Hello everyone! Today, I am sharing an Autumn card with the cutest critters at the pumpkin patch. I wanted to use non-traditional fall colors and I'm so happy that it worked out for this card. I hope you like it! To create my card, I started by cutting a 5" square panel that I ink blended with Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed with water for an oxidized effect and added white dots here and there with a white gel pen. I also cut a 4.5" square and ink blended Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink through the Leaves Background Stencil . Next, I cut the ornate die from the Fall Circles Coordinating Die in kraft cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. The images are from a previously released set, Pumpkin Patch Critters Stamp Set . I stamped them with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers . I also cut one of the images from the new Fall Circles Stamp Set .  Pu...

Hello friends! I got to play with the Penguin Agenda Stamps by Penguin Palace and I have a box card to share with you all.  To begin, I assembled the My Favorite Things Outside the Box Level Up . I then covered the background panel with scrapbook paper. The paper I used is no longer available, but I found this set that would be great for box cards. For the grass inserts, I ink blended Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks on a 1.5" x 3.5" cardstock and die cut with a grass die . I then stamped the images from the Penguin Agenda Stamps on Neenah 110lb white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I colored with Copic Sketch Markers and cut with the coordinating dies .  Penguins - C5/3/1 Pink - R32/30 Teal - BG15/13/11 Yellow - Y18/13/11 I then adhered the images on the card inserts. Next, I stamped "enjoy the little things" on the front panel of the card and added stars that I cut and glued onto acetate strips. Lastly, I cut the Happy Birthday...
