Happy Fall,Y'all

Scarecrow and Jack is one of the first images I picked when I joined QKR Stampede last year. I have used this image several times and never get tired of the image.

I found this fun plaid paper in my scrap stash, can you believe I never used it?
I added a piece of felt as a ribbon trim- and cut several leaves with my MS punches.
Happy Fall Y'all  is a sentiment from Eureka Stamps,there are several sentiments available at QKR Stampede but I just liked the way this sentiment worked with the image.

Did you know QKR Stampede has two other stamp companies available with various images?
Eureka Stamps
Biblical Impressions
Hope you pop in and check out all the images available in rubber stamps and many in digital.

Fall is on the way.

This month our Eureka! Stamps Blog Hop had a fall theme, so I thought I would carry that theme on. 

This is one of the first Eureka! Stamps that I ordered.  As soon as I saw it, it went onto my wish list.

I have two cards to show you today that I made with the

"Tree Losing Leaves" (#34502)  image.

I stamped the image with VersaMark, applied Sticky Powder, heated and then applied Gold Leaf.  You can find a tutorial on this process here.

I cut around the image and layered it onto some card stock from my scrap stash and then onto the black paper with gold stars.  This then went onto a white card stock card base.

Inside I used a the lovely "When I See" (#34902) greeting.

I think this is such a beautiful and loving greeting!

Layering it onto black card stock really makes it stand out.

This 2nd card I used the same process and made it with blue card stock and layered it onto a white card stock base then cut around it giving the card a bit of a different look.

Eureka! Stamps has many wonderful fall images to choose from. Whether it is for a birthday, encouragement, Thanksgiving card or whatever occasion, there are many lovely images to use.  So hop on over to the Eureka! Stamps shop and see what you can find that you like.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Leave a comment if you like and come back soon to see more inspiration from our Design Team.

Fall Is Coming

Fall is finally on it's way thank goodness. I love making fall cards and decorating for fall as well. This stamp Autumn Corner from Biblical Impressions is perfect for that. You can also find some great fall stamps at QKR Stampede and Eureka Stamps as well

Fall Coasters

Hi there! I hope you are having a nice start to your week this week. So far I am surviving. I officially have all 3 of the girls in school. It is a happy and sad event all at once. I am dealing with my "loneliness" by using my time to do projects! I have a whole big to do list of projects that have been neglected due to having small children in the house, and of course I will be doing some quality crafting...lol. Speaking of crafting, I wanted to share a project today using some wedding favors. We went to a wedding in late July, and the favors were coasters. So I thought it would be fun to make some fall themed coasters. Here is the set of 4 I made. I started by picking out some fall papers from CTMH set I have. I cut them to fit the little slide in spot on the back of the coaster. Then I used the Lg. Acorn stamp from Biblical Impressions. I stamped with Versamark, and embossed the acorn with copper embossing powder. Then I simply slide the papers into the back of the coasters. Here is a close up of the 2 different styles.

Very simple, but what a fun fall decor item for the house. Well that is all for now. Be sure to check out the Eureka Stamps Blog hop from yesterday too! Trust me it is great!

Taking Notes

The weather in Germany can not decide, it is warm or cold. There are days when it only rains on the next the sun is shining and it is equal to extremely hot. But the way it looks, it goes to the fall, it is dark and early morning when I go to work, it is still dark.
I like it when it is bright and warm.
If it is wet outside, you have no conscience when sitting in the room and card tinkering.

At today's card a little mouse, you can see who wants to take notes. Is not the little cute?
The image is from shop QKR-Stampede. His name is "Taking Notes".
You can buy it as rubber stamp or digi-stamp.
Even the flowers are there at QKR-Stampede.

I colored the image with watercolor pencils and I wiped with terpentine.

Have a nice day
