One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting a pumpkin patch. I love checking out the pumpkins and corn mazes. And many of our local patches have a farmers market too with fresh produce. I can't resist taking home some pumpkins to add to my porch. The Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set has a bunch of individual stamps for you to design your own pumpkin patch. For example, the stems are a separate stamp from the pumpkins, and the fence is a … [Read more...] about At The Patch

Crisp Autumn Days
Sometimes your paper is so pretty it really doesn't need much to enhance it. I added the stamped sentiment to the top right corner and a couple embellishments. The sentiment almost looks printed onto the paper. Many of our pattern papers are hand painted by Stampin Up's art team and then reprinted for our use. The pattern papers are so pretty, I have a hard time using them. But, I've decided it's better to use and share the beautiful … [Read more...] about Crisp Autumn Days

Hocus Pocus Part 2
In playing with the cauldron die, I thought it would be fun to make it into a 3D treat holder. I die cut two of the cauldrons, and then made a long strip that would fit between the two. This is what it looks like. Here is a view from the side showing the black band between the two. Basically, you made a long strip and score it .25" inches from each side so you have an area that you can glue to the front and the back. The box area in … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus Part 2
One More For The Road
Today I'm sharing my last card for now with the Trucking Along Bundle. This is also one I used for recent customer thank you cards. This stamp set has several different options for things to go in the bed of the truck, like the flowers, a stack of gifts, and a tree. I used the pretty flowers for todays card. The flowers are two different stamps - the outline and then the fill color. This allows for easy stamping without having to do everything in … [Read more...] about One More For The Road
It’s The Great Pumpkin!
I'm back today with a card using that mini truck from the Trucking Along bundle. I added one of the smallest pumpkins from the Pick of the Patch set and it barely fits in the truck bed. The Pick of the Patch bundle has a coordinating punch, but this particular pumpkin doesn't fit the punch so I had to hand cut it out. This is one of the cards I used for my September thank you cards. Every customer who places an order or subscribes to Paper … [Read more...] about It’s The Great Pumpkin!
