No-Calorie Doughnuts!

 Happy Thursday, all!  No challenges today!  When the More Than Autumn bundle went on sale, I finally caved and got it!  SO many cute possibilities with it!  My first card uses the doughnut image along with some papers from Made With Love:

Flirty Flamingo is my main color here--I stamped, colored and diecut the donuts out, then mounted them on die-cut squares of the DSP. I stamped the sentiment and did some snipping and trimming:

I added some "sprinkles" as well as some adhesive sequins.  The inside features a sentiment from the retired Six Sayings:

Wish I could have one of these no-calorie doughnuts right now! Yum!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

HSS472 Thankful

 Happy Tuesday, peeps!  I was definitely challenged by the colors at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week:

I admit that Darling Duckling is not one of my favorite colors....I might have used it one time since it came out!  But a challenge is a challenge, so here we go:

I pulled out some older plaid DSP; truthfully, the color in it is Island Indigo, but I thought it was close enough to Pretty Peacock to work!  I diecut some Impression Obsession wheat sheaves in Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger, sponging a little ink on each one to give it a little more depth.  They went on an Everyday Arch diecut that was embossing with the Burlap embossing folder from Honey Bee.  The sentiment was an old Hostess set called Six Sayings, and it was fussy cut and popped up, and I did add a few sequins as well:

The inside sentiment is from the new set called Words for the Season:

And speaking of seasons, it's the season for the Solanco Fair!  Dana and I were amazed at this amazing 530-lb pumpkin!!!  It won, obviously!

There was also a big cow (just an advertisement):

And this was my favorite submission in the photo contest; sadly, it didn't win any ribbons, but it was a winner in my book:

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Vintage Valentine

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I have a little Valentine card for you today; it fulfills two challenges:  the As You See It challenge wants to know what our "crafting resolution" is for the 2025, and the Freshly Made Sketches has a lovely, as usual, sketch:

My crafting resolution is to use more embossing folders this year!  They really add such a nice touch and I don't use them enough!  So here we go:

I haven't done any "vintage" in a long time, so I decided to remedy that with my Valentine.  The printed hearts are all cut out from some papers from a book I picked up at a yard sale; it's from 1887 and called Spelling and Language book.  I used some different heart dies to cut some from Cherry Cobbler cardstock as well, and used some gold glimmer paper for the arrow. 

I used the Distressed Tile, Eyelet and Tin Tile embossing folders to create the layers, then added some Pecan Pie shading.  The scallops are Crumb Cake, and I added a Cherry Cobbler baker's twine bow.  The sentiment is from the retired Six Sayings; I stamped it on a plain piece from the book.  Here's the inside, using a sentiment from the retired Holiday Best.

It was fun adding all the layers and elements!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

FMS608 FaBOOlous Candy Corn

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  These fall allergies are kicking my butt! I did manage to scrape some time together today to create a fun little card using the FMS sketch.  At first, I had no idea what to do with it, but then a light bulb went on! First, the sketch:

I went pretty literal with it...adding a couple little bits and bobs:

Do you like candy corn?  I feel the same way about candy corn as I do about marshmallows....one or two a year, and I'm good to go!  I don't have any candy corn dies, but I do have Stitched Triangle dies, so I went to work building my candy corn array here, "hanging" them on a twine and adding a retired Hostess sentiment and a little black cat!

They all went on a Crumb Cake panel and then on a Basic White base; here's the inside, with a spooky sentiment and a couple more black cats:

Another to add to my stash!  Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!

CASC&S521 BOO!

 Happy Thursday, peeps!  The weekend is in sight!  I have a fun little clean-and-simple card today using the fun sketch from Clean and Simple Colours & Sketches---it features THREE elements, which is right up my alley:

I got some fun new Halloween papers recently as well as a cute little alphabet die, so I combined them with some retired stamps to creat this:

My diecut squares were created with  papers from Echo Park's Spooky pad and I used some white glimmer paper to create the letters with Lawn Fawn's Oliver's Stitched ABC dies:

The ghost paper is from Honey Bee's Halloween Harvest and the sentiment is from an old SU set called Good Greetings.  The bats were diecut with dies from Scary Silhouettes:

And on the inside, I used a retired Hostess set called Six Sayings with an addition of the "you're" from Paper Studio's Everyday Expressions:

Fun little Halloween card!! I am also entering this at the Krafty Chicks challenge this week, where it is CAS!  

Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!

God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.  So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths; even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence.  Psalm 46: 1-3
