Fall for Fall at Paper Maniac!

Stamps:  Imaginisce Apple Cider Snag Em Raccoon

Paper:  Imaginisce Apple Cider, Soft Suede CS

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories:  Copic Markers, May Arts Burlap String in brown, Nestabilities Labels 15, vintage button

Hello!  Today I made a fall inspired card with some wonderful imaginisce paper and stamps!  I just fell in love with this little raccoon image!  I will probably be sending this one to my parents, as they have lots of little raccoon families that visit them all year long.  

To make my card stand up right, I had to cut the little point of off the bottom.  Remember...so that you don't have a fold at the top of your shaped cards, simply score 1/4 of the way down from the top of the back shape.  Apply strong adhesive and your card will open and close beautifully without that fold!  See below.

Thanks for stopping by!

H{ippity} Hop-Victorian Christmas

Hello!  Monday means time for another Hippity Hop!  Today I made a card using some fabulous patterned paper from Memory Box's Mistletoe collection.  I stamped a sentiment from the ippity set, Season of Joy using my Martha Stewart glue pad.  I then sprinkled some NST Copper micro glitter from PK Glitz over the sentiment.  I used my tombow glue pen to outline some of the foliage on the patterned paper and sprinkled the same micro glitter on that too.  I topped it off with a brown satin ribbon treatment.
You can purchase this lovely  Memory Box DP from Paper Maniac along with several other Memory Box collections.  You also need to know that Paper Maniac is offering 20% off everything fall related!  You can find everything in one category that is on sale for fall HERE.  You will find items from your favorite companies including Sasafrass Lass, Memory Box, Girls Paperie, My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey and imaginisce too name a few!  This sale will last through September 30th.

EIC107-Indigo Twin

For my card this week I used stamps from The Stamps Of Life set, Thanks2Fall.  I stamped my pumpkin onto acetate with black Staz on ink.  I used glossy accents to cover the image and then sprinkled micro glitter from PK Glitz in Mandarin and Clover.  I adhered the acetate square to an off white square of CS with brads after the glitter and glue dried.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  It is supposed to start cooling down FINALLY around here tomorrow.  I am totally ready for jeans and sweater weather!

Quickie CAS-No stamping card!

Here is a quickie CAS card.  I love to use borders and journaling boxes from patterned paper to create quick and simple cards.  I used paper from Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely collection for this one.  One border + one journal box + bakers twine = CAS Card!!!!!  No stamping necessary!

I will be back tomorrow with some Unity goodness for ya!

My FAVORITE Halloween paper this year!

Hello!  This year, my absolute FAVORITE Halloween paper is Echo Park's Happy Halloween collection.  LOVE it!  I purchased the paper kit at Paper Maniac (on sale for $10.07), and have had so much fun using the paper, alpha's and adhesive die-cuts.  The first card uses a journal box and some of the tiny alphas to spell out the "trick or treat".  I cut strips of DP to make the three spider web border strips behind the main image.

The second card uses the adhesive die-cuts on a cardstock base.  I doodled a border around the edge and cut the circle out of some of the DP and doodled around that, too.

I really love buying kits, especially for holidays.  There is always plenty of stuff for every kind of project, big or small!

Paper Maniac is having a sale on all fall products-20% off!  HERE is a link to all of the fall goodies!

I {heart} Fall!

Hello!  Fall is by far, my favorite season.  LOVE. IT.  Unfortunately, we are supposed to have 3 days this week reaching 90 degrees, so fall is not quite here yet!  I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival, along with all of the fun festivals, food and smells that go along with it!

I made this card with stamps from The Stamps Of Life set, trees2build.  This was August's club kit, however, you can still purchase it if you missed out!  I love this set because you can make cards for ALL seasons!  Here are a couple Christmas themed cards I previously posted on my blog using this set:

Have a fabulous day!

Hippity Hop-Fall Bouquet!

Hello!  Happy H{ippity} Hop!  I made this card for last week's ippity challenge to use the colors red, green and yellow!  I am super happy with the way this turned out.  I LOVE that flower pot stamp.  So many possibilities!  I used my markers to ink it up in different colors and blend the inks together.  The DP is from Making Memories Autumn Splendor.  I HAD to have it last year and never even opened until I made this card!  How nuts is that?  I am glad I rediscovered it because it was perfect for this challenge!

If you would like to add some ippity to your collection, you can browse my ippity page HERE.  Don't see what you are looking for?  Just email me!
