Something a bit different today for me. My fall wreath was made in mind for a friend’s November birthday. Using some bits and pieces of previously inked and die cut leaves from Taylored Expressions and two different sizes of mushrooms to decorate my unbranded wreath die. Not sure if I needed the die cut bow but it’s there! Sentiment is also a TE stamp/die. A SSS woodgrain background stamp inked in ivory pigment ink on ivory cardstock.

My wreath card will be shared with:

Orange, pumpkins, two embossing folders and a layering stencil for today’s card. It was a happy mail delivery today with a new Taylored Expressions Harvest Hues layering stencil and foil it panels. The stencils make 4 different images that were just the right size for the TE Arched Nouveau dies and Ridged Arch nouveau die. My orange panel was embossed using TE’s Garden Trellis embossing folder and the vellum piece was embossed with TE’s Swiss dots embossing folder. Sentiment is also TE.

My favorite fall treat is celebrating our grandson’s birthday….it’s a treat to see him and enjoy birthday cake! For my card, I used Taylored Expressions Easy Strip Maps in green and gold which are his high school’s colors. The gold and white strips were die cut using 1/8″ stitched die and the green strips were cut at 1/2″. Our grandson played soccer for his school this year so the TE soccer die was perfect, number dies were a combination of different dies from my collection and the words were also a TE product.

Making a city Christmas delivery with my card today. Most holiday cards seem to use forest and snowbanks as their background but I thought I would try to create a city background using Hero Arts City Heroscape stamp/die. Distress Oxide inks for my night sky and a Gina K Designs stencil with white pigment ink. I took inspiration from the mood board by featuring the Stampendous pick up truck and presents. Sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

My card will be shared with:

Peace on Earth Christmas: Challenge #98

Of course after I loaded the presents into the pick up truck, I realized I should have used the tree included in the set and it would have represented the tree being delivered to Rockefeller Center in NYC. Oh well!!! I was thrilled that my card on the last challenge was a Top 3! Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care; stay safe.

One of my favorite get well stamps that has been neglected for quite some time but it is a good thing that I didn’t have a reason to dig up Art Impressions Doggy Kisses stamp set out of my stash and make a speedy recovery card. I’ve been trying to organize all of my supplies and came across another very neglected item which is Spellbinders Labels 8. After die cutting the image, I left the paper in the die and remembered the old trick to blend around the edges with ink. And finally more neglected patterned paper from my stash. My card today will be shared with the fun:

This is a great challenge to find goodies that have been neglected but still are fun to use.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. My card will be going to a dear girlfriend who had shoulder surgery. She’s a dog lover so I’m sure she will get a chuckle out of this bandaged up dachshund.
