Autumn Days

I must be thinking about fall a lot!  Here’s another card features the Autumn Days Stamp Set Bundle. To create the background, I sponged all over with Citrus Cooler and Candy Apple Inks using our sponges. Did the same thing and same colors for the leaves.  After sponging,  I  stamped the leaves using the Autumn Days Stamp Set.   The moon/sun was created using the large dowel and Citrus Cooler… Read More »

Harvest Wreath

Today’s card was inspired by a one made by Laura Williams, Fun Stampers Journey Concept Designer.  I did change a couple of things to make it my own, i.e., made it darker and used Pomegranate Splash instead of Oatmeal Cookie for one of the backgrounds., changed the ribbon and used Cranberry Bliss Silk instead of Gold Silk. The leaves are from a retired FSJ accessory (retired last year but I… Read More »

Bright Side

I got the lines in the card by running the bottom half of the Whip Cream Card Stock through the die cut machine using the Barn Wall Embossing Folder.  It looks like waves… Read More »

Goodbye Let’s Ride

It’s time to say goodbye to another favorite called the Let’s Ride ATS Stamp.  They don’t have a motorcycle stamp in the new catalog so I may keep it instead of selling it. This card is for a friend who loved to ride but has since given it up.  I thought it would bring a smile to his face because I’ve also included the word “Route 66” on the front… Read More »

Stay Wild

My team mate, Barbara Miller, and I challenge each other once a month to use a certain stamp set.  We alternate picking the stamp set and/or colors.  This month is was just the stamp set called Stay Wild. Though I used watercolor inks, I was able to use the Butter Cream Card Stock because I didn’t saturate the panel too much.  The mountains were made combining Dark Roast Silk and… Read More »
