Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for the special server that’s been serving us once a week for years. When I started this card all I knew was that I wanted to use the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits from Stampin Up and I thought the vertical sentiment would work well with it. I double cut the Happy Birthday to give it a little more body. The sentiment dies are unbranded. The colors were decided when I found this pp in my stash.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Willow Lane Rub-On Transfers from Scrapbook.com that I used for my card. I decided on my design and cut out all of the individual pieces then applied them to my black cardstock layer. The candy on the “ground” reminded me of Trick or Treat with my children and my son dragging his bag on the sidewalk and leaving a candy trail to home. A bit of gold spatter for the background and stamped my Boo sentiment in versamark ink and white heat embossed and added it to a pink card base.
I will be sharing my card with:
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: September 2026 Anything Goes Halloween
Another fun mood board for inspiration.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.
A bit of a different card idea for me. A mushroom embossing folder from Michael’s on patterned paper and swiped with a brown ink pad. This was layered on a Taylored Expressions Postage die with a sentiment from my stash and an unbranded fairy cut from black cardstock and then off set with white.
A great challenge for my card waiting in my to be completed pile. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.
Hello and welcome. Background paper was found online, arched dies used are unbranded, sentiment was printed on the computer. I just made up the sentiment and inside I put RETIREMENT Happy 65th Birthday. This is for my niece who is really looking forward to retiring a month after her birthday. This is a very quick and simple card but I’m happy how it turned out and hubby likes it and I think my niece will too.

Hello and welcome. Here is dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. As usual image and sentiment were found online. “As you get older you have to stay positive. The other day I fell down the stairs. Instead of getting upset, I just thought: Wowww… that’s the fastest I’ve moved in years.” She loved it. I probably should have added some score lines for a little texture but I kind of like it CAS.

Divinity Designs Autumn Splendor patterned paper pad with TE Edge to Edge sentiment and Sentiment Wrap Strip die, Waffle Flowers A2 Lacy die completes this card. Although it’s a quick card to make, I feel the finished card is lovely with that stunning paper design.
Lovely inpsiration board; however, squirrels need keep their space! One left a partially eaten apple on my patio chair and I tossed it in the trash. The next day that squirrel tried to climb up the kitchen window screen and stared me down while I was washing dished at the kitchen sink! The nerve of that little squirrel!!!

A perfect selection of colors for a masculine card and I thought using Taylored Expressions Edgy Strips in 1/2″ and 1/4″ zig zag would make a fun “edgy” background for my TE Mega Messages – Hi Hey Hello which were die cut from the blue cardstock and the shadow in vellum. I couldn’t decide which word die to use so opted for all three.
Love this inspiration image and the colors. I tried to get as close to those required colors as possible. Thank you also to the team for choosing my Quadrant card from last month as a Top Pick. I was thrilled and honored.
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.
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!!
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:
