Hi Everyone,
I can hardly believe that it's September. Even though we haven't gone anywhere this summer and the days felt long, now that we're heading into fall, I feel like the time has flown! The cooler night time temperatures this past weekend, really put me in the mood for some card making. I even snuck in some snow on my first card. DRS Designs has some new fall stamps on the way this week, and I'm excited to give you a peek!
A couple of the new 2 in 1 stamps allow you to be creative and stamp a whole scene. I always need to give myself a pep talk before I start this type of project, but it was so easy to get great results. If I can do it, anyone can!
I began by stamping the mountains and then the tree line below it. Next I stamped the Log Cabin, fence and filled in using the little bare trees. After coloring in everything, I made a mask for the house and stamped the the grass portion, finishing it up with some glitter and the greeting.
Here is the list of stamps used:
Mountain & Tree Line 2 in 1 Scene (045P)
River Rocks & Fence Line 2 in 1 Scene (087P)
This card is right in my usual comfort zone. One image, one sentiment and a layout of my choice :)
I dry embossed the base with a leaf embossing folder (Darice) and stamped a border using the
Polka Dot Background. I stamped it once in brown ink, and then used my stamp-a-ma-jig and lined up the green dots in between the spaces and stamped again, for a slightly different look. After stamping and coloring the new Sunflower Bucket (062F), I fussy cut it and attached it to a die cut. I stamped the Thanks Be to God Greeting and layered that up using my punches.
Before I attached the greeting and image, I wrapped the background in a gauzy ribbon to finish it off.
I hope this has got your fall cardmaking mojo going. Be sure to check in here all week for more sneak peaks, of the new seasonal stamps! Have a great day...
Karin
