Stampin' Up! Scenic Pumpkin Patch Thankful Card

Good Wednesday morning, peeps. Thanksgiving is soon approaching and I have a number of cards I need and want to create. Here's my first one...

My card base is Pumpkin Pie. I cut the frame with a die from Winterly Tree Tops. The DSP I used is a retired piece from All About Autumn.

Once I had that cut, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla about 1/16th of an inch smaller, stamped the ground, pumpkins and leaves using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set. Then I ran it through my embossing machine with the Painted Texture 3D EF. I adhered the frame to it with liquid glue and then adhered the piece to the card base.

For the inside...

I took another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and adhered a strip of the retired All About Autumn DSP. I stamped the sentiment in Pecan Pie  from the retired Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! More birthday cards

Good Sunday morning, peeps! I think I've reached the end of receiving cards for my birthday last week so I'll post the rest of them now. In no particular order received except to post the largest one first from Debbie Mageed!

It opens and the greeting is on the inside fold but since there was her personal greeting, I decided not to photograph it.

Here are the remainder...

Thank you one and all for making my day more special.

Stampin' Up! Comforting Thoughts Gift Card Holder

Good Friday morning, peeps! Hope you are getting ready for a good weekend. I have nothing planned except to watch football, basketball and go to my church for the pastor's installation.

My design comes from Dani Gurrola when she does her mystery stamping on Tuesday evenings. She tries to create easy cards for those just learning and ones that experienced card makers will enjoy. You can find her here. Because my card was quick and easy, I've decided to enter it in the Alphabet Challenge.

So, without further ado, here is the card I created. It's for a PEO sister who is going through chemo.

Card Base: Evening Evergreen Cardstock (Retired): 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 1 1/2" and 7"; 1" x 4 1/4"; scrap for sentiment mat

Patterned Paper: Spring Daisies 3 3/4" x 3 1/2"; 3 3/4" x 1 1/4"

Basic White Cardstock: 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"; scrap for sentiment

Stamp Sets: Comforting Thoughts; Daisy Garden (retired) 

Dies: Something Fancy

Ink: Evening Evergreen (retired)

Here's the inside...

They are not my favorite words, but they are appropriate for this situation.

The placement of everything is obvious, I hope! The bottom fold is glued on each side edge so a gift card, money, or personal note can be inserted.

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you'll return on Monday when I have a makeover of this card for another PEO sister.

Stampin' Up! Shepherd's Care Christmas Card

Today's card is a card I made three weeks ago when. I watched a video by Alyson Mayo. She called it a "Glitter Christmas Tree Card". You've heard me mention her before many times on my blog and I hope you've paid her a visit! You can find her video and instructions on FB by searching for Create with Alyson - Membership and requesting to join the group. 

Three weeks ago I was in severe pain and this was an easy card to make. I'm not sure of what I used to create it! However, I really do like a challenge so I'll put my thinking cap on. One of my 2024 goals was to put everything away after I used it...and I did just that! My goal for 2025 is to write down what I use on each card prior to putting the supplies away :-) Wish me luck! Without further ado...

Okay, so I went through my Evernote inventory and what a blessing that was! The card base and mat are from the retired Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. I took one card, cut around the frame and die cut the center with a tree from the retired In the Woods Dies. 

To the base of a second M & M card (mentioned above), I adhered strips of Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper. I adhered the cut out tree over the strips with foam adhesive, added an Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequin for the "star", and using Berry Burst ink, stamped the sentiment from the Shepherd's Care stamp set. Easy peasy, like I said! 

Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our weekly Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.
