Classy Card Ladies- Pumpkins

 We had fun creating with a card kit from Tracie (pearls) and Barb sent kits to her team (diamonds) with the theme of pumpkins. 

  

The image is from Newton's Nook, and I colored it using Copic markers. The pumpkins are Memory Box. I added a small line of shimmery Washi at the base of this card in copper/almost pumpkin. 

 I pulled out another die from the market in the Netherlands- I had enough ribbon in the kit to weave it through and make a small ribbon embellishment too. The image was fussy cut, colored using Copics and added to the die cut.  The DP Tracie sent is by Prima. 

Fabulous and fun kit Tracie!  

Which card is your favorite?  My husband likes one and I like the other : )  LOL

In the Clouds

The Classy Card ladies are creating with the theme of "In the Clouds".  Jeanette and Kelly are our hostesses and I am on team Jeanette- here are the cards I created with her kit : 

We have company here- DS, DIL and GS.  SO I am going back to 1990...lol  I traced the silver SU metallic card using a circle and hand cut it, the piercing done with a sewing machine needle..... The acetate is from a carton of blueberries....  the sequins were in the kit, but I love the window looking at the white clouds. I fussy cut the clouds and the Hot air balloons.  The sentiment will be added on the inside. 

For this card, I used the DP (Jeanette's stash) and added the sentiment, which was die cut from a Spellbinders die. The clouds were backed with the SU silver metallic card. The hot air balloon was fussy cut and added over a strip of the metallic ribbon. 

Our kit from Jeanette included:

Ribbon- SU or Bazille

Recollections enamel dots

Classy Card Ladies monthly duel

The classy card ladies 'due;' on the 15th of each month (formerly known as the dueling darlings). 

This month, Debby (team Pearls)  and Suzy ( team Diamonds)  chose the theme of Cactus.

 I went with the no lumpy or bumpy for mailing, so just used the image- Cactus Mail from Impression Obsession and the DP.  The DP is Paper Studios. The image was colored using Copics and the sky SU ink. I added WInk of Stella to the frame and the moon on both images. 

 Take #2. Such beautiful DP, I hated to cover it up...!  My husband absolutely loves this image- guess he is getting tired of the snowy winters in the Midwest : )
