The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak Fall Fun

Hi there!  Today is the last day of sneak peaks and tomorrow all of this stampy goodness will be for sale over at The Craft's Meow!  I am sharing a card using a FABULOUS set by Jenny Suchin called Fall Fun!  Oh goodness, I am quite partial to this one I must admit.  Check it out.

Using a card base I had made earlier from my misting fun in this post here, I stamped the log image repeatedly using four different colors of ink on the right side of the card base.  I then stamped my sentiment in brown.

I hope you've enjoyed the previews this week!  I certainly appreciate you stopping by.  Remember to go on over to the TCM blog for a chance to win it!  Check back tomorrow for the Blog Hop!

Hey again my friends, it's feast or famine this week!  Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Along with all that's going on this week, I am up on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog today with a fun little tag using The Core of It.  I just adore the apples in the set, so I showcased them.  For my project today, I went with a gift tag.  Being apple season and all, my husband made the most delicious apple sauce from apples he picked while visiting his parents farm.  Oh my this apple sauce is heavenly and really hard to stop eating!  Who wouldn't love to get a jar of homemade applesauce with a little handmade tag on it?!

Taking a tag die from Papertrey Ink, I die cut a piece of Ripe Avocado card stock and adhered my stamped and cut apple slices.  I then die cut a banner and stamped my sentiment, trimming the end and tucking it under an apple slice.  Using my pinking shears, I cut a piece of patterned paper in a circle and placed it on top of my jar lid, tying it with twine and adding my tag.

Here is a look at the set I used.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I appreciate it mucho!  Have a good one my friends!

Hello!  We have two more sets to preview over at The Craft's Meow and today's set is done by none other than Nina Bracket!  Oh my does Nina know how to make a fabulous set!  LOVE it.  Here is what I did with it.

I stamped one of the pear images across the front of the card in Harvest Pigment ink, alternating it.  I cut the panel down, rounded the corners and adhered it to a white card base.  Added strips of brown card stock and stamped my sentiment.  Lastly, I added a bit of bling and rounded out the sentiment with a few letter stickers.

The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak Apple Pickin' Time

Hello there!  Today is day three of The Craft's Meow sneak peaks!  Are you getting excited?  For my card I have another awesome set by Maree Truelove to showcase, this one is called Apple Pickin' Time.  I don't know bout you but I love going to our local orchard to pick up fresh apples during these fall months, yum!

Reaching for October Afternoon's oldie but goodie, Farm Fresh collection, I adhered a piece of one of my favs to the bottom of a cream card base and rounded the corners.  I die cut a scallop piece and tied around some twine.  Lastly, I adhered the cart and just the apples from the basket image stamped onto red card stock.  Can't forget that fabulous feel good sentiment which I stamped in brown pigment ink.

I hope you enjoyed, and remember to stop over at The Craft's Meow Blog for a chance to win this set!

The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak As We Gather Together

Hey hey!  I am so excited about this week because The Craft's Meow has some A-Mazing stamps coming out for October.  Today, I am showing a card made with the set called As We Gather Together, illustrated by the very talented Kaitlyn Ord.  Wow, is all I can say about it.

Taking yellow and red pigment ink, I randomly stamped the leaf image down the front of the card.  I added my sentiment in brown and paper-pieced the little acorn image.  Inside the card, I stamped another sentiment and two more acorns using Ripe Avocado ink.

I hope you have enjoyed today's preview.  I hope you will checkout the other team members projects and of course The Craft's Meow blog for more inspiration.

Monochromatic Thank You

Hey there friend.  I wanted to pop in a share a card I made yesterday with my gals at Archiver's!  I had a blast with them and can't wait for next time.  So for this card I went along with the latest CAS-ual Friday challenge to do monochromatic with three shades and brown.  I picked up Hero Arts' Delicate Leaf Stamp set at the store and remembered a fabulous card that Maile Belle's had made for a Paper Crafts special issue using it.  She did hers in Aqua and I just loved the LO.  Anyway, I just couldn't get that card out of my head so I ended up doing about the same thing in my favorite color, yellow.  Thank you Maile for being a creative genius!!

Using Fresh Ink's Harvest pigment ink, I stamped two of the strips from Papertrey Ink's Faux Ribbon set.  I then masked the strips off and stamped my leaf clusters, first on scrap paper and again on my card.  I stamped my sentiment in brown and finished it off with yellow buttons threaded with brown embroidery floss.

Thank you so much for popping by!  Be prepared, this week I am posting EVERYDAY with the latest TCM release, so stay tuned!  You don't want to miss these new sets!

A Fall Happy Anniversary

Hey!  I can't believe it's Friday!  YEAH!  I am excited for this weekend because it is our bimonthly meeting at Archiver's!  I just love spending the day with the ladies, laughing and getting crafty.  I would post pics, but I always forget my camera!

Onto my card for today, I used a new set to me, Very Vintage Labels from WPlus9.  Love the gorgeous blooms in this set.  I paired it with the colors from The Play Date Cafe, such a lovely fall palette.

Stamped my flower onto white card stock and colored it.  I then cut strips of rust and light green card stock strips and adhered them to the top and bottom of my white panel.  I stamped my sentiment in black and framed it with rhinestones colored with a gold copic marker.

Here is a look at the inspirational pic:

For those of you who might be interested, I have pics of our chicken coop!  Now, we still have to paint it so it is very rustic, but the chickens love it and are really warming up to us.  Still no eggs yet, but then when they are molting, all of their energy and protein deposits go towards growing their new feathers, so eggs are highly unlikely.  Add to that the vanishing daylight hours, I think we might not see an egg for awhile.

A Sweet Spoonful

Hey my friends, I am sharing a fun little card being featured on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog today, using one of my favs, Cool Scoop!  Love this set.

Starting with a Melon Berry panel, I rounded the corners and adhered it to a white card base.

Stamped the ice cream scoop onto Lemon Tart card stock, stamped them with dots using Versamark ink and cut them out, set them aside.  Stamped my spoon onto gray card stock, cut it out and again set it aside.

I then focused on my sentiment, stamped on vellum and wrapped around the card front and secured to the inside of the card.  After that I adhered my ice cream scoops and spoon!

I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I will return sooner than later.  Life seemed to pick up speed on me and killed what mojo I thought I had left!  Eek, I hate when that happens.  I just walk into my room and stare, lol!  You can be sure I will be back next week to kick off the October release of The Craft's Meow, you won't want to miss these amazing sets!

Congrats! It's A Boy!

Hello my friends!  I figured I should pop in here and at least show something that I have done.  It seems I am either too busy or have absolutely no inclination to craft!  So for today's little project, it is being shared because it is a reject from the latest Paper Crafts call.  I love Amber's Reject Blog Hop's and am throwing this one in!

I used the masking technique with the clouds, and paper-pieced the air plane.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!

P.S.
A tidbit about the chickens...Sassy laid one egg a couple of days ago and Gretchen laid one with no shell.  So we hope more will come soon!  I will also have pics of the coop, they are still on my camera and need to be edited!  :0)

Fun{tashe}tic and a pic

Hey there my friend!  Welcome, welcome!  I will save the pic for later, right now I have a card to share.  A card that I consider to be my bravest move yet.  Aside from glitter, spray mists are my next least fav.  BUT, I have since changed my mind.  Embellish has a fabulous color palette along with the use of paint or spray mists.  I really don't like to get that messy when I craft so I was apprehensive.  Until that is, Jennifer McGuire's Inspiration Showcase class.  I am branching out!  Oh, I also made it 4 inches square, so it fits with the latest CAS-ual Friday challenge!  Score!

Starting with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and some pearlized water, I took a paint brush and saturated it with ink.  I then flicked the brush across the card front several times and let it dry.

Once it dried, I stamped a turquoise strip and my sentiment in brown.

Lastly, I stamped my mustache image in gray on Smokey Shadow paper, cut it out and popped it up.  I then rounded two of the corners of my card, and of course added a bit of bling!

Here is a look at the inspirational pic:

So a bit different for me, but overall I really like it!  Now how bout a pic?  We decided to expand the family and adopt a few pets...for their eggs of course!  Check out our new Barred Rock chickens.  We named them Sassy and Gretchen.  They are a hoot!

Thank you for humoring me.  I just had to share and I will show you their coop at some point too.  Right now John is still building it, so these gals have been living in a small cage!

Have a great day,
Lindsay

Hello Beautiful

Hey there!  I hope you had a chance to hop along with the Sweet Tooth Girls yesterday!  If you didn't get a chance, check it out here.  There are so many fun sets to chose from and the girls did an awesome job featuring them.  Today, I am up on the SSS blog and am showcasing the set Hello Beautiful.  Who couldn't use a hairdryer image?  Here, I have two cards using it!

Starting with some fabulous patterned paper from Echo Park's Splash collection and adhered my panel to a white card base.

Next, I took a white piece of card stock, stamped my hairdryer and paper-pieced it with some of the papers from the same collection.  I then stamped the flourish in three different shades of dye ink along with my sentiment.

For this next card, I left it black and white, except for the "air" blowing out of it, which I did in rainbow of colors.

Starting with a white and black panel, I die cut them using Spellbinders Labels 1 and matted them together.  I stamped the hairdryer and cut it out, popped it up with foam dimensionals.

I then stamped the air using different colors of Memento dye inks, and added some small rhinestones.

Lastly, I stamped my sentiment!

Thank you for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed my projects.  You can check out the stamp set I used here.  Have a great day!

Tuesday Trigger: Garden Glory

Looking for the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog Hop?  Please click here, or scroll down.

Hello again friend!  Time is tickin' when it comes to the latest Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger called Garden Glory and I didn't want to miss out!  The colors are gorgeous and I couldn't resist it!  This day needed a little crafty time in it for sure and what better way to use it.  Here is where the picture led me.

I started by pulling out the green design from the chair using an image from Papertrey Ink's Giga Guidelines II.  Stamping it three times in Green (Hero Arts).  I then added a center image stamped in a light blue and cut out and topping that with a brown pearl.  As I was making this part, I kept thinking about a card that Cristina had made and ended up using the same LO and medallion center that she did.  That Cristina, such a genius she is!

I then cut strips of Hawaiian Shores card stock to match the book on the end table and stamped my sentiment in brown to coincide with the wood end table.

Here is a look at the inspirational pic:

I hope you likey!  Have a great day!

Thank You...Telegram Style

Hey there my friend!  Long time no blog!  Sorry bout that.  Sometimes life gets a little hectic and all you can do is hang on and let some things slide.  The latest Embellish Challenge ends tomorrow and I certainly didn't want to miss out!  I love the colors and stripes!  For my card today, I decided to make a Thank You card for my In-laws, who graciously kept us over the weekend.

To start, I took the stripe image from that set and masked and stamped at a diagonal alternating red and light blue.

I then stamped the Telegram image from Telegram by The Craft's Meow onto Kraft card stock, cut it out and distressed it.  Tied on some red twill and adhered it to my card base.

Here is a look at the inspirational colors:

Thank you so much for popping by today to see me!  I hope you will come back tomorrow, as the Sweet Stamp Shop is having a super fun Blog Hop!  You don't want to miss it.
