Paper Fashions Simple Fall Card

I have a very simple Paper Fashions Fall Card to show you today. I'm super busy getting my home ready for the Annual Xmas Walk this weekend, so I don't have a lot of time to make cards right now, but I still have all my design team responsibilities to full fill, so I used a sketch from the Clean and Simple Blog to help me make a quick card. The images are from two separate sets: the milk can is from the ' All About Containers' and the sunflowers came from the set "Filler Up!". The sentiment is from the set 'Thoughts of You'.

I cut the milk can and sunflowers out and popped them up on dimensionals. The paper is Debbie Mum 'Harvest and Holiday'. I used dew drops for embellishment.

Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Happy Halloween'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's challenge is 'Happy Halloween'. Simply make a card or project that celebrates Halloween and be sure to include at least one digital element. Our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry.

To make my card I used the Doodle Pantry image 'Quirky Bat'. The bat paper is digital paper from the set, and the sentiment, along with several others, is also included. My sketch by The Sweet Stop. I printed the bat 3 times and popped the body up once, and then just the head the last time. I added ribbon and adhesive crystals for embellishment.
Here's a close up for you so you can see the dimension and coloring better:

A Basket of Sweet Wishes

Hello! Today I have a Paper Fashions set to show you called "Sweet Wishes". It comes with this adorable Apple Basket and one Sentiment. I printed the image twice and cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals twice. The whole image is up on dimensionals for the first layer, and then just the basket and the front two apples for the second layer. My sketch is by 'The Sweet Stop' and the paper is DCWV 'Amber Autumn'. I used hemp trim, seam binding which I dyed myself, felt flowers/buttons, linen thread and dew drops for embellishment. Here is a close up so you can get an idea of the dimension:

Not a Creature was Stirring....

Hello! Today I have a Doodle Pantry Christmas Card to show you. The image is from the 'Holiday Ants' set. This set includes two different images and several sentiments. It is also available pre-colored and with coodinating digi papers. I chose to color the image myself, but I used the red digi paper on my card. My layout is from JUGS104. I used a Cuttlebug Snowflake Folder for the white background panel, and two different punches from E.K. Success. My embellishments are a felt snowflake from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts, Crystal Domes, and Ribbon.
Because the sentiment was a two-part one, I decorated the inside of my card as well.

Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Fall Colors'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. Our challenge this week is 'Fall Colors'; simply make a card or project using the colors you see in the Fall. It doesn't have to be fall-themed, you only need to use Fall Colors and one digital element. Our sponsor this week is 'Wee Stamps'.

To make my card, I used the Wee Stamps image "Sweet Blossom" and a sketch I Love Sketches. I focused on all the plum and red colors you see this time of year. My paper is Basic Grey 'Indian Summer'. I used felt buttons from JoAnn's, ribbon from Stampin Up!, hemp, and dew drops for embellishment. I put Stickles on all the flowers in the main image.

Give Thanks

Hello! Today I have a Paper Fashions Fall/Thanksgiving Card that uses three different sets. The basket is from the 'All About Containers' set, the gourds are from the 'Thanksgiving Blessings' set, and the sentiment is from the 'Thanksgiving Blessings Sentiments' set.

To make my card, I used fall paper from Papertrey Ink. I cut out the gourds and the basket, and I popped the basket only up on dimensionals, but glued the gourds to the sentiment panel. For embellishment I used a felt button flower from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts, ribbon, a fabric button brad from Stampin Up! and dew drops. I'm making some progress on my house for the Christmas Walk. I got the upstairs bedrooms and hallway cleaned and decorated, the kitchen cleaned and about 3/4 decorated, one tree completely assembled and up, one tree assembled but has yet to be decorated, and I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the family room. So I only have about 7 rooms left plus the outside, and about 4 weeks left till the walk. Wish me luck! LOL! Have a great day! Amy

The Only Bean I Really Like

Hello! Today I have a Paper Fashions Card to show you that uses images from the set 'The Perfect Blend'. The sentiment is from the set 'Brewing Some Trouble'. My sketch is by Amy Sheffer (SSD95), and the papers are My Mind's Eye Stella Rose "Hattie". I cut out the coffee bean bag image and put it up on dimensionals, and I also cut all the little beans out and pasted those on the main image panel as well. I love this sentiment, it's so cute! However, it's not true for me. I love beans and they are a big part of my diet! If you don't see me around in blog land too much for the next month, it's because I'm very busy right now. I received a phone call from our local Methodist Church which sponsors the 'Christmas Walk' charity event in our community. They asked if my home could be featured on the walk this year. Of course I said 'yes!', it was such an honor to be asked, but now I'm in over my head. I have to decorate my home from top to bottom inside and out and I have less than 4 weeks to complete the task. And I work full-time. I did ask for some paid time off at work, and they were able to give me a few days, so that should help. But because of this huge event, I have to cut back somewhere, and less time spent on the computer will have to be one of them. Wish me luck!

Have a great day! Amy

Doodle Pantry's 'Snow Birdie'

Hello! Even though it was a beautiful 80 degree day in Northwestern Wisconsin today, I have a winter card to show you! The image is from Doodle Pantry and is called 'Snow Birdie'. This image is available in out-line and in color, and it also comes with several sentiments and digital papers. I used the outline image and my own designer papers from my stash. I put Flower Soft on the ground for snow, and Flocking on the hats. Have a great day! Amy
