Happy Fall

Usually September brings cooler temperatures, but here in the panhandle of Florida, it is still warm and humid.  I look forward to when the temperatures will drop and the humidity slacks off.  Our challenge at Fabrika Fantasy is all about cool temperatures and fall colors.  We want to see your Autumn projects.


I love fall.  When we lived up north, the fall colors were gorgeous and I looked forward to them every year.  We don't have fall colors down here, but at least I can still color with them!  This is Autumn Fairy.  She was colored with Copic markers.  I loved coloring her with all of my favorite fall colors.  The background paper is from Nitwit Collections' Autumn Enchantment.

You have a chance to win some great Fabrika Fantasy prizes for playing along.  Show us your Fabrika Fantasy project and you have a chance to win even more.  You will be entered in a special drawing just for projects using a Fabrika Fantasy image.

But First...

Coffee!

In my continuing theme of coffee and using every, single one of the new coffee stamps, I have made another coffee card for my inspiration post over at the Rubbernecker blog.  This sweet guy is Stokes, and he looks like how I feel when people are talking to me before I have had my coffee!


He was colored using Copic markers and fussy cut.  He does have a matching die, but I don't have it in my stash yet.  I will definitely be adding it soon!  The sentiment comes from the Coffee Blanket set and I used one of the Nested Banner Stitch dies to cut it out.  He was mounted on a Nested Oval Small Stitch die and that was matted with a Nest Oval Scallop with Pierce.  I love mixing and matching all of the awesome dies available from Rubbernecker!

Smile

This week at Creative Knockouts we want to see a sentiment on the front of your card.  So are you ready to enter our Something to Say challenge?


I used Emmi Loo - Just Me from Crafty Sentiments for my project.  She is colored with Copic markers and was cut out using the Silhouette.  I popped her onto a Martha Stewart doily tag that I had laying around because I decided not to use it on another project.  I used a stamp from a Denami Design Petit Four stamp set.  They are the perfect size for these awesome tags I found at Michaels.

Bright Birthday

This week at Crafty Gals, the theme is anything goes.  I have another birthday card to share.  Bet you didn't see that coming!


I used Felicidades (Congratulations) from Mari's Digis to make a birthday card for a co-worker.  Her favorite color is red, so I paired it with yellow for a bright and cheerful card.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.

Twinkle

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the theme is anything goes.


I am still working on my stash of birthday cards for my co-workers.  I am a little bit ahead of the game thankfully!  I thought this sweet Twinkle Fairy made a great birthday card.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Blue is my co-worker's favorite color, so I think this turned out perfectly.

I can't wait to see your projects.

Hug in a Mug

It is my turn to feature over on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog.  I am still loving the new coffee stamps so I had to pull them out again.


The image stamp is from the Coffee Blanket set and the sentiment is from the Coffee Set.  I colored the stamp with Copic markers and used the matching die set to cut it out.  I also used the Nested Banner Stitch dies on this project.

Sparkle and Shine

This week at Creative Knockouts the challenge theme is sparkle and shine.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.


I used Bethany's Balloons from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for my project.  She was colored with Copics and cut out using the Silhouette.  The balloons have clear Wink of Stella.  The cloud was cut from glitter paper using the stitched cloud die from Rubbernecker Stamps.  For a bit of shine, I used a gold peel off sticker for the sentiment.
