I choose Winter

I saw a beautiful candy cane 

love heart treat by fellow demonstrator and 

Stampin' Up! Artistan Design Team member Tami Hewlett

she had used real candy canes to create 

the treat I loved it and that 

was the inspiration behind my card today... 

Check out Tami's Blog here 

I stamped the two candy canes in Real Red ink 

with the Sweet Candy Canes

Stamp set, which I positioned to look like a heart,

I stamped foliage, leaves and holly 

from the Christmas Banners Stamp set with 

Evening Evergreen and Old Olive Ink.

everything I've used today is listed below.

I added the splats with some white ink 

and a paint brush dipped in water,

not forgetting the Brass coloured Flat Jingle Bell,

 a bow tied in Linen Thread with 

a few shimmery white Seasonal Sequins. 

Card Base - Crumb Cake Cardstock

Card layers - Crumb Cake and Real Red Cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves - Autumn card making

  

Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves - Autumn Card Making

Welcome to our Autumn Blog hop, we 

our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from 

all over the world sharing Card Making & Papercraft

ideas and inspiration using Stampin' Up! Products, you're 

currently with me Laura Mackie a Demonstrator from 

the United Kingdom 

I LOVE Autumn cosy dark nights, the

changing of the leaves, visiting our local 

Pumpkin Patch and yummy winter dinners. I love summer 

but nothing beats being in your PJ's by 5pm 

hehe dont judge me lol! 

and in my craft room by 7pm!

Here is the card I made

This card began by creating the background, 

I saw a cute card with cute Mice and 

gorgeous background on 

Instagram by Paper Pretty Boutique

her background was divine and instantly I wanted 

to try and recreate it, and this was the outcome,

Pale Papaya cardstock with Rich Razzleberry Ink 

and a Blending Brush

I then had no idea where my card was headed so reached for 

a new Stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

Gorgeous Leaves, 

I decided to stamp some leaves, to create the leaves

I used the Baby Wipe Technique with Reinkers

to create my own custom ink pad, this 

is how you get all those fab colours in one stamp!

I used reinkers in 

Pale Papaya

Rich Razzleberry

Bumblebee

Cajun Craze 

Crushed Curry

If you havent had a go making you own ink 

pad with the Baby Wipe Technique you 

definetly should, I lay two or three

folded Baby Wipes on top of each other

on to Clear Block E

then add generous drops of ink randomly!

I've tried to create the look of falling leaves, and added

a few little leaves stamped directly onto my background

My sentiment is heat embossed in white 

embossing powder onto 

Basic Black cardstock, Sentiment is from 

the Flowers of Friendship stamp set.

Champagne Rhinestones and a bow tied in Crumb Cake

Bakers Twine to finish, 

Card Base - Crumb Cake.

All the supplies I've used today

are listed below and available via my online shop

if your in the UK, France, Germany or Netherlands.

I hope our hop inspires you today and gets you ready

for those cosy crafty nights in!
