After being inspired by our Buddy Bonnie’s red leaf card with another fabulous background, I came up with this card. The color is there and the leaf, however, it is more of a clean and simple design. Using some Recollections red shimmer cardstock, Spellbinder’s Hemstitch Rectangles, Gina K Designs Autumn Wishes for my sentiment and SimonSaysStamp’s Large Stitched Maple die my card is complete.

Today’s card will be shared with:

It may still be farm tractor rides to the pumpkin patches and corn mazes at our local farms time but without leaving my house I picked this one of a kind quilted pumpkin from my stash. Last piece of this patterned paper from my stash that I was hoping not to mess up. I liked the soft illustration of wild flowers on it. My quilted white pumpkin is an old red rubber stamp from Serendipity Stamps names Quilted Pumpkin. I was inspired by a mood board and Buddy Johanna’s white pumpkins to follow suit. Sentiment is Gina K Designs So Many Sentiments and dragonflies are also GKD’s Dreams Take Flight.

There are several Halloween Challenges that I decided to play in this month. We have neon, scary and anything goes. So I don’t have any neon inks and didn’t have a chance to borrow my granddaughter’s inks so I made my own neon colors using Bic Highlighters. I scribbled the almost dried out highlighters on some cardstock in yellow and orange, then die cut Tim Holtz’ Sizzix Big Frights 2023 BOO Halloween die and shadow. The spider web is a Cuttlebug Spiderweb folder that I’ve had forever and it was embossed on Michael’s black shimmer cardstock. The green card base is pretty much a neon color too! A little “spooky” especially with a spider included and traditional with the bats, too.

My cards today will be shared with the following challenges:

Colorful Options: October 2023 — NEON

Can You Handle the Pressure: Anything Goes with a twist of spooky and of course the required embossing folder.

Taylored Expressions Quad of the Month Club was fun to be part of and only ran for 6 months. The final create in quad stencils included two sunflower panels and two butterfly panels. After adding a thin frame, sentiment backed with a vellum circle and a few bits of embellishments, my card is complete.

So many goodies for this fright night gnome that I needed to make a flat shaker card to contain all of them. Using Taylored Expressions Gnome dies and the add on Fright Night dress up dies, a little coloring and assembly completed my gnome. The web patterned paper is from my stash as are the shaker goodies. I appreciate that TE has added dress up add on’s to the original gnome die set. Makes it fun to keep on using this set and investment.

Saturday in the pouring down rain I joined my girlfriend who is now a 2 year breast cancer survivor along with her daughter and maybe another thousand women for the 5K Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. During her journey with radiation treatments, I sent her weekly cards of support and believe she will get a good chuckle when she receives this card.

My card was made using a combination of the Taylored Expressions Gnome die sets, some clipart I found online, pink ribbon is from GKD’s Fight Like a Girl stamp set, dragonfly which have a special meaning to my dearest gf are also GKD’s Dreams Take Flight stamp set and TE’s Linen Background stamp. It was a challenge finding pinks that didn’t clash with each other.

A labor of love! 270 cards for troops group that I mostly made throughout this past year and the card classes I took. Normally I have a group of 6 girlfriends that I make packets for assembly and finishing touches but only two were able to “play” this time around. They did great and learned how to stencil and were amazed at the Taylored Expressions Create in Quads stencils.

Not too much of a mess to clean up after our session. I could have shocked everyone by taking a photo of my “elf” room! YIKES!!

No more posts for me today. Have a great one everyone. Fall has arrived and it’s beginning to feel like soup weather too.

Working on some Fall cards and after visiting Pinterest decided on this card which uses Gina K Designs Skelton Leaves stamped in key lime ink and fussy cut them out. Sentiment is also GKD Autumn Wishes stamped in Fresh Asparagus. Layered Altenew’s Linear Crossroads die after die cutting twice, adding a little bling and layering on a green cardstock.
