Vintage Leaves

Welcome to the Crafty Card Gallery Fall themed blog hop!

We have 9 very talented card makers who have each designed a Fall themed card. If you’ve never done a hop before, it’s a group of bloggers that have joined together. You hop from blog to blog using the links in each post. Be sure to visit each of the blogs and comment on the posts and follow their blogs.

The colors of the Fall leaves around my home are so pretty I decided to bring them inside with my paper and ink version.

  
 The Vintage Leaves stamp set and VersaMark ink were used to stamp the image on Whisper White card stock and then heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. I used sponge daubers and Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss classic ink pads to get the highlights and depth I wanted. And don't worry, you don't have to fussy cut those leaves - the Leaflets Framelits Dies takes care of that!

The acorn is from the Acorny Thank You stamp set and I love that there is a Stampin' Up! punch that creates both the whole acorn shape and the topper.


Thanks for joining us in the hop!

Inking Idaho on the Road - Seattle, What a Blast!

Inking Idaho on the Road - Seattle was a huge success!  We actually met in Everett at the Firefighter's Hall with a sold out crowd.  I hosted the event with my Friends Ink team and my Upline, Becky Roberts & few of our other team members. I am sharing Becky's pictures with you since I was too busy to take many :)

Here I am welcoming the crowd.

Some of the attendees - they were packed in tight.

Becky and I at the end of a long wonderful weekend.

My downline, Krista Murphy did an amazing presentation on Holiday gift wrapping using the Home For Christmas collection.

Adorable projects!

Becky's downline, Missy Hall from Portland, did a fantastic presentation on making luminaries with our Kraft bags and the Hearth & Home collection.

Aren't these pretty?

Every attendee received the A Little Something stamp set and all the projects were made using that set.

Friday night was all fall and Halloween projects.

Saturday afternoon after the presentations, they stamped 4 Christmas notecards & a Sketched Dots bag to place them in and created a little treat favor.

The displays were beautiful!  My team as well as a few of my sideline made them all and put them together.  I made the wreath on this door. Cards are  made by Shelley Fabens & Krista Murphy.

Krista & Janice Williamson decorated all the water bottles with the same stamp set.
