Merry Christmas Gnome

Here is the third card from my October Card Class. 

This card was made using the FSJ Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set.  
Colors are Cranberry Bliss, Oatmeal Cookie, and Hazelnut Blend Cardstocks.

I finished off the card with a Cocoa Powder Gingham Bow. 

I tried to keep this card as simple as possible for my class since the first two were more time consuming. You can see those cards in the two previous posts. 

I stamped my own background with a snowflake that comes with the set. 

Challenges with this card: 
Crafty Cardmaker -  Fairies and Mythical creatures
Christmas Crafts All year 'round - Santa, elf, or fairy

Happy Little Stampers - Christmas (Twist/Ribbon)
The Merry Christmas Challenge - Christmas
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas - Christmas-Twist, Sentiment as focal point
Colour Crazy - Anything
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Christmas

Have a Spooktacular Halloween

Here is the second card of three that my card class made this month. I feel like I am so behind again this year. 

I just love this new Die Set from the FSJ Holiday Mini. There is this House, a Tree, Pumpkin and Bat. I only used the house from this set. The Bat is from the Snapshop Frames, the Pumpkin is from Jack O Lanterns, and the Ghost is from Party Ghost. 
The Sentiment is from a retired Mummy ATS. 

The background was made using then Trees from the Designer Series Stencils. I used the purple and gray from the Mother Nature Pan Pastels and sponged over the stencil. 

Challenges for this card:
Dragonfly Journeys - Halloween
A2z Sceapbooking - Frightfully Fun
Creative with Stamps - Halloween
Die Cut Divas - Halloween
My Time to Craft - Halloween

Craft Rocket Challenges - Halloween

Happy Friendsgiving - Gnome for the Holidays

Back from our vacation and ready to Rock and Roll towards Holiday Creations!

Hubby and I were on a Fall Foliage Cruise and had the pleasure off being seated at a Dinner Table with two fantastic couples for the entire 21 days. 

Fun Stampers Journey has this Adorable Stamp Set, called Gnome for the Holidays. The Traditional use would be for Christmas Cards. BUT, I made it into a Thanksgiving card for our Table Mates. Instead of Happy Thanksgiving, it says, Happy Friendsgiving, from the Gather Together Stamp Set. Can't wait to send it to them!

It's also going to be one of my three October Class Cards. 

The background was made using the Changing Seasons Embossing Folder on Sweet Pear Cardstock. I then used the Rose Gold Pan Pastels over the top of the leaves.   The Brown Circle in the middle was done using the Barn Wall Embossing Folder. 

The Pumpkins at the bottom are from the Happy Harvest Stamp Set. 

The Bow was made with the Pumpkin Patch Ribbon. 

Thankful Friends Fox Thanksgiving Card.

Today I'm posting one of the three cards my August Hostess Club made. 

The Stamp Set is Thankful Friends .

I first inked up the smooth Side of the Barn Wall Embossing Folder with Pumpkin Bread Fusion Ink Pad. Then added a piece of the Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock and ran it though my Platinum 6 Cutting Machine. 

To make the ombre look to the fox, I inked the top part with Tangerine Fusion Reinker on a large Dauber Dowel, then Rich Coral Reinker to another Dauber Dowel and inked lower half of Fox. 

The acorn was inked with Dark Roast ink for the top and Pumpkin bread ink for the bottom. 

The leaves were cut using the leaf die from the Snapshot Frames in Oatmeal Cookie cardstock, edges inked with Green Olive ink, then Rich Coral  and Tangerine fusion Cardstock. 

When assembling, I added a strip of Corrugated Cardstock under the fox. 

Party Ghosts Halloween Card

Here is the second of three cards for my July card class. The post before this one uses the Film Capture Die and this card uses the three rectangles from the inside of the film Strip. No wasted Cardstock here.

The Little Ghosts are from the Stamp Set Party Ghosts. 
The Mummy is from Ghostly Treats Stamp Set. 

The Background used the Spooky Bold Embossing Folder. Then I lightly swiped the Whip Cream Pigment Ink across the raised embossing. I wanted it to look a little smeared and spooky.

The Circle Die Cut is from the Journey Circles Die. 
I used strips of Black Licorice Sparkle Washi Tape and Silver Sparkle Washi Tape.

Silver Silk and Sparkle Silk was splattered over the background and sentiment .

All of the Ghosts and mummy are stamped with black ink and fussy cut out then adhered with foam tape. 

Let's Party and Trick or Treat are heat embossed with the white ink and white embossing powder.

Challenges:
Crafting with an attitude - Anything Goes
Southern Girls - Bling, Die Cut, Ink
Word Art Wednesday - Anything
Die Cuttin' Divas - Add a Circle
Crafty Cardmaker - At least two dies or punches
Fashionable Stamping - Use those inks

Jack O Lanterns Halloween Card

Here is my first card for my July Card Class. 

While most people are doing Christmas in July, I wanted to get Halloween out of the way to make room for the Fabulous NEW FSJ Christmas stamps in the Holiday Mini which will go live on August 1st. 
So, I will be doing Christmas in August!!!

Isn't this such a Fun Card. Love this stamp set. 

My card tomorrow, uses the three black rectangles left over after cutting out the Film Capture Die.

Challenges:
Avenue 613 - Create your own DP
Fashionable Stamping - Use your inks

Good Karma

Here is the second of three cards for my June Class. However, I couldn't make up my mind on wich card to actually present to them, so I have two samples and will let them choose which one they would like to make.

I like Monochromatic cards and try to have at least one easy to make card for my class each month. 
This card is shades of Grey and white. 
I always seem to have difficulty making masculine cards and thought this one might work. 

I love this elephant and all the stamps in the set. I can see many more cards created with it. You can check out all of the stamps included in this set below.

Rock Candy True Fusion Ink was sponged onto a whip Cream Base through the Starburst Lines Stencil.

Blue Skies Hot Air Balloon Birthday Card

Hi everyone. It's June and time for another of my Monthly Card Classes. Here is the first card of three for my class to make.

I decided to play around with my Gel Press this month for the background. I try and keep it simple with little mess for my classes. 
FSJ's Gel Press is 8.5 x 11 in size, which is perfect for designing FOUR card bases at the same time.  I also used FSJ Liquid Colors and their fabul,ous 6" brayer. So much fun with this brayer with minimal lines.  

I used three FSJ Stamp Sets. The main image is from "Blue Skies", the trees from "Nature Grown" I also used the Happy Birthday and the flying birds for the June 2018 Bloom Box called "Set Sail".

All images are Heat embossed and the entire card is splattered with Sparkle Silk. The clouds are die cut and sponged with Pan Pastels. 

I used the Summer Pretties Punch to make the flower. This punch is retiring the end of this month. BUT, it's on sale for only $8.95 for those of you that would still like to pick up on it. Just click the link for it at the end of this post.

Challenges:
Always Happy Birthday - Summer Birthday
Altered Eclectics - Mixed Media
Craft-Dee Bowz - Hand Made Bow
2 Sisters on the Blog - Colors-Green, Light Blue & Lavender
The Crafters Cafe - White, Twine, Black
Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes
