Thinking Fall

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.

My card will be shared with: Four Seasons September 2026 Fall Season Challenge

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!!!

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

Hey!

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.

My card today will be shared with:

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.

Always fun to play along with challenges. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

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.

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.
