Using My Favorite Things Cable Knit stencil and Gina K Designs Christmas Pine ink, I inked my focal panel and inked the layering panel in the same color ink. Adding a silver embossed sentiment from Gina K’s Holly Jolly stamp set, a ribbon from my stash and Spellbinder’s oval nestabilities die completes this card today.

This may be my beginning of my Christmas cards. Yikes, I’m so far behind but it will be ok. I think I work better under pressure, anyway. So for my card today, the Double D challenge is stripes and/or dots. My striped background was made using Taylored Expressions Easy Strips Maps, green and shimmer white cardstock cut into 1/2 inch strips, Catherine Pooler’s Stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane stamp and die set, and Spellbinder’s Christmas Blooms dies.

No we didn’t fall back to Halloween I’m just playing along with the November 2023 Two Old Bats Halloween challenge with my card today. Keeping it simple and trying to use some of the patterned paper in my growing stash, I just added a stamped and die cut spider from a Tim Holtz set and some white lines sentiment.

I was inspired by the black and white on this month’s mood board.

I had a lot of fun with the The Rabbit Hole Design Fall Foxes stamp set and colored so many of these little critters that I lost count on them. Using a leaf stencil in yellows, adding a piece of vellum for Foxy to nestle on top of and a sentiment from Gina K Designs with a few gems, I eas pretty happy with this one.

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.

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.
