Deck the Halls with Pink Snowflakes

Good morning!  There is a new Mid Month Inspiration stencil over at A Colorful Life Designs today, and this one is all about the winter season!!  Can you guess??  Yup, this new stencil is called Stellar Snowflakes, and it is on sale for only $4 until September 22.  You can save even more by using this code, HollyFan10, which will give you an extra 10% off everything in your cart (excluding Master Creator Bundles).  

There are two snowflakes on this large stencil, and I wanted to use them both.  I placed the Stellar Snowflakes stencil so that one of the snowflakes was in the middle of the left side of a white card and I brushed a soft pink ink over that.  Then I removed the stencil, turned it around, and placed the other snowflake above the pink snowflake and I brushed a darker pink ink over that.  I moved the stencil to place that same snowflake below the middle one and I brushed the darker pink ink over that.  Finally, I added the die cut sentiment (Concord & 9th) and some Metallic Silver Card Bling.

I hope this inspires you to create some fun holiday cards!  Remember to use the code, HollyFan10, to save even more off this $4 Stellar Snowflakes stencil before this sale is over on September 22.  Come on back tomorrow and I'll share another card with this new stencil.  Have a fabulous day!

 

Warm Hello Falling Leaves

Good morning!  Have you seen the new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs?  There are some wonderful new fall, moon/stars, and Halloween designs to play with this month.  I love the fall season and I fell in love with this new Falling Leaves stencil.  I spread some gold paste over this stencil onto some brown cardstock and set it aside to dry.  After it was completely dry, I brushed some extra brown ink around the edges before I adhered this to a brown card base.  A sweet sentiment from Ink Blot Shop was stamped with the brown ink and adhered with some foam tape.

Dotted Leaf Fall Y'all

Good morning!  Have you seen the new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs?  There are some wonderful new fall, moon/stars, and Halloween designs to play with this month.  I pulled out the new Dotted Leaves stencil and I had a blast!  I inked it up with three different colors (purple, green, blue) and turned the stencil each time I used a new color.  I used the purple ink to brush over the sentiment from the Pumpkin Latte stencil (released last year) and cut that with a circle die.  After I cut a larger circle from purple cardstock, I glued it behind the white sentiment circle and adhered it to the stenciled card.  Some die cut leaves in purple, green, and blue cardstocks were adhered randomly as well as some Crystal Metallic Safari Card Bling.

Awesome Mystic Strands

Good morning!  Have you seen the new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs?  There are some wonderful new fall, moon/stars, and Halloween designs to play with this month.  I pulled out the new Mystic Strands stencil and placed it over some black cardstock.  After I brushed some white ink over the stencil, I sprayed some silver glitter all over the black panel.  It's so sparkly!  I glued this panel to a white card, added a silver glitter strip, and adhered the die cut sentiment (Altenew) at the top.

Dotted Leaf PSL

Good morning!  Does it feel like fall where you are?  It's not quite there yet here in Texas, but at least it's not hovering around 100F degrees anymore.  When I saw this adorable Dotted Leaves stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I really wanted to make a PSL-type card.  I placed the Dotted Leaves stencil over a kraft card and brushed kraft ink all over the stencil.  After I cleaned off the stencil, I positioned it again over the little pale orange cup and brushed some soft orange ink over the leaf on the cup.  How cute is that?

I finished assembling the PSL cup, added it to an orange die-cut oval, added some dark cayenne stripes to the card and affixed the PSL cup/oval and the sentiment (Honey Bee Stamps) to the card.  Some Satin Matte Gold Card Bling was the final touch on this fun card.

Autumn Filigree Leaf

Good morning!  I fell in love with the new Filigree Leaf stencil from A Colorful Life Designs as soon as I saw it.  I immediately placed this over a white cardstock panel and brushed some brown ink over this stencil.  After I brushed more brown ink around the edges of the panel, I used a distress tool to rough up the edges.  I stamped the sentiment (Honey Bee Stamps) with the same brown ink and then adhered this to a brown card.  For the final touches, I tied some linen thread into a bow, glued it to the leaf, and I added some Satin Matte Copper Card Bling all around the card.

Favorite Color is Autumn

Good morning!  There is a brand new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs, and we are celebrating the fall season this month.  I love all of the new leafy stencils, and I couldn't wait to play with this new Geometric Leaves stencil.  I placed this stencil over some watercolor paper and sprayed different colors of distress spray all over the panel.  After the panel dried completely, I added the sentiment (Concord & 9th) and some Satin Matte Chocolate Brown Card Bling and glued this to a white card base.
