FUN

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off nicely! I’m back this morning with the full reveal of the sneak peek I shared on Sunday! The August new release over at Artful Angel consists of Fall Fun, F is For and Extra Chromie stamp sets, and gosh they are all amazing! I was sent Fall Fun to play with and had the best time creating three projects with the cutest little red pandas you’ll ever see! My first inspiration project is a center easel card featuring a super cute little guy playing in the fall leaves!

Using the Creative Craft Products High Center Stepper Card die set, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with layering panels (using the same die set) from coordinating Stamp Anniething Autumn Life 6×6 Double-Sided Papers, and adhered them to the card base. I stamped the panda and leaves images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basis White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. Using the My Favorite Things In Stitches Alphabet Die-namics, I die cut the F-U-N letters from another patterned paper in the Autumn Life paper pack, and then adhered the letters and the images to the card front. I added Eyelet Outlet 3mm brown pearls and 4mm orange jewels, which completed the card front.

I die cut the back panels from patterned paper from the Autumn Life paper pack and Basis White cardstock, and adhered them to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Fall Fun stamp set in black ink, cut it with a double-stitched oval die, and adhered it to the panel.

And one more peek from the side so you can see the construction. Easel cards are so fun, especially with such an adorable stamp set, and I love how this turned out!

Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you had a great weekend! A new challenge launched over at UnstampaBelles last Monday and today is my showcase day on the blog! I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #95 – Paradise Pretties and Tropical Delights! The twist this month is ‘In to the Wild.’ The twist is not mandatory to play but we’d love to see your creativity and it will put you in the running for DT Favorite! And there’s a prize in the mix… a $15 AUS gift voucher… so let’s see what you got!

I created a fun tropical friendship card featuring a pile of die cuts. The white hibiscus flowers and palm tree were freebies I received with a Funkie Junkie Boutique order a while back, and the rest of the die cuts are from the American Crafts Amy Tangerine pack.

Despite all the layers, this really was an easy card. I put the die cuts where I wanted them and then adhered them down. The final touches were some simple white dots inside the F-U-N letters with a white Gelly Roll pen and the silver glitter flower stickers in the bottom right corner.

I decorated the inside with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front, along with a piece of ephemera from the Amy Tangerine pack.
