County Fair

 

The county fair is always such a fun time, I try to get some fun pictures each year for  the kids scrapbooks, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  This year I was able to get a couple good ones and put together pages for each child.  

 

I had some leftover stamped and die cut Perfectly Preserved images that I thought went well with the theme and added some Typeset specialty paper and some sewing as well. 

 

The sewing is a new thing for me and it was fun to play with a little without getting too technical. 

 

Supplies:

Perfectly Preserved

Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Basic Gray ink

Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Smoky Slate card stock

Typeset specialty paper

 

Just for you

 

I am working on some craft show items right now for the only show I do each year.  These jars have been a pretty good hit in the past so I am making a few again with different types of candies in each one.

 

 

There is Orchard Harvest dsp around the jar and a labels framelit that has been embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.

 

The wrapping around the jar is a piece of tulle, I tried that instead of linen thread this time. 

 

If you make any of these, I recommend sticky strip to hold it to the glass and together, it works great! 

 

The flowers are More Mustard, Raspberry Ripple and Island Indigo and my jar is Crumb Cake. 

Stepped up card

This is basically the same card that I shared with you yesterday, but I stepped it up just a little bit adding a few more elements.

 

 

There is a Labels collection framelit that has been embossed with the Striped folder on the left side and a strip of More Mustard card stock that I ran through the Big Shot with the adorning accents edgelits on the right. 

 

Finally a brushed bronze button with linen thread through it and a change of base color to make the card just a little bit different.

Fall thank you

This is really a quick and simple card to put together.  I did not cut out the jar on this one, only one of the flowers and I used the smallest oval punch for the thank you. 

 

 

There is some ink splatter on the Very Vanilla piece that I created with the color spritzer tool.

 

 

Just for You

It seems I am addicted to this stamp set and the colors in the Orchard Harvest designer series paper.  Hopefully I don't overload you with samples!

 

 

For this one, I added some Bashful Blue with an Aqua Painter to the jar so it looks like there is water inside for the flowers. 

 

Supplies:

Perfectly Preserved

Orchard Harvest dsp

Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso, Island Indigo card stock

Basic Gray, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard and Island Indigo classic ink

September Stamp Club

These are the projects we had for Stamp Club this month.  The layout uses the Storytime designer series paper although I didn't use any of the images since I try to make the layouts fairly generic.

 

 

 

Another card using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and Orchard harvest designer series paper.

 

And a baby card using the Patio Party designer series paper,  Doilies stamp set and Baby Prints stamp set. (sorry about the blur on this one!)

Orchard Harvest Decor

Our Late Night Stampers challenge this week is Fall projects and I decided to go with some decor instead of a card.  The base of this is a 11 x 14 canvas and I wrapped some ribbon around the edges using sticky strip.

 

 

The squares are the large ones from the scallop squares duo die.

 

 

I used some neutrals and regals buttons and a retired big button along with some textures and shapes cut out using the Labels collection framelits and apothecary accents framelits.  I used were Chevron, Fancy Fan and Vintage Wallpaper.

 

The sentiments are from Harvest Blessings.

 

Have a great day!

August Stamp Camp Projects

Yesterday's Stamp Camp was lots of fun and I wanted to share the projects with you.  The first one was created by Lisa, I added the card stock and another layer of dsp to the back of mine along with the 3 dahlias, but isn't this just the cutest thing!

 

 

She had some candy corn and cello bags to go in them and had a little hand sanitizer in hers as a sample.  I had a candy corn one at home so I had to add it to the picture :)

 

 

 

I had two cards for my part of the camp, the first one using the Googly Ghouls stamp set and googlie eyes.  I used the Spider Web folder and the sanding system for the background.

 

The second card uses some fabric and I have made a few like this before that I have posted.  I use a piece of the multipurpose adhesive sheets to attach it to the card stock. 

 

There is also a strip of fabric in the button.

 

It was a great morning, you can see in the background I had a little helper today.  She always love to come stamping with me and socializes with everyone!

Preserved for You

I love this collection of items from the Holiday Mini catalog...I seem like I have a creative block when I go to use it most of the time though.  This is what I came up with one day...

I used the Orchard Harvest designer series paper (love these colors!) along with the Perfectly Preserved Bundle (stamp set and framelits). 

I added some cotton ribbon that I cut the sides off and pulled some threads out of and a vintage trinket or two to complete the card.
