Another Recap of One Of My Favorite Fall/Halloween Digis

Tweet

Hi everyone!

The other day I showed you some of my favorite Fall cards that I created with my Autumn Blessings digi stamp.
Today I am going to share another.

These projects were created with my Autumn Friends digi.

It comes in line art only

or

Pre-colored with digital papers. I also created a bonus with this set...3 fun ready to print squares that work great for treat bags, tags, or cards. :)

Here is an example of the treat bags. These were a major hit last Halloween at our house! :)

*** NOTE*** Click on any of the projects below to go to the original posts for details.

Here is another way to use the Pre-colored Autumn Friends digi and papers for a Halloween treat. 
What a great teacher gift! :)

Here is a fun little gift card.

The following cards were all done with the line art only version of my Autumn Friends digi and hand colored my yours truly. :)

This card was published in the September 2011 issue of CardMaker magazine. :)

If you would like my Autumn Friends digi, it's available for instant download from Clear Dollar Stamps.
Just $3.00 for the line art only version and $4.00 for the pre-colored with digital papers and bonus ready to print squares. :)

Thanks for dropping by today!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Picadilly Paper Pieced Pumpkin

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I dare ya to say the title 5 times fast!  ;)

I'm playing along with the girls in today's F4A81 challenge over @ Split Coast Stampers.

We were asked to paper piece our image. I used the "Autumn Blessings" stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps and some Basic Grey "Picadilly" paper.

I stamped the image on Brilliant White cardstock from Discount Card Stock, then again on the Picadilly paper form their Card Kit. I then shaded the pumpkin with Prismacolor watercolor pencils then colored the rest of the image.

I used the "Autumn Blessings" clear stamp because I had it handy, but this image is also available for instant download! Why wait? ;)

Buy "Autumn Blessings" digi for just $2.50!

 

 I used lots of Ranger Ink, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Helmar, and other company's products to create my card.

My Papertake Weekly Special Guest DT challenge card.

Tweet

Hello All!
I am very excited!

I was asked to join the girls over @ Papertake Weekly Challenge blog as their special Guest Designer for a month!

This is the first card I did for their challenges, one of which starts today, and is "Autumn Skies" theme.
Use autumn colors...gold, reds, browns etc.

I used the digi stamp that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps called "Autumn Blessings" to create this card.

It is so fun and easy to color, I find myself using it often!
One of the many awesome things about digis is you can get them instantly! You would still have tons of time to whip up some Thanksgiving place cards or napkin rings and wow your guests!
See my napkin ring sample HERE.

You can download the set instantly for just $2.50 by clicking the picture below. :)

I used Moss Swirls, one of my all time favorite ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I also used Sage Green Vintage Brads and Amber Gem Stickers from Creative Charm's ~ "Fabulous Fall" Kit of the Month set.

BTW...If you have not signed up for my birthday blog candy, sponsored by Wild Orchid Crafts, CLICK HERE to go to that post. Candy entries close at midnight Central Time on Nov. 17th...my birthday!  ;)

I hope you will head on over to Papertake Weekly and have a peek at the fabulous projects the other girls have prepared for you. Who knows....you just might be inspired to join us! :)

Hugs,

True :D

Quick Thanksgiving Napkin Ring With my "Autumn Blessings" digi

Tweet

Hello and HaPpY MoNdAy!!!

I needed to find some napkin rings to match my new tablecloth and napkins for Thanksgiving. Didn't find any I liked and being the crafter that I am...I made them!

They whipped up so fast and easy that I will probably start making napkin rings for all of my parties!

I started with the "Autumn Blessings" digi stamp that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

Get an instant download for just $2.50 HERE.

Don't forget to add the free digi of the month to your cart while you are there.

It's illustrated by the awesome Laurie Wilson.

You just can't beat 2 sets for $2.50!!! ;)

The wonderful thing about digis is you can resize them to however big or small you need. I needed them to fit inside Clear Dollar Stamp's new "Designer Labels" die.

I used 6" by 2 3/8" pieces of K&Co "Fall Leaves" paper and some Bazzill "Clover Swiss Dots" to make a band. I then punched holes in the label to run a piece of Really Reasonable Ribbon's "Moss Swirls" ribbon through.

I added some silk Fall leaves from the floral department of Hobby Lobby and the finishing touch is that beautiful "Fall Medley" leaf shaped gem from Creative Charm's November "Fabulous Fall" Kit of The Month.

By the way...There has been such a demand for Creative Charm's "Falling For Fall"  Deal of the Month that Midori has released it a week early!

You get 128 Pieces for $6.99 (Regular $18.43)

· Orange Sheer Flowers – 3 Pieces

· Red Sheer Flowers – 3 Pieces

· Orange Gem Brads (assorted sizes) – 12 Pieces
