Pie anyone?

Whoa, we are under a wind advisory today and the rafters are creaking. Perfect day to be inside. 

I am happy to welcome a new follower to my blog this morning. She is Zoe, zoechaos.blogspot.com/ and I hope you can pop in and say hello to her. 

I got a few Thanksgiving cards made and I'm sharing one here today. The "table cloth" is cut with my new  die from The Greetery using some older pattern paper. The milk carton and glass are Lawn Fawn and the pie is Sugar Pea Designs. My friend, Kara, karalynnecards.blogspot.com/, sent me a card made with this stamp set and I fell in love with it. 

I hope you are all warm and toasty and having a great weekend.

I am going to send this card to https://mynbus.blogspot.com/ since I used my new Greetery die. I'm also adding this to the die-cut-divas.blogspot.com/.

Shorter comments

I will be making shorter or fewer comments for a bit. I'm having arthritic issues with my fingers and I hope it's just because the weather has turned colder. I've been making some cards and as long as I rest my hands for long periods I can do that just fine. This card was made with an Impression Obsession wood mount stamp and I added the sentiment  on the inside. I used some paper in my stash and added some shiny gold, red and brown leaves that were also in my stash. I'm really trying to use what I have this season and not add more. It could possibly lead to moving to a bigger home to contain all this stuff!

Unconventional Colors

That's what the caschristmascardchallenge is asking for this month. I think black and white are the most unconventional colors you would think of for Christmas cards. I used a Spellbinders poinsettia die and added a bit of black sponging. I embossed the Penny Black sentiment in white embossing powder and added the black panel to a white card base.

No more political ads

Finally, no more ads on TV. They were driving me crazy.

Last month in a zoom class we made cards with toilet paper.  Todays card is made from four layers of toilet paper squares gently misted with water on each one, then layering them together. When you run them through an embossing folder you get the best images. I used a Memory Box embossing folder for this card, then embossed a gold sentiment on vellum and wrapped it around the panel. This card has been received so I can post it. I hope you try this method, I think you will like it.

No more candy corn

Saying goodbye to Halloween means no more candy corn until next year! That is a good thing for me but I was really good this year. The Covid 19 has already started on me so I have to be more careful! Moving on to fall cards now and also wanting to play in casmixup. The theme this month is off the edge so that's why the wreath wanders off. I water colored  this Penny Black wreath in autumn colors and used a Stampin' Up sentiment. That's pretty much it.

Happy Halloween

It's a frosty start to Halloween this morning. We don't get trick or treaters in my neighborhood and I miss seeing the little ones all dressed up. Covid has changed so much this year and some of the little ones are disappointed not to get to go door to door.

This is my last Halloween card. I only made them for the grands and family this year. It's my favorite season but I couldn't get excited this year and only made easy quick cards. This one uses the Simon Says Stamp gnome, a die cut pumpkin in pattern paper and a crow from Little B. The bale of straw is paper I've had in my stash for a long time and still have one more 12 x 12 sheet. I used a pumpkin embossing folder for the background and added a few orange gems.  Don't eat all the leftover candy at once!

Fancy fold

I rarely make fancy fold cards but I saw this on pinterest and though it would be a fun Halloween card.  I fussy cut an image from Stampin' Up paper and used it as the focal point. Added a bit of glossy accents to his hat for shine. I mounted it on an orange circle and used pattern paper to decorate the rest of the card. The cardstock is SU and I used some of it to die cut the frame around the circle.
