Yesterday we headed out to our local Pumpkin Patch for a fantastic fall day enjoying a tractor ride, pumpking chucking, go-carts, picking out pumpkins and of course lots of treats. It was a great day and true family tradition. Today's card will set us up for Thanksgiving wishes as we head into the long weekend. Will you be picking up pumpkins this weekend perhaps for decorating or making into a pie? Happy Fall to all!
Some sparkle and joy for the Season that's just around the corner! Us card makers are always a time or two ahead designing classes and cards for events weeks and months out. It's just the way we are. How about you? Do you make December holiday cards all year round to be ready? Having the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set and die bundle available to purchase in July sure helped me get a jump start. This card is for an upcoming bundle class where we'll explore lots of different ways to design with this beautiful flower. Enjoy!
A truly stunning card by Wendy for our September Stampin' Social Swap! African Violets are a staple in the flower shops and even the grocery store year round as a fairly easy plant to keep so long as you have a sunny window. I find a southern facing window that gets a lot of sun coming in without giving the plant a chill is a great combination and that's what came to mind when I received this card. Enjoy!
Here's week two of my two-for-one cards featuring a Halloween greeting and a thank you card using the same layout but different patterned papers, embellishments and colours. I kind of like this 2-for-1 gig. It's helping me use up my stash of patterned paper. For the one on the right, I jump right into the Painted Pumpkins Bundle with coordinating Painted Patch paper. That embossing folder is called "Rustic" and is my new go-to as it is a great match for any occasion. Enjoy!
Last month Wendy McQuade was our Creative Ambassador and chose the background stamp Inked Floret to create with. I'm excited to share the first of her collection in soft pink and black and using the Exciting Times stamp set and coordinating punch. Using neutrals and just one other colour puts me in mind of the monochromatic card design and I love it! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us, Wendy.
