Hello friends!  You know that Thanksgiving is getting closer and I have been working on my fall cards, so today I finished one of my Thanksgiving cards, The supplies I used are listed above, and below you will find how I made them.  I hope you will make one also, I had a lot of fun working on this card.

1. I cut out my cardstock to the size mentioned above, the beige cardstock, I die cut the border with the rectangle border dies.

2. I stamped the whole cardstock using crumb cake ink, with the leaves using the stamp from the Time of Giving stamp set.

3.  Cut out the circles, the larger circle out of the brown cardstock and the smaller one out of the beige cardstock, I glued the beige one to the brown circle, then I glued them to the beige card front and then glued them to the brown card front.

4.  I stamped a leave on the piece of cardstock that goes inside and glued it to the inside of the card.

5.  I die cut a leaf and the inside of the leaf in gold specialty cardstock using the Autumn Leaves Die set, I then glued it to the circle.

6.  Lastly, I stamped the word Thankful with VersaMark Watermark stamp  I sprinkled the word with the gold tinsel embossing powder and heat embossed it.

7. Raise it up on the card.

 

That finishes my card.  It sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn’t.

Paper Florist Flower

 

Hello, my crafty friends, I hope you're doing well on this beautiful Sunday!

This is a basic card but I will give you the measurements you need to make it if you so desire.

The card base is 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" and scored on the long side at 4 1/4".

The card mat is 4" x 5 1/4” and I cut it with the radiating stitch die using the dainty DSP.

Placed a greeting in the center and that's it.  Don't forget to glue the inside piece of cardstock and stamp a sentiment.

Spotlight Technique With Dainty Delights

Hello everyone, I tried my first time making a spotlight technique card which came out pretty good I must say.

     SUPPLIES USED:

Ø     Lilac card stock 

Ø     Medium color of Blue for the card Mat   

Ø     White card stock for stamping and coloring on

Ø     Black ink for stamping

Ø     Dainty Delight Stamp from Stampin” Up

Ø     2 and 3/8s scallop punch

Ø     Blending Brush

Ø     Balmy Blue Ink

Ø     YG06 Yellowish Green for leaves, Copic Marker

Ø     Y02 Canary Yellow, Copic Marker

Ø     Rhinestones for decorating if desired

Ø     Dimensional 

     I started with the Lilac color card base of 8 ½” by 5 ½” I then scored it in half and folded it.

Attached a 3 and ¾” by 4 and ¾” on the Lilas card base and set aside until I finished coloring the flower.

I then colored the flowers with the colors I mentioned above, I punched the center of the flower, then did some brushing with the balmy blue ink very

Lightly so not to cover the flowers too much.

Now place the flower piece on blue card mat and place the circled punch

Inside just for placement, then glue the circle to the blue card mat, add dimensional to the other piece and place on mat,

You are now done except add embellishments if desired.

This card looks a little harder than it really is.

Mountain Air

Today we are going for a breath of fresh air into the mountains.

How I started was by cutting a base card in white,

then topped it with the spruce green top then added another top of black, to bring out the black of the mountains.  I inked around the sun with pineapple punch color this is the rays of the sun. Then I stamped a sun right in the middle with so saffron.

I made a mask of the mountains and held it down so I could ink up the sky in Balmy Blue and a little bit of seaside spray, then it's time to remove the mask and stamp the beautiful mountain, then I stamped some spruce green trees. I built a reflection of the mountains by second-generation stamping and the same with the trees.

Time to ink up the ocean in balmy blue and put some seaside spray shadows. I again stamped some trees at the bottom of the card.

Glued it to the background cardstock.

This is where everything falls apart on me...LOL

measurements were cockeyed, but I continued with the card, and I thought I should show you, we are only human we all make mistakes.  So much aggravation in making this card, my hands were so filthy with all colors of ink, stamping was somewhat cockeyed, but hey it was my first attempt at making it.
