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.

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.

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.

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!!

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:

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.

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.

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.

I have been adding some more browns to my wardrobe lately and thought my card is a good reflection of that. Using Taylored Expressions Rotating Gingham Stencil, I ink blended cinnamon ink on the brown cardstock and toffee on toffee cardstock, cut the panels and then had quite a time trying to line up the pattern. I’m sure there is an easier way but my design lines are pretty close to matching. I stamped TE’s Simple Silhouettes in versamark and heat embossed with champagne embossing powder. The sentiment is also TE’s Anytime Expressions die cut with Modern Sentiment Labels backer die. I must have the original labels die set somewhere and will have to make a search for it. I did make a second card with a few tweeks but forgot to upload it.

My card today will be shared with:

Colorful Options: September 2026 and their color theme of rusty brown.

I used all Taylored Expressions products with the exception of some of the cardstock as I am participating in a card swap for their upcoming Virtual Stamp Joy 2026. Two cards completed on 8 more to go. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

After wsatching a recent Gina K Designs YouTube card design, I decided to CASE her card using GKD’s Funky Leaves, Scrapbook.com’s A2 card Panel Window die, Taylored Expressions inks, Edge to Edge sentiment heat embossed in gold embossing powder on TE’s Sentiment Wrap Strips die cut on vellum. It took me three attempts to complete this card. First card, I wanted to cut down and panel and cut it way too short, 2nd attempt I double stamped in versafine black and was too impatient to die cut and the ink smeared so finally this third attempt is a keeper. Thank goodness this was not a timed challenge. And for good measure I decided to make a second card using Scrapbook.com’s A2 Collage 1 die using Halloween themed stamps, ink colors and a sticker sentiment.
