Fairy Hugs - Olivia reading to Magu!

 Hello everyone and Happy Monday!! 

I am a DT for Fairy Stamper Hugs!
It is the #1 USA Retailer for Fairy Hugs Stamps
Check out the store here!!
 

This card started out with a gel plate and some Distress Oxide!  I love that you never know what the result might be.  I am loving the newest release from Fairy Hugs with the book theme!
For this card, i made a mask* of the fairy called, Olivia from Fairy Hugs.  I stamped her first and then proceeded to stamp the rest of the stamps around her.  The last thing i did was color in the images with Prismacolor pencils.

 *To make a mask you need to stamp the image that you want to show up in front of images on a separate piece of paper and cut the image out. Then you stamp that image on your project and put the mask on top of it.  Then you proceed to stamp other images "on top" of the masked image.  When you remove the mask, the image you stamped first looks like it is in front of the other stamped images.

Fairy Hugs - Hoots and a Stack of Books

 Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!! 

I am a DT for Fairy Stamper Hugs!
It is the #1 USA Retailer for Fairy Hugs Stamps
Check out the store here!!
 
I pulled up one of my favorite cards i haven't shared on my blog yet from the Fairy Hugs "Book" release.
I love this owl!



This was such a fun card to make.  The background paper was created on my gel plate.  I added the moon shadow with some ink using a die cut cardstock circle for a mask.
Once i stamped the owl and the book stack i also added more ink and colored pencil to the "hill"
I always "audition" my stamps on my background using the clear acetate that comes with stamps. Once i am happy with the placement, i start stamping.  I didn't mask this time, i stamped the book stack in a lighter gray ( VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist) and then i stamped the owl in VersaFine Clair - Nocturne. 
I added the cherry blossom branch to the top by rotating the stamp to make it longer.
Last i added the sentiment.  Now for some fun coloring.  I added some Prismacolor pencil to the owls glasses and beak and to the stack of books.  I tried to go with colors that worked with the background..and i had a lot to choose from.  Lastly, i used my gold sparkly gel pen.

Tutti Designs - 720 Stacked Pumpkin adding a tag..or just a table card.

Hello!  Let's see what you can create with Tutti Designs today!

Here is another idea for a Thank you, Thanksgiving, Grateful card, or a table setting card.


For this card i decided to go with a 6 x 6" card.  Which means i had to choose whether i wanted to fill the background with Tutti Designs - 388 Leaves Background.  I chose not to and cut off the border that comes with the die so it seemed intentional as just a section. 
I created the pumpkin just like the previous Tutti Designs card i shared, by inking up some cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink - Cracking Campfire, but in this instance, i cut Tutti Designs - 720 Stacked Pumpkins from copper glitter paper. 
The background paper and the paper i used for the leaves background is We Are 3 Digital Paper - Plaids Stripes Neutral.
I love, love Tutti Designs - 716 Holiday Foliage because it can be used any time.. I also cut the foliage twice once from the pattern paper and also from a dark paper to look like a shadow.

Tutti Designs - 720 Stacked Pumpkins for Thanksgiving

Hello!  Let's see what you can create with Tutti Designs today!

Do you like to make Thanksgiving or Grateful cards or use designs for you table place cards?
You could use this one by cutting it in half for your table place cards.

To make this card i used a black card base that was about 1/8" larger than Tutti Designs - 388 Leaves Background.
The paper is key to this design.  I used We Are 3 Digital Paper - Howdy Autumn.
The pumpkin die doesn't have a background layer, so this is what i did.
I used some Distress Oxide Ink - Crackling Campfire that matched with the paper by using my blending brush and applying the ink to white card stock.  Then i cut out Tutti Designs - 720 Stacked Pumpkins from Black Glitter paper and glued it onto the paper. Next i hand cut around the outside to get this layered look.
I cut 3 banners from Tutti Designs - 214 Stitched Nesting Banners.  I layered the banners together and tied some twine around the top.  Next, i layered the leaves, banner and pumpkin on to the card.
If you wanted to make this as a place card for your table, i would create this style by using a smaller banner so that you can use half of the leaf die.  You can have it stand by putting the "card" fold at the top.
If your table setting isn't dark, you could use kraft paper or white paper. 
This style would look really nice with Buffalo Plaid.

Tutti Designs - 663 Spooky Windows for Autumn theme

Hello!  Let's see what you can create with Tutti Designs today!

Even though this owl die is from a Halloween theme, it makes a really nice Autumn card.
Of course i added a sentiment that was a bit more spooky though...

 For this card, i think the paper is key because of the colors. The dotted background paper is from We Are 3 Digital Paper - Written Word.  The brown paper is a darker kraft paper. The plaid frame is from We Are 3 Digital Paper - Autumn Flannel. The background paper behind the owl is We Are 3 Digital Paper - 
The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Stickers (Halloween)
To make this card, i die cute Tutti Designs 725 - Spiderweb Background 2 times because this is a 6 x 6" card and the die measures 5.5 x 4.  If you look close you can see i "matched" it up in the middle vertically.
The cheese cloth helped disguise the "seam" and added some fun texture.
I love the way i could mat the Tutti Designs - 663 Spooky Windows because it looks double matted when i make the outside frame opening slightly larger. I used double sided foam tape to add the framed owl to the background layers. The sentiments are stickers.
