Pumpkin Fun with Rinea

Hello friends!

Fall leaves, crisp air.....it can only mean one thing....EVERYTHING PUMPKIN!!!   My first  Rinea Project this month is all about the pumpkins!!

Today I'm sharing an adorable handmade Pumpkin Welcome Sign! This was a fun project I tell ya! I'm obsessed with all the fun thing my local Dollar Tree store has, and I recently picked up a wooden pumpkin sign base and metal fall words. This was a perfect time to use them!

Here are the products you will need for this project:

 Haunted Foiled Paper Variety Pack
(I used the followed from the pack)

Marigold Glossy 
Emerald Starstruck

Ghost Ink
Rubbing Alcohol
Adhesive of Choice

Scissors
Jute Twine
Sand Paper

I started by tracing my pumpkin onto a piece of Marigold Glossy Foiled Paper. I trimmed it out and glued it onto my pumpkin cutout with liquid adhesive. I used sandpaper to smooth the edges and add a bit of distressed look.

  

 

Next, I lightly traced out where I wanted my pumpkin lines to be - you know, the lines that make a pumpkin a pumpkin! Using a direct to paper method, I swiped my GHOST INK over my markings, light created swooshes and let dry.  I spritzed with rubbing alcohol and wiped off the color with a paper towel - MAGIC!!! LOVE the Ghost Ink!!!

   

I found some pumpkin leaf templates online, so I traced those onto my Emerald Starstruck Foiled paper and trimmed out. The were arranged and glued one along with my "Welcome" words. I tied some jute twine around the stem and voila!  Easy Peasy!

  

  

Love how this project came together!

Rinea Fall Burlap Banner

Hello friends!

Happy September!  I have a beautiful Rinea creation to share with you today!  We are having fun this month collaborating with Joy Clair Stamps!  I hope you enjoy all the designers have in store for you.

Here are the products you will need for this project:

Autumn Foiled Paper Variety Pack

(I used these colors from the pack:
Starstruck Marigold Orange
Glossy Ruby/Gold
Glossy Marigold/Gold
Glossy Mocha/Gold)

Joy Clair Fall Greetings Stamp Set

Liquid Adhesive

Burlap

Jute Twine

Stazon Ink

Chipboard Pieces

For this project, I did a few different techniques.  First, using the Glossy Mocha/Gold foiled paper, I covered two leaf/feather style chipboard pieces. I sanded off the edges to mold to the chipboard, then inked the edges with Stazon Ink & did some random stamping with a leaf stamp.



I used a chipboard tag and covered with Glossy Marigold/Gold. Set this aside for another step.

I stamped a few of the different leaf images onto all 3 glossy colors, then fussy cut them out.

 

I handcut a pennant shape from my burlap fabric (I just picked this up from our local fabric shop).

I used the "Give Thanks" sentiment from the gorgeous stamp set for my tag, using Stazon on stamp it. I used a variety of the fussy cut leaves to decorate the tag.  Once I had all my pieces, I tied some jute twine around the elements, then glued them down to my burlap pennant.



 



 

I love how beautifully this turned out!  Sometimes simple is beautiful, don't you think?

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!  I love to read your comments -they are always an encouragement.

Have a great day!

Wishing You Blessings with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!

I'm so excited to share my second monthly project for Rinea with you today!  We are continuing our partnership with Joy Clair Stamps - and I was blessed to use the Fall Leaves stamp set for this project.

I used the Earth Tones & Metallics Foiled Paper Variety Packs to create this card. I used the Ghost Ink to create some really cool texture on my background piece.  In a nutshell, you stamp using your Ghost Ink, then GENTLY heat set. Using some rubbing alcohol, gently rub off the inked areas! It reveals the silver foil below - it's like a reverse ink :) I then stamped the "vein" stamps using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with a light colored embossing powder.

  

I die cut the amazing foiled paper - both the GLOSSY and STARSTRUCK versions. You will love how cleanly this product die cuts - and then you can bend it to hold it's shape!  I tried to use almost all the beautiful fall leaf shapes - I know I will use this set quite often in the month's to come!  I also used a leaf embossing folder I had on hand - a perfect fit!!!

  

I hope you enjoy this card!  I had a lot of fun making it - it sure got me in the "fall" feels - even though I LOVE summer!!!

See you really soon!

Jess
