DCWV October Stackaholic Challenge Layout

Happy Thursday crafty friends,
Hope your day is going well! I wanted to share the layout I created for the October DCWV Stackaholic template challenge.

Here’s a look at my completed layout. I used the DCWV Neon Chic Stack for the green background paper. The DCWV Fall & Halloween Value Stack for the black multi-dot paper for the border. The Fall & Halloween Basics Stack for the black and orange heart paper for the picture mat. As this was for this month’s Stackaholic Template challenge, I followed along with the challenge.

Here’s a closer look at the cute little Kitty paper piecing from the PaperCraftingWorld.com  Carving Out Memories Cut file set. I did make a video on how I put him together. You can check it out HERE

Here’s a closer look at my trio of pumpkins. I did ink the edges of them slightly with my Autumn Terracotta mini ink pad from the Adventure Ink Pad set. You can also see in this shot a closer look at the cute little border of ric rac I added. I love to add ribbon and textile to my layouts where I can. Gives them a nice dimension.

This is a closer look at the candy border. I started with a strip of purple paper and then punched the edges with my Martha Stewart Punch. I then cut out several pieces of candy in different colors and then layered them on top of the border It was hard for me not to want to ink and chalk all these pieces, but I wanted to keep them simple and I didn’t have as much time. So I thought they would be good just the way they are.

This is a closer look at the cute little journaling tag. I added a bow of sheer purple ribbon and a cute little button. This a perfect spot for some journaling. The tag came from the DCWV Fall & Halloween tag set. When I went looking for the Eek a Boo stack almost a couple of weeks ago. Although it says halloween, the nice bright colors of assorted tags would work perfectly for so many other occasions…including birthdays. So I figured, I couldn’t go wrong with picking them up.

Scarecrow Boy Card With DCWV Fall-Halloween Stack

scarecrow boy dcwv-490f
Happy Monday crafty friends,
Hope you had an enjoyable weekend. I stressed myself out trying to create a costume for my grandson. I am convinced I am NOT a seamstress. It was a HOT MESS! Needless to say, I am still working on it and IF I can get something presentable done, I will share it with you. In the meantime, I needed to get back to the sanity of my beloved paper crafting. So here is what I have to share with you today.

Here’s a look at my finished card. The base is made from Kraft cardstock and measures 5 x 6.5”. I then cut a mat from cream cardstock. The patterned papers are all from the DCWV Fall and Halloween Basics Stack. This stack is an 8.5 x 11 stack and not the usual 12 x 12 stacks I use. But I really liked the patterns on this one and it was on sale at Joann’s so…I couldn’t pass it up!!!

I followed along with this month’s DCWV Stackaholic Challenge. Here is the sketch.

Here’s a closer look at my cute little pumpkin die cut. He came from the Carving out Memories SVG set from PCW.  The leaves are from the CTMH stamp Set Fall Harvest stamp set. I used the matching Fall Harvest Leaves SVG set. I created a video on how to stamp and ink these leaves. To check that out, CLICK HERE

Here’s a closer look at the cute little scarecrow boy sitting digi I used. Also from PCW. I used my various Copic Sketch Markers to color Him in. He was on plain white paper so I used my Pebbles Pastel Chalks to add some subtle color to the background. It warmed up the background just enough to match the cream in the patterned papers and the cream mat. I inked the edge of the image with my Chestnut Roan Cat’s eye.

Here is one last look at the card. I added some gold sequins to finish off the card and all done.

Cute Fall Fun Crow Layout

Happy Friday crafty friends,
Today I wanted to share a layout I created with some cute crow paper piecing files from papercraftingworld.com.

Here’s a look at my completed layout. This one is a bit different than other layouts I have done in the past as it doesn’t have a title on it. I had certain pictures in mind and needed more photo and journaling spots. I had made this layout a couple of years ago and actually made kits out of it. I just never got around to creating a cut file set for it. For the base of the layout I used some Bazzill cardstock. The patterned paper was from some old Bo Bunny.

Here’s a closer look at one of the crows. I edged the black pieces with some white, dry, decorator chalks. I inked the edges of her beak and feet with some Autumn Terracotta Cat's Eye chalk inks.

Here’s the cute crow sitting on the fence. I used some Stickles for the centers of the flowers and inked the edges of the petals again with some chalk ink. I used my Versamarker pen to add the detailed lines on the fence.
