Thanksgiving

Hi Everyone,

I know I've skipped right over Halloween with my card, but it grew out of the fall themed patterned paper that I made using the following stamps:

Open Leaf -Brown ink

Silhouette Branch-Green ink

Splatter Background-Orange ink 

I added a dry embossed pumpkin panel (Cuttlebug folder), attached the die cut Close to Your Heart Thanksgiving Greeting and added this to a brown card base. 

To finish, I added a die cut leaf (Darice) and a raffia bow.

It fully feels like fall in my part of the world right now, but if you need extra inspiration, check out all the fall, Halloween and harvest stamps right here!

Happy Stamping!

Goodbye Summer

Hi Everyone,

I knew I wanted to mark this time of year using the Goodbye Summer Hello Fall Greeting on a card, but I was struggling for ideas.  I had multiple ink pads out, pumpkin and leaf stamps, dies... and well, you name it! My table and mind were an overwhelming mess, so I pared it all down and ended up making a monochromatic card. Depending how you look at things, this took me either 2 hours, or an actual 20 minutes. 

The greeting was die cut and heat embossed, and I used the Fall Leaf with Acorn for the background and the fussy cut embellishment.

I wrapped a strip of leaf embossed paper with some plain twine, before attaching everything using dimensional foam dots.  

The card is much more fall than summer, but I'm ready to usher in the new season later this week!

Pumpkin Spice

Hi Everyone,

With today's card share, I'm celebrating that favorite fall flavor of pumpkin spice!  

I began by stamping the Paper Coffee Cup a few times and fussy cutting everything to create the lid and sleeve.  The cup itself was stamped using the pumpkins from the 4 in 1 Harvest Designs and then I wrapped it with a bit of raffia.

The Pumpkin Spice Everything Nice Greeting was die cut and layered (along with the cup) onto a background that was wrapped with lace and stamped with the Pumpkin Pile.

Thanks for visiting today!

Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

When it comes to cardmaking, September is a heavy birthday month for me.  It would be great if I planned ahead, but since my good intentions usually fail, my cards tend toward a simple design.

I stamped the Wordy Birthday Greeting in black, orange and red ink, adding some yellow sponging around the die cut. I attached the sentiment at an angle to an embossed cupcake background and added the fussy cut Birthday Party Pig.  Both of these stamps can be found at DRS Designs.

To finish it off, I added a few punched stars for a confetti like embellishment :)

Thanks for stopping by!
