I can't wait to show you the cards we have made with some of these sets!  I are scheduling Tin of Tags classes now for November and December!

Here is a fall card I made with parts from the Christmas Pines set.  Yes, there are framelits that go with this set… But on this card I used the the stamp from Christmas Pines and a couple other sets.

Here are the directions for this card:

Sets: Gorgeous Grunge, Paisleys & Posies, Christmas Pines, Basket of Wishes

Cardstock: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim, Pool Party

Inks: Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry, Pool Party

Other: Linen Thread, Clear Wink of Stella, Aqua Painter

Steps/Instructions: 

Stamp the frame image in the center from the Christmas Pines stamp set with Pool Party Ink. 

Stamp the splatters using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set with Crushed Curry Ink.

On Whisper White Card stock that says: “fruit”, stamp the pumpkins image using Tangerine Tango Ink and color the images using an Aqua Painter, Crushed Curry Ink, Tangerine Tango Ink, Pear Pizzazz Ink and Pool Party Ink. After all of the images are colored in, add Clear Wink Of Stella to the pumpkins. Fussy cut leaving some of excess card stock at the bottom for gluing.

On a scrap piece of Crumb Cake Card stock, stamp the basket using Soft Suede Ink, add a little bit of shading using the Aqua Painter and the Soft Suede Ink.  Fussy cut out.

Glue the pumpkin image to the basket. 

Add some Linen Thread around the basket twice and tying into bow. Adhere basket to the center of the white layer using Dimensionals.

    Stamp the saying from Paisleys & Posies set with Pool Party Ink.

*** To clean colors off the Aqua Painter LIGHTLY rub on paper towel.  When using the Aqua Painter you do NOT want to squeeze the handle.  Please ask if you need help.
