Inspired by…Autumn!

 As soon as I saw this week’s picture at the Inspired By Challenge, I knew I had to play along!


I used Papertrey Ink’s amazing “Pumpkin Slices” dies, and lots of squares of textured, stamped, spritzed, and glittered paper squares! 


The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s “Just Sentiments: Spooky” and a stitched paper bow die from the retired company L’il Inkers (it’s my favorite bow of all time)! The background squares include Stampin Up’s 3D “Twisted Rope” and “Woodgrain” embossing folders and the VERY old “Sanded” red rubber background, the Ink Blot Shop’s “Cable Knit” background stamp, Tim Holtz Distress Stain sprays, gold glitter paper, and The Greetery’s “Knit Wit” stencils. I made the pumpkin by cutting a piece of dark Kraft paper covered with white paint. 

This was SO much fun to make! Thanks for stopping by!

As You See It…Gentle Sunset!

Playing along with the As you See It Challenge…Gentle Sunset! They are using this lovely color scheme:


I made an autumn floral card using products from The Greetery…


I used the “Wild Wetlands” floral dies along with the “Capsule Basics” dies and a sentiment from “Thankful & Blessed.” There are two amazing 3D embossing folders, too, including the retired Stampin Up “Subtle” background and Lisa Horton Craft’s “Vintage Tile.” 

I love these colors together! Thanks for stopping by!
