COLOR DARE WEEKLY CHALLENGE #677

Hey guys I'm here playing along with the Color My Heart Color Dare Weekly challenge, #677.  I just found them and can't wait to play along with some of their challenges.  Here is a link to find them and check out all their awesome card making challenges you might want to join in. 

I made this quick Fall card using scraps and older stash. I used the orange (various shades) with the green and my +1 color is brown along with the free to adds (black, white, neutrals).   I love the season and the colors of Fall what about you?

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you head over and check out their fun challenges.

Have a crafty day!

Double Trouble Challenge #202

Hey guys, I'm up on Blogger sharing my Autumn Blessings card I made for October's Double Trouble Challenge #202.  Here is a link to their blog and challenge if you want to join in or just get some fun inspiration.  I also entered this into the Pearly Sparkles Challenge #112.  Here is a link to their special challenge as well.  So many challenges that I love, get's those creative juices flowing!

Here is what Thing 1 has challenged us to this week:

I also took Thing 3  up on her twist this month - 

She says, "Fall colors are beautiful, but the pumpkins are my favorite. Hey, what happens when you drop a pumpkin? It goes Squash. Trouble Maker will tell me to stop bean corny.  So let's keep calm and carrot on and don't turnip your nose at me... I yam who I yam. My optional twist is to include any autumn fruit or veggie in your project."  So of course  I chose Pumpkins!  

I started off with an A2 110# card base and inked it with some Distressed oxides in MUSTARD SEED, CARVED PUMPKIN, GROUND ESPRESSO, FOREST MOSS and BUNDLED SAGE.  

After I inked the card base I took a die set of Fall leaves and sticks I had and made a stencil (if you ever want to do a stenciled background and don't have a stencil pull out those dies, cut them with a thicker card stock and BAM! instant stencil).  I used those same Distressed Oxides I inked the background to ink the leaves.  I then added some acrylic paint in brown and some Craft Twinkles (from DecoArt) in gold and mixed them ...this stuff is gold (no pun intended) but seriously it's the first time I'm using it and I loved it.

I then got out my pumpkin dies I purchased from Amazon, die cut them using 110# card stock in white and inked those up along with some of those Fall leaves that I cut to make the stencil...that is a set from the Signature Collection by Sara Davies called AUTUMN MORNING.

I set those aside and pulled out my new La La Land Crafts (their stuff is awesome) clear stamps called CHINCHILLIN', stamped that cute chinchilla and used my Copic Markers on him (E11, E13, E21, E23, E27, and E30).  

I adhered all of it together on the card base and then grabbed the sentiment from the Signature Collection by Sara Davies and stamped AUTUMN BLESSINGS.

Well that wraps it up for this challenge.  Thanks for hanging out with me today.  Don't forget to head over to the Double Trouble Paper Crafting blog and check out all the fun!

have a crafty day!

Autumn Blessings

Hey everyone, I'm up on the blog for Day 8 of the Coffee Lovers Blog hop and today I have a very Fall vibes card I put together.

I used a white A2 Card base and used some Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin on it to ink distress the background.  I used my favorite stamp and die set from AlteNew to stamp and die cut the to go cup.  I actually die cut this and stamped it afterwards...I usually don't do that but it turned out great! 

I have this awesome leaf die and stamp set that came with a mini embossing folder, called Autumn Morning.  I die cut the leaves and inked them with Carved Pumkin and Gathered Twigs and I used the embossing folder to emboss the bottom 2" strip under the sentiment and the sleeve for the cup.

I started placing my leaves where I wanted them and tuck a few under the to go cup and adhered it all down.  I backed the 2" strip with a scrap piece from the JAVA GOOD TIME paper pad I had left and popped it up on foam tape. 

I added that cute little fox from Doodlebug (Doodlepop) isn't he adorable?  I added a few sequins and then stamped the sentiment, that came with the die set, inked it as well and adhered it to the card.  This card just screams FALL to me!

If you are still interested in getting in on the hop, today is the last day so hurry!  Here is the link.
