Beauty & Joy

Hello & Happy Friday!

Hope everyone's Halloween was fun!

We did not have trick or treat here as it was rescheduled for tonight due to the bad weather.

So I guess this evening we will be handing candy out!

Now that the Halloween season is over it is time to move on with normal cards!

I have a pretty pack of Sympathy cards to share that I made for my customer's card order.

I used a new set called Beauty & Joy and is it ever a nice set!

I used the Baby Wipe Technique to color my leaves in Fall colors.

I just love the look it gives!

I also pulled out my Crushed Curry Gingham DSP as I love this paper!

My thoughts today...

After last nights storms.....our leaves might all be off the trees!

Those winds were crazy and thankfully I got all my outside stuff brought in.

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a fabulous day!!

Baby Wipe Technique

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Yesterday was a bit on the rainy, dreary side but it was a good day to start some house cleaning. My hubby had to work so it was a good opportunity to do that!

Today I have a card to share that I made with my stamp friends on Saturday.

It uses the Baby Wipe Technique which was very fun! I did this many years ago and recently seen it done again and so this card was born! 

This card is my favorite of them all because of the pretty Fall colors captured in the leaves from using the baby wipe technique! I pulled out the Copper Trim and tried trying a bow and I wasn't happy that my ends frayed every time I would cut them. So I thought I seen somewhere that it was said that the trim would pull apart like a mesh so that's what I did with it instead of a bow. I adhered it under my Happy Birthday Sentiment and loved the look of it! All the girls cards looked different because of the way the trim turned out. Since the trim is copper, I pulled out my Encore Metallic Copper Pad to stamp the veins of the leaves once the solid leaves dried. So happy with this card! It will be going to my sister in law in about 2 weeks! I hope she likes it!

Happy Birthday Card:

Stamps: Colorful Seasons, Rose Wonder (sentiment)

Ink: Reinkers- Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze & Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Encore Metallic Copper 

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Sticthed Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots, Copper Trim, Baby Wipes, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

After doing this one...I am going to try something similar for Christmas!

I think the girls will love that!
