Plant Fall Color

Good morning, and thanks for joining us for the Classy Cards 'n Such challenge this week, titled Colors of Fall!

Mindy with you, sharing my inspiration for planting fall color in your garden.

I knew I wanted to look as if I were planting a wheelbarrow full of fall flowers, so I started with a sheet of watercolor paper. Using three colors of my Ken Oliver Crafts Color Bursts: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Orange, and Merlot, sprinkled and poofed color and then sprayed with water. After the colors blended and dried, I die cut the Floral Vine die by Anna Griffin, and cut it into smaller pieces.

Using the Impression Obsession Wheelbarrow die, and filled it with the Floral Vine. I also added a few Small Hydrangea Blooms, by PoppyStamps, to give more dimension. I cut the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Twenty- Seven from the beautiful metallic Echo Bronze Stardream Metallic paper sold in the Classy Cards Online Store, and mounted it on my card front with foam tape.

I hand printed a label for the grouping, "Plant Fall Color" and attached it to the top of the label.

I hope you are inspired to create a card for this weeks challenge. We love seeing what you create!

Counting Smiles

Hello, friends, it's Joy!  Here's a card made with supplies from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.

One of my favorite supplies from the store is anything Anna Griffin! The embossing folders are out of this world and the dies are so delicate! Love, love, love!

This card uses an Anna Griffin embossing folder called Rose Pavilion. The embossing is so detailed and intricate, I almost didn't want to cover up the center rose.

The die cut is also Anna Griffin and called Flourish Medallion. Just like the folders, the die is amazing! It was die cut using gorgeous Gold Mirricard. I looked for a long time, and there is nothing that compare to the shine of this card stock. I hoard even the smallest of scraps of this!

The Gold Mirricard was topped with some Heavyweight Vellum, die cut with a Nested Oval Medallion by JustRite.  On top of that I cut a smaller Nested Oval Medallion, and heat embossed the sentiment from Botanical Medallions and Banners by JustRite.

The sentiment was embossed using Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Gold Detail embossing powder.

Because the Anna Griffin Embossing folder is so detailed, I used 1/2 inch Scor-tape to adhere it to the white card stock.

Thanks for looking at my card. Have a happy stamping day.

Thank you

Hi!  Diana here to share a semi-new technique I came up with. It's inspired by clear embossing and watercoloring - but involves neither!  :)

I just received the Memory Box Pennington Rose and was trying to figure out the best way to highlight the delicate lines. I've been playing with some watercolors, and I love the soft look.  Here I sponged Spun Sugar where the rose would be, and also sponged some Evergreen Bough where the stems and leaves would be. I then adhered the die cuts over the sponged areas. I like the soft look!

I trimmed and matted all the layers using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and the MFT Blueprints 13.

I also embossed a layer with the Anna Griffin Foulard embossing folder. The fishtail banner is embossed in White Detail embossing powder, with a sentiment from  ODBD Cherry Blossom.  For extra dimensions, the banner and center layer is also popped up using Large Foam Pads. 

Hope you like this and try it out!

Sweet Wishes

Hello, Joy here today showing you a card set that I made with supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such online store.  

I began by embossing 6 card bases with Anna Griffin's Cherry Blossom embossing folder. Then die cut 6 flourishes with Anna Griffin's die called Flourish Medallion.

The flowered mat was framed with Gold Mirricard. Next I stamped 6 small cards with one of the sentiments from the Sweet Wishes stamp set by Stampavie. I heat embossed the frame and sentiments with Sparkle 'n Sprinkles Gold Detail embossing powder, and cut them out with the die called Labels Twenty-two by Spellbinders. Large Joy Foam Pads were used to pop up the sentiments.

The last thing was to put them with envelopes into a clear box and wrap with a ribbon.

Getting these ready assembly line style was quick. Have a happy stamping day!

Happy Colors

Hello, Diane with you today with what I am calling a happy card!  I think the colors are so bright and cheerful, it just has to make you happy!

I started my card with a stamped background using Distress Old Paper ink on an Impression Obsession background stamp called Sunburst.  I wanted a somewhat muted background, so I inked it lightly.  These are nice, rather large background stamps, approximately 6" x 6", so I used the Mega Mount curved acrylic block for the stamp.

I die cut the gorgeous Anna Griffin Flourish Medallion
from Madarin Curious Metallic #111 card stock.

I stamped Sweet 'n Sassy Flowers in Bloom onto Cryogen White Curious Metallic card stock, an 89# card stock perfect for using your alcohol markers on.

I popped up the image using Joy! Foam Pads Large.  I wanted a bit of bling, so I die cut my sequins using My Favorite Things Sequins die from Orange Iris Shimmer Sheetz.  I just love this die!!  It is a wonderful investment along with the Shimmer Sheetz, allowing you many, many color options using the Iris Sampler Pack Shimmer Sheetz or
the Gemstone Sampler Pack Shimmer Sheetz for your sequins.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and I hope you are inspired to make a bright and happy card of your own.
