Coffee Lovers Fall Blog Hop with an Owl Card by Lexa

Hello everyone!  We are so happy to be participating in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog hop today!  You should be arriving here from Stampendous Blog or you can start from the beginning A Jillian Vance Designs.

It's Lexa here today with a card highlighting the Happy Owl-o-ween Stamps and the coordinating dies. This adorable little owl is just too cute to be true.  He can be a pirate or even turn into a princess. Today the dressed up owls are up to something...

...They are sharing some cups and hanging around together. I paired this set with an older set called Mug Hugs. Even though the size of the cups look gigantic, I still think they look good together. They each have their own favorite. I use the Stitched Scallop Borders dies on the bottom.  I think the scalloped edge looks so cute. I use a stencil with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink to create my background. I mixed a sentiment from both stamp sets to create a perfect one that goes well with the images from the card.  Some crystal clear sequins in various sizes completes my card. 

We hope you will create a coffee, tea or hot cocoa project of your own to link up HERE so you can be entered to win one of the many fabulous prizes by all the sponsors this week. Sunny Studio will be donating a $25 gift code to our online store to one lucky winner.

Autumn Greetings and Pretty Pumpkins Thank You Card with Vanessa

Hello everyone! Vanessa here with a fall themed card using Autumn Greetings and Pretty Pumpkins. I chose to create a green pumpkin with the wonderful layered stamps for a different look.

First, I trimmed a panel of checked patterned paper slightly smaller than my card base, stamped the sentiment and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. Now I stamped the leaves, hearts and swirls and added droplets of green and gold ink. After everything was dried, I adhered the panel to the card.

I stamped the pumpkin image onto white cardstock, die-cut it with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with foam tape. Finally, I added gold sequins.

I hope you like my green pumpkin! Thanks for stopping by today!

Cute As A Button and Vintage Jar Shaker Card with Amy

Hello everyone, Amy here today with a card using the new Cute As A Button stamp set, along with the Vintage Jar stamp set. I think these two pair well together to make a fun shaker card.

To begin, I die-cut a trimmed white cardstock using the Vintage Jar die to create my shaker window. I placed another trimmed white cardstock behind it, and stamped the Vintage Jar with gray ink to make the back panel, and set that aside. I then placed a heat resistant acetate behind it, and stamped the jar with Versamark ink and heat set it with silver embossing powder. I adhered this behind the front panel.

Next, I stamped the buttons and the jar lid with various dye inks. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat set white embossing powder. 

To assemble the card, I adhered the back panel to a light blue card base. I added double layers of foam adhesive around the stamped jar and all along the perimeters. After, I added some beads and buttons to the middle and closed it with the front panel.

To finish, I added a strip of pattern paper to the front panel for color and interest. I mounted the trimmed sentiment, jar lid, and buttons with foam tape, as shown. 

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Thank you for stopping by!

Missing Ewe Pretty Pastel Shaker Card with Nancy

Hey there friends, Nancy here with a closer looks at the very cute Missing Ewe stamp and steel die. I love a good pun and this one delivers. It’s sure to bring a smile to a loved one. They won’t be able to help it with this cuteness overload.

To create my card, I used a white card for the base and lined the bottom with a wide strip of patterned paper. This was my jumping point for the colors of the card. Next, I created a shaker box full of tiny stars, sequins and crystals. The jumping lamb was colored with Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke, Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar (for the cheeks). I chose a watercolor medium to keep in line with the soft look of the card. Two flags were cut out of melon colored cardstock and layered with a glittery enamel dot. 

I love the tiny script sentiment in the Missing Ewe die set. On this card, it's highlighted right in the center of the top flag. A sprinkle of sequins creates some movement in this simple design. 

Take a closer look at the Missing Ewe stamp set for all of your warm pun wishes. The intricate steel die creates a sentiment that is beautiful and really pops!
