You Warm My Heart

September 23 - September 30, 2016

Day 8 of the Fall Coffee Lover's BlogHop 

and Heart2Heart "Sea Glass" 

Since I only had the cardstock for the Sea Glass, decided to look to Cricut Design Space for a great background using the negative die cuts instead of the frame and adhered to Sunset cardstock...what a beautiful color combination.  Sticking with these two colors, used a favorite die-cut of mine and put in the center and added sentiment in the upper r-h corner. Wasn't a lot of time to put together, just deciding what to use to show off the Sea Glass as much as possible...I'm happy with the results.  

 

Also forward to the following challenges:

Has been a long time since I have done a square card...however, with using the Jeepers Creepers PaperPak, with similar colors in The Outlawz color challenge and having one of my favorite doilies with a border of pumpkins for the sketch, let my card begin.  

So now off to my Cricut for the many die-cuts needed for my scary Halloween card...three sizes of corner webs, the pumpkin doily and the spider tag.  Instead of using a Bow above my tag chose to use a bold sentiment "BOO".  The spider web hooking on to the tag is black nail tape.  The inside of the card...adhered a spider web and a Boo sentiment from an old retired CTMH stamp set.

September 23 - September 30, 2016

Coffee Lover's BlogHop - Day 6

It was not many years ago you did not combine polka dots and plaids...however, how many times do you see polka dots and plaids together...a lot.

Stamped the cups on both Kraft and a design paper.  On the Kraft paper used the pumpkin stamp to give a pattern to the cup, fussy-cut the design paper and pieced over the Kraft Cup. Stamped the sentiment and adhered to plaid background with 3D Thin Foam Tape.  

Stamped the pumpkin on the design paper and on white cardstock, fussy-cut and layered on background.

Again, wasn't sure whether the three purples would go together, but I got them all in and I am happy with the results. Purples and Black screamed out Halloween.  

Die-cut the one panel, cut and layered the two small banners.  For the focal point...die-cut two squares, and using White Daisy stamped, colored and cut these adorable Little Monsters...and used on both the inside and outside of the card.

Oh, love the color combination, and what a prettier background and panels than to use the different design combinations of the Paper Fundamentals in Saffron and perfect colors for a Hibiscus focal point. Cardstock for Hibiscus (Poppy) and Leaves (Fern) were used to print the stamps, fussy-cut, applied clear Wink of Stella, and liquid glass on center of flower (as shown below), and adhered with 3D Thin/Regular Foam Tape.  Embellishments were added using sequins centered with Bitty sparkles and ribbon.

Purchased a retired stamp from Ebay and loved the corner borders and sentiment on it; however, the corner borders were either too small or too big so I went back to the drawing board and decided on using one of my favorite flower dies.  Die cut 2 corner borders in Silver Glitter paper, stamped the sentiment on vellum with VersaMark, dry embossed in silver, wrapped the vellum around white cardstock, added the corner borders to the vellum and then adhered to a Paper Fundamentals Black cardstock.
