Pumpkin card

I've started going through my Creative Kuts files and intend to make them all!  

That's my plan for this year.

Color challenge

It's time for a new challenge!

This is a fun one, use the above colors in your project.

I made this cute fall wreath.  It's a file I've had for a while from Cuddly Cute Designs.

The sponsor this month is Bugaboo digi stamps. Head over to Connie Can Crop and join today!

Anything Goes with QKR stampede

Hunting Turkey Digital Stamp

Howdy stampers! Today is a new challenge at QKR stampede.  This week the theme is Anything Goes!

I chose to use this fun turkey, he cracks me up.  Little pilgrim dude goin' to get his dinner!

I colored him with my pencils and blended with gamsol and let my cameo cut him out for me.

I used a couple of  my MFT dies to create the ground for him to walk on.

The "sun" is a fun fabric embellishment I've had for ages.

 I glued his feet to the paper and used foam tape on the rest of his body for some dimension.

September card and layout

Happy New Year!!

 Aren't these just gorgeous?  I am blown away at my own work, lol

Although Cheryl did all the hard work designing them.

I cut all the pieces on white paper and then used my inks to sponge color on them.  These photos do not do justice to the depth each piece has.

Wood plank decoration

I went to a ladies' night at the church we have our Coop homeschool meetings at and we made this adorable decoration.  The snowman is on the back of the scarecrow.  His hair and bow are on velcro so you pull them off when it's time to display the snowman.

Just Brilliant!!  I really need to add some bling to the snowman, he's too plain.

Happy fall

Hey there, I am sharing a card using this month's free image for the challenge.

I used my colored pencils to color him.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Cute crow

This card is made using the fall bird digi set from Little Scraps of Heaven.

I printed all as one on glossy paper.

It looks pretty cool I think.

I added some fun gems to the flower centers.

Creative Kuts lay outs and shadow box cards

Have you seen the new company that the co-founder of SVG Cuts started?  

Well, these are from The Dreaming Tree.  They are huge for cards but they are amazing!

They would make an awesome gift for that person who doesn't "need" anything or tells you "I don't know what you can get me"

Here's the best part, these are shadow cards, there are 3 layers to each card so when you put a candle (battery operated LED please for safety) in the opening in the back, magic happens when you dim the lights.

The photo above shows the cardinals, the red metallic paper reflects beautifully and I love how the stream glows on the one on the right.

They are so much more amazing in person.  They go together quickly and look like you spent forever on them.  Pop one into a small box with a battery operated small candle, and blow them away!

 How cute did this turn out?  I have to admit, sometimes I put off starting a file when it has a lot of pieces.  Seems daunting at times but man!, when it's finished it's amazing!

 This one is sweet and simple. I love the background paper a lot.

Fall wreath

digi22101 Oak Leaf Wreath

I colored the wreath with my markers then used foam pieces to pop it up in the frame I created.

To make it, I started with a 6 inch square, my diagonal scoring board from Stampin up and my scoring tool.  I put the paper in the corner of the scoring tool and scored at 3 inches, and turning until each side was scored, I then score at 3 7/8 on each side.

I folded the 3 inch score in a mountain fold and the inner score line a valley fold.

I secured the folded sections using 2 pieces of foam tape on the larger fold and a foam piece in the center of the triangle piece.

 

A little taste of fall

 Isn't this wonderful?  I am so tickled with it.  The hay bales are SO cool!!

I am having so much fun on this "train ride" with Cheryl.  Each month she's making the most amazing lay outs and cards and boxes.

This is a little treat bag.  I put some mini bags of M&M's inside.  

I used orange acetate to create the window since the pumpkin is the window.

October's garden

 I seriously love this card!!  It was  gift from Cheryl for posting projects that I've made.  She's so generous.  If you aren't part of the facebook fan page you are missing out!

I have the hardest time photographing layouts.  I have tried all kinds of different ways and I still go wonky. sigh

Here's a close up of the page elements so you can get a better look.  The sunflowers are cut from glitter paper.

Happy fall

This is the current stamp of the month, I've had fun playing.

The scarecrow is popped up on foam tape along with the sign.

I used a cool card file from my SIL library.  I turned it on it's side for a fun twist.

DeeDee is also sponsoring a fun challenge at I Did It Creations, use 2 or more pumpkins, so I'm linking up as well.

Happy fall

A cute little fall box card for today. 

I love the hay bales on this.  When I saw the photo of the before I started cutting I doubted if I'd get a good result with the cuts but yup, Cheryl is a genius!
