Felted Pumpkin

I have definitely been bitten by the felting bug!  I knew that I would be, once I tried a class.  You might remember that I posted a little felted fox a few weeks ago.  Well I had enough leftover supplies to create a little pumpkin.

My sister was visiting, so she created a little white one, and I did the rusty orange version.  After creating the shape, we threaded a large needle with some twine, and added it to the grooves.

I scavenged in my yard to find a little stick that I trimmed and hot glued on as the stem.  It's pretty funny how something so little, can make you ridiculously happy just looking at it :-)

Tiny Snowman Tags

 I bought the Tiny Snowman Dies from Trinity Stamps, thinking to use him on some Christmas tags.  And boy is he tiny!!

He was very fun to assemble, but you definitely have to bring along your patience... those little holly berries are individual little bits... I used tweezers and a thin stemmed glue to create these.

I am playing along with the Alphabet Soup challenge in the Papercrafter's Inner Circle group on Facebook.  This is "T is for Tiny Tag"!

Sending Joy

This is a new-to-me Betterpress plate set - Colour Mix Joy from Spellbinders.

I used the registration plate to get my placing for each of the letters, pressing them in different colours, overlapping a little.  I added a few of the sentiments that come with the set in black.

I cut them both out with a decorative frame die from The Greetery, and matted them with brushed gold cardstock.

I added some holiday bits and pieces to each one along with some gold pearls.

Pumpkin Patch

 I have pulled out some of my favourite Pigment Craft Co. sets today to create a card for my sister.  

This is the Pumpkin Patch, and Fall Wreath sets, all stamped in Distress Oxide Inks.  I stamped all kinds of the leaves, planning to make a bright coloured wreath, but went this route instead.  (Although I still have a ton of leaves, so stay tuned!).  

The coverplate is also from Pigment Craft Co... just can't find it's name at the moment!  I inked it up with a little Broken Glass ink before die cutting it.  The sentiment is from Sweater Season Sentiments, double layered for a bit of extra dimension.  The pumpkins are all adhered with 3D foam adhesive.

S is for Suitcase

Still playing along with the Alphabet Soup challenge in the Papercrafter's Inner Circle group on Facebook. So this is S is for Suitcase.

I am using the Retro Suitcase die and stamp set, which is part of the We All Have Baggage collection by Sheri Ballantyne for Spellbinders.  Love this little suitcase!!  I am using the older Travel Girl papers from October Afternoon - which were really fun to piece together.

The sentiment is from Studio Light, and cut in Spellbinders Brushed Silver Treasured cardstock, with a vellum mat.

Fall Peony Bouquet

I wanted to do a fall version of the cards I created a few weeks ago, using the Lush Peony Bouquet press plate from Alex Syberia Designs.

The plate was pressed in Betterpress Black ink on regular cream cardstock.  I used Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Abandoned Coral, Wild Honey and Rustic Hinge Distress Oxide inks and the coordinating stencils to colour the florals.

I used two frame dies from The Greetery to cut the images out, and mounted them to some warm brown cardstock with 3D foam adhesive.  A few pearls and pressed sentiments finished them off.

Ruscus

 I used the remaining portion of ink blended watercolour paper with another die from The Greetery - Ruscus (it's a type of foliage!).

This time I adhered it to a black cardstock panel, then mounted it with foam adhesive over some matte gold cardstock on a white base.

I added some irridescent pearls and a gold foiled sentiment.
