Happy Fall!

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday – hope you are looking forward to a great weekend… it’s almost here! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #138 – Fall Back! I used a pretty Power Poppy digital image to create this Fall card.

I cut a yellow panel for the background and layered it on light orange cardstock. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, trimmed it down and layered it on the light orange cardstock. I die cut a pretty doily, cut it in half and arranged each half behind the focal image. I used some Glossy Accents on the centers of most of the flowers. The Power Poppy digital image included two sentiments, so I used the ‘Happy Fall’ one on the front angled over the focal image.

I printed the inside sentiment on white cardstock, trimmed the panel and embellished it with leftover strips of the cardstock used on the front.

Here’s one more look… I’m really loving how this turned out!

Hummingbird Food Cannister

Hello, crafty peeps! Happy Thursday – it’s almost the weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #51 – October Anything Goes! I recycled/upcycled an empty Coffee Mate container into a hummingbird food canister. It was a super easy project and kept that container out of the landfill! ;)

I began by gathering my supplies – some pretty papers, botanical ephemera, alphabet letters and flat-back pearls. I covered the container in red woodgrain paper and added some Washi Tape to the sides. I then traced around the lid and fussy cut a circle from black paper slightly smaller that fit into the recess on the top of the lid. I added a large piece of botanical ephemera to the top of the lid and some flat-back pearls. I spelled out ‘hummingbird food’ on the canister with the alphabet letters and finished it up with a few more flat-back pearls.

Round objects are always hard to photograph, lol, so here are individual shots from different angles…

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics paper pad, The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn paper pad
Accessories: Empty Coffee Mate container, Tim Holtz idea-ology botanical layers ephemera, American Crafts Memo Thickers, Carpe Diem Planner Washi Tape, Want2Scrap red and black flat-back pearls

I hope you’ve enjoyed this recycled/upcycled project and will link up an ‘anything goes’ project with us this month! We’d love to see what you’re working on! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you again soon! ;)

Scrappy hugs,
