introducing fence line: autumn + bold borders: foliage...

Good morning friends!  Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to the new Papertrey Ink, Fence Line:  Autumn stamp set and coordinating dies.  I ADORE these products and love creating with them.

I have used the beautiful, new Bold Borders:  Foliage die as the frame around my card, cutting it from Vintage Cream cardstock.  This was layered over a patterned paper card base.  I then used the Noted Simply Stitched A2 die to create the background for my autumn scene.

The pumpkins, wheat stalks, wagon wheel, scarecrow, and crow are all from the Fence Line:  Autumn stamp set.  The "For You" die cut is from the new Bold Borders:  Foliage die, and "Grateful" is from the new Forest Floor:  Autumn.

On my next card, I the Bold Borders:  Foliage die with corrugated cardstock, giving it a textured, dimensional look.  I then ran the die through my machine again, using gold glittered cardstock and snipped a few of the leaves from the die cut, adhering them to the original.

Inside the Bold Borders:  Foliage frame, I stamped images from the Fence Line:  Autumn stamp set.  I love the ability to build a variety of scenes using this fun set.

My sentiment is from the Glorious Globes:  Autumn stamp set, with my large leaves from the Forest Floor:  Autumn stamp set.

Lastly, I created an autumn tag using the new Shape Shifters:  Circle 3 die as my tag base.  The top layer was cut from Scarlet Jewel with the bottom layer cut from Saffron Spice.  

Next, I layered on my fence, pumpkins, scarecrow, and wheat stalks, allowing the fence to extend over the edge of the tag a bit for character.

I used thew Forest Floor:  Autumn stamp set and dies once again to create my tag, adding in an image from the new Seasonal Borders:  Autumn as well.

All of these items will be available and linked below on the 15th of August at 10PM EST.  More to see on the Papertrey Ink blog!

reverse confetti august blog hop...

Hello my friends!  Welcome to the August Reverse Confetti blog hop!  Today's hop is going to be so much fun because it's all about patterned paper....one of my most favorite elements.  I went with an Autumn color scheme, using paper from both the 6x6 Paper Bliss and Fun Times paper pads to add color across the center of my card.  I love how the bright orange and green look on a neutral, Sand cardstock base.

I used the Large Eyelet Cover Panel in the background, stamping a subtle design over it using the Elegant Florals stamp set.  I then created a focal point using the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts and the Pumpkin Patch stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts.

I brought in a few more florals using the Build A Bunch stamp set and Confetti Cuts.  Love this sweet set as it can be used for seasons throughout the year.  To finish, I added a junk bow and enamel dots.  I'm ready for some Autumn here, how about you?

There are so many fantastic designers joining in today, so be sure to follow along by visiting the links below.

Enjoy your day!

friendly frolic...

Morning!  It's hot and slightly miserable around here lately and I suppose I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I feel like crafting for Fall!  I used supplies from Simon Says Stamp's new Friendly Frolic release on my card today...such a fun release!

The new Friendly Frolic Diamond Pattern Wafer Die is beautiful and you can see it here, used as my background.  I cut it from scarlet cardstock, layering it over cream cardstock.  I added melted enamel splatters using Shabby Green Embossing Enamel from Stampendous.

Over my background, I added fun toppings using patterned paper and stamps from Carta Bella's new Fall Break collection.  Oh how I love this sweet new line....makes me happy!  To create a patterned paper border in coordinating colors, I used Fall Break paper along with the Spellbinders Lily Pearl Flat Fold die.  

I brought in texture and dimension by die cutting leaves from corrugated and glittered cardstock, two of my favorite elements.  Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Fall Break stamp set on a tag cut using the Round Top Tag from Reverse Confetti and then added a few enamel dots to finish.

Supplies listed for you below and lots for you to enjoy on the Simon Says Stamp blog.

Have a wonderful Friday!

happy fall-idays...

Good morning!  Welcome to Reverse Confetti's Fall-idays event!  Today some of the Reverse Confetti designers are sharing Thanksgiving projects....yesterday some of the designers created for Halloween, and tomorrow there will be a little something else :).

I love making pretty packages even prettier :), so today I've dressed up a couple of fun burlap bags using some of my favorite Reverse Confetti products.  

I created oversized tags beginning with the Lacy Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts as my base.  I layered two different sizes on top of one another, with a fun coordinating pattern in the background, and my solid on top.  

I then embellished my tags using the Happy Harvest and Blooms 'N Buds stamp set along with their coordinating dies.

 

The Happy Harvest set is one of my most favorite as I love the darling sayings on each acorn and the font is just too much....love this set!

And the tiny details you can add with the Blooms 'N Buds stamp set, brings each of these floral images to life.  I love playing around with the colors, mixing and matching as I go.

There's plenty more to enjoy by following the links listed below.  Thanks for visiting!
