Color Throwdown#817 and Double D Pumpkin Challenges

Hello and Welcome.

Today's card is being shared with the Color Throwdown#817 

and the Double D challenge: Pumpkin, Pumpkin who's got the Pumpkin challenge.

Below is the card that I created for these challenges:

For this card I started with a base of Cajun Craze card stock.  Then I cut out a piece of More Mustard card stock with a Unity Scallop Rectangle die.  I stamped the pumpkin image on Crumb Cake (kraft) card stock with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with pencils blended with Gamsol.  Then I splattered white ink on the image and cut it out with a circle die from MFT.  

I layered a piece of designer paper (DCWV - Pumpkin Patch) and punched out a border of pumpkins (Martha Stewart) with the Cajun Craze cs. I wrapped some twine around that and mounted the panel with foam tape after stamping the Sentiment.

The Pumpkin and Sentiment images are from Unity Stamps Sept. 2024 KOM - Wander and Wonder.

To finish the card I added some sequins.

FMS#611 and CTD#768

 

 

 Welcome! - At long last I finally had a chance to spend some time in my craft room.

Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches #611 and Color Throwdown #768

 

Here is what I came up with for the challenges.

 

 Since I (rarely) make square card I opted to do the sketch on an A2 sized card.  Trying to find patterned paper that matched all 4 colors of the CTD was difficult so I decided to create my own.

Details:  Card Base:  Early Espresso,  then a layer of Crushed Curry that I embossed with a leaf embossing folder and distressed with some Gold metallic ink.  I stamped a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with a ledger stamp and leaves from Unity Stamps. (sets listed below) 

The leaf image was stamped with Crushed Curry and Real Red ink on a piece of Crumb Cake cs.  I fussy cute it out.  It was mounted on a circle of Cherry Cobble cs and Early Espresso.

Inks for the small leaves were: Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Early Espresso

The edges of the Crumb Cake panel and strip were distressed with Crumb Cake ink.

Stamps: Large leaf and outline, small leaves - Unity Stamps October KOM (Golden Glow)

Ledger and Thankful Sentiment - Unity Stamps September KOM (Harvest Hues)

Embossing Folder - Paper Studio

Dies: SU Stylish & Nestability Circle

Fushion Challenge - Pumpkin Mugs and NBUS#31

 Hello and Welcome!

Today's cards are going for,  NBUS#31  and

 

Fushion Challenge Pumpkin Mugs. - UPDATE:  Somehow I missed the deadline for the challenge but am sharing these cards none the less.

I had bought a magazine, (Simply Cards and papercraft) that came with a stamp set, Autumn Blessings.  When I saw the Fushion challenge I knew it would be the perfect set to use for the challenge.

 

Here is my card:

 

 I decided to use both the Sketch and the Inspiration Photo for this card.

I stamped the pumpkins twice on white card stock and colored them with water color pencils.  Then I stamped the speckles (Itty Bitty Backgrounds-SU) in Pumpkin Pie & Pool Party inks. Then I fussy cut them.

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie & Bermuda Bay and White (SU).

The designer paper I bought at Hobby Lobby and it's from Paper Studio.  I bought it prior to purchasing the stamp set but it coordinated so well with the inspiration photo I had to use it.  Across the bottom teal colored panel I used a piece of Washi Tape that also matched beautifully to the color scheme.

I stamped some leaves from Petite Patterns (SU) on the white rectangle panel, mounted it to another rectangle panel of Bermuda bay.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I foam mounted the teal pumpkin to complete the card.

Since I had extra paper left over I created another card.

Same color scheme except I used a panel of a retired SU card stock  that I believe was called, Naturals Ivory.  I also used some of the leaves from the stamp set and another of the sentiments.  I distressed the edges of the Bermuda bay strip.  Pumpkin, Leaves and Sentiment mounted with foam tape.

Rectangle and Circle dies are Nestabilitie Dies.

 

So there you go, 2 different cards using the same colors & stamp set.

Pumpkin Spice Squared

 Hello & Welcome!

 Normally I don't stamp many square cards but I decided today to give it a try again.  I researched Square Card Sketches and found one that I thought would be fun to try.

It's an old sketch from My Favorite Things.

Next I had to get together all the stuff I wanted to use for my card.  I decided on a certain piece of background paper and based all my colors and accessories off of that.

 

 

 Here are the details.

Stamps: Pumpkin (Studio 112) Thankful Sentiment (Amuse Studio - Hey Foxy stamp set).

Card Stock Base and embossed Panel: Mint Macaron.  Large Circle and Smaller Circle: Garden Green, Whisper White.                  

Patterned Paper (Pumpkin Patch - DCWV) 

Ink Pads: Memento Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie (SU)

Other:  Pumpkin Harvest Embossing Folder - Provo Craft, Washi Tape, Fishtail dies, Circle Nestabilitie Dies. Orange Gems.

  I layered the patterned paper down first.  Then the large Garden Green Circle.  On top of that I layered the embossed pumpkin piece.  Then the White Circle.  I fussy cut the pumpkin image and mounted it with foam tape.  I added 3 orange gems. I layered the Washi tape onto a piece of garden green cardstock and then cut it out using the fishtail die.  - The Thankful sentiment was stamped and cut out then layered onto the Garden Green circle.

I love patterned paper because it has a glossy look to some of the pieces.  See Below.

   So there you have it.
