Fall Blessings

I love Fall for its gorgeous colors.  I just planted some mums at a home we are putting on the market.  It was where I lived before my hubby and I got married, I wanted it to look welcoming after being a rental home for 17 years! So my card today features the Daisy Die Set only layered and shaped it to look like a mum! 

  Using the new Wood Grain Background Builder by Whimsie Doodles stamped on a Polka Dot Rectange backdrop die cut which was then layered onto Chocolate WorldWin card stock cut with the Basic Rectangle Backdrop die, for the card, I then cut the Polka Dot Circle layered with the next smaller one to make the circle wreath. Added leaves from the Leaves & Petals die set, the daisy made into a mum and a Banner die cut stamped with the sentiment from Autumn Blessings stamped with Ranger Archival Ink in Wendy Vecchi Signature color ~  Potting Soil.  I used Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam squares to pop up the mum and the ends of the banner for more dimension.

Introducing Sam E. Snowman!

Jillian wanted a shaker Snowman die so. . .

Introducing Sam E. Snowman!

In collaboration with Melyssa from Whimsie Doodles we created a darling shaker snowman with many options!    The longer scarf piece doubles as his hat band, you can add holly, a star or a snowflake to his hat or surroundings.  Use the button for his belly and you can make it a shaker card using the inner circle die OR just a plain snowman with no cut out like Jillian did in this blog post.  The inner circle will leave stitching on the negative cut of his body to give a special accent to your shaker card.

Using Simply Snowflakes Stamp Set, I stamped my Polka Dot Backdrop Die cut out of navy cardstock with Ranger Embossing Ink then using Frosted White embossing powder heat set.  I wanted a frosty chalkboard look so I just rubbed chalk over those embossed snowflakes! Then taking a dry cloth, lightly rubbed over it to show more of the navy background.

To learn how to create a shaker card, go to the A Jillian Vance Design Blog for more details HERE!

You can see the stitching around the shaker part of the snowman.  I also used Want2Scrap Baby Bling in Black for his eyes.

 Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares, I popped up the banner and the holly leaves from the Holly & Swirls Die Set

The sentiment is from a new set to be released ~ Frosty. Frosty has great snowman sentiments as well as a primitive snowman to stamp as well.

I using the three smooth edged leaves, I cut 5 each in Red cardstock.

I then cut three berries from the  Holly & Swirls Die Set for the center.in yellow cardstock.

I used a Circle Backdrop for my base to glue the leaves to.  I arranged and layered to achieve the look of a poinsettia!   I added Glossy Accents to the entire flower as shown in the photo below.
