ICS Blog Hop - Fall Fun


Hello and Welcome to Inspire, Create & Share's Fall Fun Blog Hop!  If you have already been hopping, you should have landed here from the awesome blog of Joni Metras and I would like to thank you for continuing on!  If you've started here, please make sure you click the Next button at the end of the post for some awesome Inspiration by our Bloggers!


I decided to use my Cookie Cutter Halloween set for this card but I wanted a field of grain for my scarecrow to stand in and of course, he needed a pole!  For my grain, I used one of the stamps from Jar of Love and stamped it in Delightful Dijon both in full color and in second generation stamping.  I also alternated stamping on and off the cardstock so that it was different heights.  After stamping, I sponged some Daffodil Delight Ink onto the bottom portion of my Whisper White layer.  I also sponged some Soft Sky Ink onto the top portion of this layer lightly in the middle and darker around the edges.  I made my pole by stamping the woodgrain from the Timeless Textures stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto Crumb Cake Cardstock.  I then cut a strip at about 1/4" wide x 3" long for the pole  .  I adhered it to my stamped layer with fast fuse.  I stamped my Scarecrow and Bird onto Watercolor Paper with Black Archival Ink. I then watercolored the scarecrow with Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Dijon, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie ink. I punched him out with the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  I fussy cut the bird and then attached them both with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from Acorny Thank You in Black Archival Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and cut it out with the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies.  I sponged the edges of it with Daffodil Delight Ink and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals as well.

SIP Challenge #62 - Sketch with Cookie Cutter Halloween

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Of course since it's Tuesday it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!  I love this week's sketch, what do you think of it? 

As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to either have a sun or moon as the big circle.  Since Halloween is coming up and I have lots of granddaughters to make cards for, why not make a huge moon and break in this awesome new Cookie Cutter Halloween Stamp Set and the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch!


I have to tell you that there is an awesome die set that would have made a much spookier tree and an awesome spooky fence.. note to self, I NEED that set!  lol  But for now, I used the tree from the limited die set that is available this month only called Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  I absolutely adore this set and see so many awesome uses for it.  I really hope it makes it into the next Annual Catalog!  So on to my card, I used an Elegant Eggplant cardbase that measured 11" x 4 1/4" and was scored at 5 1/2" for a top folding card.  I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Basic Black.  Next on a 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" piece of Elegant Eggplant, I stamped the Watercolor Wash stamp tone-on-tone with Elegant Eggplant Ink.  I then die cut a circle into that towards the middle of the bottom of the card.  On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the same Watercolor Wash stamp but this time I stamped it with Smoky Slate Ink.  I then glued that to the back of the top layer of purple by using fast fuse just around the edges.  The adorable little bats are from the same Cookie Cutter Halloween set and were stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink onto the moon.   I cut my tree in Basic Black and used my fine tip glue to attach it to the front of the card.  I then attached that layer onto my card front.  Next on more scrap Whisper White I stamped the two Cookie Cutter Halloween images with Black Archival Ink.  I colored in the purple of the Dracula with  purple markers... in retrospect, maybe I should have used red for a pop of another color.  After punching out my images with the new Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  I used Dimensionals to pop them up.  The sentiment was from a retired Stamp Set from last year's Holiday Catalog.  So, another note to self, I need current Halloween sentiments. lol  I do love how it turned out.  Super cute I think.  I'm sure one of our 6 granddaughters will love it.  Now 5 more cards to make, or maybe just 4 since one of our granddaughters is just 2 months old.. lol  

Hope you have a wonderful day!  Thanks for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
