Autumn Blessing Die-Namites Challenge Inspiration

Hello, Die Lovers!!

If you haven't yet, stop on by the Die-Namite's blog and join in on our October Photo Inspiration Challenge. There is still some time to get those entries in!! The deadline is Halloween night at 11:55 EST!! So don't forget to link up!  For official rules and other details, please see the original challenge post here.

Here is this month's inspirational photo:

and here is my inspirational card...

I used Die-Namites' Pear Tree Die

Other Supplies used

Cut'n'boss (Craftwell)

Xyron Creative Station with 9" Permanent Adhesive

eBrush (Craftwell)

Thankful Stamp Set (Pink and Main)

Cardstock ( Bazzill Basics)

Patterned Paper (My Mind's Eye)

VersaFine Onyx Black (Tsukineko)

Martha Stewart Deluxe Trimmer

Martha Stewart Scoring Board

Sharpies- orange, green, brown, red

PITT Artist Pen XS (Faber-Castell)

Hemp Twine

Diamond Glaze (Judikins)

Blue Painter's Tape

2Way Glue Pen (EK Success)

 I started off by cutting a 4.5"x11" piece of cardstock and scoring it at the 5.5" and folding it in half creating an A2 sized card base.  I also cut a 4"x5.25" piece of cardstock and a 3.75"x5" piece of patterned paper to use as mats and ran them through my Xyron Creative Station.

I pieced together my card and mats. Then taped off the edges using painters tape. I airbrushed a circle of orange and yellow to the center of my card using my ebrush machine with orange and yellow Sharpies. 

I used my Die-Namites Pear Tree and cut 4 trees from cardstock and glued them together using a glue pen.

Then I ebrushed my tree using brown, green, orange, and red Sharpies. I added details using a PITT Arist Pen and Diamond Glaze on the pears and bird. I used Diamond Glaze to adhere my tree onto my card. 

Then stamped my sentiment under the tree using a Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. I used Pink and Main's "Thankful" stamp set for the "Autumn Blessings sentiment.

Here is my finished card:

I stayed with the warm autumn colors that reminded me a lot of a sunset... I love golden sunsets!! And, I love how this card turned out. It was a simple, yet elegant. A card that I could easily replicate multiples of. 

 This is such a gorgeous die and I didn't want to spoil it by adding too much fluff and frill, so I kept it simple.  I just added warm bold colors and a bit of hemp twine bow to give it an organic feel.

Happy Fall Y'all!!

Hope you enjoyed my inspirational project!

3D Flower Birthday Card

Hello Again Crafty Friends... Today I wanted to share with you all a card I made for one of the most important women in my life. My mom. For me a store bought card just won't do. 

For someone as special as she is, I needed to pour lots of love into it... it needed to come straight from my heart.

Supplies Needed

Craftwell

eBrush and Copic(CP) adapter

Teresa Collins Cut'n'Boss

Teresa Collins Pocket Dies 

( Thankful Holidays set- Lg & Sm flower,leaf, berry twig, & scalloped oval label)

Pink and Main

Happy stamp set

Stitched Greetings Stamped set

Copic

Sketch Markers (RV11, RV19, RV25, YR16, YG17)

Tsukineko/ Imagine Crafts

Versa Magic (Hint of Pesto)

Versafine (Onyx Black)

EK Success border punch (

Additional Supplies

Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Scissors

Foam Adhesive

Double-sided Adhesive

Patterned Paper 

Various Cardstock

Ribbon

With my cut'n'boss. and my Teresa Collins pocket dies I cut  out my shapes in red, green, light pink, and white card stock. A great thing about using this machine is the huge platform. I can cut a lot of dies all at once. And, with the cut'n'boss' strong motor and gears cutting through several layers at once is a breeze.

For my flower I cut 4 red flowers, 2 green leaves, 1 small light pink flower, and 3 twig & berries ( I used them for stamens). I also cut the scalloped oval out 2 times (1 copper for the frame and i white for the center label). Then I adhered them onto a separate piece of cardstock to make one solid piece. 

I stamped my Happy Birthday phrase using two stamp sets from Pink and Main called "Stitched Greetings"( for the word happy, in Versa Magic - Hint of Pesto) and"Happy"( for the word Birthday, in Versafne - Onyx Black) .

For my flower, first, I ebrushed all my red flowers with a star pattern with Copic markers RV19 and YG17. 

                      

   

I curled the end of my petals up, hot glued all flowers together alternating the pedals.

For the center of the flower I ebrushed the smaller flower in Copic Markers RV25, YR16, and YG17. I then I punched a hole in the center of the flower and set aside.The stamens I ebrushed in RV11, RV25, RV19 andYG17. 

                

I inserted my stamens into the center hole and secured them in place by hot gluing the stem from the bottom the flower.

I then hot glued this piece to the stack of red flowers.

For the leaves I ebrushed them with Copic Markers YG17 & YR16. Backed it by gluing to a piece of dark green cardstock and cut out by hand with my scissors.

   

I hot glued the leave to the under part of the flower. 

The  cardfrontwas made with a 6"x6" piece of foiled cardstock and a 1 1/4" strip of patterned  cardstock that I punched with my EK success bordderr punch and ebrushed with Copic YG17. I then wrapped with a piece of 7/8" olive green satin ribbon and attached my scalloped label with foam aadhesive for dimension. Then, I adhere this card front to a 6"x6"plain white card base I made by folding a 12"x6" piece in half.

This took a little bit of time to put together but was quite easy to do. Ebrushing all my pieces instead of shading them cut my work time down by more than half. I love this machine!

I hope this project has inspired you and thanks for stopping by!

Happy eBrushing!!

eBrush - Core'dinations Hack Edition

Hello again Crafty Friends!! Today I would like to share with you all my very first video tutorial. Well, Kind of anyway. My Good friend Debi Tullier had me as a special guest to show you all a kind of eBrush Core'dintions hack!

Please be kind! this was my first video... EVER... and I was so nervous!

In this video Debi and I discuss how to get different color combinations not currently found in Core'dinations cardstock. I used the whitewash family of papers to do this technique. I did this so that When the color goes down over the cardstock it does blend or fight with the base color to be seen. And, also to do the color blending technique you need that white base to see the blends of the colors atop the base color. This video is a bit lengthy!

You can also make your own faux core'dination paper doing this same technique using a nice & thick, good quality, cardstock.

Here I have the samples from the video with out the glare from the web cam and under my daylight lamps. 

As you can see the colors are much more vibrant.

       

 

I didn't sand enough of the top layer off of the pear tag. But, if you look at the lower right hand pear you can really see the yellow on the green. I think the yellow was too close to the lightest green to really make a huge difference.

I hope you enjoyed my first video tutorial and I hope you give this technique a try. I would love to see your color combinations you come up with so please post them here or on the eBrush fan page!

Thanks for stopping by!
