Happy Thanksgiving- Farm Harvest Card

Hello, Friends!! I'm back with Team Pink with another adorable project! 

I am so glad that the summer heat is dying down. It hasn't gone down that much here in Texas and we still have weather in the low to mid 90's but that is far cooler than the nasty 114-118 temps we've had during the height of summer... Um, Thanks but NO THANKS... I think I'll stay my behind inside!

By next month for sure, we should feel a significant temperature drop. And then HELLLOOOO Fall!!

Then we know what that means... it's time to prep for the one day it's acceptable to gorge till we pass out! THANKSGIVING!! YES!!

And because of this occasion, I decided to make this adorable Scarecrow Farm Harvest card.

Pink & Main Supplies Used

   

Scarecrows

Scarecrows Dies 

Turkey Day

   

Pumpkin Spice 6x6 Paper Pad 

Take Flight 6x6 Paper Pad

Other Supplies Used

Eileen Hull House Pocket Die (Sizzix)

Mega Runner (Xyron)

Black Cardstock (Recollections)

Happy Day Stack (DCWV)

Mixed Media Paper (Strathmore)

VersaFine Ony Black Ink (Tsukineko/ Imagine Crafts)

Tim Holtz Distress Markers (Ranger)

White Pigment Ink
Polka Dot Satin Ribbon

I made a 6x6 card using the brown plaid paper from Pink and Main's Pumpkin Spice and the blue cloud patterned paper from the Take Flight paper pad.

Paper Measurements

Brown Plaid: 6" x 6"

Black Cardstock: 5-5/8"x  5-5/8"

Cloud Pattern: 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Green Strip: 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" 

 I used Eileen Hull's House Pocket die to create the little barn in the background.  I just added 2 doors instead of one and I cut 1/8" strip from white cardstock and formed X's over the front and layered them on white rectangles that were 1/8" bigger than the doors. Then use o small window laid sideways for the top window the barn.

I attached the barn onto the front of the card using my Mega Runner. Then layered my stamped images in front. First applied the corn stalks then added the scarecrows on top, adding foam adhesive to the backs for added dimension. Then I topped off with a row of pumpkins, again adding foam to the backs for even more dimension.

Lastly, I adhered the whole card front to a 6"x6" mustard yellow card base. Then stamped the phrase Happy Thanksgiving from the Turkey Day Stamp set onto the barn using white pigment ink.

And here is the finished card...

And then... at the very last minute, even after all the picture taking was done, I decided to add a bow... LOL hahaha, I love where creativity takes me!

 Hope you enjoyed this card... and the newfound fall weather!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!

Supplies Used

 

Too Cool (Pink and Main)

Hello Sweet (Pink and Main)

 

Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies (Pink and Main)

Sweet Dies (Pink and Main)

   

Shades Of Spring Paper Pad (Pink and Main)

I started by stamping my image with archival black ink onto mixed media paper. Then I colored the image with distress markers and blended out with a water brush.

I die cut two stitched rectangles from patterned paper. I used pink polka-dot from the Shades Of Spring Paper Pad and the black with turquoise hearts from the Spring Color Pop Paper Pad.

I used a 2-1/2" wide piece of chipboard laid it at a diagonal to trace around the sides. Then cut out the diagonal strip.

I used my Xyron Mega Runner to attach the strip to the front of the remaining stitched rectangle.

I attached foam adhesive to the back of the panda to add dimension and applied him to my card front.

I die cut 2 sets (both word and shadow) of the word Sweet from the Sweet Dies set. One in White cardstock and one from the same polka-dot pink paper from earlier.

I placed the pink word into the white shadow and glued it onto the black diagonal strip.

Then used my Xyron Mega Runner and attached my card front onto an A2 sized card made from black cardstock.

Then stamped the words "you're so" from the Hello Sweet stamp set in black ink.

And here is my finished card...

Koala-ty Friend

Hello Crafty Friends!

I'm back with Team Pink, to share a quick and super easy, yet totally cute koala card!!

Supplies Used

 

Koalaty Friend

Koalaty Friend Dies

Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies

Stitched Circle Dies

Stitched Greeting Dies

Be Brave 6x6 Paper Pad

Additional Supplies Used

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink (Tsukineko/ Imagine Crafts)

Light Blue Rhinestones 

Foam Tape

I started by stamping my image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto 140 lb Mixed Media Paper.

I colored my images using Tim Holtz Distress markers and blended out the color with a water brush. I sped up drying time with a heat tool and added additional shading by going back over it with more coloring.

Then die cut my image out with the matching Koalaty Friend Dies.

I made my card front by die cutting paper from the Be Brave 6x6 Paper Pad with the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies. 

Then die cut a window from the card front with a circle the Stitched Circle Dies.

On the backside, I used my Mega Runner to apply adhesive around the window and then attached a sheet of light blue tulle to the back.

I attached  my koala to the front of the tulle window, then attached foam tape to the backside.

I cut an oval label using the Stitched Greetings Dies from white cardstock. Then stamped my sentiment using more black ink. Then used more foam tape behind the label to pop it up off the card front.

I attached blue rhinestones onto the tulle and label for a little bling.

Then attached the card front to a A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card base made from light blue cardstock.

And here is my finished card...

I hope you enjoyed my card for the day!

Happy card making Everyone!!!

Be Brave

Hello Crafty Friends,

I'm here with #TeamPINK.. to show you my newest card featuring a new stamp set from Pink and Main thaat  has me feeling pretty adventurous!! If you crave a it of adventure or just like letting your wild side free, you'll love this new April Release called My Tribe! I'm having tons of fun with these little cuties... just see how I made this card down below.

I started by stamping the little tribal boy and girl out in black archival ink onto mixed media paper.

I colored my images with Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Hickory Smoke, and crushed Olive.

Then, I used the coordinating dies to cut out my images.

I absolutely love the new Be Brave 6x6 Paper Pad!! And in all honestly, I think this pad was made specifically to coordinate with this set (but don't quote me on that! LOL), It has lots of geometric shapes, arrows, and feathers... so fun, right??!! And I love love love the color palette! I just had to pair the two together!

For the card base I cut two coordinating papers from the paper pad using the largest rectangle from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies. 

Then took one of those rectangles and used it to cut a semi circle using the Stitched Circles Dies. this way I had a semi-circle with the stitched lines going around the curved edge as well as along the straight edge bottom.

I cut another rectangle but this time just a 1.5" wide fraction of it and attached it using my Xyron Mega Runner along the bottom of the full sized rectangle cut-out. 

Then, stamped the bottom right corner with the sentiment "be brave" in more black ink.

I centered the semi circle just right above the short strip, attaching with more adhesive tape. Then ran the entire card front through my Creative Station Lite.

I attached the card front onto a A2 sized (4.25" x 5.5"- folded ) card made from Corrugate cardstock.

Lastly, I stamped out these feathers and colored them with distress markers. Then cut them out with the coordinating die. I  bundled them together with a small piece of twine and tied it into a bow. Then I attached them to the lower left hand side of my card.

And here is my finished card...
