Sneak previews day 3- Monkeys, Spiders and Coons!

More sneaky previews!  All cards made with stamps to be released on Oct. 1 at www.cdstamps.com.

Autumn Monkey

I wanted to make a card with a white pumpkin since I haven't seen many like that.

The background is the new pumpkin cuttlebug folder, and the technique is Cuttlebug Ink embossing from Julie's blog. I used Sahara Sand ink on the Cuttlebug folder and embossed on white CS.

The main image is colored using copic markers, colors listed in my supply list.  The small pumpkins are cutout and popped up, the set of 2 being masked to make the one look behind the other.

Isn't that puff-puff ribbon adorable?  And it goes with monkey stamps perfectly!  I got it by the yard at my local Archivers and I think it is by May Arts (but I could be mistaken!), but I didn't even know to look for it until I first saw the ribbon on Jody's card.

Web Notes

This next set is actually a set for creating spider nuggets and it's called Web Notes.  It has a web label stamp, but I decided to make a card with that adorable sentiment and the spiders.  Also, I wanted to sew my web around the card and I really like how this one turned out!

Nothing super special, just some "freehand" sewing machine sewing.

Coon Wishes - October Stamp of the Month (SOM)

Spend the required amount in the www.cdstamps.com store and you get this set free!  The racoon is actually holding onto a stump with his paw outstretched in a wave, but I chose to stamp him (or her) twice and cut out the heads and tails and position them peeping up from a field of flowers.  The flower bunch stamp is also in the set. There is also an apple and a bunch of balloons and a few sentiments, like the one used on this card.

I stamped the bunch of flowers all across the bottom and watercolored. Then stamped a few extra and cut out to pop them up.

The sewing above and below the ribbon is using one of the stretch stitches on my sewing machine, I like how it looks like scallops.

Here's a close up of the raccoons.  I just think they are adorabe and have such a humble little look on their faces!

You are so awesome!! Love the white pumpkins, the stitched spider web and the two racoons are too cute! Thank you for giving the idea that one stamp can be very versatile!
