Give Thanks

This is a lil "Inchie" card with different things associated with Autumn.

I used several different carts for this card.

George was used to make the 8 lil inch blocks.Cut on the regular feature as well as shadow.

PDDU for the pumpkin, cut at 2 1/2" the turkey, cut at 1 3/4" and the corn, cut at 2 1/2".

Doodlecharms for the leaf,cut at 1"the apple, cut at 1" and the acorn was cut at 1 1/2".

SYI for the sunflower, cut at 1".

Don Juan for the letters, cut at 3/4" on shadow.

All cuts were made 2 to 3 times, depending on the weight of the paper.

I used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder for the background, leaf, apple and acorn and the Swirl folder for the rectangle under Autumn.I popped each block and did lots of inking .

I scented this card with my favorite Autumn Harvest oil! It smells just like Autumn should!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look !!!!

Caramel Apples

Who doesn't LOVE a caramel apple?!? This time of year makes me think of them, along with all the County Fairs that are starting here in Alabama.Since I can't eat those sweet, delicious apples anymore, I made one to look at ! I used Doodlecharms for the Apple, cut at 3", 3 times and 1" for the inside apple.I bought the Drippy Goo punch, just for the apples! I think it looks like warm caramel dripping down the sides.Added some Glossy Accents ,a kabob skewer and some hemp for the ribbon.Thanks so much for taking a peek!!!

I'm sure most of you have figured out that Fall is my favorite season! And we had some chilly mornings in Alabama last week...yippeeee!!! Pumpkins rank right up there with crows, sunflowers and scarecrows,with me, so I had to make another card with them featured.This paper screamed my name ( paper can whisper my name and I will buy it, who am I kiddin?!? )
PDDU was used for the pumpkins, cut at 51/2" and 31/2", 3 times.Inside pumpkin was cut at 21/2".

SYI was used for the swirls, cut 2 times at 31/2".

Jasmine was used for the corners, cut at 31/2", 2 times.

LOTS of popping and inking.I used 2 different sizes of Nestabilities scalloped ovals, and added some Recollections pearls to the swirls. I added a touch of glitter spray to the tops of the pumpkins,to make it look like frost! Thanks so much for taking a peek at my art!!!!

Go Buck Wild

I got home from the lake yesterday and Dan met me with a kiss and a request.Will you make me a birthday card for John? John is an elderly man that is a member of the hunting club Dan belongs to.This was a NO brainer ! I dug out my camo paper and my CO cartridge.Used my nesties Label form,cut the deer and the trees at 2",the pine cones at 1".The sign was cut at 21/4".Lots of inking, popping, added the twine and walla! Thanks for taking a look !!!

With Sympathy

Our sister in law, Sue lost her dad last week and only notified us on Wednesday so I had to toss a card together.This is my basic sympathy card. I use the basic LO and just change the paper and arrange the butterflies differently.Yep, I'm lazy when it comes to making these cards, cause I hate to have to make them!!! I used my nesties labels, the IA butterfly as well as a MS punch.Embossed the background paper with the textile folder did some inking and popping added the ribbon, pearls, brads and sentiment and there you go. Thanks so much for taking a peek!!!!!

Oh Christmas Tree

I made these cards over the weekend.I was trying to make a card simple enough to send, yet still pretty, without weighing too much. I'm not so sure I like these cards ! lol I used PDDU for the tree, cut at 3".Lots of inking and popping, then added the stars and ribbon. Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

The House of Horror

Since I had this paper out, I decided to make another "spooky" card! The only cart I used was PDDU....ooops, I did use CO for the moon.Black Magic paper, by Core'dinations. I just love that lil skeleton...can you tell??? He is peeking out all over! The frog is caught in the web and the ghost is the official door greeter.The bats are flying by the light of the full moon.I'm kinda liking these spooky cards and I hope you enjoy them too!!! Thanks for taking a look !!!!!!

The Graveyard

Here is my 1st ever attempt at a Halloween card ! Some of you may think I'm crazy, but even when John Allen was little, I never decorated with a spooky theme.I always made his costumes, so I never even had a reason to buy spooky stuff.I'm more of a Harvest girl, scarecrows, crows, pumkins and such. But I have seen so many cute cards posted and I finally got PDDU with all those cute lil cuts, I had to give it a try.I used PDDU for everything but the moon, thats from the CO cart.I love the lil skeleton peeking out from the tree....I dont know why but I laugh everytime I look at him !!! Anyway, I used pop dots, glittered a few things and added the ribbon.I hope you like it !! Thanks so much for taking a look!! xoxo Joy

The Quilt

I was inspired, to make this card, by a quilt I made for John Allen before he was even born! I brought it down out of the closet today and was flooded with emotions.They ran the gambit too!I'm going to spend the night with my Mother tomorrow night and she has always loved this lil quilt and since she can't have it ( although she does have the matching pillow ) I decided to make her a paper version.I thought it was quit ironic, that 33 years ago, I made a quilt, that featured a landscape.SO many of the cards I make now, are of landscapes.Old habits die hard I guess.Once I created lil scenes with fabric and now I do them with paper! I'm a creature of habit and I don't mind at all! Here is a picture of the quilt and the card.Thanks so much for looking and I hope this might bring you all, some fond memories of your own. xoxoxoxo Joy

Vicki's Best Wishes Card

Most of you know that Vicki is getting married on Sept. 5th so I made her a card.She loves the butterfly from the IA cart and the flowers from George, so I incorporated them both.They were both cut at many different sizes and layered.Used the nestie scalloped hearts, embossed the large one with the textile folder and the small one with the hearts.Added a lil calendar with a heart brad over the date of her wedding, added a few more brads to the flowers and some pearls to the heart.Lots of inking and popping and love went into this one. Thanks so much for looking !!!!
