Fall Trees

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I love the colors of the changing leaves!  

The colors are so beautiful.  

Today I am taking inspiration from the leaves that have been falling. I took the Bare Tree Silhouette stamp and water colored the picture with fall colors in two different cards. 

My inspiration!

Silhouette Style Bare Tree Art Rubber Stamp SC40-10

Owls, Nothing but Owls! Art Rubber Stamp Sheet by MichelleFrae Cummings SCMFC001

Thank You Word Art Rubber Stamp SC55-7 by Pam Bray Designs

Other supplies:

Watercolor paints

Smooth watercolor paper

VersaFine Black Ink

Clear embossing powder

Wide tip gold Sharpie

Gems

Cosmic Shimmer Gilding flakes

Stamp the images on smooth watercolor paper with VersFine black ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

I love watercolors, as you can see one set is not enough!  Paint the ground in greens and browns, let dry. Then paint the sky a faint blue, let dry. 

Using a mixture of reds, oranges. yellows and browns for leaves.  Do not try and paint individual leaves, add blobs of color and you will get the effect of leaves. Let each color dry before adding the next, or the colors will blend, and you will have a muddy mess. 

When the watercolors are dry, along the bottom of the card place double sided adhesive as pictured.  Cover with Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes. Edge card with wide tip gold Sharpie pen. Stamp THANK YOU with black ink on the car. Add a few gems to the card. Mount the finished panel on black cardstock and adhere to the card. 

The owl has leaves flying around the tree giving the effect of a blustery day. When the watercolors are dry. Edge card with wide tip gold Sharpie pen. Stamp THANK YOU with black ink on white cardstock and mount on black cardstock. Add a few gems to the card. Mount the finished panel on black cardstock and adhere to the card. 

ENJOY THE FALL SEASON!

Stamped Trick or Treat Party Favors

With Halloween being my all time favorite holiday, I couldn't pass up the chance to make these oh so  spooky party favors! They are easy to make up and fun to fill.
I'll be making these to give to the kids in my neighborhood all through October, as a early Halloween treat!

To make party favors like these, you will need the following:

1. Owls, Nothing but Owls- Rubber Stamps by Michelle Frae Cummings

2. Halloween on a Shelf -Rubber Stamps

3. Halloween party fillers

4. Washi tape

5. Strong double stick tape

6. Stapler

7. Scissors

8. Crepe paper

9. Colored paper

10. Black ink for stamping

11. Assorted markers and glitter gel pens

For the party favors with pencils in them, I cut my paper to be 6 ½" x 11".

The smaller treat tubes measured to be 5" x 6 ½"

Use the black ink to randomly stamp all over the papers.

Have a little fun coloring in your stamped images!

To make the tube, tightly roll your paper first, to get its shape. Add a strip of double stick tape along one side and press the rolled end into the tape.

Gently press down one end of your tube and insert some crepe paper. Staple this shut. 

Add some washi tape to this end, covering the staples. Use your scissors to cut slits in the crepe paper to make a 'fringe'. 

Fill your tube with Halloween toys or candy. 

Turn the tube and close the opposite end as you did before. 

You can also fill these with money, gift cards, and other fun things! 

Happy Halloween!

~Michelle

Peek-a-Boo Owl Note Cards

Hi everyone! Michelle here with a super cute card I actually made up quite by accident! 

I was playing around with a flower-frame stamp and started reminiscing of a old TV game show I used to watch called Hollywood Squares. Remember that show?

 With all our favorite celebrities too! Funny right?

Well that's how this'peek-a-boo' card came about, so I hope you will enjoy my tutorial. :)

Supplies used:

Owls, Nothing But Owls Stamp Set

Petals and Flowers Stamp Set

Blank Card

White card stock scrap

Stamping ink pad

Colored markers

Scissors

1.  Ink and stamp this stamp (from the Petals and Flowers-set)  all over the front of your card.

2.  Stamp onto the scrap paper and cut out just the center of the design. This will create a 'mask'.

3.  Align the mask over each of the flowers, then stamp your "owl" every which way and that. 

Lift 'mask' to reveal your peek-a-boo-owl!

 4.  Upside down, right side up,side ways, ears first, feet first... Have fun with it!

 5.  Color in as shown. Add some dots to the background if desired.

I'm pretty sure once you get started, you wont be able to stop making some of these

Anniversary Card

Hello crafting friends,

  Today we are making an anniversary card using the Owls, Nothing but Owls stamp set.  This stamp set is very versatile and can be used for making many types of cards. It is always nice to think outside the box and use a stamp for an occasion other then the obvious. (In this case an outdoor/nature card would be the obvious.)

Supplies:
  Owls, Nothing but Owls stamp set
  craft paper
  card stock
  paper doily
  embelishments
  gold thread
  alcohol markers
  die for background
  ink
  white embossing powder

To start this card, we cut out the background die four times, two in red and two in black to create the shadow affect. The first card layer measures 6"x6".  The next layer is craft paper with ink splattered on it. Then the die cut layers and the doily are added using some gold thread tucked in between the two layers.  The owl is stamped and cut out for coloring using alcohol markers.  The sentiment was embossed on the fishtail banner and slid under the wings to give the appearance that the owl is holding it up. (The wings were cut to separate them from the body to allow for this.) Lastly, a few gold embellishments were added.
