FMS#605 and Inspired By Pumpkins

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Welcome! - Fall is in the air here and I just love what the season brings.  Today I'm joining in on a couple of challenges with my card.  

Freshly Made Sketches #605 and Inspired By #IB#257 Pumpkins

Here is the sketch:

 and the Inspiration Board, (Which there was also a sketch there - that I did not use)

I guess for my card I was mainly inspired by Pumpkins!

Plus I had already decided on the sketch from FMS so hopefully this will be okay to post for both challenges.

Two for no challenges

 Hello everyone.

Today I'm sharing 2 cards that I created this week with no particular challenge in mind. 

 

Card #1

This card just seem to come together with little planning on my part.  I had picked up one of my old leaf stamps and a Kaleidacolor ink pad along with a piece of folded card stock that was laying on my desk.

I stamped the leaves with the Kaleidacolor pad on the right hand corner and from there everything else just went right in place.  I found a piece of fall designer paper that matched the colors and cut a fishtail strip of it and added a plain fishtail strip as well.  The Orange circle was already punched out from another project I had started but didn't finish so I just stamped the sentiment on it and mounted it to the card and added some sequins to finish it off.

Card Stock: More Mustard, Cajun Craze & Pumpkin Pie (SU)

Ink : Memento Tuxedo Black,  Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves

Fishtail Dies (MFT) Circle Punch (Marvy)

Stamps: Leaves (Rubber Stampede) Sentiment (Hero Arts)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Card #2 

This card was created because my Granddaughter wanted to color with me.  She was coloring in a book and I was stamping and coloring.

I had an old piece of SU Designer paper and based my colors off of it.

Stamps used: Witch from Greeting Card Kids (SU) and Sentiment from Essential Sentiments (Amuse Studio)

Card Stock: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and I'm not sure what SU color the purple is.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Prisma Color Pencils, Bold Black Embossing Powder (SU), Nestabilitie dies, Orange Gems, Scroll & Dots Punch EK Success.

Metallic/White twine.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing what I created.

It's Still Autumn

Hello - Yes, I've been absent from this blog for a few days.  Life has been busy and with the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US and getting prepared for Christmas I haven't had much time for Stamping.  Anyway I wanted to share a couple of cards that I made and never got posted (or sent for that matter).  Since it's still Autumn until Dec.22nd I'm not to late to share these cards.

I saw this design idea on someone's blog but I'm not sure who's blog it was.  I'm thinking Julie Ebersole's.
ETA: Yes here is her card
Stamps: Inkadinkado.
Card Stock-SU
Designer Paper-DCWV

At any rate I liked the layout and did a Fall version.

For this one I used a Stamp Set from There She Goes (Pumpkins on the Vine). Paper is from DCWV.

Lastly I thought I would share Coleen's version of how to prepare a Thanksgiving Turkey:

Just in case you can't figure it out:
First you kill a turkey. Then you put it in the Oven to bake. Next you take it out of the oven and flop it around in a pan. After that you eat it. Last there is no more.
