Joyful Stars October Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars October Blog Hop! I'm so glad you decided to join us this month.   If you are following the hop, you have arrived here from Joyce's Blog.  I have a fall card for you today.  It uses the beautiful new Huntington Paper Pack and the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  The card base is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Colonial White and the overlay (page 82 of the booklet) is cut at 4 1/2" from Barn Red cardstock.   Be sure to set your machine at "REAL DIAL SIZE" to cut all the elements for this card. Every other vertical stripe on the overlay is backed with a 1/2" piece of the large floral in the Huntington paper pack. 

 

The frame shape for the sentiment is Photo Mat 1 (shift) on page 82 cut at 2 1/2" from Colonial White. The leaves from the stamp set "Happy Autumn" (D1550) are stamped around the outer edge of the frame using Champagne and second generation Autumn Terracotta.  Stamp "Give Thanks" in Barn Red on the frame.  The frame is backed with the same shape Barn Red frame cut at 2 3/4" and mounted on the card using mounting tape.  The leaf accent (Icon, page 72) is cut using the Artbooking cartridge in Barn Red at 1" and is layered with the leaf (Icon shift, page 72) cut in Autumn Terracotta.  Highlight the leaf edges using Bronze Glitter Glitz Gel.  Allow the glitz to dry before adhering it to the card using mounting tape for added dimension.

 

Here is the same card but it uses the pumpkin as an accent.  The pumpkin and the layers are Icon and Icon shift on page 73 of the Artbooking Booklet cut at  1 1/2" from Autumn Terracotta, Goldrush and New England Ivy and then layered together.  ALL ELEMENTS FOR THIS CARD ARE CUT USING "REAL DIAL SIZE".  The top layer is Goldrush and the edges are sponged using Autumn Terracotta ink to highlight and give dimension to the edges. 

Now it is time to head on over to Nancy's Blog to see her beautiful creation - thanks so much for "HOPPING" with us today!

Joyful Stars September Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Joyful Stars September Blog Hop.  I sure hope you are enjoying all the fabulous artwork as much as I am.  You can never have too much inspiration!  If you are following the hop, you have arrived from Lori's Blog .  If you ever get lost along the way, just hop on over to Joyce's Blog where you will find the complete list of participants.

Here is a snowman card using the Frosted Paper Pack plus Crystal Blue cardstock.  I added the Crystal Blue because I liked the brighter blue with the Champagne background paper.  The snowman is from C1506 Flakey Friends. I stamped the snowman image twice in Slate and another time in Crystal Blue.  Then I cut out the scarf and hat from the Crystal Blue image and glued it to the Slate one.  I also cut out the carrot form the extra Slate image and glued that on top of the Crystal Blue one.   The puffy "snow" is Liquid Applique.  It is liquid when it comes out of the tube, then it puffs up when you heat it with your craft heater.  The card is embellished with Silver Shimmer Tape and Silver Glitter Glitz.  The card design is Card Pattern 24 from the new Close To My Heart Book, "Make It From Your Heart" Volume Two.  This is a great book with twelve brand new card patterns, 16 new double page layout patterns and 2 single page layouts.  All that for only$7.95!

Please contact me if you have any questions or need help with anything!

Now it's time to hop to  Nancy's Blog to see her creation.
