4 Beautiful Pumpkin Cards

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

The weekend is here!! I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit since it's been busy the last week or so!! Last weekend we worked on putting out all the ceramic Christmas trees in the family room so the downstairs is completely done. We will work on the upstairs once Thanksgiving is over. We aren't quite sure yet if we are going to cook or go up to the restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. I was thinking about trying something different this year. Guess I better soon make a decision on that!

Today I have 4 cards to share that I made with the Beautiful Pumpkins set from the Online Exclusives. I made these for Audrey as she requested them for her family. And I used one of the Kitchen Table Stampers Shortcut Sketches on this.

Here is the sketch...

The second set I just flipped the sketch...

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Pumpkins (Online Exclusives), Pleasant Pheasants (retired 2022 saying)

Ink: Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Woven Textures DSP (Online Exclusives), Garden Green DSP (retired 2022-2023)

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!

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.

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.
