Turkey Candybars!

Hi everyone. Today I want to show you some fun Turkey party favors. These are really simple and you can look through your paper punches and dies to find things you already own to make them. I talk about several possibilities in my video:

For this version I used the Ladybug punch for the turkey body and feathers. The feet are from the retired Snowman punch but lots of other things would work, such as a little heart or branches. The beak is a petal from a flower.

I used Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Cherry Cobbler for the feathers and Pebbled Path for the body.

This second version used the Earthen Textures dies for the turkey feathers and the retired fish punch for the body.

Other great choices are the daisy punch or scalloped circles for feathers. The strawberry and penguin punches would both make good bodies too. There are always some fun punches on the Clearance rack, be sure to check it every so often for some great deals.

Painted Pheasant stamp set

Hi everyone! Today I am working with the Painted Pheasant stamp set. I keep wanting to call it the Pleasant Pheasant! Did we used to sell one called that?

I really like the painted look of this stamp set. I used multiple colors of markers to ink up the pheasant, then lightly spritzed it with water to before stamping the image onto Shimmery White cardstock.

The marker colors I used are Cajun Craze, Shaded Spruce, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso markers.

For the background I stamped random leaved with Crumb Cake ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock. The strip of Cajun Craze patterned paper is from the He's the Man Designer Series Paper.

To make the pheasant stand out, I cut the panel out with Deckled Rectangle dies, leaving the tail feathers out. I had to use the partial cut technique to do this. Watch my how to video here:

Soft Seedlings stamp set with Sponging Technique

Hi everyone! Today I am thinking fall with the Soft Seedlings stamp set. I love fall, it's my favorite season, and I always look for the new 'Leaf set' when the new mini catalog comes out. Sometimes the new leaf set is a big one with lots of leaves and dies, sometimes it's whimsical, sometimes realistic, but there is always a new leaf set and I always get it!

This year the set is soft and pretty. The images are delicate without bold solid lines. I love the way it stamps. I knew that the first card I made with it would have to be fall colored with reds and yellows. I decided to stamp with Cherry Cobber, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede.

The card Base is Very Vanilla Thick, stamped along the edge with the seed pod stamp. I then added another layer of Very Vanilla, trimmed with a strip of Brushed Metallic foil in copper, for the main leaf image.

To get multiple colors on my image, I used sponge daubers to ink up the stamp.

I really wanted to use the new "Cut Leaf Labels and Amber Gems Combo Pack" so I added a leaf under the sentiment and some Gems around the main image.

The sentiment is embossed in copper and layered on a scrap of Brushed Metallic foil in copper. I punched the end of the sentiment pieces with the Banners Pick a Punch. A little bit of linen thread for a bow completed the card.

A few more samples with the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set

I can't seem to stop making cards with the Pretty Pumpkin stamp set from Stampin' Up! I love fall, and I love coloring, so this set just really speaks to me.

I used Designer Series Paper from the Harvest Meadow pack for my background, then added a detailed die pumpkin in Brushed Metallic paper behind my main image panel, which was cut with dies from the Scalloped Contour Dies Collection (sort of a must have for me lately!)

The Pumpkins were colored in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. The ribbon is a retired Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim. Be sure to check the Clearance Rack at the Stampin' Up! store because occasionally you can find some great ribbon and embellishments in our Stampin' Up! colors at nice discounts.

This next card is mostly copied from the Stampin' Up! catalog. I love to watercolor so adding the Splatter background was super fun.

I wet a piece of watercolor paper with my brush, then splattered ink in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry. Once the paper was dry, I splattered a little bit again to get some darker spots.

This next pair used softer colors of Pale Papaya and Old olive. I used a piece of Expressions in Ink designer series paper for the background.

The insides feature a small image of a pumpkin vine and plenty of room to write a nice greeting.

I hope my Pretty Pumpkins cards inspire you to think of fall and who you might be thankful for. I did not make a video for the cards in today's post as I usually do, but you can see a lot of my Pretty Pumpkins card videos on my YouTube channel to get ideas for using the set and ways to color the images.
