Pumpkin Love

I love Fall and pumpkin pie.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut this pretty pumpkin.. With my Copic markers, I colored the QKR image using the no line technique.  The dark gray corrugated paper makes a striking backdrop for the pretty fall colors. I used cream colored card stock for the base of the card and gave the leaves on the bottom a touch of Wink of Stella.

I am entering this in qkr-stampede-challenge-163-harvest. and I can see already the competition is entering some awesome cards. 

Record Breaking

Yup another Halloween card!   This makes a whopping grand total of 2.

I cut the QKR image out with my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the pumpkin separately and popped it up with some dimensional dots.  The corn stalks are also cut from my Silhouette .Those crystal looking domes were in my stash of stickers.  I used one to cover up some extra glue, thought it was pretty cool, so I scattered them around.

This is for QKR Stampede challenge-162-halloween.

Sweet Witch

Halloween is not my thing, but this digital stamp was too sweet to resist.

I found her on Etsy, Molly Harrison Art.  She was colored with Copics and cut with a Memory Box stitched die.  I then mounted the image on some Basic Grey paper that I've had forever.  The little pumpkin in the lower right is a dimensional sticker and the branch on the left is a another Memory Box Die.

I'll enter this in QKR's 162-halloween Challenge.

Happy Haunting!

October Blessings

Iowa has been blessed with an awesome October.  The weather has been fabulous! What's even better is that I get to enjoy it.  I am retired and although I had really nice office, I did not have a window. I can't tell you how many times I went to work the dark and came home in the dark.  Sometimes I would be happily working along all day only to be surprised to find several inches of snow I had been clueless about.  No more scraping windows in freezing cold and 30 mi. hr. winds.

Well, I got off topic a bit. Here is my card.

The Memory Box frame was cut with a dark brown cardstock, but I could not get it to photo anything but black.  This is the first time I've ever shopped at From the Heart. I found a lot of really nice digital stamps and even purchased a few more.

I'll enter my card in From The Heart's  free-stamp-of-the-month-october-2015 challenge.

Hey Friend

With my silhouette Cameo I am able to bring in any digital image and arrange it on the cut lines, print it then make the cut. 

I really love how this turned out.  The image I used is Power Poppy's Gerbera Daisies.
I colored the daisies with Prisma pencils and added pearls to the centers. I used a portion of a Sizzix embossing folder on the lid and added a white bow from Paper Studio.

This card is for Power Poppy's weve-got-power-weve-got-spark challenge.

The Joy of Fall

Fall is my favorite season.  The leaves turning beautiful shades of orange, green, and red. An early morning chill and leaving the doors and windows open all day just energizes me.

This little guy expresses how I feel today.

This is a QKR Stampede image which I colored with Copics. I fussy cut some of the leaves and the shoes then popped them up with foam dots. oN the leaves I used Wink of Stella.  The bow in the corner is from Paper Studio, but I don't remember where I got the little wood bird in the top corner. I used Memory Box Stitched Square Layers to cut and layer the image with dark green cardstock.  I think the DP is Graphic 45.

I'm entering my card in  QKR-Stampede-challenge #160-scarecrows. 

It's On!

I made a Christmas card.  There's no stopping me now.  I want to do Christmas cards all day, every day.  

While looking through Pinterest, I came across a beautiful print by Janet Stever.  It reminded me of this Stampendous stamp, but it didn't have any background. You can check my inspiration out here.

This is the stamp

I added my own background.

I love this guy and his pals.  I used my new favorite die Memory Box Stitched Square Layers, then mounted with paper from K&Company then again with some dark brown card stock.

The corners were done with a Cheery Lynn die and the bow in the corner is from Paper Studio.

Merry Christmas!
