Pumpkin Spice...Nice!

Hello!  

Here I am today, with another creation made using the adorable new release Strawberry Jude Stamps set 'Falling with Fox & Raccoon'.  What fun these little critters are, and oh my goodness, these stamps created such great, crisp images!

Here's the center step card that I made:

First, the images were all stamped and colored with alcohol markers. The sentiment and mugs were stamped on a scrap of white card stock, and trimmed for a cute banner.  After coloring everything, I fussy cut them, and added a bit of Glossy Accents to the mugs, eyes, and feet, and set aside to dry. 

I created the step card from white cardstock, and added some designer paper panels from some scraps.  Added a couple of little hills along the bottom edge, again using some scraps.  

A tree die that I had in my stash seemed perfect for a background, and perfect for all of the falling leaves.  Last, everything was adhered to the card using some glue dots and liquid glue.

Thanks again to the crew at Strawberry Jude Stamps for having me as a guest designer this month.  They were all warm, welcoming, and helpful, and I've so enjoyed working with this product! If you haven't gone to see their darling stamps, you should!

Have a great day!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Hi everyone!  I'm so happy to be guest designing for Strawberry Jude Stamps this month.  I was really excited to get this set of stamps - it's my first set of animal stamps!

I had purchased a set of stamps from Strawberry Jude about a month ago, and was very impressed with their stamping.  The image was crisp and clear, and I was eager to try another set. Again, the ink coverage was perfect!  

Here's what I made: 

This card was made using the new release set 'Falling with Fox & Racoon'. 

To begin, I colored the sweet fox and racoon images with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them.  A drop of Glossy Accents was added to their eyes, and they were set aside to dry.  Then, using some distress inks and a handmade cloud stencil, some clouds were added to the upper part of the card base. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black Ink.  I took a piece of woodgrain cardstock, and added some snips at the top, to create a cute fence, which was adhered to the card base with dimensional foam.  The last step was to add the leaves by adhering them directly to the fence, and the critters, which were popped up with some dimensional foam.

What a fun card this is - I can't make up my mind who to mail it to!  

Thanks to everyone at Strawberry Jude Stamps for the warm welcome this month!  If you haven't checked out their adorable stamps, please do so!!  I'll be back in a week or so with a fun 'spicy' creation!

Hello Sunflower...

Hi there!

Just dropping in with a very quick post.

I recently had a friend introduce me to Strawberry Jude Stamps.

Once I found them, I simply HAD to shop a bit!

I bought this sweet Hello Sunflower set, and decided to make a card for a challenge

that Strawberry Jude is sponsoring.

So, this card will be entered in the Mod Squad Challenge.

Due to the Glossy Accents on the flowers, it was difficult to get a good photo. Of the

four that I took, this was the best.  What looks like a stripe on the bottom left flower is really my reflection in the gloss!  So....if you're wondering about the dotty background,

it was born when I opened a marker, and drops flew!  Lol...it was pretty juicy. 

Anyway, I decided to go with it, and just dot up the background.  Hope you like it!

The sentiment came from a different set, as the challenge was a 'Friends' challenge, but

this set has several really cute 'Sunshine' related sentiments.

The images are colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol and Illustrator Markers:

DG2, DG3, DG4, GB 4, GB7, GB9, B01

The cardstock is Crafter's Companion Kraft, and Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth Premium White.

Hope you're having a great day! Back tomorrow with a brand new Scor-Pal project!

Take care,

Patti J.
