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 am sharing my color challenge cards for Splitcoast Stampers.
I created this card last week and posted it on November 9. The colors are Granny Apple Green, Polished Pink, and Balmy Blue. The dessert is to add anything else and I chose Yellow. I used the Stampin Up Pierced Bloom dies for the flowers and leaves and used Positive Thoughts and matching dies for the greeting and the butterfly. This went to a woman needing encouragement. This card won an award as the Color Challenge Favorite. I have won this one other time, so I was surprised to see the post.
Each Tuesday there is a new color challenge. I finished a card today for this week’s challenge.
This week’s colors are Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, and Poppy Parade. The dessert is to add any color you like. There is another challenge on Tuesday called Teapot Tuesday. It is usually to send a card to someone who had a loss, a special birthday, or need encouragement. This week’s person is for encouragement. They asked for the acronym CARE, using each letter to mean something on the card. I chose C = Circle, A = Aviary, R = Ribbon, and E = Embossing. I struggled with making up my mind, but liked the final card.
Thank you for sharing in my cards. I try each week to work on these challenges, as long as I have the matching colors or a close-enough match.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our weekly breakfast server.
Patterned paper, clip art image and sentiment were all found online. Sentiment “The little girl said as she asked for more… but what is the turkey thankful for?” Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I wasn’t too sure how this would work but I like the look.
Thanks for stopping by your visits are very much appreciated. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my sweet nail gal.
Cardstock is Stampin Up’s Pumpkin Pie, ef used is The Paper Place Leaves, focal leaf was cut on the Silhouette, turkey is computer clip art that I fussy cut. On the embossed layer I used a sponge dauber with Pumpkin Pie stamp pad, leaf was cut from Pumpkin Pie cs then sponged with Soft Sued stamp pad. Before fussy cutting the turkey I doubled the cs for a little stability then popped it up on the leaf.

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.
Congratulations to the new design team members at The Sisterhood of Crafters especially our Buddy Bonnie. Looking forward to always being inspired and playing along.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
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.
I am sharing the birthday card I made for my husband’s birthday. It has a large sky, so it is perfect for the Seize the Birthday challenge.
The inspiration for this card came from watching many videos of Bears eating in Alaska. I know I wanted a bear and decided to place it in the trees. I saw a similar idea on MayMay Made It’s blog and used it for help with the layout. The bear, trees, and eagle are from Vinnie’s Fav from MayMay Made It. The Happy Birthday is from a Gina K Design set.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card has an interesting beginning. While watching Jeopardy one night this triangle shape was one of the clues and when I saw it, I told hubby I need to try that shape on a fractured card. So off to Google I went to find this shape triangle. After pasting the image into my Hallmark card program, I sized it then printed the sentiment and found the clip art turkey online. Since my fussy cutting didn’t work, I had hubby cut it with an exacto knife and ruler. I had used this pp on other cards but this time I sized it so the design printed smaller. Card stock is Pumpkin Pie from Stampin Up. This card is for our 24 year old grandson.
Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. Here we have another simple Thanksgiving card. This one will go to our youngest granddaughter and her boyfriend.
The card shape is from the Silhouette, pp found online, greeting circle is online clip art. Instead of using the circles from Silhouette I used Stitched Circles dies from Die-namics.
Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
