Happy Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Thought it was time to get started on Thanksgiving cards. Background paper is Carta Bella. Pumpkins are from an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s, fussy cut and popped up. Sentiment was printed on the computer. At first, I wasn’t too sure if I liked it but the more I look at it the more I like.

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

Special Woman

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear old sister’s chuckle card. Since it’s Halloween month I decided to make it kind of Halloweeny. Dies used are from an unbranded set. I edged the white layer with black using a sponge dauber and black stamp pad. As usual image and sentiment were found online. “SPECIAL WOMAN Hated By Many, Loved By Plenty, Heart On Her Sleeve, Fire In Her Soul, & a mouth she can’t control.” D-o-s loved it but thought the last line fit me more than her. 🙂

Rocker Christmas

I have a rocker card. I have been participating in the Falliday challenges at splitcoaststampers and one was to make a rocker card. I have never made one before, so thought I would try it.

I am adding this to the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge. I am choosing the Anything Goes challenge.

I used WPlus9 Nutcracker Christmas set for the tree and presents. All were fussy cut after coloring with Ohuhu markers. I used a 4 1/2 inch circle die to cut my base. I found a white base boring, so I used scraps from a Bo Bunny Christmas paper stack. I put double sided adhesive on the front of the base, then adhered strips. The card base is Accent Opaque 80 lb. White cardstock.

Thank you for looking at my card. I watched a short video by Ardyth for tips in making it.

Dancing Mummy

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 9 year old great-grandson. Background paper was found online, mummy is computer clip art. Mummy was printed on white cs then I lightly sponged it with Smokey Slate then fussy cut it and popped it up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I did add 3 tiny vellum ghosts. I wasn’t too sure about it till I should it to hubby and he liked it.

I’m now entering this at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: October 2026 Mid Month Reminder

Puff!!

Whimsy Card Front “Lil Friends” was just too much fun not to use on a card. I built around the focal image using Whimsy Stamps Chunky Checkers die, adding a Photo Play pumpkin sticker and a SimonSaysStamp tree die. Sentiment from my stash and the backer layer is Taylored Expressions Wonky Frame. This card will go to a special friend’s granddaughter who is trying to find time to make cards with me.

My card will be shared with:

Two Old Bats October 2026 Anything Goes Halloween Challenge

Hello Pension

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my niece who is retiring. Again, I did a very simple card. Background paper, image and sentiment were found online. Arched panels are an unbranded die set.

We just had a very fun short visit from one of our granddaughters, hubby and their precious 5-year-old daughter. It was so fun having a little one around.

Cozy Window

Using Taylored Expressions Window to the World cutting die for my TE Cozy Christmas Create in Quads wreath on which to hang. The wreath was also a TE Foil-It product which was run through my Fuse with gold foil. The background (outside) view of my window is a night sky using Recollections Splatter paper pad from my stash. I did run TE’s Tiny Twinkles embossing folder over the splatter paper and then lightly swiped with a white pigment pad that definitely needs reinking. Sentiment is also TE which was part of the Cozy Christmas bundle. I really enjoy TE’s Create in Quads and their add on products. Nice to stencil four different card fronts at a time. My card will be shared in the:

Doubld D Challenge: Windows 2026 Challenge

As inspiring as these fall windows were on Double D’s mood board I opted for winter. It almost felt like winter today. I was going to join hubby at a car show but with the cold winds and temperatures, I opted to stay in my elf room. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day!

tiny BEE

Well not that tiny but a clean and simple card for today. Cuttlebug Honeycomb embossing folder embossed on a white panel with a Taylored Expressions April critter crew bee stamped and die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix stacked hexagon tiles. The tiny sentiment was from a Sweet & Sassy stamp set from my stash. I scored a few lines on the card base for a bit more texture.

Today’s card will be shared with:

Simply Clean & Simple October 2026 Challenge with an optional theme of Something Tiny (keep it little and CAS)

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

Spooky Fun

A 1st Halloween card for a little one who’s grandmother (my friend) loves to decorate for Halloween. My card uses Whimsy BOO-keh patterned paper and a some Scrapbook.com Willow Lane Rub on transfers. Taylored Expressions Wondy dies for the focal image and the shaped card, too. My card will be shared with:
