Fall Flowers

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is fall flowers.

The Impressions Abloom make lovely fall flowers. Just take a look –

I layered two die cuts creating these fuller flowers.

Several stems of leaves give a fuller look. Some are flipped over showing a different texture.

I paced the bouquet on a Branching Out die cut from the Gathering Leaves Designer Series Paper.

I cut a Golf Foil bow from the Christmas Greenery Dies tying the bouquet together.

This card definitely has the fall feels.

Be sure to go around and check us all out! We also love to read comments too. Take a few minutes to say HI, or why you liked our project for the week.

Next up is Melissa Davies, back is Cindy Elam. Keep going to see all of us.

See you next week with more great inspirations!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

Felling the fall feels today using the Label Me Grateful Bundle –

I used a pattern from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper instead of card stock for my stamping as it was light enough. I used a coordinating flower from the paper as well.

Since I wanted to reference hearts from the sentiment, I just punched some out in Gold Foil using the Bee Builder Punch to make my embellishments. It adds a nice sweet touch.

Neutral Fall Colors

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features neutral fall colors.

I pulled out the Artistic Leaves stamp set and began stamping random leaves in Crumb Cake. I added the highlight in Crushed Curry. Dots came next in Pecan Pie.

Now what?

I used the Branching Out Dies and began cutting layers in the stamped piece of card stock along with solid color card stock.

After playing around with different combinations, I really liked this one!

For the sentiment, the Traditional Labels complimented the card nicely.

The assorted sprigs were from the Branching Out Dies.

Such a pretty card!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

I choose to create a fall card with these soft colors.

The Old Olive and Crushed Curry make lovely pears!

I stamped the inside of the pears in Crushed Curry first. I inked up the stamp again, this time in Old Olive stamping off, then stamping over the inside again to give some dimension to the pears.

I used a similar layout to one on Saturday, only horizontal this time and different measurements.

Fall Favorites

October 4, 2025 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our fall favorites.

Fall in general is my favorite! I really like the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper so I am showing it off –

I framed two patterns in Gold Foil. For an added touch, I hand cut leaves from one of the patterns to use around the sentiment. I just love the gold veining.

I stamped the sentiment from the Gathering Moments, one I hadn’t used before, flagging the end.

The twine bow also adds to the love of gold in this card.

To step up my card design, I embossed a layer on the base using the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. Remember to use the Specialty Plate when using this folder to get the right sandwich in any of your machines.

Be sure to go around and check us all out! We also love to read comments too. Take a few minutes to say HI, or why you liked our project for the week.

Falling Leaves with Non-Traditional Colors

September 27, 2025 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features leaves in non traditional colors.

Blues seem to be nontraditional! I started with the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper and went from there.

I was really drawn to the Label Me Grateful bundle too! I started cutting the the fall leaves in Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight, and Secret Sea.

I decided to stamp the sentiment directly on the pattern paper.

I added the leaves to the die cut piece.

It all started to come together. The Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder added enough detail to the pattern paper the card needed.

The triple bow and the Hues of Blues Flowers were great additions to tie all the colors together.

Creative Fruits & Veggies

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is interesting as we are being creative with fruits and veggies!

I got creative with my ‘fruit’ –

I made cute little pumpkins using the Branching Out Dies in a couple different sizes. One is in a pattern from the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper, the other is in Timid Tiger embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder.

I also created a fun fold card!

This panel opens too!

Soo gorgeous! So fun!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

Great sketch for some great new products!

This squirrel bundle – I am in love with it. It’s a stamp and punch appropriately called, Fluffy Squirrel.

We have lots of squirrels in our backyard. Many of which we are able to hand feed. Our cats enjoy watching them eat along with the Bluejays on our back patio.

A small detailed acorn paper from the Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper is perfect for this nut loving animal.

I stamped the acorn on Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. I should have punched them, but fussy cut instead to create the acorns on the card.

Just adorable!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

Of course I went with a fall theme –

But I added a little something to this simple stamping. After inking up the leaf stamp and stamping twice before repeating in a different color to fill the page, I used a Blender Pen to give each leaf and hint of color!

I used all three colors in the challenge to stamp the leaves.

I chose this sentiment with the last word removed to use as a table card for Thanksgiving. It fit nicely into the stitched shape from the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Of course I had to add this ribbon – it is a favorite of mine!

Fall Trees

October 26, 2024 · 1 Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is fall trees!

I used the Autumn Expressions stamp for this beautiful card –

I had fun just stamping for this card! I stamped the leaves randomly for my starting point. I added the stamped wheat below the sentiment. I then decided the card base needed something so I stamped that to!

To give the sentiment more umph, a loop of ribbon and some sprigs made all the different!

This ‘fall tree’ card will be featured on my Card Buffet this weekend. I am sure it will be a hit!

Go forward to check out Melissa Davies, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

Perfect fall colors!

It took me a couple of attempts to get this lovely fall leaf background using the Caring Leaves stamp set. It is a two-step stamp that stamps light and dark, beautifully! I added tiny light dots from the Snowy Wonder set in between the flowers to fill in the space.

However, once I finished it, I didn’t know how to use it! Ever have those days?

I went with a simple sentiment across the bottom that wouldn’t cover up too much.

It still needed something. Then I remembered the Jute Trim. That was it. Just a simple wrap around piece simply tied. I am happy with the finished card!

Simple stamping is not always so simple!

Pretty Fall Colors

October 5, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is pretty fall colors, or in my case, pretty elegant fall colors!

Isn’t this a beauty?

Where do I start?

I embossed Gold Foil with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. This folder also comes with dies, so I cut some leaves out and a strip for my sentiment too!

This sentiment says it all. So much so, I decided to add a vellum die cut heart behind it.

To compliment the gold, this Wild Wheat card base did the trick. The diamond pattern is also foiled as well.

All the textures are are just so wonderful here. All the textures of fall!

Go forward to check out Melissa Davies, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our favorite non Christmas bundle from the new mini catalog.

Anything with coffee is always a hit –

This is the More Than Autumn Bundle, stamp set and dies. Soo cute! I created the to-go cup in Crushed Curry and the band in Very Vanilla hand cut to fit the cup.

The background is a nice pattern paper layout using the Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper. Such cute fall patterns!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

I was in a fall feels mood with these colors!

You haven’t seen this stamp in a while, have you? I guess I hadn’t either. It is the Autumn Leaves. I had to go pull it from my stash as I thought it was retired!

I took one of the leaf stamps and stamped it into a circle creating a flower! Almost a sunflower really. I added a center from the Cheerful Daisies.

The sentiment is also from the Cheerful Daisies. After stamping the flower and leaves – theis sentiment was perfect for this upper blank area.

Lastly, going through my embellishments, I added a few Blackberry Bliss Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots. It rounded out the colors for me.

I haven’t done an all stamped card in a while. I love the way this turned out! What do you think?

Colors of Fall with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

November 4, 2023 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is the colors of fall.

I decided to take a simple stamping approach to this lovely card –

And I think I used just about every color for fall I could think of!

I inked up each stamp and stamped it three times randomly across the page going lighter as I did. I just kept adding and adding again until I got to a point where I thought it was enough.

I got brave enough to add a stamped sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in the lower corner as not to take away from all the gorgeous fall leaves.

I also stamped the word HELLO off a few times before stamping on the card. Somehow as it goes to the right, it is lighter. Not really sure how I accomplished that!

The word friend is nice and crisp to stand out!

When is the last time you have just simple stamped?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Happy O C T O B E R 1st!

Let’s kick this month off with a blog hop with We Create!

And our theme this month is anything related to Halloween!

This is perfect for this great Halloween card! I featured this last week at my September Card Buffet.

I started with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper. Using several of the patterns.

I stamped the Mr. Bones and decided to give him the beret, neck scarf, and mustache – nice as they are all on one stamp!

I used the Stylish Shapes to die cur Mr . Bones and the sentiment. Easy and fun!

Check out the others on the hop to see what spookiness they have in store for us! Up next is Tricia Butt’s from Tricia’s Stamping Creations

A Harvest of Blessings with Ink. Stamp. Share.

September 30, 2023 · 6 Comments

Hello Stampers!

So happy to see you (again) today!

This time around it’s for the talented creators with Ink Stamp Share!

Our theme this month is Autumn! Perfect, as this is my FAVORITE time of the year!

I am also in love with this Pick of The Patch Bundle!

I paired it with the tackle box die from the Gone Fishing Dies! This is such a great die to use for other purposes. It helps to create such a cool layout!

The Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper has the fall feels too! It paired nicely with my vision here.

I featured this card at my September Card Buffet and it was a total hit. Well, except for all the hand cut pumpkins – those that didn’t punch using the punch, lol!

But, this card was totally worth all the effort!
