Hi For Fall

Time for our new challenge at Pick 3,
the challenge where you pick three of the elements below. 

My pick three was pretty easy as I decided to make a fall card,

perfect just to say 'hi' or for a fall birthday.

I chose Brown~Leaves~Checks.

Products used:

Paper Rose Wood Panel Embossing Folder
Cottage Cutz Stitched Leaves
Honey Bee Gingham Checks
Paper Smooches Hello Words
Distress Inks (several colors)

This is one of my favorite embossing folders, even though not a 3D
it embosses beautiful panels.  The leaf dies are a fist time use,
I like them so much that I am sure I will use them again and again,
the detail stitching on them is great, another set I picked up
during one of their fabulous sales.
The sentiment is one that I won from a challenge blog,
I miss Paper Smooches as they had great dies and such!

More true to the color of leaves and acorns:

Sweet Holiday

It's the start of our second challenge this month at
Peace on Earth
and we have a mood board for inspiration.
You can however create any Christmas themed project you want. 

When I looked at this board I saw candy canes, candy canes and more
candy canes lol.  So of course that is what I went with.
I used a 'new to me' Newton's Nook stamp set but have no idea of the 

name as it was given to me and the stamp set says 2017 so am assuming it 
is retired, colored in with Copics and Olo markers.  I used some papers from P13 Santa's Workshop, a Cottage Cutz

die and a bit of Crystal Nuvo for the hat  and oval.  The sentiment is
part of the stamp set.

Come on over to Peace On Earth and join our challenge!

Your Special Day

 It's challenge time at Double D and we are asking  to see PINK
as our theme is Pretty In Pink
with a PINK mood board for inspiration !

I had something totally different planned for MY pink card
but then received these Katy Sue 3D kits purchased with an Amazon

gift card I had received.  These are part of a 3D wedding set that you receive
2 each of three different designs.  When my grandson got married my relatives
all but cleaned me out of wedding cards, so I have slowly been trying
to replace them.

Halloween Greetings

We have a couple more weeks left for our year round
Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
and a fun mood board for inspiration! 

I was inspired by those spooky witches.

I had a Cricut cut witch in my spare parts box and she has been waiting
patiently for quite some time to appear.  I didn't want her to cast any

spells on me so I put her and her fun back riding kitty to use.
The paper is Crafters Companion Vintage Halloween.

There is still time, come join in our fun at Two Old Bats!!

Welcome Autumn

Hello friends, I am guest designing this month at the very fun challenge at   
I Spy With My Little Eye 
with the theme of TEXT.

I created my card with some fun fall background text from an OLD
and I do mean old paper from Pebbles (2016).
It may be old, but it worked perfect for my Cottage Cutz Acorn Owl.
I used several different colors of TH Distress inks to color my owl,
all pieces were die cut from an ivory/cream card stock scrap!
The sentiment (cut three times and stacked) is a die from 
Karen Burniston Word Set 7 - Autumn.
I also used a Waffle Flower Lacy Layers 2 to cut the text background.

I want to thank Ellie for having me a guest designer this month and
certainly hope YOU will come and join the fun challenge too!

Thoughts of You

Beautiful Blossoms challenge starts today,
the challenge that is all about blooms!  As always there is a pretty
inspiration floral to inspire but any floral is invited! 

I had fun stamping and coloring this card with Copic's and
using a pretty Simon Says stamp set Vintage Garden.
I stamped two of the four floral images in this set.

The set also includes several  large sentiments, one of which

I used on this card.  A Poppystamps Nordic butterfly was added
left over from another project.

We would love to see YOUR florals over at Beautiful Blossoms!

Cloudy Day

At Can You Handle The Pressure our OPTIONAL theme is
 Cloudy Day
but you can create anything as long as you have used an
embossing folder, after all, that is what our challenge is all about.

I used a couple fun things for this card,
a Simon Says EB folder Heart Showers.  This folder also comes with the
cloud  dies, so CUTE!!
The stamp set is from Colorado Craft Get Together.
The heart balloons are some I picked up at a craft store a few years back,
I am slowly using them up.

We would love to have you come and join in our embossing folder
fun at Can You Handle The Pressure!
