Fall Glass Block

My friend, Sheryl, is quite proficient with her Cricut Explore.  While I make cards, Sheryl creates many home décor items.  Her latest is this glass block pumpkin.  (The only things I ever made with vinyl and my Cricut were ornaments with vinyl names on them.)  When Sheryl shared this pretty pumpkin glass block, I had to share with you.  After cutting the pumpkin using Oracal vinyl, Sheryl then had the patience to weed out all of the unnecessary pieces.  After successfully adhering the pumpkin to the glass block, she added lights to the inside of the block and tied it up with pretty ribbon.  I purchased a glass block a couple of years ago and that is as far as I got with making a home décor glass block! Maybe one day.  Have a great day!

Little Halloween Crate

Quick and easy to make, this little crate can be filled with a variety of Halloween treats.  After die cutting the crate and putting it together, it was time to decorate.  Couldn't be easier to decorate than this: punch the cat; cut the pumpkin (Spooky Nights DSP); and adhere to crate!  Filled cellophane bags with mellowcreme pumpkins and tied the bag with orange, black and purple ribbon.  Cute little favors!  Have a great day!

Sympathy Jar of Love

Over the weekend  I was playing with the Jar of Love stamp set.  While just playing, I made today's pretty card.  I used Rich Razzleberry cardstock and ink and Garden Green ink, stamped off once.  After stamping the leaves,  I die cut the oval (retired).  After adhering the flowers, I then adhered the layer to a Rich Razzleberry oval.  The white background layer was embossed using the new Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.  Once again, for my purposes, I did not need to dampen the cardstock first.  The embossing is just deep enough without the water.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set, one of the sets that will be kept for a long, long time.  Have a great day!

Basket For Fall

Today's card was created after watching a video by Bobbie of The Paper Jungle.  The basket is from Stampin' Up's Basket of Wishes stamp set.  The foliage and flowers were created using images from Jar of Love.  I colored the basket with two Spectrum Noir markers.  I liked the idea of combining the two stamp set to make this pretty Fall card.  There is space left for embellishments or a sentiment.

Speaking of markers, Stampin' Up is re-introducing alcohol markers.  In the beginning they will be available to demonstrators only.  After a while, they will be available to all.  Since I have both Copics and Spectrum Noirs, I am taking a pass on SU's new markers.  But when demonstrators start giving  their reviews, I will pass the information on.  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!
