Sunflower Barrel

Posted on October 11, 2024 9:56 PM by Julie Comment

The fall color showing up daily has me in the mood for an autumn card. Today, i using a new wooden barrel die along with 2 different sunflower dies. The big ones are a new die set that creates really lovely sunflowers. Cut them out in your choice of colors then mix & match them. Instant autumn sunfower bouquet!

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC984) we are visiting Deluxe Modern Design & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture. All the yellow & the sunflowers had me thinking of this big sunflower die.

The big sunflower die set was cut several times out of 3 different yellows, a little dk brown, dk rust & some green for the leaves. I did the same for the little sunflowers. After die cutting the wooden barrel out of Kraft, I used a blending brush & some cinnamon ink to add some color to it. I also rubbed the ink pad over the high parts for more depth. I used a dk gray ink for the edges of the metal bands before attaching them. The edges of the sunflowers were inked w/ a little pumpkin & autumn inks. Then it was just a matter of arranging all the sunflowers in the barrel. It’s backed w/ a piece of scenic design paper.

Just so you’ll know, this is a slightly larger card since my barrel of flowers was so big. The actual card size is 4.75 x 6. The large green layer is 4 5/16 x 5 9/16 & the designer paper is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My card today is full of everything autumn. Colors, falling leaves, sweaters, books, blankets. This was so fun to color and since all of them have coordinating dies, it came together quickly. Add a greeting and maybe a background of fall leaves paper and you are done!

A big congrats to Cindy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS922)! She has a terrific gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the fall theme & fall items floating around the card, but I used different images, dies, made mine A2 instead of square & changed the layout a bit.

After coloring & die cutting all the fall images, I cut a mid size white panel & stamped the greeting onto it. I added a narrow dk rust layer behind it, then attached to a large piece of designer paper. All of the images were popped up just a bit before I attached them to the card.

Here are the Copics I used:

Autumn Cozy Corner

Posted on October 4, 2024 9:22 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have an autumn scene set in a cozy little nook in front of a window. Complete with pumpkins and a little gray cat looking out the window. All you need are some dies to cut these parts in your choice of colors. Add a die cut panel background and a fall themed paper and you are set.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge and we’re visiting Hello Haley and her Pinterest Board. THIS lovely scene was my inspiration.

All of the living room items were die cut out of little scraps of different colors. I lightly sponged the edges of the pieces w/ similar colored inks to give them a little depth before putting them all together. Just the double pane panels of the window were used. I attached a piece of antique ivory vellum behind the panes then attached a piece of my background designer paper behind that. Love how it gives the impression of looking thru the window. The white panel was die cut w/ the woodgrain sign die & the rest of the same designer paper was cut using its larger back panel. I added a few pumpkins & a little wreath for the window from the Autumn Door parts die to complete the scene.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
