Fun for FALL

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all!
Cheryl here with an extra post to share with you all. My card for today was designed for Splitcoaststampers TLC challenge to use watercolor or any medium to color your diecuts with.
 

For my card I chose to use some older CottageCutz dies to create a FALL themed card. I love fall too, and just had to make something fun for fall...hehehe So I used the CottageCutz Mini HedgeHog, Filigree Leaf Pumpkin, and Mini Leafs all from the Scrapping Cottage.

While in California for a week, I came upon these paints and thought they would be perfect for paper crafting. So I used them and some water to color my CottageCutz leaves. I did mix them to give them a different look than just coloring one color. Love the look. Paints used- Lumiere Citrene , NE OPAQUE Yellow , and Red  

Also used some design paper that I bought at the warehouse sale this past summer. I got these packs of 25 sheets each for 1.20 each pack of design paper. Mind you they are all the same pattern, but what an awesome price so I bought tons of packs, and these were among those packs.

Ribbon is gingham, and the buttons are vintage and came from an estate along with the paints. I have listed the CottageCutz dies used below, and linked them to the store for easy finding.
 
 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,

Tree as symbol of growing and learning

Hi all! Vladka here with you again! 

Today I would like to show you, what I made for my very good friend. She lives in America now and she is a teacher to three years old kids. This is why she needed something to hang on the class door. And I came up with idea to create a tree, because for me it is symbol of growing, learning... So I made this one first. Tree´s ladder is created so, that it looks like inches. There is a lot of animals on the top of the tree and under it: butterflies, little bear and the bigger one, lion, bird, hedgehogs and owl. I added also leafs, grass, mushrooms, nest and birdhouse.


I made also another one with months on it. She will add children´s names on it. So they will  all  know when children have their birthdays. Both trees are cut out with scissors and all pieces are colored with Distress Ink. It is really cute, although it is pretty big.

My list of all used dies is today really long, but I really had fun to play with all this cute dies.

Autumn wreaths

Hi, Vladka here! 

I adore wreaths. They can be symbol of victory, hope, eternity and a lot more. But mostly we use wreaths for decoration, especially in autumn and winter time. Did you made some already?  I did, from paper and not just one, I made two :) 

One is already on card and second is waiting. Maybe I will add twine and hang it somewhere in my flat or I will use it on another card.
The one on a card is embellished a little bit more. Here I used Build-A-Grapvine Wreath die and also added some more leaves cut from: Leaf Mini, Maple Leaf Mini, Oak Leaf Mini and some greenery cut with Harvest Fall Corner die.  

Great week to everyone!
