I made this side step card from an idea from Pinterest and here's my version. Her's was an A 4 card and I wanted to make mine bigger, so I fiddled with it and this is a 6 x 6". You can go here to watch the video tutorial. I actually wanted it a little wider, but it turned out pretty nice as is, maybe next time. 
The plaid paper, senti, gold background die and large holly is Anna Griffin, the lamp post I think is Memory Box, I don't remember where I got the others. I made graduating panels for the back 2 steps and decorated them.








That's all for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi crafty friends!
I have a Thanksgiving card to share today.

Entering in these challenges:

Aud Sentiment - #288 AG
Creative Fingers - #219 AAG
Creative Moments - #227 AAG
Cupcake Inspirations - #532 Fall Foliage (Won Sweet Pick!)
Di's Digi Challenge - LoL - Lots of Layers
Digi Choosday - #47 AAG
Dream Valley - #259 AAG
The Four Seasons - AG/Fall
Inkspirational - #252 Outdoors/Foliage
My Time to Craft - #470 Texture
QKR Stampede - #432 AAG

I made this card with the Sue Wilson Three Column background die, the Anna Griffin Happy Thanksgiving die and foliage stickers, a puffed pumpkin from Michaels and some mini pinecones I found outside. I made the background paper by putting a layer of Sue Wilson's double sided adhesive on a piece of paper and spead her Cosmic Shimmer, Gilding Flakes, Mulled Wine. I also added some green and pink Aurora gilding flakes for added color. 
I took a couple of pictures of just this background paper and gorgeous die that I hated to cover up. These pictures don't do the gilding flakes any justice, they are so much more shiney and glittery than this.









That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Happy Hanukkah!

Good evening blogger friends!

I have a Hanukkah card to share today:

Entering in these challenges:

Crafty Catz - #573 AAG/Add Metal
Creative Fingers - #219 AAG
Di's Digis - LoL - Lots of Layers
Dream Valley - #259 AG
My Time to Craft - #470 Texture
QKR Stampede - #432 AAG

I made this card with the Anna Griffin Hanukkah card kit. I just love her kits! Even though they're a bit pricey, they are all inclusive and I think worth it. You get everything you need to make a card, from a variety of base cards, embellishments, sentiments, inside sentiment inserts, envelopes, dimensionals, instructions and examples, making it look so professional. She also has the dies to match that are seperate, which I also have, but I didn't use them on this card. I had a few Hanukkah dies, stamps and embellishments but nothing to this extent. 
And here's my first version.

Happy Autumn!

 I have a Happy Autumn card to share today. 

Entering in these challenges:

Crafty Catz - #569 AAG/Layers 
Creative Fingers - #217 AAG
Creative Moments - #225 AAG

Digi Choosday - #43 AAG
My Time to Craft - #468 Halloween/Fall
Polkadoodles - #43 AAG
QKR Stampede - #430 AAG

In looking at my fall examples on Pinterest, I came upon one similar to this and this is my version. It's the second of a non-traditional, Fall, color scheme I thought was nice. I used one of Anna Griffin's blue, Fall, plaid papers and matching plain papers in my stash. I used a Sizzix leaf embossing folder for the lighter blue, some of Anna Griffin's gold flourishes, 3 skeleton leaves are from Michaels and the wheat pieces are from Impression Obsession dies.

So Much Beauty in Fall!

 Evening Blogger friends!

I have another Fall card to share today.

Entering in these challenges:

Crafty Catz - #569 Add Some Layers
Crafty Sentiments - AG (Won Top 3!)
Creative Fingers - #217 AAG
Creative Moments - #225 AAG
Dies R Us - #179 AAG*
Dream Valley - #257 Circles
The Four Seasons - AAG/Oct./Fall
Hand Stamped Sentiments - #375 Blue/Plum/Gray
My Time to Craft - #468 Halloween/Fall
Penny's - #507 AAG
Polkadoodles - #43 AAG
QKR Stampede - #430 AAG
* Wheat dies are from Impression Obsession

I made this Fall wreath card from a card I saw on Pinterest. I liked the darker blue and burnt orange color combo with the gray, wood background. After making most of the card, I got these wheat dies in the mail and wanted to use them so they went on top. I would normally have mixed the wheat in with the rest of the other wreath pieces, but I would've had to tear it apart 'cause they were already glued down. The wheat kinda covered up a lot of the other colors which I wasn't too happy about, but, what's a girl to do. Not my finest piece of work, but it's ok.

I love fall!! And I usually make more fall cards than anything else, so this is the first of probably several fall cards up and coming.
This little cutie is a fall digi stamp from The Paper Shelter that I colored with my Copics, the papers are Forever Fall Collection by Bo Bunny, the leaves and acorn stickers are Dazzles from Paper Wishes. The corn stalks are a die I think from Die Namics, but I could be wrong.

These dies are a combination of Crafter's Companion, Stampin' up and the letters on the inside are Anna Griffins, and the papers are also Crafter's Companion.
