BUGABOO COLOR CHALLENGE

Happy Wednesday sweet friends!  I am stopping in today to share my 2nd card that I am submitting to the Bugaboo challenge.

(A2: Stamps:  Bugaboo (Autumn Owl), Verve (Bountiful Harvest); Dies: Spellbinders

The challenge is a color challenge using fall colors. When I went to the Bugaboo shop to purchase a digi for this challenge, I couldn’t make up my mind, so I ended up with two of them! I shared the first card yesterday and this is the other image I could not resist. I colored him with Copics and stamped the sentiment using Verve’s Bountiful Harvest set. I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a link to the challenges so you can join in the fun!

Time for a Color Challenge at Bugaboo!

DOODLE PANTRY NOVEMBER RELEASE

Hello my Doodle Pantry friends! I hope you had fun last night with all of the Trick or Treaters!

Today is the first of NOVEMBER so that means it is time for the new Doodle Pantry RELEASE and the start of the DPDC52 challenge!!!! You will want to check out all of the great sets this month, but let’s start with this one!

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (FANCY PIE – free with purchase!); Cut files: Doodle Pantry (CARD CUT PUMPKIN), flower: Silhouette Studio)

This month, I decided to try the card cut file and I’m so happy I did! I love how it turned out. I combined it with the new digi file called Fancy Pie. I used the light yellow solid and merged the pie and sentiment, sizing them for the opening. I printed two designed papers and one solid to use for cutting the card. Last, I cut a flower and added it to the top.

I hope you enjoyed my cards! Be sure to click here to see all of the new releases for this month and join us for DPDC52!

CASology117: FRUITFUL FALL

Hi dear friends. I am sharing my CASology card for this week. The cue word is CANDY: 

(A2: Stamps: Doodle Pantry (Candy Apple and Charlie Harvest)

I have been trying to post this all week, but life has been keeping me occupied. I don't know how much posting I will be able to do next week because my daughter's treatments start. 

I hope candy apples count as candy! I merged the sentiment and apple, resized the apple and then copied it and flipped it. After positioning them with the sentiment, I printed and colored with Copics. I heat embossed a couple of swirly stamps and then used Distress Ink and the emboss resist technique.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Here is a link to  the challenge in case you want to share in the fun!!! 

Week 117: CANDY

LIM192: NEVER GIVE UP

Hello crafty friends. Welcome back to In a World of Craft! I have a quick post to show you my Less is More card for this week.

(A2: Stamps:  Great Impressions (Never Give Up – A145); Dies: Spellbinders, Heartfelt Creations, Taylored Expressions)

This week we are tasked with using autumnal colors. I decided to use my DI ink and blending tool to create the paper from which I would cut the leaves. I used Copics to add a little detail in the leaves and added the GI stamp. The focal square is mounted on brown card stock and mounted on white linen. It is attached to the card base with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a link to the challenge so you can join in the fun!

Week 192 Colour Challenge: Autumn's Bounty Sounds kinda poetic doesn't it...so we'd love to see autumnal shades in your cards.

HOW’S IT GOIN’ PUNKIN'?

Hi my dear blogging friends. I have to admit I am really enjoying the Pumpkin Digital set from Doodle Pantry. This is another card using it but with the outline this time and my coloring.

  (A2; Stamps: Doodle Pantry (Pumpkin Digital Set) includes digital papers, sentiments and images; Ink: Copics )

This week’s CASology Cue Card is PUMPKIN. I decided to print the solid off-white paper for the background and a strip of the green print, but I made it more transparent so the sentiment would show up better. Once I colored the pumpkin, I fussy cut it and popped it up with foam tape over the green sentiment strip. I then adhered to a card base. I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for stopping by!

YOU’RE MY FRIEND

Hi my sweet friends! Fall is well underway now and boy am I enjoying it! Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge at Creative Knockouts where the theme is Happy Fall! Here is the card I made using the Doodle Pantry Pumpkin set that was released last month. I chose the white pumpkins because they look so elegant on this card!

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (Pumpkin) includes digital papers, images and sentiment; Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon)

This was a really simple card! I used two of the coordinating papers from the set and digitally made a border with the lighter color. I merged the double pumpkin image on the dark paper and printed. I fussy cut the single pumpkin image, cut out the sentiment and assembled by attaching the sentiment, wrapping ribbon around the panel and adding a bow, adhering the single pumpkin with foam tape and adding three pearls.

Now, your turn! Go over to Creative Knockouts and join the fun. Want to double your chance to win? Use  a Doodle Pantry image and you can join both challenges!

Happy Saturday dear friends! I have a quick fall card for you today.

  (A2; Stamps: Verve (Bountiful Harvest), Inkadinkado (swirls))

The theme this week as CASology is Harvest and at Addicted to Stamps and More it is a fall inspiration photo. I stamped the pumpkin, then masked and stamped the swirls. I colored it with Copics, stamped the sentiment and added to orange card. I used foam tape to attach to the card base. Very quick CAS card!
