video you saw that  this die set was on her list. I love this die too! So perfect for framing your card! 

Behind the frame I added a panel of Salt Water Taffy Cardstock that I embossed with the Sprinkles Embossing Folder. 


Once I created the shaker with Window Acetate and a Foam Adhesive Sheet, I dropped in Rainbow Bright Sequins. I topped the cupcake off with tiny flower cut with the Mini Bloomers 2 and Bloomers-Greenery.
