Welcome Autumn: House of Cards November Challenge

                 
                                              
House of Cards   November Challenge:   
Technique Challenge: Stamped Punch Window
 
 
                                            
For my card I started with this Autumn digi from Sparkle N Sprinkle, after coloring with my Copics I added some glitter to the cats and leaves (see close up below) and then on to making my punched window.  Be sure to check out House of Cards for Mynn's video on how to do this technique and each week a team member will have another video with a twist. 

Normally your paper forming the frame to your window is mounted with foam tape, my frame was too skinny or it was the embossing but it was not pretty so I cut out several windows  and glued them together to get the dimension I needed for my window. I added some sequins and an embossed Pumpkin and was good to go!

Check out the cards by the rest of the talented design team:

Cardinals


I won this adorable Cardinals image at Creative With Monika, you can purchase it at her new JCLA Etsy shop, along with many other adorable images, many with Indonesian touch.
 
I used my Copic markers to color the Cardinals, highlighted them with blue inks using my Rangers blending tool and framed them with a Tim Holtz  wood grain embossing folder with an opening  cut with an Eyelet die cut.  I can picture these making a nice Christmas card too!

Breast Cancer Teddy Bear





                                   



This darling teddy bear for breast cancer awareness is part of a digital set is by imagethat...digis by kris, it is free for the month of October with proof that you have donated funds (a minimum of $5.00) to your favorite cancer charity or organization.  I die cut a doily and butterfly, then embossed the butterfly about 5 times with clear embossing powder and then die cut two gray circles to give it the rigidity to hold my Easel Card open.  I am waiting for a new Chemo buddy so it will go to them if appropriate or a special request chemo patient.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend!

We have a friend that is an avid outdoorsman, fishing,
hunting.. and his birthday is next week, so this will

some girl stamping time, with a least a couple
overnights a year filled with crafting!
