Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

Here is our latest November monthly challenge grid –

I gravitated towards Vellum, Baker’s Twine Thanks –

I am just loving this Plush Poinsettia Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Just look at how gorgeous it is –

Foe my card, I stamped the sentiment using the Stamparatus along the right edge. The ‘thank you’ is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set.

I used this gorgeous velum to border on the other side.

Simple. Elegant. Easy.

To finish it off, I added a piece of twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo.

Please check out the other Design Team cards here. We all use a variety of products so you’re in for a real treat! Even scrapbook pages!

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Anything But A Card

November 6, 2020 · 2 Comments

Hello! Happy Friday!

How about a hop to finish the week out?

Our theme this month is anything but a card.

Perfect timing! Every year I create a gratitude journal for my fall classes. Since this year is different with virtual classes, I created an adorable box of goodies from the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes –

And, inside is this years journal –

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment omitting the ‘you’ in the sentiment. Just another idea of why the Stamparatus is so worthy to be in your craft stash!

Also in the box are four coordinating cards –

Each uses part of the same piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! And, actually I only used 1 sheet for the entire project! That is 6 items created from one 6″ x 6″ piece of pattern paper!! Wow!

I added both the leaves and die cut circles in Cajun Craze, as well as the Copper Foil ‘heart’ leaves to the projects. Added just a touch of elegance.

This turned into a lovely gift set to create! I think this will be a popular class this year! Wouldn’t you agree?

We have some wonderful ideas on our hop today! Check them out below!

Ink. Stamp. Share. Autumn / Fall / Halloween Blog Hop

October 24, 2020 · 9 Comments

Welcome my stampin’ friends!

Time to hope around with these talented group of creators! Our theme this time around is autumn / fall / Halloween.

I chose fall –

I used the same layout I used earlier on another post, I just oriented this one the other way.

I featured the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper here because it is soo pretty!

I added stamped, punched pumpkins as they are soo fall! Both are from the same punch, the top one I just trimmed the sides to make narrow.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp. The punched leaved are from the same pattern paper, Gilded Autumn using the Autumn Punch Pack.

I love this layout! What do you think?

Check out the other great projects on our hop.

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

And, here is what I did with it –

Playing with fall stuff again!

This time the gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper along with the Beautiful Autumn bundle.

I stamped two different leaves, colored them with Blends and punched them out. I placed them on a sheet of the Designer Series Paper that was embossed leaf and acorn images.

I added the sentiment stamped in Misty Moonlight and punched using the Classic Label punch.

Simple. Cute. Quick.

Hey There

Hey there! That’s right, hey there!

I have been soo in love with these leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies. Just look at the die set –

I created this sweet card to show combining techniques –

Isn’t this just the sweetest, like I said???

I had ran across this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and this it what was my inspiration for this lovely.

I die cut the three leaves including the center dashed detailing. I ran them through the Old World Paper 3D folder, leaves are never flat. This was such a nice detail that adds realness to the whimsy of these colors.

I placed these on a piece of the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. A great versatile pack of plaid papers great for all occasions!

Lastly, I added the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set punched with the Classic Label Punch.

This will bring a smile to whoever gets it, don’t you agree?
