Stampin' Up! Star of Light Thow Back Thursday

Good morning, peeps! Can you believe it's the 1st of October?! Where have the first 3 quarters of the year gone? Bye Bye, that's for sure!! I don't send Halloween cards so that's not a problem for me but I do send Thanksgiving cards and I'll be working on those this month. Also, this month is time for showing our pastors appreciation for what they do for their flock. Today's card is one I made for our women's group at church to give to our pastor with a wonderfully delicious gift card. I have never been where he and his wife will be going but I've heard it's one of their faves. The card is a throw back to one I created October 2, 2017. Take a look see at what I created for today...

Our pastor loves plaid ties and I have no doubt that he has one this color. Here are the ingredients:

Blackberry Bliss Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

God Foil Mat - 5 1/4" x 4"

Plaid Tidings DSP (retired) - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

White Glimmer Paper - 2 7/8" x 3 3/8"

Gold Foil Frame - 3" x 3 1/2"

Star of Light Photopolymer Stamp Set and Starlight Thinlits (retired) - sentiment and star (Distressed Gold Specialty Paper)

Scrap of Basic White stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold powder cut out with a die from Perennial Postage Dies

Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls (retired embellishments) 

The inside sentiment is computer generated and I sponged it with Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Pine Sympathy Card

One of my teammates recently lost her father so I needed to create a sympathy card. I kept it very simple. Take a look-see...

My card base is Cajun Craze and the Crisp Cantaloupe mat is dry embossed with the Painted Texture EF (retired). I sponged a Basic White mat with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamped the foliage image in Peaceful Pine ink. It's from the retired Forever Fern Stamp Set.

I embossed a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock with VersaMark ink and gold embossing powder using the retired Something Fancy Stamp Set. I cut it out with a retired Ornate Frames die.

The embellishments are Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

 

 

 

Stampin' Up! Thanks & Giving Plaid Tidings Birthday Card

Good Tuesday morning, stamping friends. I'm going to be completely modest about my card today...I LOVE it! LOL!! Take a look-see...

One of my friends from church is having a birthday in October and I thought this was very fitting. Her favorite color is orange. Because of that, I decided to submit it to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #302. I went straight down the left hand side. Thank you, Betty, for this great challenge!

 

My card base is Paper Pumpkin. I adhered a mat of Very Vanilla and then a mat of  Plaid Tidings DSP (retired). I had cut an extra circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies at the retreat, stamped it with Amy's Thanks & Giving Stamp Set and colored it when I got home. I sponged it with Pumpkin Pie ink.

The pumpkins are die cut with the Painted Pumpkins dies and I used Mango Melody card stock (retired) and Early Espresso scrap.

The "Hello Pumpkin" is from the 2020 Hello Pumpkin Paper Pumpkin Kit. I stamped it in Pumpkin Pie ink, sponged it and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die.

I rarely use my Rhinestone Basic Jewels but I just thought they were very fitting for this card.

Let's take a look at the inside, shall we?
 

More rhinestones and plaid DSP! The pumpkin is from the aforementioned Paper Pumpkin Kit. The  "happy birthday" is from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set and the other sentiment is from the Fun for Fall Stamp Set.

I used Blends to color the pumpkin: Light & Dark Timid Tiger, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Stampin' Up! Painted Patch Thinking of You Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to my Monday Morning Makeover Madness card. I haven't done that in awhile...at least I don't think I have. In any event, this card is a CASE of my card from last week and a CASE of my upline and friend, Mary. This is another card I made at our team retreat. You know, when you have someone to prepare and cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days, it's easy to make more cards! I only took pics of one meal, shame on me! BUT, this casserole is one that is always being requested by the attendees.

 

I was a first timer and trust me, it tasted great!

Now that I've made you hungry, here's my card...

and the inside, which is no different from most of my others...

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of looking at pumpkins and this DSP! Come back tomorrow for a birthday card I made for a friend who loves orange. There might be pumpkins involved...lol. Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Glow of Harvest Rustic Thinking of You at Thanksgiving Card

No, I'm not going to tell you I made this at our team retreat...oh, yes, I am...lol! I had some scraps laying on my desk so I adhered the 5 1/4" x 4" Glow of Harvest mat on my Golden Glow card base. I embossed the 5 1/4" x 1" Crumb Cake strip with the Rustic 3D EF. I had two little Cajun Craze flowers in my stash so I adhered them to the embossed strip. Next I added three 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. Et voila, quick and easy card for one of our church shut ins.

The inside is simple as well using the Thanks & Giving sentiment stamped in Cajun Craze and another little flower from my stash.

 Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Pretty Poisettia Glow of Harvest Thinking of You Card

Happy Friday, peeps! I made this card at the team retreat in GA. What? You're not surprised? Well, I was because I was CASEing Kim Quade and did not have a foliage die with me so I was fortunate enough to borrow a die Tara had with her. It's from the Pretty Poinsettia Dies and I had gold foil with me. Take a look-see...

Not only do I love this die, but I love the Glow of Harvest DSP paired with the Early Espresso card base. I also borrowed Tara's Spotlight on Nature Circle Die to cut out the vellum. I swear she brought her entire craft room with her...lol! I did bring my own VersaMark ink, white embossing powder, heat tool, and Stylish Shapes banner die to create the sentiment from the retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set, which I took with me!  The embellishments are from the Painted Patch Adhesive-backed Dots.

Thank you for stopping by today.
