because art shouldn't be so serious
My first ever slimline card! I had never even heard the term “slimline” until a few months ago. This slimline die is PERFECT for the Peeking Pets don’t you think?????? And I love the specs and top hot accessory, lol! Have you made slimline cards before? Show me!!!

This card I just adore. It’s different! It started with a plain piece of vellum and alcohol ink… I just dropped some onto the vellum, dropped some regular isopropyl alcohol on top and let the alcohol ink do its magic…. Once it was dry, I flipped it over and began working on the front side. I did a little stamping direct to the vellum and also did some stamping and die cutting so I could layer the pumpkins and leaves and apples! So much cuteness here.
The leaves were such a pleasant surprise. I didn’t know until I stamped them, but they have designs on them! So stinkin’ cute! To get the look of texture on the oak tree, I inked the tree with Icing on the Cake Ink and then sprinkled on some clear embossing powder. Before heat setting, I brushed a little of it away and thus the texture was born!
Do let me know if you have any questions about this card or how I made it….. Or if you would like to see me re-create it on my youtube channel!!!!!

Colorful pumpkins are rockin’ my world right now! Today I thought I would focus on a few of the smaller images from one of my favorite “fall” stamp sets! Small images can really make a big impact! Add in some gorgeous colorful ink and you’ve got yourself a WOOT WOOT moment! I mean, how can this not make you smile? Even if pumpkins aren’t your thang (Get ready because I’m here to tell you I do NOT like Pumpkin Spice lattes – ahhhhh)….. these pumpkins are……

Oh, how I loved sitting under the big ole’ oak tree in my yard growing up! My brother and I built a fort and put little buttons on it and pretended it was a space ship. Fun times. I adore this new large cling Oak Tree stamp from Catherine Pooler. It’s large enough to cover a standard size card front and it has detailed wood grain etched in the rubber!
I thought the tree alone was a fantastic show stopper for the card….. Just some simple ink blending in the background an AWESOME sentiment.
In addition to the Oak tree, there is an amazing new stamp set that has “accessories” for the tree! Like a tire swing, leaves, tulips, bows….. Meet the 4-ever stamp set (also has coordinating dies). On this card, I stamped all the images with Catherine Pooler ink, spritzed the panel with A LITTLE bit of water and let it dry….. I cut down a piece of vellum and adhered it to the panel with itty bitty dots of glue.
I flicked on some white paint for two reasons.
1. It’s cool
2. It covers up the glue that you might see. (HA HA)
And last, a rainbow Oak tree. Come on… You knew I had to do it! And how cute are those hanging lights! Seriously…..
Now there are a ton of new products in this release…. From cakes to critters…….. I’ve linked to the entire release below in the product list….. Today, I am just using products from the Under the Oak Tree bundle….
