Acorn Border

Good morning folks!  Here is another one of McMahon Five fabulous digital designs.  This one is called (aptly) Acorn Border and if you are interested in purchasing it, you can find it here.
To create my border, I first colored the acorns and leaves using my Stampin' Up! markers then embossed the whole border using versamark and clear embossing powder. I then cut it out to create a border for my quote. The little scroll is from one of the new Spellbinders die called Twisted Metal Tags and Accents.  Keep an eye out for this one, it has some very cool dies included.
thanks for visiting!

Cornucopia

Todays card features another digital image from McMahon Five Designs, aptly named Cornucopia.  I colored the image using my water pen and chalk inks from Stampin' Up! I then cut the image out with my Big Shot using Spellbinders Label 16 and inking the inside with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I then layered this on top of another die called Lattice Shapeabilities Pendant from Spellbinders.  The top background paper is from K & Company and the bottom is from Bazzill that was stamped using one of my favorite back ground stamps from Stampin' Up! with versamark.  The bow is from Celebrate It and for the last detail, three black dew drops.
That's it for now.
Thanks for stopping in :-)

HI

Good morning!  Happy September, can you believe it!  Where in the world has this year gone!!?  Life is passing by so quickly, I must remember to slow down and maybe just watch the clouds go by once in awhile.
Today's card is a little different than my usual and I love it!  I started out with Spellbinders Beaded Circles die cut twice to create the card base.  I inked it up with some SU ink in blue.  I cut a double circle out of the polka-dot paper (Flocked Dot Rouge Paperie by MakingMemories) to make a frame around the white card stock that had been run through the Big Shot with Swiss Dots from Cuttlebug.  I added some red pom pom trim and inked up the HI using the same blue SU ink.  I then used Martha's butterfly punch and punched out the three yellow butterflies.  I applied glossy accents to both sides which made them very sturdy and very pliable. I punched out three circles from the polka-dot paper and ta-da ~ A cute card! :-)
