A Shaker Colorful Seasons cottage scene

I never did use up all the elements of the Oct. 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit, so I had a brilliant idea to use some of them in this autumn card.

This week's class is on the Colorful Seasons - 3 cards, 3 seasons.  This will be an extra card on display for this class.

The base card is Early Espresso card stock, layered with Crumb Cake the edges of which were sponged with Early Espresso ink.

At the bottom I placed a piece of Wood Texture DSP which looks like logs stacked.  I only cut a few of the layers of wood to mimic wood stacked at a cottage. Again I sponged the edges with Early Espresso ink.

Beside the row of logs, I adhered a Muskoka chair die cut in copper foil.  Using the adhesive sheets to die cut makes the application of this die cut so easy.  No messy glue!! Have I told you how much I love, love those adhesive sheets??!!

The art piece is a window die cut using the Hearth & Home Framelit which I placed on a horizontal plane. I used the Wood Texture DSP to die cut the window and used tulle to turn it into a shaker.  The shaker elements are from the Oct. 2016 Paper Pumpkin, a perfect color for this autumn card.

Using chocolate chip card stock, I die cut a branch, and adhered 3 copper foil leaves.

The sentiment is also from the same Paper Pumpkin stamp set.

Just Peeking in to Say Hello

I'm on a kitty roll, and for this card I combined the Pretty Kitties with the window framelit.

• The pretty kitty was stamped with Black Memento and coloured with a blender pen and ink pads.  The sky was created by sponging over a scallop circle and Marina Mist ink.
• The finished art piece was placed behind a die cut hearth and home window frame that had a yellow flower decorating the outside.The old olive leaves were punched with the now retured Bird Builder punch.

The bard base is crumb cake cardstock, layerd with Whisper White stamped with a Timeless Texture stamp.  Over the left half a piece of crumb cake DSP was adhered, and some chevron ribbon (retired) hides the seam.

The Washi tape punch was used to punch out the sentiment.

Happy Home Card #2

This is the second card made using the stamp set "Happy Home" and the Hearth & Home Framelit.  The stamp set will be available in January.  The scene in this second card reflects a spring sky and a lonely bench can be seen on the horizon.

For the scene behind the window, I stamped the image of the bench and clouds, and then sponged the sky with Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, and Pink Pirouette.  I painted the clouds with Whisper White ink to make them look whiter.  A small butterfly was punched using Watercolor Wonder cardstock and attached to the top right of the window frame.

On the window sill I made a bouquet of leaves and flowers.  The leaves were punched using the Bird Builder Punch; the flowers using the Blossom Bunch Punch.  In the center of each flower I placed a rhinestone and painted some gold glimmer around it.

The basic card is Old Olive, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Boho embossing folder.  A strip of Old Olive DSP was adhered to the lower half of the card with a piece of white seam binding wrapped around it.
