More Fall Cards!

*2nd post for today - please scroll down to see this week's Flutter By Challenge*

Before I start with the 25 Days of Christmas on December 1st, I wanted to be sure to share with you some fall cards that I made over the last few weeks.

I love how this card turned out. I had a great time coloring it.


Last Riley with pumpkins for this year :) I used Sketch #39 from Card Patterns.

If you'd like any of the other design details, please email me or ask in the comments section.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Flutter By Wednesday #85

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday #85!

Today's challenge is to use a circle or circles with a butterfly, fairy or angel. If you'd like to play along with us, please link your card or project to Danni's blog.

I would like you to meet Miles, this cutie is from Mo's Digital Pencil. When I saw him, I knew I had to have him and share him on a Flutterby day.

I saw it as a personal challenge to include as many circle elements as possible lol. So I started by punching the image out with my Extra Giga Marvy Scallop Circle punch and then I picked this neat layout by Sketch Saturday.

I would have loved to make a circle card, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet since I don't have a circle cutter. I do have Cricut Design Studio, but I've never used it lol. Any advice out there on how to make one? Since I couldn't do the circle card, I did the next best thing and used my CM circle punch, brads and made dots with one of my copics. The plain circles were driving me nuts, so I stamped the Hi (from Hi There!) and butterflies from my Hero Arts Thinking of You set, one of my go-to sets.

Please be sure to visit my Flutterby teammates, links are on the left sidebar. I promise I'll make my rounds this week, girls!!

Today will be a busy day. I'm moving more stuff out of my parents' in the morning and then hopefully finishing the trim painting in the craftroom so I can start setting stuff up, while I wait for the electrical to be finished and the shelving to go up in the closet.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Flutterby ~ Mo's Digital Pencil, Hero Arts
Paper: Basic Grey Marrakech
Ink: Memento
Copics: E00, E25,E27,Rv21,N7,E41,B37,G99,R29,YR68, colorless blender (on the overalls)

Have a great day! Thanks for fluttering by!

A Magnolia to share

This is a cute Magnolia card that I made a few months ago and never shared.

I'm not sure which Tilda this is, but I got the image from my good friend, Sandy, who loves Tilda as much as I do. I used SC243 for the layout, very fun sketch to work with! My favorite part of this card is the sparkle and bling :)

Stamp: Magnolia Stamps
Paper: Basic Grey Eva
Copics: RV13, E33, Y32, Y35, C1, R01, V17

Try It Out Tuesday #44

I finally did it!!! I participated in a Try It Out Tuesday over at Follow Your Heart, the store blog for Susana's Card Art and Card Design.

Challenge #44 is "We've Got the Blues" and you were to use blues and one neutral or metallic. I chose to use gold since I wanted to use this Winter image (by Victoria Case for SCACD) and didn't think a silver dog would work lol. I'm not sure why the brad looks black in my picture, but I swear it's gold! It must be the lighting in my dining room.


The base card is a DCWV glittered card, got them on clearance a few years ago. I found them last night while looking for something else and the blues were perfect for what I had in mind! I used a makeup sponge and sponged SU Tempting Turquoise around Winter while she was still in the nestie and then I colored her with my copics (list below). After everything was colored and glued down, I used my Zig 2 way glue pen and add Martha Stewart glitter in Mica Flake (snow) and Carrara Marble (coat trim).

Supplied Used:
Stamps: Winter ~ Victoria Case for SCACD, sentiment ~ Great Impressions
Paper: DCWV
Ink: Memento, SU Tempting Turquoise
Copics: E00, B01, B02, B14, Y35, Y38, N7, RV21
Accessories: Nestabilities Labels 4, prima flowers, brad from my stash, gold spica glitter pens, Martha Stewart glitter

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I need to do a little cleaning and then I'll be creating again. I need to get some cards ready to be mailed tomorrow.
