Pearly Sparkles October Challenge ~ Autumn or Halloween

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to October and the newest challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
This month we are celebrating Autumn(fall) or Halloween.I chose to create some fall/Thanksgiving cards using some fun products from Jaded Blossom.

Using Jaded Blossom Triangle Card Mat dies provides enough die cuts for two cards.  The papers are from Authentique, one of my favorite companies.

I hope you'll play along with us this month.

Grateful

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my turn to share on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

I watched a Jennifer McGuire video showing how to make an easy pop-up frame card and have been trying out a few designs.  Today I'm sharing a pop-up frame shaker card using a stenciled background.

Jaded Blossom products used:

Sunflower Stencil (inked with Distress Oxides)

Stitched Oval Dies

Scallop Oval Dies

Fall Dies

Thankful Acorn with Outline Dies

This is such a fun technique which provides some great dimension but easily folds flat for mailing.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Cut it Up challenge #212 ~ Happy Thanksgiving creating a Box or Bag

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for another Cut it Up Challenge.We're beginning to think about Thanksgiving and for this challenge we'd like to see your box or bag ideas.
Digital Delights by Louby Loo has been one of our sponsors for several years and Wendy provided this  digital image for our team to use.  Alas, after many years of having her online store, blog, and challenges, she has moved on to other crafty endeavors.  Although the Digital Delights website has closed down she did provide us with 2 images to offer as prizes so we hope you'll still play along with this challenge.
Here's my favor bag using the Digital Delights image printed on Neenah Desert Sand paper and colored using Copic Markers.

I used Jaded Blossom's Goodie Bag Die and Bow Dies to make my favor box.

Please follow the link above to see more challenge projects from the design team and to add your link.

Here are my projects to introduce the rest of the release.

For the treat box and tag I used:  Fall Leaves Stencil (NEW), Thanksgiving Gnomie (NEW), Gable Box Die, and Rounded Tag Die.
For the card I used:  Fall Leaves Stencil (NEW), Thankful for my Gnomie (NEW) ,Stitched Oval dies, Rectangle Dies 2, Coffee Dies, Scallop rectangle Dies, Mushroom Dies, Mini Tag Dies 3

Thankful for You ~ Jaded Blossom

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

I wanted to experiment with my new Atelier Fusion Ink pads (from Ink on 3) by using them to water color.

I chose the Fall Flourish set to use for this project.

Jaded Blossom products used for this card:

Fall Flourish

Card Mat Dies

Stitched Circle Dies

Scallop Circle Dies

If you're new to water coloring, it helps to heat emboss your image first to help the color stay within the lines.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Cut it Up Challenge # 186 ~ Thanks, Thankful, Thanksgiving

Hi Crafty Friends,
We're THANKFUL at Cut it Up Challenges and we're hoping you'll share your Thankful projects with us this week.  The team is also using the SMOOSHING techique.  We hope you'll try it.
Our sponsor is Scrappy Dew who provided our files for this challenge.  I chose the Wreath Girl set for my project.

This is a cut file but I chose to upload the jpeg image to my Silhouette software, adjust the size, and then print it out on my Canon Printer.  I used my Scan n Cut2 to cut out the image.  
So, what is SMOOSHING?  It's the technique I used for the background.  You place ink on acetate and then "smoosh" the acetate onto your background paper.  I misplaced my alcohol inks so I used Distress Stains.  They made more of a splat that a smoosh but I rather liked the result so I rolled with it!  I finished off  with some Wink of Stella on her wreath and some twine.
I hope you'll join our challenge this week.  Just follow the link above.
Happy November!!!

Give Thanks

    Hey, wasn't this the prevailing theme for last month's projects?  Well, if you've been following My Paper Crafting's 25 Days of Crafting you know that we've been sharing projects and calendar pages for the entire year.  Our theme for Day 18 is "Give Thanks."   I used my Cricut Thanksgiving cartridge to create these place cards and and napkin wraps for a Thanksgiving table. 

The placecard on the left shows the backside.   I hope you'll visit My Paper Crafting to see even more November projects, leave a little bloggie "thanks" and follow the links to today's free cutting file, digital stamps, and vintage graphic.

Fall Leaves

Happy Friday Morning!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I hope it's a great one.

So many challenges are asking for leaves, pumpkins, and fall colors.  Rightfully so since today is the first day of fall - now the weather just has to go along with it!  I made this card to enter in the My Craft Spot fall leaves challenge and also the Cooking with Cricut colors of autumn challenge.

It's a rather simple card, but this season makes me think of life's simple pleasures.

All of the papers are from the DCWV autumn stacks (3 different ones).  The pumpkin is cut from glittered paper, but it's difficult to tell.  The cut is from the Thanksgiving Seasonal Cartridge and the ribbon is Bazzill Basics.  I used the MS leaves border punch and  my 3-D gel pens to color the leaves on the inside.  The sentiment is from the My Craft Spot Happy Fall set that I won last week (woohoo!)

I'm off to another class at The Paper Garden.  Today's class is Christmas in September.  The gals at this boutique design with an Asian flair and also use lots of sparkle.  I'm really looking forward to learning more about their glittering techniques so it should be a fun morning.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Larelyn
