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.

Two Old Bats October 2026 Anything Goes Halloween Challenge

I do believe I can not move on from Halloween and make a few Thanksgiving/Fall cards before starting Christmas cards. Tick Tock Tick Tock!! Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time.

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.

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!

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.

My first attempt at my card was this one:

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Our temps are beginning to show signs of Fall and it’s quite lovely outside today. Take care and make it a great day.

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.

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.
