Guest Designing for The Shabby Tea Room!

Good morning!!!  

I am super excited that I recently won one of the challenges over at The Shabby Tea Room!  

WooHoo! 

 One of the perks when you win is that you get to Guest Design for them one week!  And this is my week!  The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #189 is to create a card using this photograph as your inspiration

 and to use Fall flowers:

What a beautiful inspiration photo!

This new set from Our Daily Bread designs is perfect for this challenge!  I colored the Fall Flower Pumpkin with copics and cut it out with the coordinating ODBD Custom Pumpkin and Flowers Die.  I placed the cut out image on a Spellbinders frame made with Square dies, Labels 18, and the ODBD Custom Fence die.  I added a little touch of burlap under the image too.  Then I embellished with leaves made with Autumn Blessings and ODBD Custom Leaves and Acorn dies and swirls made with ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage dies.  To finish the card I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with a Spellbinders Tag Trio die and tucked it under the pumpkin.  

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

Autumn!

 Hi there!  Hope your day is going great!

Here is a card I made with the new Fall Flower Pumpkin and Autumn Blessings sets from Our Daily Bread designs!  These sets are beautiful but one of the best things is that there are coordinating dies for them!!!  The images are colored with copics.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg bow Maker.  The background layers and embossing are all done with Spellbinders dies.

Here are all the products that can be found at ODBD:

I Love This Time of Year!

 

What a beautiful time of year! 

 I love seeing the colorful autumn leaves falling, and feel the cool crisp mornings.  

Summer is waving good bye!

Here is a card I made using one of the new October releases from ODBD called Autumn Blessings.  

 I stamped the leaves onto musical designer paper and cut them out with the ODBD Custom Leaves and Acorn Dies.  I did a little sponging on the edges of the leaves and on the Spellbinders Square. The base card is embossed with a Spellbinders Marvelous Square die.  I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help get the sentiment straight.  And that is it!  Clean and Simple!

I am posting this to the ODBDSLC173-Fall Leaves

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!

I don't know about y'all but I am seeing lots of beautiful white pumpkins being used in Fall decorations!  That is what inspired me in my coloring of this wonderful Fall Flower Pumpkin stamp, new from ODBD.  And cutting out the image was a breeze with the coordinating ODBD Custom Pumpkin with Flowers Die!  It is framed inside a Spellbinders Marvelous Square frame that I had cut weeks ago but didn't use.  I added a pretty lace bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and then a tag with a sentiment from the new Autumn Blessings set!

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

The Apple of God's Eye!

 Hi everyone!  

Autumn is finally in the air and we have been enjoying 

lovely cool temps here in my neck of the woods!  

Love it!

Here is a card I made for several challenges:

WT446-Squares-(I'm counting the little squares in the gingham)

WAW99-Anthing Goes with Scripture or encouraging word

TSTR185-The Splendor of Fall (Apple theme)

ODBDSLC172-Anything Goes with ODBD stamps or dies

ARTC16-Anything Goes

 This new ODBD Apples image is colored with copics and I added glossy accents to the apples to give them that apple shine!  I cut it out with the ODBD Custom Elegant Oval die and placed it over two of the new ODBD Custom Decorative Corners.  The background is ODBD Gingham Background and is framed with Spellbinders Matting Basics.  The little vine is from ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage dies and the tag is ODBD Custom Recipe Card and Tag dies.  The little bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!  

Here are all the ODBD supplies I used:

Happy Fall Y'all!

Granny Smith Apple Wreath

Hi there!  Hope you are having a good week! 

 Same old, same old around here!  LOL!!!  

I thank the Lord though for same old, same old, ya know?  How about you?  

I have fallen in love with this Apple Wreath set from Our Daily Bread designs!  It is just so FALL!!!

I colored the wreath with copics and cut it out.  I also stamped and colored two more apples and cut them out.  I used a stylus on the underside of the wreath and apples to give the cut out a little bit of texture.  I decided to 'hang' the wreath from the Spellbinders ODBD Custom Window Die cut using a pretty seam binding bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I attached the window to a layer that is embossed with the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares. 

I added the other two apples and covered all the apples with Glossy Accents.  

And that is it!  So glad you could visit today!  Happy Fall Y'all!

What are the Odds?

Hi there!  I have a card to share using the new Apple Wreath set from ODBD!   The Ways to Use it Challenge at SCS today is to use an odd number of something.  So, three apples should do it!  This card is clean and simple even with all the layers.  I used Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One to emboss the card base and then layered Labels One dies over the embossing.  I stamped a portion of the apple wreath three times so I could color and cut out the three apples.  They are attached with foam tape.  You can see here how the Apple Wreath stamp set looks:

I masked the sentiment and stamped it and then added the dots and bow.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!  Love that thing!!!

 Well thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful evening!

Be Inspired 107-Mercy and Love

Hi everyone!  Hope you all are enjoying a beautiful Fall! 

 This week the Passionately Artistic Blog team is sharing more ideas for Fall and Halloween.  Our challenge was to use the colors: green, orange, black, purple and a splash of red.  I used a muted version of those colors (More Mustard, Old Olive, Perfect Plum) for a little different take from the usual bright Fall colors.  I used a stamp set from Our Daily Bread designs called Randi's Song.  I stamped the leaves and cut them out.  Then I sprayed them with Brick Glimmer Mist to get that pop of red.  The background is embossed with the pear folder from the Preserves embossing set by Provocraft.  

I added black ribbon and black buttons to finish the card!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
