Pretty Pumpkins and Friends!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Here is another fall card!  This time I combined old with new!

I'm using the Free As A Bird Stamp set from the annual catalog and the Pretty Pumpkins from the July-December Mini catalog!

I sometimes forget how well our stamp set go together!  I had not used the Free As A Bird set in awhile so I was glad to go through what I had and make it new again!

I used blends to color in the two stamped images and used the Color Lifter to lighten up the areas in the birds stomachs and the pumpkins!

Let's take a look at the inside of the card!


Notice the small pumpkin!  It's from the Trio Pumpkin image on the card front!  I masked off the two larger pumpkins and just stamped the small pumpkin from this stamp!

Below is a to a PDF with step by step instructions that you can download and print out and a link and pictures for the supplies that I used.

Creating a Background with Pretty Pumpkins!

Fall has definitely arrived here in NM so I'm ready to create some fall inspired cards!

 Today I wanted to play with creating my own background as well as do some layering to create dimension to this card!

I'm featuring the Pretty Pumpkin Bundle today along with some of my go to dies and embossing folder. 

I used earth tones to make the Pumpkins and vines pop on the card!  I thought they would make a great background to help highlight all the colors!

Here's a link to a PDF for this card with step by step instructions - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DR9rn-1BCOKRxt095tKnCtCFdnxqbJ_z/view?usp=sharing

Cutest Halloween & Frightfully Cute Halloween Duo

Welcome to my blog!  Today I wanted to show how to make a Halloween Duo using the Picture This Dies, Cutest Halloween Bundle and Frightfully Cute Bundle all by Stampin UP®
 
I like to be thrifty so when I made the first card and cut out all those circles from the die I decided to design another card using some of those circles. 

I designed these cards for my October class and they were a big hit!  I got the idea for the First card from Kim Tolbert!  I used some of her design but added a few different elements!
