Thanksgiving Oak Card

Good day! It's time to say goodbye to the month of September and I thought the best way to do that was with a Thanksgiving card. To make this Thanksgiving Oak Card I used a stamp set available at Unity Stamps called Thankful Oak. The images were stamped onto very vanilla cardstock and colored with Copic markers. A piece of bark patterned paper from the Enchanted Harvest paper pad by Bo Bunny (2015) was selected and everything adhered flat. The butterfly was fussy cut and  positioned over the sentiment and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Challenges entered: Double D (Leaves) and Allsorts (Anything Goes with Option of Nature). 

Snow Much Card - TMS #625

Well... hello! Can you believe it's Tuesday again and the end of September? The holiday season is upon us and I can always use extra thank you cards during the holidays. This Snow Much Card was made using this weeks sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. The large snowflake was cut using my Cricut machine and the smaller snowflakes are die cuts. Everything was adhered to a piece of patterned paper from the retired Snowflake Splendor dsp by Stampin' Up!. The Thank You Snow Much sentiment is from the retired Snowflake Wishes stamp set by Stampin' Up! and that's it. We would love for you to join us this week. The design team created some very clever inspiration for you this week! Click HERE to check out their designs and all the challenge details.

Halloween Pug Card

Hello! The month of October is almost here and I still have several Halloween cards to make. When I saw the sketch #679 at Sketch Saturday I knew it was perfect for a quick and easy Halloween card. So, I made this Halloween Pug Card using an image by Newton's Nook called Pug-kin along with a sentiment by Stampendous!. The plaid paper is from the I Love Halloween paper pad by Echo Park (2020). That's it, a simple and easy card. I'm also linking this card to the anything goes challenge at Crafting Happiness. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🎃

Too Legit Card

Good day! It's been awhile since I made my hubby a card. So, I used the fun Hip Hop Bunny stamp set by Taylored Expressions and made him this Too Legit Card. When I met my hubby back in college he had a yellow boom box and we still have it on a shelf in our garage. 😃 It only made sense that I colored the boom box yellow. The background was created using Salty Ocean distress ink and a triangle toss stencil by Taylored Expressions. A polka dot banner anchors the images and a silver die cut star was added next to the sentiment. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Happy Harvest Card

Hooray... Autumn/Fall has arrived!!! I've been counting down the days to cooler weather and we had a small front come through but the warmer weather is predicted to return. So, I will be patient and wait for the next cool front to arrive. 🍂

This Happy Harvest Card features two stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. The Happy Harvest stamp set and the Let's Go Nuts stamp set (squirrel). All images were stamped with Memento black ink and colored with Copic markers. The blue sky was made using Tumbled Glass distress ink and the ink smooshing technique. A frame was die cut using a piece of Lawn Fawn patterned paper and an Avery Elle reverse pinked die. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping, although I may keep this one for myself. Well, that about sums it up. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Joy Owl Card - TMS #624

Good day! This time of year it can be hard to focus on one holiday. One day I feel like making something for Halloween, the next it's Christmas or possibly Thanksgiving. There is no method to my madness! So, this week I used the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge to create a pair of Christmas cards. I thought the sketch was perfect for the owl image by Pink & Main. Plus, when I designed this sketch the idea of using two pieces of 6 x 6 patterned paper was on my mind. The polka dot piece was cut at 4" and the red cut at 2", that gives you the opposite pieces leftover for a second A2 size card. We would love for you to join us this week! The design team created some wonderful inspiration with a variety of occasions. For all the challenge details and to see the design teams creations click HERE. Just remember to link your creation by 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!🎄

Black Cat Halloween Card

Good day! So far I have about half the cards made for Halloween that I need to send to family and friends. I really enjoy using the Hey There Pumpkin stamp set by Unity Stamps. It's super easy to color and I like the size of the image. For this Black Cat Halloween Card I only used scrap patterned papers that were on my craft desk. It's really a simple card and I adhered everything flat for easy shipping. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🎃
