First up, we have the Table Runner Die and Table Runner Pattern Stencil to create this fun table setting! Also on this card, is the new Table Add on Turkey Die. This is such a fun card to celebrate Thanksgiving!

This sentiment is from the new Grateful Heart Sentiments and Grateful Heart Sentiments Matching Die. Aren’t all the details fun? The plates, utensils and napkins. These place settings have had their salads and they are ready for that turkey! 😉

The background on this one is created with one of my favorites, the Meandering Texture Die.

Next up, we have the new Pumpkin Time–die and stencil along with the new Overlapping Vertical Thanks die.

The Woodgrain paper is from the Season’s Greetings Paper Pad. I love making the pumpkins all the colors! I think even rainbow pumpkins would be fun to create.

My next project focuses on the sweet little coffee cup in the Cozy Icons Die. I kept this one clean and simple using the Table Runner Pattern Stencil for the cup patterns and two of my favorite texture dies: Meandering Texture Die and the Pierced Lines Texture Die.

This is such a sweet card to send anytime!

Next up, we have the aforementioned Cozy Icons Die along with the Overlapping You’re Die-n-stencil.

Also this is the new Fringe Frame Dies.

This background is created with the Woodgrain Texture Die.

This next card is created with the Table Runner Pattern Stencil and Cozy Icons Die. Makes me want to just take a stroll.

I used the Dashed Rhombus Panel Die for the background texture–Just love it! The background overtop Pop Up Fall Leaves Panel Die & Stencil–just stencil this time though. 😉

This next one makes me want a slice for sure! I love these pies! I used the Table Runner Pattern Stencil just to create a background and the pies are from the Table Add-on Pie Die..

These are so fun to make, they needed their own card. 🙂

Of course, we need a Postage Collage card! This is the new Postage Collage Autumn Sunset Stamp Set. I created the background with the Cloudy Skies Stencil.

This is perfect to give for so many reasons!

And of course, I had more pie so I created this sweet card! Lots of faves here on this one! Table Add-on Pie Die, and the Meandering Texture Die. Always a great die to grab: Pierced Lines Texture Die.

I created my own background with the previously released Quick Greetings Stamp Set, just stamping Grateful over and over with a stamp block.

Of course, I had to use the new addition to the Postage Collage sets again with this new Postage Collage Autumn Sunset Stamp Set and another go to the Quilting Texture Die.

If you’re new to the Postage Collage sets, this is a great place to start: Nesting Postage Collage Starter Bundle. Here are a couple basics you’ll definitely want to look into: The Postage Collage Die and even the Postage Collage Blocks Die to mix it up!

This Happy is from the new Print Happy Die. I thought this card would be perfect for a birthday as well as many other occasions. I also like that it can lean to the masculine side a bit too! Always need those cards.

Lastly, we have the Cake Time Texture Die and the Cake Time Stencil to create this festive greeting!

I had to make the one cake into a cookie cake! Yum!

Love all the bright colors you can add using the stencil. Such fun!

Here is a quick list of some products I used for these cards today. You can find the entire NEW Waffle Flower release HERE. 🙂

First up, this card might be one of my favorites! This stencil is so simple and adorable–I just love it! It’s called the Oversized Snowman Stencil. Too cute! Those earmuffs!

I did some masking to create the stripes on his scarf–and of course, had to give him giant google eyes. 🙂

Next up is the equally cute and sweet Snowman and Friends Die!

The little birds tho! eep!

The background of this one was created with the Frosty Background Stencil. I did lots of ink blending to create the subtle background and I think it turned out lovely to sit this cute snowman on!

This next card uses the Frosty Panel Die and a die set I found myself using multiple times on these projects. It is called Snowcapped Tree Die.

The sentiment (on this card and multiple cards) is from the new Snow Cheer Sentiments Combo.

This next card features the new Postage Collage set and the Snowflakes Cluster Die. The new Postage Collage set is called Postage Collage Snowy Stencil and Postage Collage Die.

Snow delightful!

Love these trees with the previously released Christmas Banners Die–these are awesome if yo haven’t seen them all, be sure to check them out HERE.

This cutie is from the Gifting Snowman Die and uses two snowy faves in the background:

More fun with the Frosty Texture Die and the Oversized Snowman Stencil next!

I fussy cut them out to put two on! 🙂

Again the Snow Cheer Sentiments Combo, Snowflakes Cluster Die, and the Gifting Snowman Die.

I also used the new A2 Piercing Layers Die here–THIS set, the A2 Piercing Layers Die (& the A2 Additional Piercing Layers Die )–MUST HAVES! 🙂

Too cute with their mittens and gifts!

More delightfulness with both the Frosty Texture Die and the Postage Collage Snowy Stencil and Postage Collage Die.

Pretty Pink Posh–October Release! Blog Hop–Giveaways!

I am celebrating the fun over at Pretty Pink Posh for their October Release today and this is a Blog Hop! Be sure you leave a comment for a chance to win! You should have arrived here from Rachel Alvarado‘s Blog!

The Pretty Pink Posh October Release is full of Winter Fun! This first card I created with the new Holiday Wreath Builder die set. This set can really be used year round with all the different die cuts in it! I couldn’t decide which to use so I decided I’d use the leaves in a myriad of colors. I think this card could be sent in late fall or it’s also perfect for the Winter Season!

I die cut a bunch of leaves with the Holiday Wreath Builder die set out of cardstock scraps and then added it to this simple card base I embossed with my scoreboard.

The sentiment is from the Winter Greetings stamp set (+ coordinating dies).

Next up, I used the Snowflake Shaker, Holly Jolly Shadow die and the new Snowflakes Stamp set.

I created this bold Snowflake with the Snowflake Shaker and the clean background with the Snowflakes Stamp set–stamping all the snowflakes a few times each. I layered all the dies at least twice for a little more ooooomph and pop for the recipient.

The sentiment is the Holly Jolly Shadow die layered up to create a little more bulk to the delicate diecut. Love the black and white with a pop of red!

Winter coziness! Such fun to create with all these new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh!

For my card, I used the following products from Pretty Pink Posh: (You can click on the links to go directly to the Pretty Pink Posh store and check out the details 😉)

Here’s the Scoop:

There are three $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the Pretty Pink Posh blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 10/22/2024.

Waffle Flower: Pumpkin Patch Release-October 2024!

There is New Release over at Waffle Flower: Pumpkin Patch!! This release is FULL of my favorite fall things! Pumpkins, leaves, oh my!! Due to the timing and being on crutches and all the chaos that brings, I was only able to make a couple cards for this release. So be certain you check out all the goodness over at Waffle Flower HERE!

October Release— You can find all the new products >>HERE<<!!

First up, this card is created with the new Autumn Icons Die. I super enjoy all the pieces in this set, but sometimes it is fun to create a card simply by narrowing it down, right? One maple leaf, but allllllll the colors! 🙂

I also used the new A2 Piercing Layers Die here–THIS set, the A2 Piercing Layers Die (& the A2 Additional Piercing Layers Die )–MUST HAVES! Subtle little definition to your cards! Big fan! 🙂

This also includes the previously released Sweet Plaid Texture Die–which, I reach for often! 🙂

Next up is the new Pumpkin with Stem Die and the new Inside Sentiments Thanks 2 Stamp Set. How cool is his die? I love the perspective and the way the leaves and curly stems were designed.

And again, I used the A2 Piercing Layers Die. We might as well get to used to seeing it now, because I know I will reach for these a lot! 🙂

I had to try and create a white pumpkin, which as you can guess, is a bit of a challenge on a white background. But I will not be deterred! 😂 So I just blended on a bit of blue and purple inks which ultimately gives it definition and often times actually makes the object look whiter…if that makes any sense?

Love how this one turned out. So easy to make a set of Thank You cards with this design!

Don’t forget to hop over–follow and comment for a chance at the GIVEAWAY! I’m giving away the Gift Card on Instagram HERE.

As always, the PPP Fall Release is super cute and fun! My first thought was I NEED to use this cute Stitched Turkey Dies STAT!!

He’s the best!! I had to give him googley eyes for extra fun 🙂 He also has little wings which you can add or not, as I left mine on my desk somewhere stuck to something bc I didn’t even see that I forgot them. 🤭 I think he’s adorable either way! 🙂

I created the background with the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils and the sentiment is the Many Thanks Shadow Dies.

Waffle Flower: October Release!

I’m excited to be joining Waffle Flower! Today, we are sharing the October Release!

Welcome to the Waffle Flower October Release! I’m excited to be hopping with Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new October-ness awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! Be sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new release delights!

You can find the whole blog hop list on the Waffle Flower Blog. You can click on the names of the Waffle Flower products here in my post for direct links to the WF site and check them out there. 😊 Hopefully you find these helpful!

For now, let’s get this party started! I thought this first little number turned out super fun! Honestly, I just kind of wing it when picking colors, and this one turned out lovely!

This uses the new Pop-up Fall Leaves Panel Die and the new Blessed Print Die.

Love this for Fall or anytime really! I can’t wait to send this one out 🙂

The new Waffle Flower Shader Brushes are dynamite for this:

Shader Brush 0+ – 15/pk
Shader Brush 1+ – 5/pk
Shader Brush 1+ – Double Ended – 5/pk

The edges of the little leaves all pop up with a little nudge from the underside. You stencil this using the new Fall Leaves Background Stencil. This is a fave for sure!

Next up, I used the Multiple Fall Leaves Die-n-Stencil to create this Fall delight! I stenciled all the leaves first with a rainbow of colors and then die cut everything.

I am a super fan of how the leaves have the little etched details, which are even better in person.

I die cut all these out and arranged them all before putting on the sentiment from Subsentiments-Thanks Die Cut.

And here’s two more cards using more Autumnal delights! This is a new addition to the Postage Collage Die collection using the new Postage Collage Fall Stencil and the Postage Collage for Fall Stamp Set!

And again the sentiment is from Subsentiments-Thanks Die Cut. I so enjoy how the Postage Collage Die creates these fun stamps with one die cut and you just trim them up to create individual ones!

The subtle background is created with the previously released Dotted Chevron Die.

I also used the previously released Postage Collage Stamp Set for this next card because I had one more stamp. I used it in conjunction with the new Dotted Sunburst Die for this card. You could also stitch the Dotted Sunburst Die–which would be pretty darn cool!

This card also features the new Dotted Labels Die. There are a few dies in that set and definitely staples to have in your catalog!

I do love subtle details that don’t overwhelm your card! Such fun! 🙂

This next card features the new Woodgrain Die and I put watercolor on it, rainbow style, to mix things up! A rainbow is always in season, right? 🌈😊

The sentiment is also new and it is called Give Thanks Print Die. I put a layer of black cardstock to give a little extra oomph, which you cannot really see, but it gives it that little subtle pop when you have white on white.

Love the rainbow! 🙂

Let’s switch gears to a little holiday fun in a different color scheme! The Dotted Triangle Trees Die is what I used to create these trees all layered and stitched up, along with the previously released Folk Art Background Die.

Definitely a different holiday color scheme that I can’t say I’ve used before, so that’s a little branch out. Get it…branch out. Ok, well, I had to. 🙂

The sentiment is the Print Script Thank You Die which screams versatility for use on any project ahead. I always enjoy when the fonts are simple and there is a backer die to rest on. Fantastic!

And Last but not least here’s a sweet little number to close with. This uses the Dotted Day Scene Die along with the Subsentiments Die Cut sentiment

So sweet! I’m looking forward to mailing this one. 🙂

Hooray for cardmaking! And speaking of which: Are you celebrating World Cardmaking Day on Saturday? 💌

Here’s some scoop from Waffle Flower:

Taylored Expressions… Treat Yourself!

Let’s get out allllllll the treats! And we have lots of idea over at Taylored Expressions today to do just that! I have a few here today using the new Giftables-Cute Carton that is FREE with qualifying purchases this month at TE!

Don’t delay if you plan to place an order. Sometimes these fun gifts do run out if they are popular, FYI.

First up, let’s check out this CUTE rainbow Giftables-Cute Carton. The rainbow die comes with the Carton and let me tell you, I’m pretty sure the rainbow is going to be used A LOT! It’s sooooo cute! 🙂

I used TE’s cute TE Washi Tape – Happy Hearts to decorate the Giftables-Cute Carton. I actually made this white one just to get a feel for how to make it, and then I thought, OH–I like it in Sugar Cube! I’ll use this one. 😂 The sentiment is from Dude Sentiments.

Next up, Halloween! This one uses the Jack-O-Lantern stencil, Pierced Tag Stacklets, All Together Halloween, Exclamation Points. I used Earl Gray ink to stencil this on Pumpkin cardstock–so fun!! And EASY!

And lastly, because apparently I was in a Christmas mood 😂–in September, I made this cutie Giftables-Cute Carton too!

This one is stamped with the Vintage Springs Background and again, I used the Pierced Tag Stacklets (just making the little tags more stubby doing double die cutting). The little (most adorable!) Santa is from the All Together-Holiday. OH and I had to use my favorite sentiment from the Exclamation Points set “Santa!”. Is it weird he’s yelling his own name? Maybe, but I love it! 😂

Here’s the scoop from Taylored Expressions: By popular demand and timing–get this!!

All these products are available now over at Taylored Expressions. See my links below 🙂

Rainbow carton:

Christmas carton:

Taylored Expressions… NEW COLORS!

Today at Taylored Expressions there are NEW COLORS! And I don’t know about you, but I am always excited for NEW COLORS! It’s always so fun to combine with the old colors and get to know them more and more each project!

The new colors are:

Cinnamon
Huckleberry
Jalapeño
Sour Gummy

These come in all the things! Ink, cardstock, refills and envelopes and they are oh so good! Now, combining them with the existing colors puts everything into a new colorful stratosphere. SO FUN!

For this card, I used all the new colors: Cinnamon, Huckleberry, Jalapeño and Sour Gummy. I also used Rose Water and Dijon. I have to admit, I can’t say I’ve ever reached for a combo like this before, but I love the combo and the feel for fall!

Sour Gummy might be my new favorite color! It transcends both the blue and green categories into its own! 🙂 (My Jalapeño here photographed a bit lighter than I think it looks in person, but it was a rainy day if I recall–which makes all the photos a challenge!)

For the background here, I foiled the Foil It – Fineline Leaves with Champagne foil, which was the perfect compliment to this combo. The sentiment is from Foil It – All Together Occasions and of course, I used the All Together Occasions Coordinating Die to die cut that out.

I haven’t gotten to use the Snow Globe Builder Dies yet, so I did that with the Arched Stacklets to create a shaker card. Inside are all the fall leaves cut with the Garden Variety-Fall. This turned out delightful to me! (The shaker bits are Snow Flurries and the Bits & Pieces Rose Gold Stars (not in my supply list, but still available as of this morning 😉). I may have been overzealous and put too many leaves in because they don’t shake about too much, but they sure are pretty!

Next up, I focused on inks using masks of the Garden Variety-Fall leaves I cut from Post-It tape.

I used the Masking Stencils – Squares along with the masks I created and just masked the leaves off before blending inks all around them. I had this in my head after blending ink on the leaves for my snow globe and seeing the mat underneath with all the leaves “imprinted”. Reminded me of how you put the leaves in the sun on that special paper to leave in imprint. So hence, this card. 🙂

I came back with some score lines to create the frame and added a bunch of splatters and some stitching. The sentiment is from the Mini Strips – Floral stamp and voila, done! 😊😊

And last, but not least, I have been wanting to use the Buds & Blossoms Stamp and Stencil Combo for a long while, so I busted that out here:

The background is stamped in Cinnamon and the buds are blended in Huckleberry. The colors are pretty stuttle looking in this photo, but in person, I think they popped a bit more. The leaves are Mint Julep and Jalapeno, while the buds are Raspberry Sorbet/Pink Champagne and Sweet Potato Pie/Peaches ‘n’ Cream.

The Thanks and sentiment is from the Big Thanks set (and Coordinating die). Of course, I used the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate to frame it all out with the Diagonal Stitch Rectangle Stacklets for a subtle little framing detail too.

Oh and don’t forget to fill up on the Inkspiration cards again! Those are so fun and I love to cut the cardstock swatches to put on those. So tidy!

I can’t wait to keep working these new colors into things with all the existing colors–truly some great compliments to the TE collection!

Here’s the scoop from Taylored Expressions:

While supplies last, we’ve got a Full Set Syndrome I Want it All – Part 2 Bundle for $87 that includes all four new colors (Jalapeño, Sour Gummy, Huckleberry, and Cinnamon) of full sized ink pads, mini ink cubes, ink refills, and full cardstock packs. It’s a great way to add all 4 of the colors to your own collection! Offer valid while supplies last.

All these products are available now over at Taylored Expressions. See my links below 🙂
