Welcome Fall

Good Morning.

I am here to share a NEW DIGI with you!

This image was added to the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop TODAY!

This card was created for our current Freshly Brewed Challenge:

PUMPKIN PATCH

This card showcases the NEW FBD 

FALL PORCH DIGITAL STAMP

This card was created using the following SCS Challenges:

Sketch Challenge 510

Try a New Technique 503: erasers

I colored this image with mostly prismacolor markers. 

The wreath was given texture by using a colorless blender pen. 

I added the rings around the rhinestones using a broken eraser. 

You know the ones. The ones you buy when your pencils eraser

has broken off. The ones that if you use too much or with too much force 

the whole top breaks off leaving the little, thin, tube shaped eraser on your pencil.

Yea, that one. My kids have lots of those ;) 

Thank you for stopping by!

To Sweet to Spook

GOOD MORNING!

I created a fun little card with one of my FIRST ever digital stamps. 

This one was created WAY BACK ;) in 2009 before rubber and before the website -

We were just getting started then. 

 

 I was so happy to get out this little candy corn bat and color him up. 

My kids cant have very many candies due to their food allergies. 

We found a single pack of Jelly Belly candy corn  - peanut free!!!

(MAN THESE THINGS ARE HARD TO FIND and they are $$$!)

 and they kids got to try it for the first time. 

They LOVED it, lol!!! So I am on a hunt for more.

 IF you spot any - let me know who what when and where :D 

 

EEK! The Candy Corn Bat 

I think this may actually be my first (or second - I hate to end up a liar) Halloweenish 

card of the year. We do not celebrate Halloween here. (trick or treating and dressing up) We did last year, but decided we were not anymore.  We will make little treats or watch some semi-scary movies (like on Disney channel - very mild like Monster House :D) This year I will NOT make colored pasta! They make themselves sick and cant eat it. One year it was worms and one year it was brains and eyeballs... and they ate none of it. They inherited their mamas vivid imagination - lol!!! 

I found this cute little border punch at Marshalls over the last weekend for $5! I snagged it up and really was excited to use it. I (forgot) I had the pumpkin border. (both by Martha Stewart). I punched out the pumpkin border and laid it over the fence die. It did not look right, so I cut off the little embossed pumpkns and glued them along the fence. Then I made it pop a bit by adding the white doodle lines. EEK! was colored using prismacolor markers and bic markers. The patterned paper is by Bo Bunny Boo Crew Here's Lookin At You and Boo Crew Dot double sided paper.

 

**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!**

Don't forget our October Rubber Stamp Release and Blog Hop starts THIS SATURDAY!

Hope to see you there! And there is still time to get your FREEBIE digi. Go HERE to read more

 

 this card is being entered into the following challenges:

Die Cut Divas: Pumpkins

Creative Card Crew: Birds

Mojo Monday Sketch

Love to Create- Trick or Treat

Paper Playtime: Boo! 

Simon Says: orange Black + 1

Papercraft Star: pumpkins

 

 

Movie Night!!!

 I don't know about you, but we are so busy during the week we always like to have a 'movie night' with the kids on the weekend. It happens sometimes on Friday night, and sometimes on Saturday night and is sometimes a short show, but we do it together with snacks and laughing and a little fighting between the kids :D but I love every second of it.

I created this card using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp: Candy Corn Girl. 

I LOVE to use stamps for themes other than what they appear to be created for. She is easy to mask off with the bowl of candy corn, or to cover like I did. The spider in her hair is easily hidden by drawing over it to be a hair bow, placing a rhinestone or flower... and voila! She is ready to go! :D

Candy Corn Girl was colored with prismacolor markers. The pink paper was created by me :D
I used some dyes my mom gave me, splashed a few dots on the paper and swiped over it with a sponge. I then took two nestabilities dies and created this fun little frame for my sentiment. I used black and white twinery twine around the left side of the frame. The pop corn was created using puffy paint. Her shirt was an oops, but looks cute IRL. She was covered with fun flock, but it did not look as fuzzy and full as I wanted... so I added more and made a mess.. then I decided to add stickles over it. It made a crystalized looking sparkly shirt. Not sure what to call it. but It was NOT exactly what I wanted nor was it a total disaster :D


This card was created for the
Play Date Challenge: Black and White with a splash of Hot Pink
and for the Sketch at Eat Sleep Stamp

I hope you all have a super wonderful bright sunshiny Saturday

LOTS of HUGS and SMILES!

Some SWEET Treats

Good Morning!

We at FBD are creating some fun Spooky but SWEET treats for your inspiration this week. 

I found these sweet little bags at i {heart} papers and decided to get a few to make my little girl something special for a few of her friends at dance. I felt bad not taking one for all of the kids, but everyone did get a chocolate treat and I {think} they were happy with that. I plan to get more and make them (or something else) all something for Christmas :)

These treat holders were created using the clear treat bags and a bit of cardstock, glue and raffia. They were fun and easy to create and I think they turned out super cute! don't you?!?

Inside I added Candy Corn M&Ms which in my opinion tasted terrible! lol!!!

That was good, since my kids are allergic, I let them know quickly they were NOT missing out on anything. 

:D.

 

Candy Corn Spider Girl Digi

This card features the FBD rubber stamp

Candy Corn Girl

She is holding a bowl of sweet treats :D

The papers for this card are by Bo Bunny Boo Crew. The EEEEEEK stamp is by Martha Stewart. 

I added google eyes to the background paper and a little strip of orange glitter in her hair. 

I hope you will get to stop by and check out our new challenge HERE and play along with us.

MONSTER Mash MONDAY

GOOoOOoooooD Morning! (said in my best spooky voice )
Last week was busy with blog hops, stamp and digi releases and all that wonderful stuff.

Please welcome the Candy Monsters to our Fresh Brewed Family!

(rahhhh, cheer, clap clap clap)

Aww, you have all made them feel right at home. Thank you!!!

I first want to introduce to you 

CANDY CORN MONSTER

I colored this guy with my prismacolor markers.  Then I covered him with meadow flower soft. I LOVE how he turned out! The kids just want to rub and feel of the card... and I was mean and made them wait until AFTER I snapped my picture, lol!!! The black patterned paper is double sided Bo Bunny Boo Crew, the green dot paper is from a MME bright dots stack. The orange paper is scrap and the white cardstock by Papertey Inc. I stamped the sentiment using a Dear Lizzy American Craft clear stamp set and cut out the circles with my cricut. The big circle was cut using a Nestabilities lacy circle die

All Three of the new monsters can be found HERE in the Holidays: Fall / Halloween section of the shop

Candy Corn Girl {hehehe. silly me, she's not scary!}

I created this card by using some scraps of embossed black cardstock my mom had received in a folder a few years ago (it was not a crafting folder, but from a real estate agent or something ) I finally used it! :) I cut the shapes out to fit the corners and inked it with Ink it Up white pigment ink. The BG paper was bazzil solid cardstock. I embossed the lines using my score pal and then inked over it with black. The web is stitched using white and black thread together. I poked holes with a thumbtack and then sewed it on. Next time I will plan it better and draw it out first :). The I added the little brad spider. The door was created with a door frame matt, (the size of an ATC) then a folded piece glued to it to make the door. I added a kickboard to the front of the door, a handdrawn window and a jackolantern brad. the doorknob is simply a gold brad. I inked around the door with the white ink. The inside was framed with black. I used scraps to make the wall and flooring. I had a $1 chandelier stamp from the michaels bin (OLD) that I stamped in the background. I Took my Candy corn girl colored wtih prismacolor markers and pre cut, and gently placed (glued) her inside the door. VOILA! there you have it :D

When getting cards ready for the hop the girls and I chatted often. My friend Vanessa said that she had some cards made with her and was so excited. I sent her a peek of this card and she quickly emailed me back {laughing} because we made nearly the exact same card!!!!

Don't you just LOVE it?!?! Oh my goodness. That ghost is hilarious. I got online today and guess what I found? SHE POSTED THIS CARD TODAY AS WELL!!! Be sure to stop by Vanessa's blog and check out the deets and the sweet photos (she even has a pic up my card too :D hehehe)

I got all of my issues worked out! :D YAY ME!!! I really do enjoy them. I am not a big Halloween person. I like the cute stuff and seeing the kids dress up and the 'sweet' stuff .... but the other stuff I can really do without. For instance the hanging people from one of the tall towers on the highway. Yea, I try to distract my kids every time we drive by that thing :( Eesh!!! BUT ANYWAY ;) I am heading out for the day but wanted to first share a few sweet cards with you... and share a little personal fun with you.

I really had a lot of fun creating this card I am sharing with you today. I found a bag full of test tubes on sale a while back and snagged them up. I really did not look to see how many, I just saw it was under $3 and forgot until I got them in the mail. I am now holding about 2oo of these babies!!! I will have to do some brainstorming on how to use them ;).

For this card I used my Fresh Brewed Designs image: Dr. Corn Mad Scientist

I colored him up with my prismacolor markers, added glow in the dark paint to his face and the test tube in his hand. I also added glow paint to the test tube, a few googley eyes, and snow paint to accent the foam bubbling from the tube. The tube is tied to the card using black raffia. All the papers used for this card were from my scrap pile.

(lit up with a black light to show how it glows in the dark)

This card is approved for the following challenges:

Eat Sleep Stamp: Sketch
Fab n Funky: bump in the night
Spoon full of sugar: Boo!
