Winter Wishes

102_5423

This stamp set of 7 images, WINTER WISHES, is lovely and nostalgic!

102_5424

Do you remember sledding on these wooden sleds??

102_5425

 

I stamped the sled in Early Espresso ink and then used my AquaPainter filled with water to "bleed" the brown ink and color the wood. QUICK & EASY!! The card base is Mossy Meadow color.

Cup of Cheer

102_5416

YUM! Nothing like a cup of hot chocolate during a blizzard! I remember those days fondly! That's why this stamp image appeals to me.

102_5417

I stamped the cup in Basic Grey ink. Then I stamped it again in Real Red ink and cut it out - cutting off the steam and back rim of cup. Using dimensionals I mounted the cup over the grey image, lining up the rim.

Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies

102_5380

Peek out the window! Just think of all the possibilities for scenes! I was fiddling with my brayer and thought these deep colors looked like the last moment before nightfall!  The silhouetted birds and branches are from the popular Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set.

102_5379

Simple and sweet this would be appropriate for many occasional!

102_5375

This similar card shows the window frame turned sideways with the trim cut off. This is the same piece of brayered background as the card above.

IT's FUN peeking out the window!!

Vintage Leaves Bundle

102_5403

Let's make some colorful Autumn leaves with the awesome Vintage Leaves Bundle! You will need the following:

    *Watercolor Paper

    *3 Classic Ink Pads: Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry

    *Aqua Painter filled with water

Next, lightly wet the watercolor paper and apply areas of color - you can even be a little messy about it! I chose to blend the colors into each other. LET DRY completely, then:

    *Stamp leaf images onto dry Watercolor Paper using Archival Black Ink

    *Die Cut images with the coordinating Leaflets Framelits Dies

Now you have a "pile of leaves to play in!" I mean "with!" LOL

Acorny Thank You BUNDLE

I've had so much fun creating with Acorny Thank You BUNDLE!! Get it quickly because Autumn is almost here! I love the Woodland Embossing Folder #139673 to pair with the cute acorns!

102_5393

Here are my tips: on the Woodland background, a used the FINE tip of my Basic Grey Stampin' Write Marker to mark the indentation in the tree branches! Also, I cut the Soft Suede layer 1-3/4" wide, then centered the 2" Circle Punch to remove a space to highlight the acorn! FUN!!
