Happy Fall Y'all!

Today is the first day of fall so I'd like to celebrate with a fall card.  I was playing with my Nuance powders from Magenta and made a beautiful background that reminded me of fall leaves changing colours, so I wen through my stamps to find an image that would go with a fall theme.  I picked this super cute Tawny from CC Designs Pollycraft by Paula.  I just love their little images, they are so cute.

I stamped the image out in Black Licorice MFT Hybrid Ink and coloured it up using Peerless Water Colours.  I love the bright colours that you can achieve with these water colours and they are so fast and easy to use.

The saying is from a CC Designs AmyR set called Happy Harvest.  Those AmyR sentiments are the best for cards and more.

To finish off the card front I wrapped some black embroidery thread around and tied a bow, added some acrylic leaves and popped up the image on foam tape.  I will be sharing this card in more detail on my YouTube channel later this week.

Happy Fall to everyone!!

Happy Papercrafting!

I received this super cute CC Designs - Polly Craft stamp called Russell from Jamie the owner at Not2Shabby.  He is so stinkin' adorable that I had to ink him up right away!

Here is the card that I made along with the copic colours I used to colour him.  Check out my youtube channel for a close up look.

And run over to Not2Shabby to get your own Russell - right now she has a fall card kit that includes the stamp, paper, burlap and embellishments.  If you spend $40 from the US you can get free shipping by using the code FREESHIPUS or if you are international and spend $50 use the code INTL3OFF for $3 off your purchase.

Happy Papercrafting!

DT for Not2Shabby - Center Step Cards

For my DT project this week for Not2Shabby I wanted to try my hand at some center step cards. I love how they turned out.

My first card is with Bumble Bee Marci from LalaLand Crafts which unfortunately is sold out at the time and I also used some new LalaLand Crafts dies.  Lattice Doily Border and Lattice Border - they are awesome!

In both of these cards I used the Prima Something Blue paper collection and some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which you can purchase at Jamie's shop.  Don't forget to use my coupon code "SARAH" for an additional 10% off your purchase - this code will only be available until the end of August and then Jamie will be re-introducing the free shipping codes.

My second card is with a CC Designs stamp which you can get in the Not2Shabby shop - Latte Kiki La Rue.  I stamped her out on watercolour paper and used my Tim Holtz markers - love them!!

Here is the Copic colours I used on Marci. 

And I just have to share how needy our cat Cheesecake was this weekend.  She would not get out of my craft space, but she is so cute!  She actually push her way right into the corner of my desk behind my tools.  And then when I had my laptop out trying to catch up on some YouTube videos then she pushed herself behind it which really wasn't that much space - crazy cat!

Happy Papercrafting!
