Golden Birthday

There is a new challenge theme today at 
The Sisterhood of Crafters
 and our theme was chosen by our 'sistah' Vicki
and it is The Golden Days of Fall
use gold on your project.

I am happy to say I am actually using a few new things
recently purchased.

The designer paper is Prima Pumpkin and Spice
and the gold die cut is from the Fall Warehouse sale
at Spellbinders.
It is a 2 die set called Leafy Border.
I don't know if you have ever bought from these sales
but when they have them, they are amazing.
I even bought a little die cut machine the Prism for $10.
So cute and it sets on my desk and the die I used fits thru it! 

I also used a few older things, the 'candis' and a die and sentiment 
from Lawn Fawn that I embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkles embossing
powder Gold Detail.

Tot see some elegant and pretty cards created by my 'sistahs'
head on over to The Sisterhood blog!

Regal Reindeer

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi Tutti Fans!

Today I have a very regal new die to share with you 
and it is called Reindeer Head.
This pretty deer head has snowflakes dangling from his antlers
all full of sparkle-y goodness!

The deer was cut from a metallic paper and a darker paper
to create a 'shadow' underneath.

I added diamond Stickles to all the snowflakes to make him shine,

and also added a few gold sequins for even more sparkle.

Here is a closer look at the pretty snowflakes.

I think this is such a pretty die and it cuts like a dream!

October Challenge

Today at Double D Challenges we have a fun new challenge

and an even more fun Mood Board!

The challenge is October and 

'what does it mean to you'?

 

Well first of all, my birthday is in October so a special month to me!

In Michigan October is the start of our what I like to call

'cozy' weather.

Flannels~sweatshirts~apples~pumpkins~falling leaves (lots of them)

but of course it always brings in Halloween at the end.

So my card is focusing on HALLOWEEN!

Have you ever seen a die/stamp that you 'just had to have'

but in searching it is OOS everywhere?

Well that was the case for me, but then I found it on Amazon

and I ordered it on a Sunday and it was delivered the next morning,

Labor Day to be exact .

Problem was I wasn't home to get it for at least another week

so I had my son go to the house and sure enough there is was,

laying at the back door.

So I have used the cutest Spellbinders Sunday Drive dies.

Then they came out with Fall/Halloween to change it up

AND

Sunday Drive with Santa

which I also had to have and you will see on my blog...soon!

I love these cute cute dies.  The main set comes with balloons for a birthday drive.
These dies have the tiniest pieces, but working with Cottage Cutz dies
a lot, I figured they wouldn't be too intimidating
but look at those tiny tail lights...egads!!

Make sure to visit the Double D challenge blog
as the team has amazing cards to inspire you
and of course an awesome prize is up for grabs!!

On another note, did you know there is a NEW
challenge just for Halloween ALL year long?
Check it out HERE at Two Old Bats Halloween challenge!

Pretty Packages

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi Tutti fans!!
Today I have some pretty 'wrapped packages',
well not really, but I do have two cards using two of the four
new FANCY BOWS dies.

These bows are a nice bigger size to really make a statement
when using them on a card.
Both cards were created about the same except by
changing the sentiments and papers,
I used them for two different occasions.

The first card is to celebrate any occasion.

The second card was created for Christmas.

Both cards were made by using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Scalloped Rectangles
and the Nesting Stitched Squares for the 'box'.

Sweater Weather

 Joined in a fun challenge today at
52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
The theme is Winter Sweaters.

As I mentioned before, a friend of mine gifted me with 2 big boxes
of stamps and mostly dies.
This Elizabeth Crafts Design Sweater set was one of them included!

I used papers from Lawn Fawn Knit Picky paper pack,
embossed the snowflake with red EB powder
(the snowflake die is part of the sweater set),
Stamped the sentiment and added a few little mittens from my stash
and my card was complete!

Think Pink

 Happy Sunday!
Wanted to jump in the fun at Poppystamps challenge
so created this 'PINK' card which is the challenge
to use PINK,

This is what I chose to use is my super neat
Poppystamps die Boddington Cabin.
This die so appealed to me when I bought it as
I live in a log home myself.
I also appreciate the Think Pink for the month
of October as I lost my Mom to breast cancer in Oct. of 2018!

I die cut an oval out of the center, then embossed it with
a snowfall embossing folder..
Stickles was added for a bit of sparkle!

Fall Slimline

 Hello All, hope you are having a creative fun today!
I know I am and I really need to be doing housework
but this is WAY more fun!

I wanted to join the monthly challenge at 
Coffee Loving Cardmakers.
The only requirements are that is has be coffee, tea, or cocoa
themed and using one of the coffee sponsors.

I was lucky to have these adorable Paper Sweeties stamp sets
in my stash and decided to make a slimline card.

The Paper Sweeties sets I used are
Coffee Yes Please
Sweater Weather and
Truck Add On Occasions.

The slimline die is from Hello Bluebird and
the squirrel and falling leaves are pre-cut
from my stash!!

Thanks for visiting!!
