Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog - Guest Spot!

Hello Coffee Lovers, I'm so excited to be Guesting over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today!

When I first saw this stamp set in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. store, I had to have it!  I think this stamp and die set, Pumpkin Cup by Impression Obsession, is absolutely darling!  One of my new faves for fall!

I started by Copic coloring, then die cutting all the images. I adhered a fall patterned paper by Bo Bunny that I had in my stash to an A2 sized card base. Then I cut out a scalloped rectangle in a copper color using Scallop Die by Neat & Tangled. and a creme colored rectangle for under the images. I assembled my pumpkin cup and all the little extras like the candy corn, cinnamon sticks and whipped cream on top!

Lastly I added some Studio Katia Gold Foiled Confetti and May Arts Natural Burlap String to finish off my card! Thank you for stopping by, I hope you've enjoyed my project as much as I've enjoyed creating and sharing it with you!

Cards with Friends - Papertrey Ink Fall Themed

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!  Today I'm bringing you a few projects using Papertrey Ink products!

My very good and super talented friend, Veronica Zalis and I were talking about a month back about some Papertrey Ink products we'd seen and how we felt inspired by their beauty!  So with that, we decided to do a tiny blog hop together called, "Cards with Friends"!  So please hop on over to Veronica's blog So Many Stamps So Little Time, and check out her gorgeous fall projects using Papertrey Ink products!

Now, onto my creations!  For this first card, I used a fall set that I believe came out last year, and I couldn't resist coloring up these ADORABLE Autumn Scarecrow Stamp and die set.  All images were copic colored. Paper is by Bo Bunny from the Enchanted Harvest Collection, which is sadly retired..but hopefully you've got some in your stash!

My second card was made with brand new fall releases Forest Floor Autumn Stamp Set and Dies, along with Words To Live By Gratitude Die.  I started by inking an A2 sized panel with Forest Moss and Crushed Olive Distress Ink.  I die cut the Embroidered Frames Dots Die and centered it over my inked panel.  From there, I created a busy forest floor scene using the mushrooms, leaves and acorns! Now truthfully, I think this may have gotten a bit busy, but that's how things grow in the wild, so I honestly ended up loving it and wanted to share!  I added glossy drops using Glossy Accents and Gold Foil Confetti by Studio Katia.

Veronica and I have decided we want to continue inspiring one another using products we both love...so make sure and stay tuned.  Thanks for visiting, I hope you'll leave a comment and let me know what you think of my projects using Papertrey Ink products!

Pure Innocence by MFT Sending Blessings

Hello everyone, Amanda here, I hope you're enjoying your weekend!  Today I wanted to share a card I made using a recently release Pure Innocence stamp/die set by MFT called, Sending Blessings I inked the background hill in Pumice Stone and the clouds in Iced Spruce. (both Distress Inks by Ranger). I used 2 MFT stencils to do this, Mini Cloud Edges and Drifts and Hills. I love using these for easy scene creators, so check them out in the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop! 

I Copic colored and die cut all the images to arrange my scene. I used patterned paper from the PhotoPlay Fall Breeze paper pack. for a few layers under my colored scene.

I added some Stickles glitter to the leaves, heat embossed the sentiment in white and cut out that little banner on brown cardstock.

I hope you've enjoyed my project, make sure you check out the new products over at  Butterfly Reflections Ink shop!
