We have 4 new stamp sets for this release and 2 new die sets designed by our own design team member Leah !

Today we are showcasing Rudy Stamp Set & In Line Dies Set

I made a krafty Christmas card ,lol. I decided to stamp my singing Rudy on kraft cardstock to give him a bit of a different setting than my usual white based cards . I really like how the Copic reds show up on kraft . I had to add a bow ( me and bows and sequins ,lol) with a bit of jingle from these adorable little bells .

Here are the specials for this release:

Happy Monday everyone !!

Today is the start of our second week of

I LOVE Autumn and the beautiful colors the season brings !

I was inspired by the colors ,

I used them for my card .

I couldn't wait to use this adorable little scarecrow image again

(after I made him into a zombie/Frankenstein)

which you can find here if you would like to see .

I colored in my image and leaves using Copics ,

I tried to stay as close as possible to the colors

in the inspiration photo .

Happy Sunday everyone !!!

Wow.... this month sure is flying by !
Especially with there being 6 birthdays this month
(2 of my sons, my sisters, my brother in law , my nephew and my niece ) !

I wanted to stop by and share this set of cards
I created after being super inspired by the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge .

I really love the inspiration board !

I created these cards using the pumpkins from CDD stamps
(love these pumpkin images ) .

I wanted to use my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color these in .

I ended up liking the Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey

combination.

For my purple leaves I used Seedless Preserves and Black Soot mixed .

For the second card I used my Copics
(the one with the purple layer) .

I am having fun with these quick little cards .

I hope you are enjoying my take on the inspiration photo .

Thank you so much for stopping by !

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !

Happy Thursday everyone !

Hope that October has been off to a good start for everyone !

I wanted to stop by and share these fun cards

I made using Craftin' Desert Divas

Autumn Wishes stamp set cute little scarecrow image :

I thought of making him into a zombie version (according to me ,lol) ...but after I was finished it sort of looks like a Frankenstein scarecrow instead lol !!! Let's just say it was fun coloring him and creating a mini scene .
