Welcome! Happy Saturday, and thanks for stopping by to see my card featuring the CottageCutz Woodland Animals Stamps. I love the little animals in this stamp set; they are so adorable. My card today showcases the fox. He is in the hollow of a tree that I drew using copic sketch markers.
1 Peter 2:17
“Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.”
I have for you today a card I made using the Polished Stone Technique with a twist! The method used for this card is easier and faster than the normal Polish Stone Technique. You can view this POST for instructions on the normal Polish Stone Technique.
1 Peter 2:9
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
Have you seen the Hero Arts Paper Layering Sunflower dies? They create such a beautiful sunflower. I have several sunflower stamps and dies, but this one is my favorite. I created this card for Lori’s Splitcoaststampers’ Falliday Fest Challenge, FF17StampMommaA. Her challenge was to create a card with a sentiment of “blessings”!
Proverbs 16:18
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Hello, my friends! I had to take another break from Irma cleanup to make this CottageCutz Autumn Card. My driveway is half full of debris from the storm, and it has yet to be picked up by the county. I’m trying to be patient, but gee, it has been close to a month! I’m sure they are working as fast as possible as there was a lot of damage in my county. I just want to see a clean driveway!! On to the card.
I did not know where to begin to create my card, so I decided to use two Splitcoaststampers.com challenges. One is this week’s Clean and Simple challenge, “Pumpkin Time”, and the other the Color Challenge, “A Peach Twist with Espresso”.
The “Pumpkin Time” challenge is to “show your take on a pumpkin theme”. The color challenge included three Stampin’ Up! colors:
I have made 30 cards and some projects for the Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fest Challenges, and I plan to post a few at a time. The Splitcoastsampers Falliday Fest Challenges include creating 30 cards and 10 projects following supplied tutorials. There will be little details shared here on some projects; therefore, and if you want to CASE a card or project, please feel free to leave a comment asking for the details and I’ll get them to you. Here we go:
1. FF16punchboardpumpkin
This pumpkin box is for the SCS Falliday Fest Tutorial #1 to create a pumpkin box.
Using the SU Score Board, I scored, cut, and assembled the box and covered the four sides with an orange card stock that was embossed with the SU Woodgrain EF that I covered with Pumpkin Pie Ink. I then sponged Pumpkin Pie Ink on the four corners of the box.
Not having any burlap ribbon, I used SU Crumb Cake Seam Binding to form the stem for the pumpkin. I rolled and glued, rolled and glued, and rolled and glued the binding until I had 2″ for the stem. I manipulated the top to curve it somewhat to the right. I then adhered it to the box top.
Using a leaf die, I cut and colored three types of leaves, and embossed and added them to the box top. I also added two mini holiday greens within the leaves.
I cut three thin strips of crumb cake card stock, selectively added crumb cake and emerald envy ink, and twirled them with a quilling tool. I added these to the box top.
I made a multiple loop bow with two SU ribbons and added it to the box top.

Lori Craig (stamp_momma), a host for a Falliday Fest Challenge, asked participants to create a thanksgiving card and include wheat in the image. This card is my submission to her challenge.
I had to search for a wheat related stamp, and this is the only one I found among my many stamps. It is from a retired SU Always Thankful Stamp Set, and it’s the first time I’ve used it. I colored the image with copics.
I used the Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight Dies to cut out the image and cut a frame for the image from polka dots DSP. I added my sentiment which is a stamp, Harvest Of, and die cut, Blessings, from ODBD.

This card is my submission to Lydia (UnderstandBlue) Falliday Fest Challenge (FF16UnderstandBlueA) to make a card with the brilliant colors of a New York fall AND include print – newsprint, book pages, or text. The following photo was my inspiration.
To qualify for the challenge, I added a small piece of “newsprint” regarding NY. The fence was inspired by the above mentioned photo. The fall tree had no leaves, so I cut a piece of a mini stamp from a SU Happy Seasons fall tree stamp and stamped leaves on the tree and grass. I had to stamp the leaves probably a hundred times! {sore arm today}
Stamps: SU Forever Young and SU Happy Seasons
Paper: Solar White, Autumn Spice DSP, SU Newsprint DSP, and SU Orange Card Stock
Ink: Fall Colors of SU Markers and Copics
Accessories: IO Fence Dies, Foam Tape
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7
Hello, my friends!! Thanks for stopping by! It has been over two weeks since I last posted as I have been participating in a Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fest 2016. I will share more on that in my next several posts. Today’s card share is a response to a Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge. The talented Mary (MaryR917) hosted the color challenge, CC603, “Real Honey w/ a Crazy Olive Twist”. The colors she chose are Stampin’ Up!’s Real Red, Hello Honey, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, and Tangelo Twist. My card for the challenge features the Lawn Fawn Happy Harvest Dies.
My card is a Center Step Card. I used all five of the colors, blending them where needed. I added another color, blue, for the sky. I initially planned to only have the scene on the middle section of the step card. But after finishing the image, I decided to extend it to both sides. That was a difficult challenge, but I carefully laid two pieces of white card stock together, did some measuring to determine where each color started and stopped, and then began sponging on colors. I think I matched it up nicely!
A tutorial for a Center Step card is on my site HERE. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
