Singing Pumpkins….

Look at these adorable caroling pumpkins!!! They are called the Pumpkin Quartet! They just make me smile!  New cling rubber stamps from Printworks, HERE…don’t you ❤ it! I colored the pumpkins with Printworks Designer ink stamp pads, Tangerine, Sunflower Yellow, Ivy and Oak brown. The window and around the window I painted with the Granite Gray stamp pad ink. There is a video about painting with Printworks designer ink on the new website under Creative Lab and then techniques, HERE.  I cut out the windows with my EK Success really sharp scissors. I stamped the images and sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I used the full size pad for the window and pumpkins and the little square pad for the sentiment this time because I separated the  lines… it’s real easy to ink them up separately with the little square pad… love that thing!  Yes,  I used my stamp a ma jig…I tell you,  I can’t stamp without it!

Here’s a close up of the window…

the inside…

you can see I mounted a piece of back card-stock on the inside left with mounting squares…love these 3-L squares…they are so nice…the backing paper comes off so easy and if you’re careful and don’t press them down right away,  you can usually carefully pull it back up if you didn’t get the piece right where you wanted it and reposition, then push them down nice and secure.

I’m linking my card to The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge blog, the theme is Halloween… to Stamps and Fun, the theme is anything goes… to Crafting for all Seasons, the theme is fall colors and to I Brake For Challenges, the theme is Fallin’ for you.

Here’s a picture at an angle. Hopefully you can see the layers…

Join the choir of pumpkins and sing a song of Halloween! Hope we made you sing and smile!!!  Thanks for stopping by…’preciate it!

a Love chair…

I needed a wedding card and I love Printworks stamps… so I started thinking and this is what I came up with! One of my favorite chair stamps, the name of it is “Made for Comfort”,  gotta love that!  Here’s another card  I made with it and a different Printworks sentiment.

the card base is a window card cut with an Accucut A7 convert a card die and the window  die….

I stamped the chair on Bazzill green card-stock three times, cut them out and layered them up… I added some copic shading with my sketch markers… love that! The heart I stamped six times, cut them out and layered them, three together to make them more like chipboard hearts/pillows!

Slug bug…no slugs back!

Remember all the Summer trips across the country looking for “bugs”?! haha  Our parents were goin’ nuts trying to keep everyone from fighting!  “She touched me!”  Oh those were the days… I loved laying in the back of the station wagon on my back reading though.  The miles sure went faster with a book in my hands!

More FABULOUS stamps for Summer from Printworks Collection… here’s the pdf files for these new images HERE and HERE.   Super FUN for all occasions!  The banner ribbon is from an old PW stamp that is a bow border!  I couldn’t find it in the online store but you can sure ask Nicole about it via email or the phone.  Background Polka Dot Wave border G2299 is HERE in rubber.  All PW stamps are available as wood mounted or cling mounted now!!! yea!  I used a PW alphabet set called Chalkboard. The pattern papers I used are also from PW… 12×12.  The image is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away!  Beautiful colors!  Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Granite Gray, Sunflower and Tangerine.  They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

It’s so hot and humid here in Iowa that I’m sure everyone is wishing they could be visiting the ocean…especially the kids heading back to school!
