Pumpkin Chai Latte

Hello friends ~ 

It's cold and rainy here today so I've made you a pumpkin chai latte to enjoy.

 

I was mainly playing around with the new to me, Holiday Citrus Layering Stencil from The Ton.  

 

Even though the Holiday Citrus stencil is meant fro Christmas, I decided to repurpose it for a fall card instead.

 

I popped it onto this large coffee mug from Marianne Designs and added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the whipped cream using silk microfine glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

 I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

The Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Fall Challenge

Peace On Earth

Good morning friends ~ I'm popping in with another card I made for WCMD for last weeks festivities over at A Cherry On Top. 

 

The challenge was to use faux stitching so I created the background using faux stitched dies, crossing them over in the center of a cream colored card stock.

 

I added greenery and pine cones from The Greetery and a chickadee from Honeybee Stamps.  You can see that I added some clear glitter to the pine cones to give them a frosted look.  They shine much better in real life.  The sentiment is pre-printed from Memory Box.

Sunflower Card ~ World Card Making Day

Good morning friends ~ Did you participate in any of the festivities for World Card Making Day?  I played along over at A Cherry On Top and was able to add quite a few cards to my stash.  

The fall card challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to use up some of this design paper from Graphic 45.  It's been in my stash for much too long.

 

This fabulous sunflower die is also an oldie from Cheery Lynn Designs, and to this day is still one of my favorite sunflowers dies.

Little Blue Bird

Hello crafty friends ~ I have a pretty blue bird card to share with you today.  I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest that was similar in design as this, so I cased the layout using my own dies. 

 

Oldies but goodies include, Wonky Stitched Scalloped Rectangles from MFT, Winter Robin from Dee's Distinctively Dies, Olive Branches from Cheery Lynn Designs and Potpourri Flowers from Poppystamps.

 

I cut the olive leaves and the smaller flowers out of white cardstock and rubbed on a bit of Distress inks to add color.  The larger flowers are cut from blue scraps found in my scrapbox.  All topped with fairy gems from Honeybee Stamps.

 

 I like that this whole card was made using scraps, except for the card base.  

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:

Sweetest Christmas Card

Good morning friends ~  Today's card was made for the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge.  I was so afraid I was going to miss the deadline, but phew!  I made it with three days to spare. 

 

This card is a little heavy on the stripes, but that was totally intentional as you'll see why when you see the inspiration tile Darlene and Diane gave for the challenge.

 

Stripey!  Right??

 

I stenciled a sweet candy cane background using stencils from Pretty Pink Posh.  The mug is from Ink N' Splatter.  I won this die last year from ACOT and hadn't even clipped apart the pieces yet.  It's a cute, chunky little mug!

 

It's a little busy to look at in my opinion, but it's kind of growing on me. The candy canes look brighter in real life.  Anyway, I'm happy to add a Christmas card to my stash.
