Totally Trees for What Will You Stamp?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Welcome to my blog and the not so scary stamp set Totally Trees for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  My card share today is a trio of trees with the beautiful colors of fall.  

I stamped the trees in Soft Suede and used a baby wipe technique to add color to the leaves.  I folded 2 baby wipes into a square and used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi ink refills to create a multi-colored stamp pad by placing drops of those colors onto the baby wipes and slightly overlapping them so no white space showed.  I then used this multi-colored stamp pad to stamp the leaves.  After the trees were completed I added the grass and gently sponged Soft Sky onto the background.  

The Woodland embossing folder was used on the Whisper White mat and then everything was mounted onto Gold Foil Sheets.

This is such a versatile set that has so many trees to choose from.

You need this stamp set in your collection!!!

It's going to be interesting to see what everyone else at WWYS has created this week so make sure to go back there to check it out.

Lovely as a Tree for What Will You Stamp?

Week 39 at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog has finally brought us to the beautiful Lovely as a Tree stamp set.  This set has been in the Stampin' Up! catalog for as long as I can remember and is still a favorite among customers and demonstrators and I hope it never goes away. 

My image piece was created by stamping ink pads directly onto an acrylic block, then spritzing the block with water and stamping on Whisper White.  I actually used Blackberry Bliss ink but once it mixed with the Marina Mist it came out looking more like Rich Razzleberry so that is what I used for the card base.  Once the piece was dry I stamped the trees and trimmed to the size I wanted.  I hope you like the way it turned out.

 Check out all the beautiful images in this set and you will see why it is so popular.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the other Design Team members at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog have created this week.

Among the Branches for What Will You Stamp?

Hello and Welcome!!!  It is Week 34 over at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and my share today is a simple little card using the sentiment "Making Spirits Bright" which is embossed in silver.  I also added three silver ornaments to the trees to brighten things up in the forest.  

 

I love the fact that this stamp set has images that can be used for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The stamp set and the Woodland Embossing Folder can be purchased as a bundle at a 15% savings.

I'm anxious to see what everyone else on the Design Team at What Will You Stamp? has to share today.  I hope you will play along with us also.  Make a card using this stamp set and upload it to the WWYS Challenge Blog with a link to your blog and you could win a chance to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge.  It's as simple as that.

Happy Scenes for the JAX Starz Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the JAX Starz Blog Hop.  This month our challenge was simply to create a card with a fall theme.  You might just be starting the blog hop here or you may have come from Rose Ann Marr's blog, but however you got here make sure to check out the blog hop lineup below to see all of the projects created for you.

I used Happy Scenes from the 2015 Holiday Catalog as the focal point for my card.  I love all the vignettes that come in this stamp set but since our theme was fall I had to use the almost bare tree with the trio of pumpkins.

My image piece was stamped in black Stazon on watercolor paper and then colored with an Aqua Painter and several different colors which are detailed in the Product List below.  Isn't that Woodland embossing folder the best?!!!  How could I not use it on my card?!!!

 

I hope you'll continue on with the blog hop...following is the lineup for you to follow along.
