Heartfelt Creations Fall Seasons Cards

This is a Design Team Project for Cut@Home

I've made 3 Fall Cards to share with you the new Heartfelt Creations Gateway to the Seasons Collection Sentiment and  Fall Season Stamps.  I used the Spellbinders Label Thirty One and Superellipse dies to cut the apertures for my cards and the Spellbinders Celtic Weave Embossing folder to create the wonderful dimension around the opening.  

On this card I stamped and cut out several of the words
from the Heartfelt Creations All Seasons Sentiment Stamps to
read 'Celebrate Life Everyday, Happy Thanksgiving'

On the inside I embossed it with Versamark and Clear Embossing Powder
Then I used Distress Ink to bring the image to life.
Over the top I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Blazing Sun

This was the first card I made and I used the Superellipse die on it to give the aperture a rounded edge.  I tried my hand using my Copic Markers, I am NOT a Copic painter by any means, but I had fun with it and gave it my best shot.  

I spent some time fussy cutting around the image and layering it upon a piece I had distressed with blue to form the background sky.  The bricks and flowers I cut again for dimension.  I really like how the corn silks popped out.

 You can see here how embossing with Distress Ink can really 
bring the lines and groves of the embossed area to life. 


Using Spellbinders Font One - Uppercase and Lowercase, I cut out the word Fall and
used Forest Moss Distress Ink and Glossy Accents to really make it pop above my ribbons
(which were white seam binding I dyed to match the card)

On the inside of this card I printed a sentiment from my computer

Distressed it with ink, matted it and added a brad from my stash.

This is the card I make, start to finish, in my video. 

On the inside here I again used Clear Embossing and Wild Honey Distress Ink.
The Sentiment is from the Kaisercraft Curosity set

WoW! I Miss You

I got my new issue of Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine,
even though it's the April edition, (it comes from Great Britain)
and had a lot of Easter ideas I love the new stamps that were included!
Like this cute little baker stirring up sentiments on the card front

The sentiment stamps, front and inside are My Sentiments Exactly

The Paper collection is Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl (the 6x6 pad)

I used a Copics for coloring and stickles for a little bling inside and out

Sledding Mimi

This is my first set of clear Penny Black Stamps and I must say

I'm in love!  They are just wonderful and stamp so nice,

this is Mimi's Christmas

The papers are from We R Memory Keepers - Christmas from

last year, it included the snow ribbon slide shown.

I paper pieced the hat and scarf on Mimi from printed paper that matches

the card base.

Birds are colored with Distress Ink (and the background on front mat)

Happy Anniversay

The printed image was sent to me to play with by Karen O'Connor

(You Tube - Scrapaway1)

This became my youngest one's anniversary card.

Flower  is from Studio 18

Bottom punch is EK Success - Graceful Heart
So many thanks to Sharon at Gramma's House of Cards
I was so drawn to her cards and how she did them, including finishing the insides
that I just had to try them myself!  Be sure and check out her blog.

Friendship

Isn't she just the cutest little girl?  I took her from the Uptown Girls Digital collection from Cottage Arts.  She comes black and white when printed and I used my Copic markers to color her in.  The little chipboard heart is one I've been moving around for quite some time now.  I used Candy Apple Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and love the effect it produced.

The background mat is from Prima's Pulse Collection.

Birdie #2

This is the same Inky Antics stamp as in the last post but I just wanted you to see the difference using Copic markers and a little glitter on the wings.
