Painted Pumpkins

I hope you're having a good Thursday!  I saw this card that StampwithAmyK did and knew I wanted to share it at my class next week and with all of you.  It uses masks and blending brushes, so it's a bit different.
The different shading in the pumpkins add depth and I was surprised at how easy it was to die cut the pumpkins in groups of three.
Begin with a Basic White cardbase; emboss a 4 x 5-1/4" white card stock with Rustic Check 3D embossing folder; adhere to card front. Stamp the two groups of pumpkin images from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Cajun Craze and Golden Glow inks on a panel of Basic White card stock.
Use the Painted Pumpkins Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes to stencil the pumpkin images with Golden Glow and Petal Pink inks.  Cut the images with the coordinating Painted Pumpkins Dies.  Then I stamp the leaf images from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.
Color the leaf images with Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers and then cut them out with the coordinating Painted Pumpkins Dies.  Adher five of the pumpkins and the leaves die cuts to the card front with Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. 
Stamp the sentiment from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with the sentiment die from the Words & Wishes Dies.   Adhere the die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then added two dots from the Painted Patch Adhesive-Backed Dots to finish the card front.
Adher the remaining die cut pumpkin to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

Lazy Daisy Swiping Card

Here's a different way to use an embossing folder.  The Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder is perfect for "ink swiping" technique.  Thanks to Patty Bennett for the great idea!  The key to this method is "lightly" swipe the ink.

Begin with a piece of card stock--I used the Two-Tone Hydrangea Hue 12x12 paper.  I like the contrast of a light side and a darker side.  First, stamp the flowers from the Radiant Sunflowers in black on a 2" x 5" piece of white cardstock. Color in with Blueberry Bushel and Hydrangea Hue Blender Pens.  Lay at angle on cardstock; die cut together using the the largest new  Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies.

Then, take off the daisies and emboss just the Hydrangea Hue card stock with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. Now comes the "swiping" and remember "lightly."  First use the Hydrangea Hue ink, then the Blueberry Bushel.  You can always go darker, but not lighter.

Adhere daisies to embossed piece; then adhere to card front.  Stamp a sentiment of your choice and trim, if necessary.  Add a piece of ribbon to back of sentiment and adhere to card front with dimensionals. You're done!

Lots of Things Happening Sept 1st + Poetic Petals Card

 First of all, I'm so sorry this is getting to you on the 2nd and not the first.  Mike and I were traveling back from So Cal on Tuesday (USC game Saturday, Jamie's 5th Birthday Sunday, Tooth Cleaning Tuesday) and it was late when we finally got home!  So I'm a day late with all the September Happenings--but better late than never.

Poetic Petals Card
How often do you make a card using one color?  And make it really a non-color like Basic Beige?  This card proves that beauty comes in all colors.  Inspired by Laura Seki, this simple card has true beauty.
The textures and shapes are what make this card that can be used for any occasion.  It would be a good idea to keep some on hand....
