Stunningly Sage

This is my third post for today!! I hope you have stayed with me for all my postings. All of my posts are about Thanksgiving. Lot's of ideas for you.

 

Since it is the first of the month, we have a new color challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge. A perfect color for Thanksgiving- stunningly sage. Not only a great color but the perfect addition top your Thanksgiving meal.

My card today features a new stamp from Penny Black-"Pumpkin Stack".  I love how you can be so creative with coloring pumpkins. I have so many different colored pumpkins this year.

My video inspiration comes from Simon and Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair.

You have all month to share your stunningly sage creations with us at The Rainbow Card Challenge.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

 

Harvest blessings

Did any of you have the opportunity to join in the "plaid" challenge at Inky Paws last week? If not you still have one more week to join the fun. Who doesn't love a plaid. Halloween is over and the slide into Christmas starts with Thanksgiving. Time to get started!

My card today I used the gingham stencil from Newton's Nook. To add interestl I just turned the stencil upside down to create the lattice look and I then added the black lines for an accent. The image is from "Autumn Newton" by Newton's Nook.

Come and cozy up with out plaid challenge at Inky Paws.  We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog.
The deadline to enter today's challenge is  Friday, November 5, 2021 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at Inky Paws.

 

Count down

 

Halloween is over and that means we are on a slippery slope to Christmas. This is my busiest time of the year. I have just finished my Halloween cards, Thanksgiving cards need to be finished and then the biggest holiday of all- Christmas!

Right now though, I am going to focus on Thanksgiving. Normally I make about 35 Thanksgiving cards. I made a Thanksgiving card for each of my staff to tell them how grateful I was for each of them, but since I no longer and working and have a job I am down to 12! I wonder if any of them will miss their cards this year?

 

 

Today starts a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. A fun color challenge, that at first I was skeptical, but love the card I made! Brown, tangerine and sky blue.

My card today features "Fairy Tale Florals" by Altenew.

I used an easy water color technique from Therese at Lost in Paper.

In case you didn't know Cupcake Inspirations is looking for DT members. Please see this post for all the information! The Sweeties are a great group of gals to work with! Lots of fun and inspiration!

Meanwhile, join in our new color challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. You have two weeks to play along!

Happy Halloween!

 

HAVE A SPOOKY DAY!!

EEEEEEEK

 

I made so many Halloween cards, I thought I share one just because I can. You can love a trio of fun loving bats. Scary?!!? I think not!!!

I used an old set from Ellen Hutson-"Happy Haunting". This one of my favorite creepy stamp sets. You can use it in so many ways!

Here is the wee witchy Pixie getting into what ever she can. Her middle name is trouble maker!!

Wishing all of you a fun Halloween!!

Witchy witch

You don't have much time left, if you have been waiting to get your spooky on. Halloween is next Sunday. So let's get those cauldrons boiling and let's see some creativity bubbling over! 

Who doesn't love a plaid! Especially a cozy plaid. Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. We want you to add a plaid! Plaids are so hot right now. You have plaid stamps, stencils, and even dies!

This wee witchy cat from Newton's Nook paired perfectly with the "plaid stencil" set from Newton's Nook.  Pretty sure this adorable and not the least bit scary card is going to my niece.

Boo to you

Soooooo....... from the scary to the cute. Last week for my Halloween card at Cupcake Inspirations, I wanted to "be afraid" Were you?  This week I want you to smile. I saw this card at Simon Says Stamp and used it as my inspiration. 

 

You have one more week to get spooky creative at Cupcake Inspirations!

Today's card features the "hey ghoul" die from My Favorite  Things.  The original ghost die had a smile, but a hole puncher wiped that smile from my ghosties faces! The stencil is from Altenew.

You have one more week to get your spooky on at Cupcake Inspirations!
