Fall Card Series #4 Leaves BONUS Recycle with me series #19 Scrap paper Leaves

Hello There, today I've got 3 cards for you they are a part of two series over on my YouTube channel.  They are part of my 2019 Fall card series and also a part of my Recycle with me series.   The reason they are part of the Recycle with Me series is I used all scrap paper to create the leaves on the cards.

The cards were very simple. I made three cards with the same look switching it up a bit here and there to create different yet similar looks.  I used Simon Says Stamp Fall Leaves Die (that I believe is no longer available, but there are similar sets from other companies). I will link to a few more options for Fall Leaf dies down below.  I used the Sixxiz SideKick machine to cut out a bunch of leaves from the scraps of paper.

For the first card I made a wreath with the leaves and adhered them with the Xyron Sticker Maker.  Then I used a Ranger black emboss it pen to add my own sentiment inside the wreath. I wrote "Be Thankful" and then grabbed out the Ranger clear embossing powder and used it over the written words and used the Marvey heat tool to melt that embossing powder.  I also used the Ranger clear emboss it pen to add some details to the leafs to make them stand out a bit more.   Then to finish off the card I used Autumn Red and English Mustard nuvo drops to add some final detail to the card.

For the second card I decided to use the paper that had the cut outs from the leaf die as a stencil.  So I grabbed out my distress oxide inks and my Dollarama make up brush for this.   I used three distress oxide colors Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn.   Then I used the clear emboss it pen from Ranger to add some detail to the leaves and Ranger clear embossing powder.  I heat set that once again with the Marvey heat tool.  I also used the clear emboss it pen on a scrap of black paper for the sentiment and wrote "Thank you". I then used Simon Says Stamp white embossing powder  for that an used my heat tool to melt that embossing powder.  To adhere the sentiment I pulled out the Xyron Sticker maker again.  As a final touch I pulled out the Autumn Red and English Mustard nuvo drops to finish off the card.


For the third card I used the remaining die cuts and adhered them to the card base using the Xyron Sticker Maker.  I took the Ranger black emboss it pen and wrote "Hello Fall" on one of the leaves and used the Ranger clear emboss it pen to add detail to the leaves.  I used the Ranger clear embossing powder over the areas I used the emboss it pen and heat set that with my heat tool.   Lastly I used the Autumn Red and English Mustard nuvo drops to add some final touches to the card.

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
