Fall Is Here!

 Fall is here and this week my card was inspired by all of the gorgeous fall decor I see in my daily travels to and from work and around town. I see so many beautiful fall displays with everything from pumpkins to scarecrows and everything in between. This card has used a lot of stamps from High Hopes (list below the pictures) and involved a lot of fussy cutting but I am happy with how it turned out!

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers and hand fussy cut the images. I ran a black marker around the edges to make sure I got any white I had missed. I decided to keep the patterned paper neutral because there are so many images in my scene. After cutting a circle in a piece of card stock, I put some blue paper behind it and inked all of the edges with Ground Espresso Distress ink. I cut some clouds with a die and glued them in the sky. 

Next, I added the stamped images to create my scene, coloured the sentiment sign and added it using a brad. 

Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Hay Ride

Howdy - MichelleO here today ...  It is officially Fall right? Ok its still pretty hot where I am but on the calendar it is Fall coloring time! I pulled out a cutie favorite from High Hopes Stamps - Hay Ride

 

 Totally Adorable Right?? I adore the farm country images at High Hopes Stamps! And this cute little kids seem to be working on getting a few chores done? Maybe or just have fun giving rides. I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then inked the edges with Ranger Tie Dye ink,  for a more vintage feel on it. 

My pattern papers are from Memory Box Valise collection. All sewn down and put on a kraft paper card stock. Love the kraft card stock look of all of these papers! 

The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps "Welcome Fall" Great sentiment that is also an image of sorts! I used an enamel dot to faux hold the sign to the card - then decided that a few more in the opposite corner was needed as well. 

A happy card! Love how soft yet country this one feels.

Welcome Fall

 Fall is my favourite time of year. I love the cooler temperatures and less humidity, being able to wear a cozy sweater and the colours - love! fall colours. 

The August Happy Halloween/Fall release is full of fall and Halloween images and perfect to inspire your fall themed cards. I have combined the Old Pick Up and Fall Tree from the release with an older stamp called Pumpkin Trio to create my fall scene. 

After colouring the fall tree, truck and pumpkins with Copic markers I hand fussy cut the truck and pumpkins and set them aside. I had some fun playing around with adding the rust to my truck - it was a colouring adventure that is for sure! 

Next I got the fall tree and after cutting a puffy cloud border die, I added some clouds around the tree with stormy sky distress ink. 

I had stamped two of the pumpkin trios so I cut one lone pumpkin out and cut and glued two of them into the back of truck. Once the stamps were all ready I found some paper from Simple Stories and created the card base. I started by gluing down the fall tree, and lone pumpkin and then added the truck with pop dots to add some dimension. 

To finish off my card, I stamped, coloured and hand fussy cut my sentiment and added it with a piece of twine and added some enamel dots.

Welcome Fall!

Hi there friends,

today I'm sharing a Autumn card I made using a couple adorable images from High Hopes Stamps!

To begin my card I stamped "Hay Ride" and colored with alcohol markers. Then fussy cut it leaving a small white border. For paper I'm using a 12X12 paper pad called Pumpkin Spice from Paper Smart. I cut a few of the paper a created my background. For the hearts I die cut it with a few stackable stitches hearts from MFT. For embellishes I used my white pen, adhesive a few gold sequins and added glossy accent. To finish I stamped this adorable sentiment called "Welcome Fall" and colored with alcohol markers, LOVE IT!

Hay Ride

 Howdy - MichelleO here today, we had a little teaser of cooler weather here in Texas last week. I got all inspired to pull out the Fall colors and images!! This High Hopes Stamps image "Hay Ride" is just too much fun to color!

I just adore these country farm images from High Hopes Stamps... Can't you just see how much fun that chicken is having on this hay ride? I colored with my Copics (colors below) and shaded with a few pencils. For my papers I found some My Minds Eye printed kraft papers that just were too yummy with a Fall card. The layers are sewn down with both straight and zig zag stitches. I love how the image pops on the soft printed papers. For the sentiment I found High Hopes Stamps "Welcome Fall". LOVE this "sign" sentiment. If I thought it would work I would hang out a sign to welcome the cooler weather to stay! 

Copic colors used - 

You just must pop over to High Hopes Stamps and see all the fun! I first fell in love with the country farm images at High Hopes Stamps, but honestly there is something for everyone, every need!

Thank you - 

Welcome Fall

 Fall is in the air where I live. We have had a few cool nights and the days are getting shorter. It is my favourite season as I love the cooler temperatures, sweaters, Thanksgiving, changing leaves and I get to wear my favourite pair of horse slippers <smile>.

I have some help welcoming fall from "Thankful Friends" and the "Welcome Fall" sign sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. How cute are these two buds! They are perfect for your fall and Thanksgiving themed cards.

I coloured this cute pair with alcohol markers, hand fussy cut them and after running a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed set them aside.

I stepped out of my comfort zone with the flower background paper as I usually like a more plain background but this patterned paper from Simple Stories was just calling to be used for this stamp and sentiment. Love the fall colours in this paper! 

I cut some polaroid dies to put behind them and added some matching yellow paper in the "photo holes". There were a few scraps of patterned paper left when I trimmed my background piece so I fussy cut some of the flowers out of it for embellishments. The sentiment is "hung" on the frame edge with a brad from my stash.

The stamp was added with some 3D foam pop dots to add some dimension to the card. Some matching ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card and all the paper edges are inked with a matching ink.
