Leafy Hello

Today's post is an autumn card made with primarily retired products. I have officially run out of Painted Autumn DSP (this year's fall paper), but I do have some random DSP from previous years. So I grabbed this piece of Into the Woods DSP and made a base for my stamped leaves. The only current item I used was the Stitched Shapes Framelits to create my sentiment. I feel great about using some random scraps and fighting the urge to just buy more new stuff!

Stamps: For All Things (retired)
Inks: Blackberry Bliss (retired); Cajun Craze; Mossy Meadow (retired); Tangerine Tango
Cardstock: Into the Woods DSP (retired); Delightful Dijon (retired); Very Vanilla

SSINKCS27: Repeated Olive

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a fun card sketch challenge today.

I went with my favorite color combination of green and purple. This time I went with Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss. I layered some of the Into the Woods DSP to play off the repeated Old Olive color. The purple comes in with the stamp and washi tape. A nice clean combination. Overall I went with a less is more approach for this card and I love it!

SSINKCC27: Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a fun color challenge:

I adore these colors together. I decided to keep my card in the fall/Thanksgiving arena instead of Christmas. Although now I have a ton of Christmas designs using these colors floating around my head. I saw a few cute grid cards online and decided to make my own featuring some great DSP and stamped images. (Note: the purple vines from Into the Woods are technically Rich Razzleberry, but I love their slightly muted look in the card combination. I kept them there but made sure to add my Blackberry Bliss in card stock and stamped images.)

SSINKMC26: Thanksgiving Treat Box

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our Mystery Challenge Rules. What to do? This month I went with Burlap, Island Indigo, and Thanks.

Instead of a card, I decided to make a little Thanksgiving treat box. Wouldn't these look adorable as place settings for Thanksgiving dinner? I sponged on some ink to the bottom of the box to give the paper a little something extra. I then added the sentiment tag for a fun pop of color. I think the little wooden leaf really makes the box! And the burlap is a great texture instead of using regular ribbon.

Holiday CASE

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) from the Holiday Catalog. I went back and forth for awhile, but finally decided on this card from the Into the Woods suite.

I loved the little fox card, but it was a bit plain for my tastes. I decided to jazz is up a bit and use more color! The card below is what I ended up with. I love all the colors in the card (hint: use markers!). But my favorite is the sweet little fox. Arthur was also super excited about the fox. I had to stamp him one on another piece of paper so he could carry it around the house. After assembling the layers, I realized it needed an embellishment of some kind... Into the Woods Elements to the rescue. Perfect!

SSINKMC25: Drip Dry Pumpkin

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our Mystery Challenge Rules. What to do? I decided to include a pumpkin, watercolor, and a framelit.

I saw a new watercolor technique on Pinterest a few weeks back. I had to try is out! Basically you wet your watercolor paper, squirt some ink onto the top of the paper, and hold it up to let it drip down. This was my first attempt at the technique, but I'm sure I'll be trying it again soon! After adding the pumpkin, I layered some DSP and a stamped image. I finished the card with some burlap twine.
