These Tractor Cards Are PERFECT For Fall!

How cute is this bundle?!?! It was so much fun to make these cards.

This card features a tractor, trailer, and tires that are stamped and then die cut. I used Blueberry Bushel, Pecan Pie, and Memento Black to stamp them. While the card below has those made out of die cuts. I used the same colors of card stock as the ink to do the die cuts.

Sometimes, it is hard to get a thorough stamp in one pass with stamps as large as the tractor and trailer. I often use a stamp positioner so I can ink the stamp again and do another press. But I did NOT have to do that with these! Everything on these cards was stamped ONE time. Great performance from these stamps!

I stamped the corn in Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. The pumpkins were stamped in (of course!) Pumpkin Pie. On the first card, I used Crushed Curry to stamp the hay and Real Red for the chickens.

The backgrounds of both cards were done with small blending brushes, using Balmy Blue for the sky and Granny Apple Green for the ground. I made my own stencil to create the cloud look at the top. You can see how I did it in this video!

Make a Sweet & Festive Cookie Jar Card

Oh my goodness! I just love this adorable jar full of gingerbread cookies.

I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder and DSP from the new Traditions of Christmas Suite that will be available to everyone in September. The main colors are Old Olive and Real Red. I think the red and white twine and peppermint embellishments go so well with this card.

The jar of cookies is from the Jar of Joy stamp set. It is stamped in black, Pecan Pie, and Real Red. The coordinating jar punch is available separately OR as a bundle with the Sweet Jar stamp set.

The Sweet Jar bundle is great for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, St. Patrick’s Day, and general friendship cards. I plan to put these two sets to good use!

Celebrate Back To School With This Cute Card

As I was making this card, I was thinking that it would be great for a teacher or student, but then I thought, This would be GREAT for a parent. Yep, many a parent is excited about sending the kids back to school! 😂

First, I made the card base with Azure Afternoon cardstock. I then cut the Poppy Parade layer at 4-1/2 x 3-1/2. I adhered this on an angle to the card base. To make the clipboard, I used Crumb Cake but to 4-1/4 x 3-1/4, then used a corner-rounder.

The note paper is made with Basic White. For the one with lines, I used Azure Afternoon ink, stamping off one time to get lighter lines. TIP: Don’t ink the lines stamp too heavily; it looks much better with a light touch. I stamped the sentiment in black.

Next, I used the dies to cut the note paper, paper clip, heart, star, and arrows. I used silver foil specialty paper to die cut the clip. Adhere the note paper to the crumb cake layer and glue it on the card. Then adhere all the cute elements.

For the inside, I stamped the bottom using the irregular star stamp.

This bundle is available as an Online Exclusive here.

You can see this card made here or on my Youtube channel.
