Happy Autumn greetings! Today’s card is for the Creative With Stamps September Challenge, which is PUMPKINS!

I used the Newton’s Nook Falling For You stamp set and Doodlebug’s Friendly Forest patterned paper.

First I stamped the sentiment on watercolor paper with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, then I heat set it.  I sponged on Fossilized Amber and Picked Raspberry, overlapping them slightly to get an orange color also.  I trimmed the panel and rounded corners on that as well as the patterned mat and card base.  I layered the patterned paper onto a kraft card base and the watercolor panel onto a kraft mat, attached them together.

I stamped multiple pumpkins from this set, colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. I added foam squares to pop the pumpkins up a bit.

Salutations, today I needed another Thanksgiving card and I wanted one that was centered on people gathering for a feast, so I thought of the Friends Feast Together set from Sunsational Stamps.  It features Native Americans and Pilgrims, all holding a Thanksgiving dish.  Think of it as a pot luck at Plymouth Rock 😉

Friends Feast Together

I used my distressed sun ray stamp from Tim Holtz that I have had for…ever.  I stamped it with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of sky blue cardstock.  That was mounted onto patterned paper from my stash along with a strip of flip side of that patterned paper to form the “land” that anchored my people.

I printed out three of the images, colored them with my alcohol markers and cut them out.  I popped the people up with foam tape to give it dimension.  I added the words “Grateful, Memories & Together” from an Authentique sticker sheet and finished it off with some Nuvo Buttercup Yellow dots.  The inside was simply stamped with “Giving Thanks”

Alcohol Marker, Broken China, Distress Oxide Ink, Fossilized Amber, Sunsational Stamps

Hi there fellow crafters, I was looking at the plants today and noticed how the colors are starting to change.  Not quite the reds, oranges and vibrant yellows of fall, but the typical flowers and foliage of late summer, Black Eyed Susan, Strawflowers, Sunflowers and whatever those gorgeous purple leafy things are…I am clearly not a botanist.  So today I thought we could take a peek at the beginning of our early autumn palate with a gold embossed vellum card.

Life is Good Autumn Card

I did something completely different today, I printed out the digi images I wanted in my scene and I traced them onto the vellum with pencil.  Next I retraced the images with my embossing pen, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and heat set it.  I almost left it plain, I loved the look so much, but decided to color the images in as planned with alcohol markers.  You have to color the back side of the vellum for it to look good.  The images I used were Squirrel with Fence and Squirrel with Pumpkins & Sunflower, you can find them Here.

I mottled the petals to give them interest and I colored the entire center with 4 or 5 different colors, but instead of flicking or coloring I used dots to replicate the center of a sunflower.  I added lines to the acorns and just colored the remaining images as usual.

I sponged Broken China and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks onto the card base and  then stamped it with “Life is Good” stamp from one of my Close To My Heart sets.  I added Matte Multi Media glue to the image outlines (so it would not show through the vellum) and adhered it to the inked card base.  I added three little Queen & Co Ice bling to highlight the sentiment and called it a day.

Please head on over to Sunsational Stamps September Challenge, the theme is Fall.  You can get there from Here

I hope you enjoyed todays technique and card.  Please follow the blog by clicking on the “Follow Me” button, Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing!

Hello, I decided to get inky today and play with my new Distress Oxide inks.  I needed a masculine thank you card for someone who is an artist…talk about pressure!  I was nervous, but in the end I am happy with the results.

Creativity Takes Courage Card

I rubbed various colors of Distress Oxide ink; Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick & Cracked Pistachio onto my craft mat and spritzed with a little water.  I mixed the Fossilized Amber and Fired Brick together to add an orange to my brown and yellow palette.  I took a piece of watercolor paper and dipped it in the various colors, drying with my heat gun in between each layer.  I added a small amount of Cracked Pistachio as the last layer  to give a patina look.  On the sentiment, which is the Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers, I sponged on Vintage Photo and Cracked Pistachio before adding them to the card.

Next up I dug out my newsprint background stamp by Justrite Stamp Co and a couple of small Tim Holtz stamps.  I used Walnut Stain, Black Soot and Tea Dye for my random background print.

I added jewelry cording around the card and attached it in three places with my stapler. I added a vintage button from a Cosmo Cricket embellie set.  The button was shiny, so I sanded it down and sponged on some Tea Dye Distress ink before adding it to the card.  Because of its weight and bulkiness I actually stitched it to the watercolor panel to give it added stability.  I used foam tape to mount all this onto a black mat and a brown card base.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.  Please follow our blog by clicking on the ‘Follow Me’ button, like us on Instagram and Like us on Facebook so you don’t miss a thing!
