Gnomes for Harvester's

 While stamping in my Garage yesterday I finally finished the cards for Harvester's Food Pantry.  WHEW 150 Gnome cards....and I colored at least 60 of these little Gnomes in the Garage.  Snoopy loves Stamping in the Garage.....she can be outside and feel safe with me close by.......so weather permitting I will squeeze another day or two in at the end of the month!

Using current Toile Tidings paper on the Crumb Cake cards.  Stamped Gnomes on Very Vanilla and colored with Blends.  For these cards I am trimming in Rectangles to allow for quicker assembly.  Love this baby cutter as I slide the paper and make my pile of finished Gnomes....

Then add the Gnomes to the prepped card bases and a Merry Christmas sentiment from last months Paper Pumpkin!

And this Retired Blue shaded paper made some cute card bases with a more Trendy Gnome!

Ready to Deliver next week.  I hope these cards will brighten the Holidays for folks receiving Food Boxes in the coming weeks.  2020 has been a rough year for so many, grateful I can spread a bit of Cheer thru handmade cards.

Harvester's Stamping out Hunger!

Big thanks to Deb for her donation of 200 cards and Melissa for helping me stamp another 150 cards today!!  This is my third year stamping cards for Harvesters.  Such a rewarding cause to include a hand stamped card in the food boxes delivered by this Organization!

The Stamparatus is amazing when creating multiple cards!!  See this in action!  I stamped the Deer first, two stamps, same plate...boom!  Hand stamped the ground.  Added the Tree and inked up in Mossy Meadow.

Close the plate......

the stack goes so fast!  The dimension on this TREE is amazing.....a little heavy on the ink, remember to Tap, Tap those new ink pads!

And finally the sentiment in Real Red.

50 ready to fold and go.....

Here are the cute Snowmen we made today.....

Snowman and Greeting stamped with the Stamparatus.  Snowflakes random stamped and then fun coloring with markers!

Making Christmas Bright

I received several swaps using this adorable stamp set and punch.  Here is my card and the card that inspired me.

I used a Crumb Cake card base and added a Crumb Cake mat embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.  Drew the cord with a pen and added Punched Bulbs in Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.  Silver Foil for the sockets.

I added some Crumb Cake ink to the embossing folder to bring out the grain in the Pinewood planks.
Here is the Swap by Donna Olado using another sentiment from this stamp set. SO cute!!

Bubble Over Simple Card

Another gloomy chilly weekend and I had all kinds of items on my TO DO list, but with the Royals starting this week I decided to devote my time to making cards for Harvester's Food Pantry.  I will try to add a few days on my Class calendar for you gals to help, but in the mean time if you see card bases and envelopes ON SALE and want to contribute those to the cause that would be awesome!

So my design was SIMPLE.....kinda of like this card using the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series paper.  Only 6 more days to Sale-a-brate and EARN this paper for FREE with a $50 purchase!!!

I used a Lemon Lime Twist card base and a Whisper White mat with the sentiment stamped across the bottom in Island Indigo.  The Designer paper was mounted on Island Indigo and added to the layers.  A Bottle was cut with the matching Framelits and Label from another pattern of this paper.  And Popped up on the card front.

I stamped some Bubbles in Island Indigo directly to the paper and added the Clear Epoxy shapes.  I love how the dark Island Indigo ink shows thru the clear shapes.
