Thankful for Family layout by Patty Folchert

Fall is such a fun time of the year and one of our favorite days of the year is the day we head to the pumpkin patch. This layout features Hampton Art/Jillibean Soup clear stamp set and Jillibean Soup Mushroom Medley papers are perfect for all your fav fall pics.

Thankful for Family layout by Patty Folchert

I began with a swiss dot brown cardstock base and then added the Jillibean papers with plaid and green woodgrain as shown. Using a PageMaps sketch I Then I chose four favorite photos and trimmed them down to size. Next I stamped in brown ink the kraft tag with tree trunks, Thankful sentiment and stamped the foxes (one in orange ink) on separate kraft paper and then added those with 3D foam dots to the kraft tag as shown. I threaded some doubled up cotton twine through the tag hole and tied a bow.

I added the photos to the blue polka dot base as shown and the border punched the top edge. Next I chose some stickers from the Mushroom Medley collection and added them too. The green “for” on the tag are alphabeans and those create the title along with the “family” sticker. Last I stamped the heart in orange onto the small white jewelry tag and added with cotton twine to the layout as shown.

Fall frolicking at its best and now you can capture your special fall photos too and give this layout a try. Wishing you lots of apple cider, cozy hayrides and the best pumpkins in the patch.

Fall Love,
Patty Folchert

Trio of Snowman Tags by Patty Folchert

In an attempt to beat the Holiday rush, now is a good time to stamp up some tags. This is a fun snowman trio made with a Hampton Art clear stamp and die set and tags.

Trio of Snowman Tags by Patty Folchert

These tags started with the new Letterpress tags, then I added a patterned paper panel to the center of each using new papers from Jillibean Soup. Next I stamped the snowmen onto swiss dot white cardstock using gray ink. Once those were die I got out the die that came with the set and cut each one out using my Cuttlebug.

Then I added each snowman to a tag with 3D foam dots. Then I used some Jillibean Soup Chit Chat Chowder stickers to add the text words at the bottom of each tag.

Super easy and super fast, perfect for the Holiday rush. Did I mention snowmen are a favorite of mine? How about you what is your favorite Holiday character?

Tag Your It,

Peace card by Patty Folchert

The most wonderful time of the year is almost upon us and it is time to get busy on those Christmas Cards! Here is a somewhat untraditional card created with a Hampton Art clear stamp set and watercolor tag.

Peace card by Patty Folchert

With this card I was going for an elegant look, so less is more in that case. I first embossed the card with a Darice embossing folder, Birch Trees. Then I stamped the blue watercolor tag with sentiment and extra snowflakes in gray ink and set aside to dry. Next I stamped directly onto the card base using the same ink to make the snowflakes. Then I found some lovely gray ribbon and added to the bottom as a border strip and tied a bow and added to the tag with a glue dot as shown. Then the tag was added to the card base using 3D foam dots. All that was left was to add a tiny gemstone of bling in the center of each of the snowflakes.

There you have it, an elegant Christmas card that would not be very difficult to mass produce. This set even comes with a stencil as well. Have you started your Holiday cards? If so we would love to hear about them!

Peace to All,
Patty Folchert

Something To Be Thankful For card by Patty Folchert

This time of year most of us take a step back and contemplate those things in life that we are most thankful for. Here is a card to share with one of those individuals that fit well into that category. Maybe a bit more colorful than most Thanksgiving cards but bright and cheerful fits any season I think. This card was made with two new wood block stamps from Hampton Art and new papers and embellishments from Jillibean Soup.

Something To Be Thankful For card by Patty Folchert

This new stamp set features more of the coloring book theme, so using my brown ink I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and let dry. Once dry I painted with watercolor paints as shown. Next I grabbed one of these fab new watercolor tags and stamped the sentiment in the same brown ink and set aside to dry.

Then I decided on the base color and mats using the stamped image as my guide and trying to stick with fall colors. I also left a white border around the stamped image for effect. Afterattaching the mats as shown I added the stamped image.

Then I tied the bow of the tag and added it with 3D foam dots as shown. But it still needed something, so I added the new painted wood veneer heart and it was the perfect final touch.

I predict a bright and cheerful Thanksgiving for whomever receives this card. Best wishes for a warm and welcoming Thanksgiving for you and your family!

Grateful for You,
Patty Folchert

Good Times layout by Patty Folchert

Fun family layouts are a personal favorite, I also love to add stamping to them whenever possible. Sometimes I just use stamps to add subtle touches such as in this layout. I used the new Hampton Art clear stamp set and a banner tag with a grid based design.

Good Times layout by Patty Folchert

My family and I discovered a really fun place a couple weeks ago. It was EnterTrainment Junction near Cincinnati, Ohio and it was all about trains. So my 7 year old son was in heaven, they had the most amazing model train displays I have ever seen. So of course I needed to create a layout to remember this day. I chose a sketch from Creative Scrappers and then modified it a bit to allow for two photos and 2 – 3”x4” cards. I wanted playful colors and designs so I used Jillibean Soup Yellow Pepper Saffron for the papers. The first stamping I did was on the journaling card, I added the little heart and Love ya sentiment in gray ink.

Next I stamped in gray ink the banner tag with the sentiment “Good Time” over and over again as shown. I think this makes a fun embellishment piece perfect for the page. Using the sketch I chose my patterned papers and cut accordingly and laid out my grid design. I cut and sized my photos to fit. All the pieces seemed to get a little lost on the black polka dot paper so I added the silver cardstock mat.

The result is a fun family layout perfect for capturing any good time event. Take a look at your stamp sets and see what embellishments you can create with text or small design items like I did in this layout.

Happy Creating,
Patty Folchert

Thinking of You card by Patty Folchert

Here is another twist on using a coloring book theme stamp, stamp it in one color and add the sentiment in another color. All coloring book style stamps do not have to be colored in. They hold their own very well with just one ink color. I love this new stamp set and banner tag from Hampton Art, aren’t those birds so cute- they make me smile.

Thinking of You card by Patty Folchert

The card started with a kraft card base to add some contrast. Then I stamped the image in Limeade ink onto white cardstock and Next I searched for a small to mid-size floral print that would match my limeade ink color. These papers from Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello were just what I needed. I cut the floral print as a mat base and then layered another mat using the navy gingham paper. The image piece was cut out and added as shown to the center of the card using 3D foam dots.

Next I cut one of the new banner tags in half and added to the top and bottom center of the card as shown. It needed something more so I grabbed a new wood veneer clothespin from Jillibean Soup and painted the rose yellow using the

Happy Hues paint- Yummy Yellow. Once it was dry I put one adhesive sequin on in a navy color as well.

Just like that you are done, a quick card to share with a friend. There are so many possibilities to using two ink colors overlapped on a card, give it a try and see what you come up.

Enjoy Your Day,
Patty Folchert

I always will card by Patty Folchert

Needing an Anniversary card this month I chose one of the new Hampton Art wood stamps with this sweet sentiment.

 I always will card by Patty Folchert

The papers are Jillibean Soup and together with a new Hampton Art doily edge tag they profess forever love.

I wanted to allow the tag to be the main focal point, so I kept all the rest of the card pretty simple. I stamped the tag sentiment in gray ink. I began with a plain white card base and layered on the grey paper as a mat and then the two patterned paper squares from Jillibean Soup’s Mushroom Medley collection.

Then I added on the border strips using a fun sequins paper from the Yellow Saffron Soup Collection from Jillibean. The strips were punched using a Fiskars border punch for some added interest. I felt like it needed a bit more so I stitched the two lines across for extra texture.

Last I adhered the tag to the center of card front as shown with 3D foam dots. That was all there was to it, really simple card. Happy Anniversary to me! Anyone else have an anniversary this month?

Thanks for stopping by,
Patty Folchert
