Autumn Release with Trinity Stamps

I’m celebrating the Autumn Release with Trinity Stamps with a pair of cute cards and by participating in their huge release blog hop. Make sure your hop along and leave a comment on the Trinity Blog for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to their website.

I have two new projects to share with you today. My first card features a new set and matching dies called Shoe Sprites. The large main image in this set is a super cute hiking boot that has been turned into a gnome home. There is also a cute pair of resident gnomes that call this boot home. There are quite a few cute accessories to this set and I used them all!

I cut a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock that I inked up with using my Trinity Blending Buddy blending brushes, and 3 Distress Oxide Inks, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and a hint of Mermaid Lagoon. I splattered it with clean water, white opaque ink, then metallic gold ink.  Then I cut a panel from grass green cardstock that I cut two grassy layers from. I inked just the edges of the grass pieces with Mowed Lawn and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. After stamping my images with my stamp platform and achieving complete coverage, I colored my images with Copic markers and highlighted with white gel pen after cutting out. Then I marked where I was going to place the shoe very lightly and tucked all of my background images in place, knowing where the boot would cover. I mounted the boot on Fun foam then attached it to my panel.

I used foam tape to attach my shorter grass panel and adhered my gnomes with liquid glue. There are a few hat options in the set, and a couple of little smoke puffs as well (for the chimney), and I really love how full of fun my scene is. I combined a few words from the Happy Senti-mini set and stamped them in a word bubble from my stash. This set blends wonderfully with another new set called Mouse House that I shared on Sat.

The second card I have today is also full of Fun Fall images. I used Trinity’s Narrow Card and Bookmark to get this wonderful stitched scallop panel and the stitched banner. I cut lots of paper layers to mount this on to achieve a nice full slimline card. I also cut a Bristol Smooth layer that would fit right inside the stitching. I inked it up with my Blending Buddies and Distress Oxide Inks in  Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstck, Dried Marigold, and Rusty Hinge. After splattering with clean water and white opaque ink I used the new Autumn Trees stencil and gold glitter paste to create some falling leaves.

I stamped out images from last falls Seasonal Sweetheart, and combined them with this years Nutty Squirrel using my Stamp Platform. Then colored everything with my copics using shades of orange and tan.  In really love the monochromatic look, and that the tans look like the Kraft paper I used for the scallop layer and card base. After mounting all of my images onto my slim panel I added a sprinkling of sequins. I really loved the look I achieved by combining these different stamp sets and can’t wait to see what you come up with as well.
