Tis the Season

I am up on the Jillian Vance Design Blog today with a very festive Christmas Card using some of the recently released dies. I hope you'll head over to see what I used and what I did to make my card.

Hello Bluebird Instagram Challenge

I have a card to share today for the Hello Bluebird Instagram - Spooky Night!

I purchased the Halloween Party stamp set and the Spooky Scene dies last year just before Halloween and I didn't have a chance to use it. So this challenge was the perfect opportunity to get it out and ink it up!

I started off by blending a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock using Distress Oxide inks in Dried Marigold, Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans and finally a bit of Black Soot around the top edges. I splattered the panel with some watered down white acrylic paint and set it aside to dry. I die cut the Spooky Scene from black cardstock and I adhered it to my ink blended panel with liquid glue. The die cut the spooky scene in three main pieces so you can use them all or use just the pieces you want. I stamp and die cut the cute critters from the stamp set and coloured the images with Copic markers. I added them to the scene with either tape runner and the bat and bear with foam tape. The tiny 'Boo!' sentiment was white embossed int he upper right corner!

Happy Halloween!

Give Thanks

I am up on the Jillian Vance Design Blog today with  Fall/Thanksgiving card using the new Autumn Pumpkins stamp set and some gorgeous WOW Gold Pearl embossing powder for my sentiment! Pop over to A Jillian Vance Design to see what I used to create my card. The Canadian Thanksgiving is only a month away so I have a few cards to make.

End of Summer Soiree - August '19

End of Summer???

Not for this girl, as much as I love fall I am not ready to let go of the summer weather just yet, we waited too long for it! However it is the last day of the month and time for the August The 12 Kits of Occasions!

As this posts I am actually moving my daughter back up to Sudbury for her 5th and final year. She is doing a ConEd program which is a 5 year program working on both her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and her Bachelor of Education at the same time. So this year is called her Pro Year and she was only invited to complete this year if she kept honours standing. So mom's bragging pants on, I am so proud of my girl!

As for this months The 12 Kits of Occasions we had a lovely kit inspired by designer Michelle Leone! Such a unique colour combination and I was able to create 5 cards and still have some leftovers to CASE some of my teammates! However, I am only able to share 3 with you today. The other two I didn't have time to photograph with all the frenzy of packing!

Here are the cards that I created this month:

Please visit the 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see what the rest of the team has done with the same products!

I'll return Sunday with my remaining cards, hope you are having a fantastic Labor Day weekend!
