JDS-Autumn Leaves

  Time for another challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps.  I went with Autumn Leaves 

this week,  it has a lot of lovely images but I was drawn to the

sentiment below which is one of my favorite:

 

 

I made a notepad holder that highlighted the sentiment, I used

a fallish patterned paper and printed the sentiment on

vellum and quickly covered it with Trandescent Embossing

powder.  I added some adhesives for decoration.

Welcome Baby

 

I had both of these cards made and ready to go weeks ago awaiting the birth

of our newest grandchild and got to use one last week.  I made the letters on

my Scan N Cut cutting out several layers, the block die is a nesting

eyelet die with the center cut out and is also a few layers.  Hello baby 

is a Stampin Up sentiment.  Patterned papers by Bo Bunny.  I used the

top card for our new grandson!

JDS, Fresh from the Farm

 

  I went with Jan's pre-printed images from her Fresh From the 

Farm set and arranged several of them on the computer

before printing.  I cut them out with my Scan N Cut.  I cut

the sentiment out with  a die.  I layered two coordinating

patterned papers by Photo Play: Mad Plaid Fall and

then embossed them together for the look above.

Tuxedo Card

 

I made my first Tuxedo card for a dear friends birthday.  I was quite happy

with how it turned out.  I gave cutting it out one try and called my hubby 

to take over for me.  I may try it again for someone very special but it

was one of the more complicated fun folds I have made. Papers are

by stamping up.  Flowers by MFT, Mouse and sentiments  

by Lawn Fawn. Unsure who the happy birthday die is by.

 Time for a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamp Challenge. I am using

Background is stenciled with Catherine Pooler's Loop Braid 

stencil.  My shaker is created with numerous die cuts of

Stitched Circles by Lawn Fawn glued together with

acetate below the top layer.  Miscellaneous sequins

from my stash.  Images colored with Copics. 

Join the challenge and see what my talented team mates have created here.

Summer Sampler

 

 

 

I did a summer sampler swap with 8 talented ladies and just got

it hung on the wall, it was on a shelf but I wanted it displayed where

it was more visible.   Mine is the flower with the lady bugs. The 

talented ladies that have blogs are: Patti, Shirley, Vicki and

Sally.  I'm looking forward to our fall and winter swap.

Have a good day!

Spanner Panel Card

 Mrs. A has a fun tutorial on her challenge this month for a  Spanner  Panel

Card and I just had to try this new to me fun fold. 

 Closed:

 

First opening:

 

 

 

 Completely open:

 

The directions were actually quite easy to follow, just took a little time. I had this panel 

already colored and in my snippet pile for years and it fit the colors for the 

challenge. I added patterned paper from Honey Bee -pretty close to a stripe, and

it matched my image,  a few die cuts and it is complete, just waiting for the

perfect sentiment when I am ready to mail it.
