I was attracted to this stamp set when I opened up the Holiday catalog. So, I was very happy when Robin had this card for us to make at her recent Everything Fall class. Next time I use this set I want to stamp in black and color in the leaves. You know that adults coloring is a new thing now, so I want to join in the new trend.
Don't you like to find new ways to use old stamp sets? When I was thinking about stamp sets to use for my fall card buffet class, I remembered the stamp set that went along with the perpetual birthday calendar. I had not used it once since I made the calendar. I made a quick an easy card with these few extras.
Into the Woods elements
Banner Punch
Seasonal Frame Thinlits
I think I am going to feature this stamp set in my card buffets from now on.
I decided this card would fit into any season, but since I wanted to make it fall was as good a season as any to feature it. This was one of my favorite swaps from convention. The only parts of the card that are not one of the stamps in the stamp set is the word hello from the Endless Birthday stamp set and the thin Delightful Dijon strip from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. The card was a big hit at my card buffet.
After I made my October framed art, I tried to figure out a way to use the wonderful Spider Web doilies in a card. Since I love simple this card worked for me. The other items on the card are....
Gorgeous Grunge- I can't believe I did not like this set when we received it as a free stamp set at convention several years ago.
Among the Branches- the spooky saying and the eyes are some of my favorites from this set.
Rhinestones colored black with a Sharpie marker make the finishing touch on the card. Now, to make a bunch for the grandkids for Halloween.
I love this card that my friend Robin featured in her class called Everything Fall. I really copied it just the way she had created it. How can you make anything perfect better? What do I love about this card?
1. The brick wall, love that embossing folder.
2. The pumpkin scene-could be a Halloween card, or a fall card just change up the sentiment.
3. The technique Robin used to get the sky and the grass separated so well.
First she stamped the image 2 times onto post-it notes.
Next on one she cut the ground and around the pumpkins.
Finally she cut the sky and around the pumpkins.
When stamping the ground she covered the sky and pumpkins and sponged a green color. She reversed this to get the sky sponged. A great card for masking.
It may look like a hard card to make but with the framelits and our new fine tipped glue pen it was quite easy.
