Scrappy Moms Stamps November 2015 Stamp Release - Local Lingo! - Hello/Hi Card

Hello Crafters,

 I'm back to share another card I made using a sentiment from one of the new November Scrappy Moms stamp sets.  

I'm a little behind in creating my projects because my craft room is a complete disaster so I spent today cleaning it up.  Once I got that done I was able to sit down and created this card.  

I love how all it turned out except the eyelashes.  I'm not completely in love with them as I am the rest of the card. 

Here are the two new sets:

"Loco Lingo!" and "In the End Zone!"

Card Recipe:

• Sentiment from the new Scrappy Moms Stamps "Loco Lingo!" stamp set.
• Card base is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" 
• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaTootles-Nut Free Candy set
• Used my eBrush to shade my pumpkins.  #eBrush
• used Versa Magic Gingerbread Chalk Ink to ink the squirrel pieces.
• Cut leaves out and put them in place where the candy was suppose to go.  
•  Background was embossed with the Darice Fall Leaf embossing folder.
• Used Memento Potter's Clay, Close to My Heart Cocoa and Studio G Creamsiscle Orange to highlight the embossed edges.  
• Hay paper from my stash.
• Eye lashes are yarn from my craft stash.

Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Fall Color Challenge - Brown and Orange

Happy Tuesday Crafters,

Summer is over and Fall is here so there's no better time to break out those Brown and Orange papers, embellishments, ribbons, etc and make a project for the brand new Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Fall Color Challenge - Brown and Orange. 

I had an extreme difficult time just using brown and orange.  I cheated just a wee bit by using some yellow ink on my sunset background but I stopped there.  I really wanted to make some burgundy leaves but restrained myself.  Sentiment is from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps "The Charmed Life"  stamp set. The orange and brown of the hot air balloon, the dark brown leaves, acorn pieces and eye pieces are cut from paper pieces in my overflowing scrap drawers (almost each color has it's own drawer :) ).  

Here is my project: 

Card Recipe:

• "Happy Fall Y'all" sentiment from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps "The Charmed Life" stamp set. 
• Squirrel and leaves from Treasure Box Designs "Falling into Fall" file.
• I enlarged one of the leaves to stamp the sentiment on. 
• Inked all the pieces with Stampin' Up Dust Durango.
• Crushed all the leaves to make them look old and crinkly.  It also gave them some dimension.
• Card base is odd shaped.  I made it at 8-3/4" High by 4-1/4" to accommodate the Squirrel in the acorn hot air balloon.
• The back ground was cut 1/4" smaller than the card base and then inked using the following inks:
• Stamps of Life - Banana
• CTMH - Sunset & Honey
• Stampin' Up - Dusty Durango & Tango Twist
• Craft Smart - Orange

Hope you join us in this challenge.

Retirement Card

Hello Crafters~

Today I'm sharing with you a retirement card I made for my co-worker who's retiring this Friday.  (I'm so jelly)

When I was searching the internet for retirement card ideas I found a card that had a squirrel and a cute saying and I thought "Oooh I can make that using the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Nut Tree Squirrel".  :)

I'm super excited on how this turned out.   I'm just in love with it and if I hadn't written his name and signed it I might have kept it for myself.   

It will go on my "Utmost Favorite Cards" list.  

Without further delay, here are several pictures of my squirrel retirement card.   

Be sure to check out the card recipe after the pictures.
