Let's talk trash

I also inked another smaller panel that I will use for the sentiment. I then die cut the panel with the Charming Flora Cover die.

No tricks, just treats

I'm totally in the Fall and Halloween mood at the moment, so for my new  @pearblossompress project I pulled these cute trick and treaters from @hellobluebird.stamps and combined them with the @concordand9th Door decor die set. I initially wanted to light up all the pumpkins on this card, but I also wanted to keep the gatefold feature so I decided to light up the cute fox bucket with the One light from the Halo light combo pack and I actually love that it confirms him as the main character and focal point on this card. Products: Halo light combo pack and World's best foam tape (Pear Blossom Press) Door decor die set (Concord & 9th) Peek-a-boo and Candy crew (Hello Bluebird stamps) Boo balloon (Lil' Inker) Happy Halloween (The Stamp Market) Distress oxides: Old paper, Mowed lawn, Vintage photo, Carved pumpkin, Crackling campfire and Lumberjack plaid #pearblossompress #hellobluebirdstamps #concordand9th #cardmaking #handmadecards #cardmakingofinstagram #diecutting #interac

Heartfelt blooms

This week, I'm sharing another project for @alexsyberiadesigns featuring the gorgeous Heartfelt blooms and Sweet Friends Alex Syberia Designs Products: Heartfelt blooms stamp set Heartfelt blooms stencil set Love die Sweet Friend stamp and die Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold, Wild honey, Spiced Marmalade, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon   Stenciling the same image behind a stamped image is a great way to give depth to a one layer background. This is what I did in this project, starting by stamping the beautiful Heartfelt blooms with black ink. I also stamped the image 3 more times on masking paper. I fussy cut the masks and placed the first one over the stamped blooms. I then used the Heartfelt blooms stencil set to create 3 more blooms in the background and fill in gaps, with Distress inks: - Stencil 1: Dried Marigold - Stencil 2: Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed - Stencil 3: Wild honey - Stencil 4: Salvaged Patina - Stencil
