Autumn Feast Challenge #99

Tag You're It #99

Hello ! I have a fun fall tag to help inspire you to play along.

I loved the pretty picture and wanted to use this pretty new set from The Greetery: Harvest Home Stamp Set.

I didn't add any pumpkins but I added the bails of hay and one large fall leaf. 

I framed my fall tag using  Poppystamp Double Stitched Craft die and Frames.

For the sky I used Taylor Expressions blending brushes.

Thanks for the visit .

Christmas Barn

Hi there, just popping in with a quick card. I'm trying to get a few cards done ahead for Christmas.

 I bought these stamps sets from the Greetery after seeing Betsy's gorgeous snowy farm scene.(Below)

Betsy's card is stunning!

 I used Taylored Expressions blender brush and oxide ink for the background  sky and bit of pathway.

I had a hard time not adding foam to the back panel of this card , I am trying to keep my cards flatter for mailing this year ( if I mail)

CAS Christmas October 2019 

Looks like tomorrow is going to be another big wind and high fire day. Very warm and dry out about 93 degrees today. Hopefully not much damage other than messy pool and yard.

I pray no fires for anyone.

Take care.

The Greetery:
Fir & Foliage No. 2 Stamp Set
Harvest Home Stamp Set
Christmas Eve Stamp Set ( for the sentiment)

The frame is from Memory box: Pinpoint Circle Frame

Birthday Card for Mom

CAS(E) this Sketch #344

Hello, kind crafty friends.  I wanted to play with one of my new stamp sets from Concord and 9th, 

so I made this card for my mom.

 I used my Crimped Frame Die from The Greetery, ( I use this a lot now) I heat embossed the frame and greenery, then fussy cut it out and raised it with foam tape. I watercolored using my Zig Brush Pens. I splattered the sides to go with the sketch .

The guest designer this time is Darnell, Darnell has a beautiful card on the Cas(E) this Sketch blog.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

 Concord and 9th: Annuals 

The Greetery: Crimped Frame Die

Simple Things Sunflowers

Hello! Hope you are all enjoying the fall, if not the weather, then maybe the football and back to school activities.

Trying to get this done before the electric company shuts down the power. We're in high wind area and expected to get very high winds, maybe up to 70 mph. This is new preventative measure, to help prevent fires in this big wind event. Not sure I am going to like this very much. I know fires much worse!

I created this anniversary card for a family member, it will say happy anniversary on the inside but love this quote for a marriage.

I used The Greetery , Sunflower die linked below and the Crimped Frame dies, ( I did frame in a frame )

For the background  I used Distressed Oxide Ink and Taylored Expression Blending Brushes. I love those brushes so much!

I cant tell you how happy I am that I bought the sunflower dies , I think they can be all season depending on the color you choose. 

Take Care!

Thanks for the visit!

Simon Says: Anything Goes

Hi there and Happy October! I made this background with a stencil and blender brushes . I decided to add the witch and play along in the CASE this Sketch challenge.

The Spellcaster Witch  die is new and from Poppystamps, I  also used the Halloween Fun stamp set for the sentiment .  The stencil is Memory box from 2016 called Halloween Delicate Web.The witch is cut out of a fine glittered cardstock .

 In the past I didn't use stencils very much until now with the Taylored Expression blending brushes. I was lucky enough to get the first batch when they came out.

Two years ago today was one of the scariest days of our life and also one of the most blessed days. 

Let not your heart be troubled.

Fall and Coffee

Hello, I know I haven't posted much lately . 

You know how it goes, certin times in life

 are just a bit more busy.

I enlarged this picture so you can see the Glossy Accents and a bit of shimmer on the leaves.

The flowers are from my backyard

I had a chance to play with some of newer stamps of mine from the :The Greetery. I stamped most of the coffee images as soon as I got them but didn't have time to put them together till now.

I used my Peerless watercolor sheets to color on the Harvest Home leaves. Most of the links below.

I hope you are all doing well, I am sure you are busy just like me. 

I hope you all have a beautiful fall.

Barbecue Time

Tag You're It #95

Hello! Can you believe summer is almost over!

Here in California it will be warm all the way till end of October ((normally)

The cute little bunny is from my son and his fiancée  along with other crafting gifts

 he brought back from his trip to Japan. Perfect for holding a card or tag.

Well I only had one bbq stamps and its from a company not in business anymore so I decided to use this fun guy from MFT called : Recipe for Happiness. You just have to pretend the barbecue  is not on the tag but he is barbecuing :) I also used my Taylored Expressions blending brushes... that I LOVE.

The tag dies are from Poppystamps I will link below.

Cant wait to see what you create.

Peace to you all and God Bless.
