Four Seasons Challenge - Fall (11/2025)

 

Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a change in seasons! 
This months theme is:

Anything Goes - Fall

check out this fabulous inspiration board we have created to help inspire you . . .

 

 A little of this and a little of that went into today's card creation.
I had this embossed panel (using the Altenew 'floating foliage' 3D embossing folder) laying on the desk and decided to use white pigment ink (direct ink to paper) to highlight the leaves.  It wasn't a full panel so I rummaged through my scraps until I found a piece of designer paper that I thought matched the green color and used it for the bottom panel.  It was a little too small so I place a scrap strip of white cardstock then found a fall sticker sheet from Sandylion Stickers to add a little color to the white strip.

 My focus image is from a fall sheet of images by Too Much Fun Rubberstamps and since it was a little too large I used one of my Tutti Designs 'stitched scallop rectangle' dies to reduce the size to fit better.

Love Those Pretty Papers November 2025 Challenge

 

  Hello Dear Friends

It's a new month and that means it's time for a new challenge over on our
LOVE THOSE PRETTY PAPERS blog.

Today, our OPTIONAL theme is
Forest Critters.
 
Diane & I will be sharing a Themed pretty paper card as well as an Anything Goes card.

 Here's my card using today's THEME:

 

 While making tissue box covers for a recent craft show, I decided to use the scraps and create some background panels.  Then I remembered I had some fun Penny Black Winter paper images so did a double matting on this beautiful cardinal and VIOLA my card is ready for easy mailing this holiday season.

Now for my 2nd card (anything goes) ...

 

 I've use paper from the Ella & Viv Paper Company 'Blue Christmas Kit' for today's card.  This is 12x12 so I cut an A-6 size panel and put over  my entire white card base.  Then used one of the sentiment stickers from the kit for the sentiment.  

 I hope you've enjoyed what I created to inspire you today!  Please come join our fun and show us what you have created using pretty patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by and as always . . .
