Pumpkin Cards 2for1

I stamped up a storm in one sitting.

All my fave inks got attention; many are Reverse Confetti (no longer in business, I'm sad to say), Papertrey Ink, Memento, & Catherine Pooler.

I had stocked up on fall stamps two years ago and realized I missed autumn creations last year.

Here's to making up for it :

The Ton Stamps Ella Pumpkins stamps and dies/Butternut Squash/Grouped Fresh Sunflowers/Autumn Foliage/Glass Slippers sequins, Echo Park Scallop Treat Box (sentiment panel), Pink & Main Beautiful Slimline dies

I use a combo of Brutus Monroe stamp cleaner and baby wipes to clean between takes.

These The Ton Stamps are grouped, so what I like to do, is to stamp one layer first, in multiple takes.

I leave the stamp in my Petunia Platform and replace the paper and try to do at least three per layer.

It mostly adds up, if I don't shift between inking.  I may never see refills again for my Reverse Confetti, so I want to use them up whilst they are still fresh.

I created these Clean & Layered cards using all the following colors from this Fall inspiration:

I appreciate your sweet visit today~

 

Make a Wish Jewel Tones

Pretty Pink Posh Mini Storybook 1 Dies, Stamplorations Make a Wish, Amy Tangerine Brave & Bold Patterned Paper, Doodlebug Design Square Sequins, Gold Cardstock

I don't often use these colors, so I wanted to make sure and dip into these papers from Amy Tangerine, and make something.

 

I appreciate your sweet visit!

Y'all It's Fall Truck and Palm

I love this Palm die from The Ton Stamps, and I used mustard colors for a faux corn stalk.

Truck, pumpkin, country vibes were taken from this inspiration photo at Inspired By.

Halloween Colors Wedding Pop-Up

I had loads of fun creating this pop-up card for my nephew and his bride.

Here the card is lit up (the clothespin was placed to hold it bright for a pic).

Here it folds flat.

Here's the back (I know, it's alot going on, but I couldn't stop). ;)

I included on the back panel (village view) a Maymay Made It sentiment "Enjoy the Journey".

I feel a marriage is a never ending journey to explore together.
