Tree paste

While checking my unfinished box I found this topper all I had to do was finish the card. All I remember is that I used a brass stencil and paste that I borrowed from one of my friends loved how it looked but never did anything about it. I was trying to see if it was worth buying the paste at the end didn't end up getting paste and was glad as I never did much with it :0) the message is from teeny tiny wishes by SU with walnut stain

Baby wipe technique fall

Last year when we did the baby wipe technique as a shoebox project (here) I didn't want to waste the ink so decided to keep stamping until there was no more ink well I ended up with a lot of pieces since there were 3 sets of "ink pads" I was going to do something but never did until this year when I was working on donation cards :0)

I don't know which Adirondack reinkers were use used as it was what my friends had used. My layers were cut with stitched rectangles by My Favorite Things, the leaves were cut from falling leaves by Heartfelt Creations and embossed with give a hoot and labels and frames by Cuttlebug, the thanks a bunch was stamps with morocco ink don't know who makes the stamp and the thinking of you by Endless Creations with northern pine

   

 On this one I also used double stitched rectangle dies by Kat Scrappiness, Thank you by Stampa Rosa with potter's clay and olive grove stamped on modern label punch by SU

     

Fall tag

I normally don't do tags I don't have a use for them but there was a mingle in one of my Yahoo groups so decided to participate. I had fun working on the tag. Since I didn't have a tag I made my own with my envelope punch board to fit my stamp which was the autumn leaf collage by Memory Box, I actually stamped it twice with rich cocoa then I colored them with my Copic airbrush system and Copic markers one of the tags I did more color on the leaves and fuzzy cut them then mounted with foam

Couple Acorns

I love this set it's so quick and easy to make cards, I only used the punch for this card, somehow I just use them this time of year but don't think acorns are only fall anyway this was one of the cards I made this time around

The idea was inspired by stamping country blog, the background was done with you've got this SU stamp set with hello honey ink. The acorns where punch with corrugate paper the orange was from the May 2016 paper pumpkin and the other was from DCWV which I didn't like to work with, that's what happens when you order online because you can't see what you are buying!! the paper was too thick for what I wanted the good thing was I was able to get it in the punch! the twine was left over from past paper pumpkins. I sponged all the punched pieces with frayed burlap and vintage photo

Shoebox Thursday by Luci

For today's shoebox project, Luci had a clean and simple Christmas card. I didn't do my trees the same way she did, but then again I never follow rules or instructions, the black sheep on the bunch :0)

We used SU products, Santa's sleigh stamp set & dies as well as reason for the season set all stamping was done with island indigo, also we used decorative label punch

Feliz Dia de los Muertos

Today is the day of the dead so here is the card I made. The top message was stamps with tuxedo black and I only used the first part of the Feliz Cumplaños stamp by Stamp A Mania; the dancing skeletons are a stamp by Northwoods Stamps and I stamped with white ink pigment ink and white embossing powder and color Copic Markers; the message on the bottom is from the set Dia de los Muertos Marcy by La-La Land

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project I had a diorama card. I hadn't done this fold in a while so I had asked my friends if they knew or wanted to make one and they said sure why not so this is what I had for us to make.

The card folds flat for mailing but it's 3D and stands by itself. The inside was done with sheltering tree set by SU with fossilized amber, carved pumpkin, crushed olive, vintage photo, rich cocoa, desert sand; open falling leaves by Heartfelt Creations same inks and matching dies; the opening was done with labels collection Framelits by SU

This is the view from the front

I added some flower soft like if some of the leaves had fallen from the trees
