Fall Birthday

Hello everyone,

My daughter's birthday was Saturday so my card today is a fall birthday card.

I stamped the Pumpkin Bouquet and colored it with Zig Clean and Clear markers I stamped the Tiny Happy Birthday on a tag. A little sparkle was added with Spectrum Noir clear pen. The background is a die that I just embossed into the plum paper. It was added to a gold card.

For the Inside I stamped the All About You Birthday . Then I stamp the Filigree Pumpkin in Spiced Maralade Distress Oxide ink.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Good morning

I can't believe that today is the first day of October. It feels like the middle of summer here. But the leaves are falling like crazy  with know color. I hope that we get to see some color this year. Fall has always been my favorite time of year.

I started by stamping the Split Scarecrow then covering with a mask and cutting a circle mask. The sky and ground were sponged with distress ink. The scarecrow and moon was colored with Zig Clear Color markers. The New Give Thanks Greeting was stamped with blue ink.

I really like this greeting at can be used for so many occasions.

Background with Pumpkin

Hi everyone,

My card today goes along with the new background challenge.

I started by stamping the Simply Pumpkin with a black color box ink and clear embossing powder this was covered with a mask. I place the card back in my misty and stamped the 1 line Beauty of Autumn with Memento Coco ink moving the card 1/2 inch I stamped it again with Memento Peanut Brittle for each time it was stamped I moved the card 1/2 inch up or down to cove the card.

When this was finished I removed the mask and used Zig Clear Color to color the image. This was layered onto dark brown card stock then a white top fold card. 

I want to tell you about a new product that I have found it's Avery Removable Multipurpose Labels this works great for mask and they hold up well after using them you can put it back on the release paper and save them to use again later.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Autumn is Calling

I am so loving the cooler tempters and beautiful blue sky's It's almost time for a drive across the mountains to see the fall colors and a stop at the apple house for some fried apple pies.

I started by stamping the Open Leaf and the Fall Leaf with Acorn  with Memento Rich Cocoa the sponging on Memento Cantalope,Tangele, and Olive Grove these were fussy cut. With the Rich Cocoa I stamped the Autumn is Calling Greeting then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Now for the plaid background I used my Misti and the cut apart Woven Plaid. The same colors the were used on the leaves were used for the plaid plus I added Fire Brick DI. All the mats were cut with the Perfect layers.

Now I want to tell you what I think of the Misty, before I bought mine I did a lot of research there was talk of the front cracking after about three months but other than that everyone just love there's. 

First let me say the shipping was perfect, I could not have asked for better. When I order mine I got the graft paper and I'm so glad that I did. The stamps that I used was DRS designs there are red rubber that I mount with E Z Mount Cling Foam. I found that I need to use the black foam pad, with out it I would need to push to hard on the top and this could cause it to crack. I only use water and a clean soft cloth to clean my stamps. It was so easy to make the plaid background paper with the Misty, I think I am going to be very happy with this purchase.  

Have a wonderful day,

Janett
