Pumpkin Spice Latte Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Fall Pumpkin Spice Latte card today using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Pumpkin Latte.  Don't forget you can use my code VonFan10 to save on your purchases.

I love this New Stencil Pumpkin Latte because it has sentiments as well as the Pumpkin Latte stencil image.  On white cardstock I ink blended the Pumpkin Tiki Torch ink by Catherine Pooler.  I also used Ground Espresso Distress ink for the Latte portion of the stencil as well as the stem of the pumpkin.  I then cut out my Pumpkin Latte with a circle die.  I stamped a coffee image from Unity Stamp Co. called Cozy vibes Coffee by Graciellie Design and masked the inner part of the stamp so that I could place this stencil die-cut inside of it.  I colored the cup of the stamp with a copic marker and fussy cut the cup

I ink blended some white cardstock with another stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Coffee Beans using Ground Espresso Distress ink.  I cut that background to be A2 size.  I then stenciled a sentiment from Pumpkin Latte Stencil using white pigment ink on black cardstock.  I cut my sentiment with my paper trimmer.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and embellished with some metallic orange card bling from A Colorful Life Designs.  I love how this card came out.  Cheers Let's grab some Pumpkin Spice Latte.  You can visit for the Newest Release here

Graceful Flowers Sending Love & Hugs

 Hello everyone.  I have a Slimline card today using the Simon Says Stamp August 2024 kit Graceful Flowers.  I have been wanting to use this floral stamp.  The last time I used the kit was for the Blossom Swag embossing folder and I made a video you can watch it here

I had so much fun making this card.  It was easy too.  I started out with white cardstock 110 pound.  I stamped the floral image from the Graceful Flowers Stamp set with Versafine Onyx ink and heat embossed with clear embossing folder using my Misti stamping platform.  I loved the Paper Rose Botanical Blooms pattern papers from the kit so I used markers close to those colors to color my floral image.

I then cut out my floral image with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Scallop Frame die using the largest die from the set. It cuts a border and inner rectangle out. I wanted blue around my image like the Paper Rose Botanical Blooms pattern paper so I inked around it using Distress Oxide ink in Broken China and a blending brush.  I also inked the scalloped border to match.  

I glued everything to a Slimline card base and I popped up the inner die-cut with foam and liquid glue.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Graceful Flowers Stamp.  I then fussy cut around it to fit better on my card. I popped it up with some foam sqaures from the kit. I embellished with some green gems from Pinkfresh studio.  I absolutely love how it came out.  It's a Beautiful stamp set and it's still available I will link it down below.
