Paper Girls Challenge Blog: Pumpkin Spice

Total honesty here... I'm not all about that pumpkin spice business. I'd much rather have a chai latte over a pumpkin spiced anything, anyday. However, pumpkin spice is an ingredient in Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Bars, and I LOVE those things! Today's card is just for fun. I knew exactly what I wanted to create when I saw this challenge, a shaped card.

Today's card uses all Authentique papers, some twine and a sentiment. What reminds you of Pumpkin Spice? Head on over to the Paper Girls Challenge Blog and enter in your Pumpkin Spice Challenge image!

Supplies Used: Authentique Paper (Bountiful Collection, Artisan Cardstock, Spectrum Series: Antique Lace), Silhouette Design Store #151232, Lawn Fawn (Love You a Latte), Twinery Twine: Mandarin, ink Pin It

AUTHENTIQUE PAPER: I "Promise" You'll Have a Happy Easter!

I love this card. Really, I do. I know that I probably should give it away for Easter, but I kind of want to just look at it some more. I started with a fun Lori Whitlock A2 Easter Basket Box Card and the 6x6 Bundle from Authentique's Promise Collection. The fun thing about these Silhouette cuts, are that they are super easy to put together and look amazing. They also fold up to fit in a standard A2 evelope!

I used a piece of kraft paper for the base, then layered various papers from the 6x6 Bundle. The smaller patterns really make this card pop. 

To create the sentiment, I used the Happy Easter banner from the Components 6x12 Die Cuts. Even the bow was cut from the 6x6 Bundle, then I added a sweet matching enamel dot. 

Of course, I had to use some dark brown Core'dinations cardstock to make a fun chocolate bunny! Happy Easter everyone! Pin It

Pinspired Challenge #2

My lovely friend Jen from Pinspired Challenges once again reminded me and a few of our friends to be a part of her lovely new challenge site. And, since it is my birthday! I decided to take a few moments to myself when everyone went to sleep to make a cute little card. Like most things, I spent most of the day plotting how this would look, so it didn't take too long to put together once I had figured it all out.

Fun, huh? I created the card based on a Silhouette cut. I doubled the mitten, made a score line along the two mittens, and cut them. Then I cut a single mitten, with a heart shaped hole. I layered some of the Authentique Lovely paper behind the inked mitten cut from the Authentique Seasons: Winter line. I really love that line. Too bad it didn't snow this year, or I would really use it!! Then I layered a little bit of another pattern from the same line. Added a Twinery twine pompom, and a small snowflake (also from the same line).
