Autumn Foiled Leaves

A new Anything Goes challenge starts today at 
Dies R Us
and I once again kept within the Fall theme.

I foiled the Tutti Designs  Leaves Background using transfer sheets
and a hot foil machine.
I also used Sue Wilson Sunflower Bouquet and Karen Burniston Autumn Word Set.
The flowers were colored in with Copics.

The second picture really picks up the beauty of the shimmer of the foil.

Dies R Us now has a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts.  

It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!

Two Old Bats November Mid Month Reminder

Well, the Two Old Bats have a mid month reminder that
there are just a couple of weeks left for our November challenge!

We have the fun mood board below to give you a few ideas!
I usually try to come up with something myself using the 
mood board, only because then I don't have to push my brain too much...hah!

I did let the brooms inspire me this month
and created a slimline card, however it was nothing like I had planned
but it still worked out!
I was going to let the bottom left corner inspire me
and had planned on stamping three brooms all in different colors,
that is until I pulled out the broom stamp and discovered it is much
larger then I had remembered!

 Inspiration Board

 I ended up with just one stamped broom, some designer paper
and a sentiment I recently purchased from Simon Says.
The stars below the broom are part of the same broom stamp
and stamped in purple though you can't tell,
The kitty is a Martha Stewart punch, yah, I actually used one of my punches!

We  invite you to join us at our year round
Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
with your boo-tiful creations!

Just A Few Of My Favorite Things

 I caught myself up to Day 2 of the Coffee Lovers blog hop
and hopefully will have my Day 3 card tomorrow, in fact I wish they would limit
one entry per day per person that seems reasonable to me.

For my card I used the cute little bird in a coffee cup image from a
sale I hit last year at Pink Fresh Studio.  It's a real cute set but have to admit
I purchased all because of this sweet bird!
The sentiment is from the same set , it comes with a cute little bird in a hat too!

Hug In A Mug

Today I am joining in the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
I have been wanting to join since it started but something always
seemed to get in the way, so this time I told myself I would enter once a day,
that being said I am already a day behind!

 

For my card I used a super cute set I won from Jillian Vance 'A Hug In A Mug',
This is the cutest set, loaded with fun stamps to put on the mug
as well as lots of fun coffee sentiments!

The pretty paper in the background is Carta Bella Hello Autumn
cut with a Spellbinders die.
The image was watercolored with Tombow Markers.

They have a ton of super sponsors, so why not join in too?
You can read all about it HERE!

Give Thanks

A new challenge theme starts today at 
The Sisterhood of Crafters
and the theme was chosen by our 'sistah' Birgit.
She has chosen 'GIVE THANKS', rather perfect for
November don't you think? 

I started with a brown card base for my card,
getting me out of the ordinary white card stock I usually use.

I stenciled an Altenew stencil 'Castle Motifs' with
Altenew ink Vanilla Cream.

The image is Altenew Autumn Bounty as is the die
I used to cut it with.
The sentiment is from the same set and stamped with
Altenew ink Almond Butter.

The image was colored in with various Copics!

I invite you to visit The Sisterhood and see all the pretty
and amazing creations from my 'sistahs' and while
there why don't you join in with us!!!

Entering the following challenges:
Crafting Happiness Challenge .... Thankful for November 
Crafty Gals Corner .... Thank you/Thankful
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge .... Thanks/Thanksgiving

(I was inspired by the theme and the clean and layered design)

Guest Designing At Word Art Wednesday

 Hello All!
Today I have the honor of Guest Designing at the 
Word Art Wednesday challenge
and this is my card I created!

I used a stenciled background I had already done from my stash
along with a few other already die cut pieces!

With the Bible verse sent to me it made a very easy card to construct!

Why not pop on over to the Word Art Wednesday blog to see

all the designs from the team, I am sure they would love to have you join them!

Thank you Karen and Team for having me guest design this month!

Farmhouse Plaid

Hello friends, it's that time again for  another anything goes
challenge at Peace On Earth!

We have a fun Farmhouse Mood Board for inspiration
and you can choose to use it or not
just  as long as it's Christmas themed.

As usual I let the mood board inspire me as I have a love for the farmhouse look
and have some of it in my own home for Christmas.

I used the top tight corner and then added the red cardinal from the top left
for a pop of color!

The hills I cut were from a Lawn Fawn die, the trees and cardinal
from Impression Obsession and the papers from Echo Park Lumberjack.
The card is a mini slimline, so fun and quick to make!

Won't you join us at Peace On Earth, we would love to see YOUR creations!
