Jaded Blossom: FANCY PUMPKIN Home Decor

 Happy Friday everyone! Have you checked out this month's monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom? The theme for August is FALLING FOR FALL. You still have time to play along with us. The deadline to link up your card is 10/03 at 11:59pm PST for a chance to win a FREE stamp set of your choice! 

Today, I'm showing off a wall hanging I made using the FANCY PUMPKIN DIE. I needed more fall inspired things around the house and I found this awesome blank wall hanging in the dollar spot at Target for $5. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but then the fabulous Fancy Pumpkin Die came out and I had an "AHA" moment! I found some plaid stickers in my stash and voila my home decor project was complete!

 
I cut the main pumpkin die from patterned paper from different paper pads, and glued the outline die cut on top. I colored the stem piece with a brown sharpie and glued it back inside the die cut out. The leaves are from the FALL DIES Set. I inked the edges of the leaves with Espresso Distress Oxide and glued two leaves together. The swirly piece is from the Fancy Pumpkin Set. I added foam tape behind the pumpkins so they are raised off the board a little
 


 
I found these awesome stickers in my stash, but wanted to give the letters more stability and also give myself a way to line up the letters on the board without sticking them down yet. I decided to stick the letters on white cardstock and fussy cut each one out. Then I laid them on the board and use a ruler to line them up where I wanted them. Once I got them arranged how I wanted them, I ran the letters through my Xyron Sticker Maker.  


Here's my project displayed in my kitchen next to my fall tiered tray. I am still working on the tiered thing. It needs some different pieces that are still "work in progress" right now, LOL!

For more inspiration head over to the Jaded Blossom Blog! And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

Hugs,

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: CHEEKY HONEY


Happy Friday everyone! We are on Day 3 of Stamp Features for the
SEPTEMBER Release at The Greeting Farm. This month was another fabulous release with 3 new stamp sets, and several Halloween Digis! I'll be showcasing the Halloween digis with several different projects on Monday.

Today, I'm showcasing this gorgeous girl called CHEEKY HONEY. When I saw her with her hand up, I knew I had to create an engagement card with her showing off her dazzling ring. I colored her with Copics and paper-pieced the main body of her dress. Next, I cut a little gem in half and then at an angle to create a little diamond for her finger.

Copics: 
Skin: E11, E13, E15, E18
Eyes: E43, E44
Hair: E43, E44, E49, C8, Black
Dress: Paper-pieced
Black multiliner
Gold Cricut Marker
 
I used papers from 3 different My Mind's Eye paper pads: FANCY THAT, YES PLEASE, and ON TREND. To create dimension I raised several parts on foam tape.
 
 
 
 Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! Remember, we have our Blog Hop going on until the 18th! And please come join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share you creations. We would love to see them!

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: FA LA LA


Happy Thursday everyone! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the SEPTEMBER Release at The Greeting Farm. This month was another fabulous release with 3 new stamp sets, and several Halloween Digis!

Today, I created a Pop-Up Box Card using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Die to show off these adorable snowmen from the set called FA LA LA. I think they are so stinkin' CUTE!! We all need these fun snowmen in our lives!

 Copics: 
Snowmen: BV20, BV31, BV00,C0, Colorless Blender
Pink: RV02, R83, R85
Stripes: R83, R85, G21, G25

The awesome car in the background is a die from SugarPea Designs called Christmas Car. I LOVE it! It even comes with a little Christmas tree, mini ornaments and some presents. But for this pop-up box card I used the tree from The Greeting Farm Fa La La set. 


The great thing about these pop-up box cards is that they fold flat for mailing! Pretty awesome, right?
