Happy Fall Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun fall card.

Let's get started!

I gathered all the supplies I need for the project. 

I started by die cutting all the components I needed for the card. Then, I stamped, colored and trimmed squirrel, acorns, and leaves.  

Next, I added a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress ink to the white card panel which 

I trimmed to 4"x 5-1/4". I then added some ink to the die cuts for some added dimension.

I then layered the white panel onto a kraft panel. 

Next, I start adding the die-cut pieces with some foam adhesive to the card front panel. Then, the squirrel, acorns, and leaves

  

Next, I add the curtains and the tie backs with some foam adhesive.

  

Then, the twigs and sunflowers to the top of the curtains.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a die-cut banner and adhere it with some foam adhesive.

For finishing touches, I add a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Copper Penny to the center of the sunflowers and to the sentiment strip.

Now, the card is complete!

I simply printed the digital file and colored the flower in shades of pink and a hint of yellow for the center. I then trimmed the flower.

I used some low profile foam adhesive to mount the flower onto the cream and medium pink cardstock. I offset the cream cardstock to the left. I then die cut the word HAPPY and stamped the sentiment for you from a stamp set onto a bit of medium pink cardstock; used some foam adhesive to mount the sentiment onto the card front panel. I then adhered the card front panel to the card base. For finishing touches, I used a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Copper

Thanksgiving Table Setting with Rinea Foil Paper and Joy Clair Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with two fun and Thanksgiving projects for you today.

We're collaborating with Joy Clair Stamps all the month of September.

For this project, I am using Joy Clair Turkey Talk Stamp set and some Fall Rinea Foil Papers.



I made two table settings a Silverware Holder and a Napkin Ring.

The first project - I Am So ThankFULL - Thanksgiving Silverware Holder. 

Let's get started!

I stamped, colored and fussy cut Turkey Pilgrim.  I added a sentiment to the Turkey's sign.

Then, I cut the silverware holder on black cardstock. 

Next, I adhered the cardstock holder onto Rinea Glossy Copper/Gold Foil paper and 

Rinea Glossy Marigold/Gold Foil paper. I trimmed it out. I did the same for the flowers but I used Rinea Starstruck Voilet/Voilet Foil Paper 

and Rinea Glossy Gold/Gold Foil paper. 

Next, I inked the edges of the holder with some Distress Ink in Walnut - to hide the white edges of the foil paper.

Then, I added some adhesive to the tabs of the holder and pressed into place - creating a pocket for the silverware.

 

Next, I added some Distress Oxide ink in Wilted Violet to the petals of the flowers. I also added some Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber to the center circles of the flower. Then, I used some foam adhesive to adhere the layers together. I curled the petals of the flower for some dimension.

 

I added some foam to the back of Turkey Pilgrim and adhered it to the holder along with the flower.

 

Now, the Thanksgiving Silverware Holder is complete.

 

Second Project - Eat More BEEF - Napkin Ring

I stamped, colored and fussy cut Turkey.  I added a sentiment to the Turkey's sign.

I die cut the napkin from black cardstock from the Cricut Tablescapes - Fall/Winter cartridge. I adhered it to Rinea Starstruck Jade/Jade Foil Paper - on the ornate section of the napkin ring. For the ring part, I adhered Rinea Glossy Mocha/Gold Foil paper.

I wrapped the Rinea Glossy Mocha/Gold Foil paper around the ring part and glued it in place. I added a bit of Distress Oxide ink Bundled Sage to the edges of the ornate paper. I also added a bit of Distress Oxide ink in Gathered Twigs to the ring part.

  

Next, I formed a ring by curling the band. There are two slits in the ornate part of the napkin ring that will hold the ring together.

Then, I added a bit of Distress Oxide ink Carved Pumpkin to the petals of the flower and Distress Oxide inkFossilized Amber the circle center. Using some foam adhesive I layered the flower petals. I used a bit of adhesive to adhere the center of the flower. Then, I used some foam adhesive on the back of the flower and place it onto the ornate part of the ring.

 

I added a bit of foam tape to the back of the turkey and placed it onto the ornate part of the ring.
Next, I place the ornate ends into each other via the slits. Form a ring.  

Now, The Eat More BEEF Napkin Ring is complete!

Happy Halloween With White Rose Crafts LLC

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a Halloween card. 

This week at White Rose Crafts LLC we're doing Distress Techniques on our projects.

I created this Halloween card.

Let's get started.

I start by trimming a piece of Core-dinations cardstock Black/Purple. I then run it through an embossing folder. I also do some embossing using embossing plates from Fiskars of the pumpkin and cat. I used a bit of Distress ink on the pumpkins. I stamped my sentiment.

I trimmed the pumpkins & cat out then with a distress tool I roughed up the edges. If you don't have a distress tool you can use your scissors. I tore the edges of the banner sentiment.

On the embossed black panel, I used a distress sander - You can use a bit of sandpaper (fine grit). To reveal the purple color underneath.  Next, I adhered the black/purple panel onto a light green piece cardstock.  Then, I adhered the pumpkins, cat, and sentiment using foam adhesive.   

I also added a few sequins for a finishing touch.
