Samantha has a beautiful card to inspire us today!

Autumn is my favorite season, and I love making cards for this cozy season! I stamped and colored the images from You Autumn Know, A Bug Deal, Bubbles of Joy and You’re Just My Type with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.


I did a whole lot of ink blending for the background starting with a white cardstock base. I used the new Autumn Breeze Stencil with Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade. I pressed my embossing ink pad through the stencil and then added some clear embossing powder on top and heat set it to lock in the color.


Then I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the sky. I also inked another panel with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron before using the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut out the layers.



Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then die cut it out with the Simple Wavy Banners dies.

Thank you for this beautiful Awesome Autumn inspiration, Samantha! I love how you clear embossed the stenciled leaves, so clever!

It’s the last weekend for the Fun with Food challenge and we are closing out the inspiration with a super fun card by Jenn! She combined mice from Bubbles of Joy with Build-A-Gumball Machine to create a bubbly cute card!


Jenn colored the images and the gumball machine with Distress Watercolor Pencils on Distress Watercolor cardstock. To make the background look like popped bubbles, she used Paint Splatter Background Stencil with Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick. Then she stamped that encouraging sentiment from Bubbles of Joy!


She stamped the cute mice from Bubbles of Joy and Dandy Day with Jellyfish Ink before filling them in with the watercolor pencils.


Jenn assembled the gumball machine, filling it with gumballs and adding the bubble-blowing mice. And then she included a special detail, covering all the bubbles with Glossy Accents!

Thank you so much for this super cute inspiration, Jenn!

Are you having fun with taking our critters on vacation? Today Joyce has more cute inspiration for you as some cute mice shell-ebrate with seashells!


It’s time to shell-ebrate a fun vacation at the beach with the cute Bubbles of Joy mice! They are collecting seashells in the mason jar from How You Bean? She used Stitched Hillside Borders to create the ocean waves and sandy shore.


The punny sentiment along with all the seashells are from How You Bean? Seashell Add-On.

Thank you for sharing this adorable card with us, Joyce!
