Sign Design Season of Thanks

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

This morning we are dealing with a potent cold front that came thru around 9 last night. The winds are really howling and a blowing outside! This will definitely get the leaves off the trees! I raked the backyard yesterday afternoon and as of this morning it is totally leaf covered again. I suppose I see more leaf raking in my future after this! LOL

Today I have a pretty colorful Thanksgiving card to share with you that I made recently with a new stamp set from the 2025 Stampin Up! Holiday Mini Catalog called Sign Design. I paired it with some Gathering Together DSP from the Online Exclusives.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sign Design, A Wish For Everything (retired inside sentiment), Gathering Moments (leaf inside-Online Exclusives)

Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Basic White, Gathering Together DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Gathering Leaves EF (Online Exclusives), Sign Design Punch, Loose Gold Sequins, Gold Ribbon, Gold Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I think this is my favorite Thanksgiving card to date! I love the pretty colors and the pop of gold in the paper and from the sequins & ribbon treatment.

The Sign Design Bundle consists of a stamp set and coordinating punch which helps in making quick cards!

Happy Thanksgiving Set

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Hope your week is going well. 

I heard we are in for some very cold weather next week which I am so not looking forward too! I know it's getting to be that time of year but with the time change and cold weather coming...I am not a fan of darkness & cold.

Today I have a set of Thanksgiving cards to share with you that Audrey requested on this last order. I pulled out some All About Autumn DSP that was a a big hit a few years ago and dug into finding the right print to make her cards...

Card Details:

Stamps: PSX

Ink: Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Moody Mauve (retired), Oxidized Copper Paper (retired), All About Autumn Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Branching Out Dies, Autumn Leaves Dies (retired), Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how these turned out and Audrey loved that they will not require any extra postage!

A Wish For Everything

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your having a nice weekend!

The last couple of weeks I have been working ahead on all the holiday things that are coming. Today's card is a Thanksgiving card that I made with lots of retired Stampin Up! products. I tend to jump back & forth with using new stuff and then using up what's in my stash. This card uses a retired set called A Wish For Everything and a wood mounted background stamp called Linen. I paired them with some All About Autumn DSP that is also retired to make a pretty card!

Card Details:

Stamps: A Wish For Everything (retired), Linen Background (retired), Words of the Season (inside)

Ink: Copper Clay (retired)

Cardstock: Copper Clay (retired), Very Vanilla, Copper Foil Paper, Oxidized Copper Foil (retired), All About Autumn DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Autumn Leaves Dies (retired), Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins (retired), Linen Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Love how this one turned out! My card doesn't use anything new except for the inside sentiment and that is perfectly fine. I'm thrilled to be using what's in my stash and to be able to send someone a holiday card to know they are thought of.

Happy Halloween!!

Hello & Happy Friday, Friends!

Happy Halloween, too!

Any fun plans for trick or treat night?

We will be out handing candy out like we do every year. I'm just hoping the winds aren't too crazy and it's not freezing cold out! Last year it was 80 degrees and one of the nicest trick or treat nights I think we ever had. 

Today I am sharing the last Halloween card I made. This one also uses the Spooky Sweet DSP and some of the punchouts from that paper. I love that Stampin Up! has been adding this to some of our paper packs.

Card Details:

Stamps: Fright Night (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Spooky Sweet DSP (Online Exclusives)
