Pumpkin Patch Fall card by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here today with a fun Fall card. 

I'm in awe thats is fall, and we have all things fall to look forward to! I'm having fun with watercolor paper and stamps, all the beautiful fall hues melting into the paper! The Autumn Blessings stamp set is one of my favorites and tends to be the first one I reach for when I think fall!

I used a watercolor paper, and a slightly wet brush to "smudge" the leaves in the background, I added a few accents with Marvy Color In Watercolor Pencils for the pumpkin stems and leaf edges. So easy to feel like a real artist! A simple bow made from cream cord, adds just the right amount of softness and texture to finish the card. 

Now to enjoy all things Pumpkin spice!

Water Coloured Sunflower Trio by Lesley

Hello Crafty friends! Lesley here and I am thrilled to share three cards I made using the fabulous stamps from Jane's Doodles and SRM Press! I have been away from my craft room for a month, so I was pretty excited to get inky today! I decided to get out some water colour paper and to use my distress inks to "paint" the sunflower image!

I used the Autumn Blessings stamp set with both the Clear Stamp Big Thank You and the Clear Stamp Big Hello stamp sets.  I used a tiny bit of lace to trim this card. The lace is also new and is called Lace/2” X 25 Yds. - Ecru.  I cut off a piece to fit the width of my card and then taped it under the panel.

 I kept the designs simple and tried to let the sunflower shine! I stamped the sunflower with Stazon ink on the water color paper and then using a water pen, I coloured each flower using distress inks. 

I love how the BIG bold hello stands out on my card!  I'll be using these sentiments a lot I'm sure!

 I kept my colours bright and then did a green/aqua wash behind the main image. The sentiments were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

LOVE the way this Thank You sentiments looks on my card!  So BIG and beautiful!

I added a bit of Twine on each card to tie them all together. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have the chance to get "crafty" soon!

Leaf Gift Card Set by Lesley

Fall is coming and with it the warm, comforting colours and textures I love! Hello crafty friends!  Lesley here! Today I am sharing a gift box that I decorated with a canvas tag and some lace! 

I wanted to so some more water colouring. I decided to use the small leaf stamp and sentiment from the Jane's Doodles Autumn Blessings stamp set.

As you can see, I used some lace to adorn my simple 4.25" square cards. The lace is called Lace/2” X 25 Yds. - Ecru. 

I cut off a piece to fit the width of my card and then taped it down. 

A bit of Twine on each card was used to tie them all together. 

I love the way this set of cards turned out.  

The lace is a beautiful added touch, don't you think?

The canvas tag was easy to use with some Tombow glue.  I see myself using lots more of these!  You can stamp right on them too!

I love to create gift sets for family and friends...and this stamp set has my brain whirling with Thanksgiving Dinner table setting ideas! I need to play with it some more!  

I kept the design simple and pretty! I absolutely love the new lace! I placed all the cards into a clear A2 Card Box, I hope you enjoyed reading about my project today! Happy crafting and thank you so much for stopping by!

Lace Layered Card by Shantaie

 Shantaie here today and I've got to say… I love lace!  Lace is pretty no matter how its used, but as a layer on a card it is gorgeous! I love the softness it adds while still adding texture and dimension. In a word - delicious!

I spritzed the corners with a touch of glimmer mist to shade the paper and lace just a bit. I stamped the sunflower from Jane's Doodles Autumn blessings stamp set in black momento ink and colored it in with spectrum noir markers, that touch of white was achieved with one of our chalk markers (cool huh?)

I added a strand of twine and a bitty tag topped with a fancy sentiment sticker for an all occasion greeting. I love the gold mixed with lace and a sweet floral stamp. 

This is one of those cards that I will have a hard time parting with! :)
