Fall Barn

Hello Friends

I have another fall card for you today.  I am using the Autumn Ladder.  This is so detailed and adorable!

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a tan A2 card base, cut a piece of dark brown card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut a piece of wood DP 4 x 5 1/4

2.  Using the Autumn Ladder cut the following colors of card stock: green, light green, spring green, dark brown, brown, light blue, white, yellow, orange, black, light orange, red, rust, blue and silver.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue.  For the grass I used the die Spring Grass

3.  Begin to build your scene on the woodgrain DP.  I put the grass down first and then the ladder from there I added all the smaller pieces

4.  I decided that the ladder needed to lead to the hayloft doors so I just created the doors from some brown cardstock

5.  To finish the card I added the sentiment and a bow

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Now to get started!  Autumn is my favorite season!  I just love all the warm colors.  My card today is featuring the dies Fall Leaves and Fall Phrases.  I decided to play with some of my alcohol inks to create the vivid leaves.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a kraft color A2 card base.  Cut a piece of black card stock 5 3/8 x 4 1/8.  Cut a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4

2.  I used Yupo  paper to coat with my alcohol inks as shown above.  I did a variety of sheets one use the dabber and others just dropping the ink directly on the paper

3.  I used the Yupo sheet with the direct to sheet technique.  The colors were more vivid.  I then cut the leaves using the Fall Leaves die and I cut the leaves outline in black.  The little twig was from a tree die

4.  Cut a piece of burlap 1 1/2 x 4 and then dove tail one end.  Put a line of glue down the middle of the burlap and attach to the card.  I did not glue the edges of the burlap so I could tuck the leaves under it.  Arrange your leaves and twigs and glue in place.  Using Fall Phrases die cut the word autumn in black and glue to the burlap.  Add the button with the black twine bow

5.  Glue the panel to the kraft card base and then add the gold pearls and your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Lady Bugs Galore

Hello Friends

I thought it would be fun to make one more summery card before I start on all my fall creations.  I am using Doodle Bugs, Stitched Tulips and Daisies, Stitched Birdhouse plus a sentiment from one of our stamps sets called Love Bug Stamp Set.  If you haven't checked out our stamps take a minute to take a peek.  They are so sweet and the dies are included.  I want to thank Kathy Schweinfurth for the inspiration for my card.  I saw hers on Pinterest.

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 red card base, cut a piece of DP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, use the second from the largest Pierced Rectangle Frame die and cut out 3 black frames, cut out a piece of checked DP 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 and a piece of clear acetate 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 (not pictured)

2.  Using the Doodle Bug die cut out 3 lady bugs in black and red.  Using the Stitched Tulip and Daisies die cut out 3 small daisies in white and yellow.  Using the Stitched Bird House cut out just the house in 2 black checked DP and 2 red flowers DP (for the banner)

3.  Glue the 3 black frames together, glue the piece of acetate to the back of the frames.  Use foam tape to line the window as shown above.  Fill the well with shaker material.  Place the red checked retangle on the foam tape face down as seen below

4.  Place holes in all of your banner pieces both on the left and right.  Use a piece of twine to string them together as shown above.  Use dimension dots to pop them onto the card.  Glue down your shaker window just below the banner as shown above

5.  Add the flowers to the shaker window and cut the ends of the twine.  I used glue dots to secure the ends of the twine to the card

6.  Add the lady bugs and your sentiment and your card is complete
