Divinity Angel

I received this sweet little angel die from Divinity Stamps with a recent order I placed and just needed to die cut her out. The die includes the halo, a candle and a little star to hang from her hand. Another piece of patterned paper pulled from my stash (SimonSaysStamp, I believe), die cut an oval from the patterned paper then backed it with the Spellbinder’s scalloped oval. Sentiment was from my stash.

My card today will be shared with:

Peace on Earth Christmas: September 2026 Challenge #119

I was inspired by the angel on their mood board. I originally had a gold halo but switched it out for silver.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I’m bopping all over different seasonal cards with Halloween, Fall/Thanksgiving, a bit of Christmas and still need to complete my card swap cards. In between attending our grandson and granddaughter’s high school soccer games, watching the Phillies and now it’s the Eagles, making cards in the “elf room” is a bit haphazard and I need to get a plan together and prioritize my card making! LOL!! Thank again for stopping in for a peek. I apprecaite you and your time. Take care and make it a great day!!

Wild Oat Grass

A search of my stencils uncovered this Creative Expressions Wild Oat Grass DL Stencil that was never inked and not sure how long it was in my stash. I believe it was on clearance at my Michael’s and it was time to ink it up. Originally I wanted to stencil it on a dark background. I applied white pigment ink for a base then the honey mustard ink but it was a fail so used the honey mustard on white, mounted on a honey mustard card base, stamped a TE Sentiment in black,. added some TE butterflies and a kraft thin frame to complete today’s card.

I will be sharing my card with the following challenges:

Masculine Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our grandson-in-law’s. It seems I use the red and black combo a lot for masculine cards. Patterned paper is from my stash, fractured die is one I bought on Amazon. At first, I printed the sentiment on white cs but thought it looked too stark, so I printed on Very Vanilla to tone it down a bit. I wasn’t sure I liked it at first, but now I think it’s ok.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Vase It

A sunflower stamp from an old Hampton Arts/Outline stamp set, Taylored Expressions Boho Bowls die set, a bit of black spatter and framed with Spellbinder’s Hemstitch Rectangles dies and Waffle Flowers A2 Lacy Layers dies completes my card today. After stamping and coloring the sunflower, I added layered die cut bowls, popped out all the dots from the hemstitch rectangle die and used the lacy scalloped die. My sentiment is from my stash . Although, my image is not quite centered, I am liking this card.

Fall Florals??

Can leaves be considered florals? Maybe?? Anyway my card today uses a new patterned paper from Divinity Designs’ Autumn Splendor Paper Pad and Happy Harvest paper pad design images which were die cut using my good old Spellbinder’s oval and scallop oval nestabilities. The sentiment and the extra leaf die cuts are from The Rabbit Hole Designs Fall Foxes.

My card will be shared with:

Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge September 2026 challenge with an optional theme of Fall Florals.

It’s still pretty warm in Pennsylvania and the leaves are all green, most of the plants are still flowering and hubby is still mowing the grass. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

Christening Day

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our newest great-grandbaby. Embossing folder used is by Sizzex, rectangle dies are Spellbinders, sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with my paper trimmer and corners rounded with a punch. Ribbon was found in my stash.

Photo used is one my daughter ‘Grandma Lisa’ sent to let me know how happy Georgia was that my Pacemaker replacement surgery went well.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Copper Anniversary

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our middle granddaughter. Being that copper and wool are the traditional gifts for the 7th anniversary I decided to go with copper. Instead of going online and finding penny clip art, I actually scanned a penny. I found I had a circle punch the size of a penny, so the paper pennies are actual size. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I added a little note inside explaining the reason for the pennies. This is really pretty simple, but I do like it.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Best Day Ever

I die cut yesterday and finished one card.

I used the A2 Panel die from scrapbook.com and the Echo Park Americana paper pack to create this card. Since stars are in the swag, I added star embellishments using the Lawn Fawn Sequins die. I added double sided adhesive to the back of one of the solid pieces from the same pack before cutting the stars as it made it much easier to affix.

This will be entered in: https://www.asyouseeitchallenge.com/2026/08/380.html

I followed the sketch fairly closely.

I do like this panel die. I have more pieces cut for another project. Hopefully I will have energy soon.

Loving Brown Tones

I have been adding some more browns to my wardrobe lately and thought my card is a good reflection of that. Using Taylored Expressions Rotating Gingham Stencil, I ink blended cinnamon ink on the brown cardstock and toffee on toffee cardstock, cut the panels and then had quite a time trying to line up the pattern. I’m sure there is an easier way but my design lines are pretty close to matching. I stamped TE’s Simple Silhouettes in versamark and heat embossed with champagne embossing powder. The sentiment is also TE’s Anytime Expressions die cut with Modern Sentiment Labels backer die. I must have the original labels die set somewhere and will have to make a search for it. I did make a second card with a few tweeks but forgot to upload it.

My card today will be shared with:

Colorful Options: September 2026 and their color theme of rusty brown.

I used all Taylored Expressions products with the exception of some of the cardstock as I am participating in a card swap for their upcoming Virtual Stamp Joy 2026. Two cards completed on 8 more to go. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.
