Happy Scenes Bundle is so versatile!

The Happy Scenes bundle from the holiday catalog, is so incredibly versatile!  You can make winter, Christmas, Halloween, or fall cards easily with this stamp set and framelits.  I have seen so many gorgeous creations on Pinterest with this set.  For my last Stampers' techniques class, I used the same card pieces to make both a fall and Christmas card, so people could choose to make the one they wanted.  I used the new Black glimmer paper from the holiday catalog for the window frame, so the window frame is glittery!  The window box is cut from the corrugated paper.  It is a really fun textured paper, that is perfect for a wood kind of look.  We used an aqua painter and ink pads to color in the pumpkins and grass, etc.

Other products used on this card: Brick Wall embossing folder, gold and silver foil doilies, washi label punch, inks: pumpkin pie, old olive, real red, crushed curry, memento black, pool party.

Happy Day to each of you!!!

Just One More.....

Sunflower to share!  Okay,.... this sunflower background stamp ROCKS!  I just love how easy it is to stamp something spectacular with it!  For this card, I first applied More Mustard ink over the entire stamp, then added chocolate chip ink to the center with a sponge dauber, rocked the edges in Cajun Craze ink -- spritzed the stamp lightly with water and stamped it on a Vanilla panel.  I tore the right edge, and swiped all edges over my Early Espresso ink pad to give that rustic look.  I punched the chocolate panel on one side with my scallop border punch, and then layered it onto a More Mustard folded card.  For the center, I used a retired Chocolate Chip corduroy button with some twine tied through the holes.  For the final touch, I used the new Dazzling Details glue available (for just $2.50!) in the New Holiday Mini, to outline the tips of the petals.  It is kind of like Stickles, only I like it better -- picks up the colors of whatever you put it on for a really colorful sparkle!
Finally, I embossed the sentiment -- Kind Thanks -- with the new pewter embossing powder -- also in the Holiday Mini.  It's a nice vintage touch, rather than just the plain silver....
