Stamp Fairy - Mimi Falltime

Happy Saturday!

Today, I am a guest designer at My Sherri Crafts.  How cool is that?  I was the winner of the apple or pumpkin challenge last week.  The new challenge at My Sheri Crafts is Fall colors with 3 embellishments.

I used an image from Stamp Fairy called Mimi Falltime.  I just found this digi site last week and fell in love with all the cute images.  I thought she would be perfect for this challenge.  I just love the movement in this image - her blowing dress, hair and leaves.  

The patterned papers are Simple Stories "Take a Hike".  Her dress is paper pieced.  And I used a sketch #169 from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

PaperTrey Ink - Autumn Hills

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have two similar cards using a PaperTrey Ink set - Autumn Hills.  This is the October card for the home-bound ministry that went out this week.  A simple card that was easy to mass produce.  So much so I made some birthday cards too.  Love when that happens - a design can be used for multiple occasions this month and into the next.

The blue block background is an old TAC set "Background Builders", which had solid block squares, rectangles and circles - perfect for the blue sky.  I used PTI "Spring Rain" ink.

The tree and sentiment (both) are from Autumn Hills and stamped using PTI "Dark Chocolate" ink.  I colored the leaves of the tree with scarlet red colored pencil.

The hill was created with a PTI die "In the Meadow" and Ivy Bazzill cardstock.  The base card for the first card is PTI Kraft and this one is PTI "Spring Rain".  The woodgrain paper is from A|Muse.

Supplies -- 

Images: PTI Autumn Hills, TAC Background Builders

Patterned Paper: A|Muse woodgrain 

Cardstock: PTI White, Kraft, Spring Rain, Bazzill Ivy

Little Miss Muffet: Celeste Fairy

Happy Thursday!

There is a new release today at Little Miss Muffet - new Halloween themed digis and a brand new banner die too!  This is Celeste Amberglow Fairy by Pollycraft.  She is a sweet fairy princess.  The patterned papers are from Fancy Pants "Childish Things".  I thought this paper was perfect with the castle and frog prince (see second card).

The Party Banner is a new die released today, I thought it went perfect with this image carrying through the hearts and stars.  The cardstock for the banner is a linen texture ivory. The colored hearts and stars are the cut outs I colored with Copic markers and set back into the banner.

I have a sneak peek card for this banner that was posted Tuesday, using Paprika as Raggedy Ann.  See it HERE in case you missed that post.

This is a layered image. I printed out the image twice, colored the background on the base image, colored the image of the second, cut it out and layered it on the base image.

This next card is actually the first card layout I made.  When I sketched this layout I had the flower paper in front but that blocked the castle and frog so I put it behind.  Then, I could not get the banner to work.  It was late.  The next morning {after I took these pictures} I realized that if I switched the papers and was able to use the banner I created.  Anyway, I like the frog in this one.     

I stole the colored and matted image from this card and put it on the new layout with the banner at the top of the post. 

I added some sparkle to the crown, star, wings and tutu skirt with Spica pens.  This picture shows the sparkle the best.

Supplies --
