Floral Wreath

 Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  Ours was great.  Had a family dinner with all the loved ones.  So sweet.  We had snow over the weekend here in Michigan, USA.  Pretty early for snow, but here it is!  

So, I have two cards to share that have nothing to do with snow.  LOL  

Stamp and Die Set: Art Gallery (Stampin' Up) 




I inked the leaf section of the stamp and stamped several.  Then inked the floral section.  I cut them up a bit and put them back together.  I added an extra green stem to the upper right area. The florals were layered onto die cut circles.



Used the same stamps on card below, but with a totally different color palate.  A bee was added.




Pretty floral cards to send out to someone special.  Hope you are having a lovely day. See you next time with a Christmas card.

Floral Wreath Card

 Hello Everyone,

Made a pretty floral wreath card using the Art Gallery stamp set (Stampin' Up).  I die cut the flowers, leaves, and the circles for the background.  Also added  a dry embossed piece to frame the layout.

So glad you stopped by today.  See you again next time for fall themed cards!

Time to Get Cozy

 Hello Everyone!

The Fall weather is here!  Nice and cool.  Time to cozy up and wear your favorite sweater.  Oh, yeah, and don't forget raking leaves!

This little guy is having a blast raking those fall leaves!  So cute!

Images are colored with Copic markers.  

Stamps:

Used lots of fall colors for the cardstock and ribbons. I actually used all my yellow CS!  Guess I need to replace that.  Haven't found the right shade of yellow yet.

Gold Leaf Flower

 Hello Everyone!

Feeling the cool down here in Michigan. Love it!  Nice and cool at night too.  

Wanted to share a card I made with a really great stamp set from Stampin' Up called Art Gallery.  I made lots of cards using this set and will be posting them over the next month or so.  

I used a glue pad to apply the gold leaf.  This flower stamp is a two step stamp.  I used the stamp that would be used as shading and applied the glue from the glue pad.  I stamped as would normally do.  And then applied the gold leaf to the glue area.  Worked really well.  

 I did not add sentiments yet.  I will add sentiments later. 








So glad you stopped by today. See you next time for a few more of the Gold Leaf Flower cards.  I also have a coffee themed Halloween card coming up in October.  See you soon!
