When I saw this digi stamp, Kizzy & Co, I knew I needed to create with it, I mean it is just adorable! I'm not sure about my red hair but coloring is fun to practice so I'll be working on it. I used paper and ribbon from my stash to create this and colored using Copic Markers:

I have been a long time fan of Lawn Fawn and this set, Let's Go Nuts, really caught my attention. During the fall we are overrun in the country with crazy squirrels romping all over and tormenting our dogs. It only seemed fitting that I use this set for a fall creation.
I used pattern papers to make the sky, grass and the tree. The squirrels, wagon, leaves, and acorns were colored using Copic Markers which are listed below. I really am please with how this turned out and I hope you like it as well!

This stamp set by Jaded Blossom, Gnome for Christmas is one of those stamp sets that makes you smile every time you look at it. How can you resist these darling Gnomes with the skinny legs?
I decided to create a snow globe first notice the tiny Gnome peeking around the Christmas tree! I discovered that it isn't easy to get a decent picture through clear plastic but I finally settled that this was the best picture.
The weather has certainly turned cooler here in Illinois and the leaves are begining to show colors. I’m Melissa and while I was sitting outside yesterday I was suddenly inspired to create something using the beautiful fall colors. Fall is a lovely time of year but it means that cold weather is coming way to soon. brrrrr Let’s enjoy the fall while it lasts!
Using this beautiful 3D leaf embossing folder with Curious Metallic Poison Ivory card and my die cut machine I got these amazing 3D results. The dimension in this is fabulous.
Of course, I had to ink up the embossed image for additional color. I used a blend of Ranger Distressed Fossilized Amber, Distress Ink Gathered Twigs, and Distress Ink Fired brick. I used only one applicator because I wanted to colors to blend with each other.
Once I had the color applied I went ahead and trimmed up the edges and created two separate mat layers using Stardream Metallic Copper and Curious Metallic Poison Ivory card. I like a double matted card especially when wanting to bring out colors.
As you get to know me better you will notice I have a little addiction to dies, so I grabbed a few leaf dies to cut out and use as card embellishments. I used the Stardream Metallic Copper and the Discount Card Light Yellow for the leaves plus I inked these too. I then used a tag die with Curious Metallic Poison Ivory and a stamp to create the sentiment. Oh, and we can’t forget the ribbon!
I can’t say I’m looking forward to cooler weather but I recongize it’s time to drag out some warmer clothes. I think my card shares just the right amount of fall vibes for now. I hope you will save this to your Pinterest for future inspiration!
