Friday inspiration and a little sneak peak

Hi all! Here is some Friday inspiration from Audrey, Melissa and Michelle. Thought we’d get your mojo working! :)

First up is Melissa with a beautiful CAS card. Clean and Simple and absolutely gorgeous.

Both leaf and sentiment are from the Oak and Maple leaf Clear Stamps Set. And the leaf is cut out with the Oak and Maple Leaf Die and popped up with some 3D foam.

Aurdrey’s card is a Thanksgiving beauty using the Turkey red rubber stamp.

The Turkey is mounted on the Scalloped Circle Die and she is using the sentiment from the Oak and Maple Leaf Clear Stamps set. I love the distressed look on this card with inked edges and a softly inked lace that is simply wonderful! :)

Michelle has made a wonderful wintery card with new Reindeer Pair that will be up in the store shortly! We’ll let you know!!!

The sentiment is from the Victorian Ornament Clear Stamps Set.

Do you recognize the design of this card? Michelle is using the November sketch and this is a perfect time to make a final shout out about the sketch challenge that is up and running until November 30th.

Use the sketch, use any products you want and link your card up in THIS post no later than November 30th, and you will be in the random draw for a winner who will receive a $15 gift certificate to the Web Shop!!! All info HERE!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Leaf Card and Coloring Tips

Hi all! Do you remember this fabbie card from the Monday post?

Jenny made a great tutorial about how to do it and shared some coloring tips on her blog in THIS post and we thought it’d be a good idea to share it here too!

Jenny used the Oak and Maple Leaf Clear Stamps Set and Oak and Maple Leaf Die for her card and the leafs are colored with copics. Here is what she wrote about how to make this card:

You can see the Copics I used. I put all the dark colors down first and then use my lighter colors to smooth out the color transitions. Remember leaves are all blotchy too -- so the color transitions do not have to be perfect!!!! I added two small layered mats... 1/16" edge to the panel using Perfect Layer Rulers.

After constructing the card, using foam tape to pop up some of the layers. I gently bent the leaves an used Dimensional Silicone to adhere them on top of the leaf panel.

Leaf Copic Coloring Ideas

Tis the season for coloring leaves... so I thought I would show you a few a my favorite combos for fall leaves.... with Copic Markers, of course! Hope you can read my scratchy writing.

Thank you Jenny for your coloring tips!
