Scarecrow Boy Card With DCWV Fall-Halloween Stack

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.

Here’s the paper piecing cut file set. You can get it: HERE

Well, that about covers it for today. As always, thank you so much for sharing your crafty time with me. Be sure to come back again as I have another funtastic fall project to share! Until then,

DCWV Sweater Weather Stack & CTMH Stamp W SVG Grateful Card

Hello crafty friends, Hope your weekend was a great one.  Over the weekend, I worked on this fun card I am sharing with you. So let’s get started.

To create this card I used one of the newer DCWV Stacks called the Sweater Weather Stack. The patterned paper and the main sentiment are from this stack. I created a video showing you how I created this card.

Closer look at the embossed layer. I used a Darice embossing folder.  Darice Fall Background.

Closer look at the cute little gold sequins from CTMH. I added them to the pre-printed sentiment that came in the DCWV Sweater Weather stack.

Closer look at the leaves. They are the Fall Harvest stamp set from CTMH. I created matching SVGcut files for them. I stamped the die cuts with my stamp and then used different inks to give them color. You can watch my video on this technique.

Here’s a closer look at the other stamps. I also created the matching border on my card.

This is a look at the inside of the card. The dark paper I used is also from the stack. It has a nice pattern to it, you just can’t see it in the photo too well.

Here’s one last look at the finished card.
