Inspired By…Boo!

 Playing along with this week’s Inspired By Challenge with this adorable “Boo!” photo…


I made a “peek-a-BOO” surprise of my own with The Greetery’s “Hey Honeycomb: Basics” dies…


I made a pumpkin using the circle die in the set, with a stem from “Plump Pumpkins,” a leaf from “BotaniCuts: Strawberries,” and some balloon string dies! The background has some “BotaniCuts: Wheat.” 


Surprise! A peachy colored honeycomb ball pumpkin to match the inspiration photo and the lovely Carta Bella “Harvest” papers. The card base is cut with The Greetery’s “A2 Arches” dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

As You See It…Autumn Favorites!

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge…to make a card about your favorite part of Autumn. 

Mine is Thanksgiving! The food, family, friends, football, parades, Black Friday shopping, and the national dog show…I love all of it!

Here is my fancy “Concertina Fold” card, which I learned how to make by watching Susan Campfield’s live last weekend (Susan Stampfield on YouTube).

It’s hard to photograph!



It starts as just a card front (it IS so puffy I had to hold it down with a magnet, though!), then as you unfold, it reveals secret panels! It’s like a fancy trifold with some extra folds, haha!




I used lots of products from The Greetery including the “Capsule Basics” dies, “Thankful & Blessed, “Autumn Herbarium,” “Thank All Ways,” and patterned paper from Carta Bella called “Harvest.” The last picture shows all of the Tim Holtz Distress Stain spray…all glimmery and shiny!  

Thanks for stopping by!
