Wishing you pumpkin spice & everything nice!

Hey guys I'm up here with another card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Card Hop.  Here is a link to all the great inspirations, Sponsors of the hop - with lots of prizes to be had - and how you can join in on the fun.

Today I am hopping back into my La La Land Crafts Marci Stamp set.  Oh I just love their stamps and dies.  Here is a link to their shop if you don't know who they are...so many amazing stamps and dies and their paper pads are AWESOME!

I stamped Marci and began to color her with my Copic Markers and some of my Spectrum Noir Markers as well.  I added a bit of fun dots to her sweater for some texture.  I am still trying to figure out my blending and how to do her eyes...so no judging (lol)

After stamping and coloring Marci in I set her aside and reached for my K&Copmany Solid Mat Paper Pad.  I really got this for a steal at Ollies...72 sheets for $1.99 so I grabbed 2 of them!  I used the coffee brown colored for the base and cut an 1/8" off the burnt orange colored one and matted them. 

I then pulled out my pumpkin dies I got from a seller off of Ebay (but I've seen them on Amazon as well).  I love them because they have a bit of embossing on them so I ran them through my Big Shot with the sandwich for embossing and then ran them through the regular way that die cut them.  I did it twice so I could add a bit of dimension and color to the stems.  I inked the edges in Ground Espresso distress oxide.

I then went into my stamps and grabbed  my WISHING YOU PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE! stamp from Miss Ink Stamps (who happens so be one of the SUPER SPONSORS to this year's blog hop) and stamped it on the same green card stock from that K&C paper pad I was using so I could bring all the colors together and then die cut it with a stitched banner die.

I adhered the banner die with some foam tape, added Marci and the pumpkins.  To bring it all together I added a bit of bling and I was done.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me and don't forget to head over to the Blog and get some more inspiration from all the other ladies.

Have a crafty day,

Kimberly
