Kicking it off with Prickley Pear

Happy Monday everyone!  We are kicking of the week with Prickley Pear Design Team Monday.  This is a card I came up with PPRS and also the newest collection of Authentique.  I think there is a bit of an Asian flare, what do you think?

Of course you know I had to pop some butterflies on for an extra flight.  Have a great week and check back in as I'll be posting a lot of KaiserCraft goodies this week. 

Fall Leaves with Glitter

This is a tag I created for Beary Scraps current challenge...FALL.  I had the idea to cover the leaves with glitter and I love the way it turned out.  The paper is from the Authentique Glowing Paper Pad.  It's chocked full of all those orange, brown and black colors that are all around this time of year.  The base tag was colored with Distress Ink so I could match up my colors as I wanted.  The kocha/brown seam binding ribbon added the final touch to my tag.

So are you inspired to make a Fall card?  I hope so...and be sure to link it up to our Beary Scrap challenge here...you could win a $20 gift certificate, so why not?

 

Hugs,

This tag quaifies for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp and Show: Masculine

Sunflower Days

Have you gotten your Fall card entered in The Beary Scrap Challenge yet?  If not you better get on the stick.  It' that time of the year to create fall creations and the best part is you might just win a $20 shopping spree with your entry.  Be sure to link yours up here , we'd love to see your work.

This weeks card was created using Authentiques Blissful Collection. Colors a little to bright for Fall colors...just ink your paper up with some Distress Ink and you'll be good to go. 

The handmade sunflower was made using Spellbinders dies, McGill tools and pad, McGill punch, glue and some patience.  Granted it took a little while to do, but really it's so stunning you only need one to set your card off, so what's a little time, right?  Oh and remember if it can fit in an envelope...it ain't a card, LOL. 

Hugs,

Ushering in the Season...FALL

We have a new challenge over at Beary Scrap and you're going to love it....HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!  I adore the season of fall, it's my favorite.  To me it's like everything is getting ready to go to sleep for the winter.  The colors are so deep and rich and hearty...love, love, love.  Can't you just smell the crisp air, the apples baking in the oven with a sprinkle of sugar and see the leaves starting to fall to the ground.  How could that not give you warm fuzzies all over. 

I used the new Authentique 6 x 6 paper pads (Glowing and Blissful) for this card.  I inked it up with a bit of distress ink to give a bit more aged look and to blend with the Fall colors I was reaching for.  That's the nice thing about distress ink...if your paper isn't quite what you want it to be in color or tone...ink that thing up.

This card also qualifies for the following challenges:

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge

Cheery Lynn Die Challenge
