Too Cute Pumpkins

Good morning! 
Erin here with a cute little pumpkin stamp from Great Impressions Stamps. I love fall and I love creating cards and projects for fall/Halloween, but it's hard to get in the mood when it's 90 degrees outside! Hopefully cooler weather will be on our way soon.

That's it for me today! Have a great week!

Simple Butterfly

Good morning! Erin here with a fun card to start off the weekend. I pulled out three Great Impressions stamps: Polka Dots, Flower Flourish, and Simple Things.

(Supplies - Stamps: (GI) Polka Dots, Flower Flourish, and Simple Things. Ink: (Stampin' Up!) Smokey Slate. Cardstock: (PTI) White. Patterned Paper: (Studio Calico) July Card Kit. Doily: Stampin' Up! Tag: (Studio Calico) July Card Kit. Button: Doodlebug. Twine: Stampin' Up! Ribbon: Papertrey Ink. Gems: Unknown. Dies: (Papertrey Ink) Sketched Shapes and Beautiful Butterfly.)

I used the polka dot stamp to decorate a basic office supply tag. I layered a die cut butterfly, gems, and banner (with sentiment) on top. The cute little button and white ribbon finish it off. For the gray flourish in the background I did some selective inking to stamp just one end of the Flower Flourish stamp, to add some interest to the pink patterned paper. More gems and green twine were added last. 

That's it for me today! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Whimsical Bird Houses and Spring Eggs

Good morning! A few weeks ago Jenny posted a card and tag I created on Facebook to debut our new stamps, but I wanted to post them here as well. These gorgeous stamps are now available & are so much fun to work with! 

This is the second time I used this stamp... the first was to create this card. Same stamp, two completely different looks. 

(Supplies - Stamps: (Great Impressions) Whimsical Bird Houses and Simple Things. Ink: (Memento) Tuxedo Black, (PTI) Dark Chocolate. Cardstock: (Papertrey Ink) White. Twine: Stampin' Up! Other: Copic Markers.)

I wanted something CAS to show off this adorable stamp:

(Supplies - Stamps: Spring Eggs. Ink: (Memento) Tuxedo Black. Letter stickers: BasicGray. Ribbon: (Stampin' Up!) Daffodil Delight. Other: Copic markers, gems.)

That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by. :)

Teacups Thanks

Hello, hello!

Happy First Day of November! I've got a quick little project for you...those holidays are right around the corner...

Yep, it's another gift card holder! This one is so easy...it's a Sizzix Bigz XL die. All you have to do is decorate. My kind of gift wrap! Those little Elegant Tea Cups (F389) are stamped and then fussy cut. The tiniest bit of Copic coloring and then glitter was added to a few lines. I love tone on tone and that lovely chocolate brown ribbon on top of the brown. Well... it's just lovely!

Here's a close up of the stamped panel inside the holder. I've used this stamp, Simple Thanks (D374), for a few projects already. I think it's on my top 10 Great Impressions' list... and here it is open! Since the cardstock base is so dark, I included a small panel for someone to write in their message.

Alright, folks...that's a wrap! *wink*

Simple Things

Happy, happy Thursday! Today, I've got a sweet card

featuring another adorable Great Impressions' image...

This is Harvest Mouse...didn't I tell you this is one adorable image?! I colored with Copics and then used clear glitter over the pumpkin and the leaf.

A few colorful, leaves cut out with my Sizzix eClips.

(Do you like my fall leaves? Stop by my blog next week for the tutorial!)

You may have seen this sentiment, Simple Things on a card I made last week...works on this card, too!

I remembered to keep out the Copics I used this time...

 Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for our Blog Hop - lots of inspiration and even prizes! You don't want to miss it... See you soon!

Inky hugs,
