Whimsy Stamps released a limited time “Summerween” Halloween stamps and even though I told myself that I did NOT need anymore Halloween stamps to add to my stash….here is Summerween Scream. My instant photo frames are Tay,lored Expressions dies. I was a bit upset that I waited too long for the patterned paper pack that was included in the release though. I think I will have to admit that I was encouraged by my granddaughter to make this purchase. I’m glad I did because they images are super cute.

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: July 2026 Anything Goes Halloween

I was inspired by the red in the mood board for my card project. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. The rain has stopped, the excessive heat has dropped so it was a pleasant day today. Take care and make it a great day.

Two versions of my Red White and Blue card and not totally patriotic. My cards use Taylored Expressions Cottage Charm layering stencil and die, Twinkle Twinkle background stamp, Star Spangled Sentiments, Arched Stacklets Die and Petite Scallop Arched stacklets dies for the red frame card and Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles for the blue frame.

Winter blues with pops of red from my cardinals. My card today was made using Simon Says Stamps Forest Border embossing folder which was embossed on a piece of SSS patterned paper that was in my stash. After swiping a bit of Taylored Expressions Tiki Mule ink over the raised embossed areas for a bit more dimension, I die cut a cardinal from TE’s winter birds dies as well as TE Little Bits Birds and Birdhouses dies. Layered a SSS sentiment strip. I haven’t played in awhile with Peace on Earth challenge blog but with the temps in PA hitting 100 degrees this week in my hometown maybe I can stay cool by working on Christmas cards. As you can see by their mood board, I was inspired by adding a “red” bird!!

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest for my card today. My tropical leaves are Michael’s Recollections dies cut in three different shades of green cardstock. The hibiscus flowers are from an old Gina K Designs Aloha Diva stamp set and GKD Wealth of Wishes sentiment to complete my card. Lots of green with a pop of color.

Taylored Expression’s monthly Combo Club this month was a stamp/stencil/die combo names Pressed Petals. My flowers were ink blended using TE’s shade sequence of Royal, Icing, Tiki Mule and Sour Gummy inks with a bit of Granny Smith for the leaves. After die cutting, I added the focal image to a piec of Tike Mule cardstock on which I used Quilted Cutting plater for some dimension. A white thin frame was added and all adhered to Tiki Mule note card.
