Pretty Pink Posh October Release - Live Today!

Hello, friends!  I'm delighted to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh this month.  Their holiday release is amazing and so much fun to create with.  Once you get started, you won't want to stop.  The release is live today, so you can start shopping HERE now.  Yay!

One of my favorite new products is the Holiday Wreath Builder Die Set.  Don't let the name fool you, though.  This set will carry you not only through the holiday season, but all throughout the year.  Lots of wonderful possibilities with this one! 

I used the three sizes of pines to build my wreath and added some sparkling ornaments using the circle die included in the Holiday Wreath Builder Dies. 

Then I embossed and die cut some of the darling Holiday Icons and tucked them into my wreath.  I finished the wreath with a big pink bow from the Holiday Wreath Builder Dies.  Obviously I chose a non-traditional color scheme here, but I had gingerbread houses and candied wonderlands on my mind, so I went with it. 

I used the Pierced Snowflakes Plate to add some detail to my card base, and hung my wreath on the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle.

The finishing touch was a sentiment from the new Winter Greetings Stamp Set and dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope this card brought you a smile. :) I have lots more projects to share throughout the month.  I'm looking forward to it!  Head to the Pretty Pink Posh shop HERE to snatch up these wonderful goodies.  Have a wonderful week, friends!

Pretty Pink Posh: Stitched Turkey

Good morning, friends!  Just popping in to share a cute turkey card that I made with some goodies from Pretty Pink Posh's fall release.  I figure if the stores can jump ahead and have three holidays in the stores all at the same time, so can I. ;)

I pulled out the cute Stitched Turkey Dies and got to work blending ink on all the different pieces.  I discovered that the individual feather die from the Big Fall Cupcake Dies fit perfectly, so I added them as well to fancy my turkey up a little.  I also swapped out his beak for the bigger beak in the Big Fall Cupcake Dies because I'm all for oversized features on animals.

There were several fabulous stencils released, and I used the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencil on my background. 

In the corners I embossed the previously released Fall Corners Stamp Set, and blended on coordinating colors. 

I finished the card with a sentiment from the Fall Bouquet Stamp Set. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a lovely day!

Waffle Flower October Release Day + GIVEAWAY

Hello!  Today is the big day!  Waffle Flower's October Pumpkin Patch release is live and ready for shopping.  Yay!  You can shop all the new goodies HERE.  Plus, I have a GIVEAWAY to share with you, so make sure you read to the bottom of the post. 

The Sunflower Die is absolutely gorgeous!  Once you start creating with these flowers, you aren’t going to want to stop!  I took some creative liberty with the colors because I think this flower looks beautiful in any color.  

I was thinking of a friend when I created this card and had the idea of fresh bouquet of flowers wrapped in kraft packaging paper.  I created a large floral spray across my card, tucking in some additional foliage from the Autumn Icons Die.   

I arranged my bouquet on a wheat card base that I had cut with the Sweet Plaid Texture Die.   Then I added an embossed sentiment from the Sweet Lattice Sentiments Combo.

By this time I was humming "brown paper packages tied up with string", so I added a little bow and called it a day. :)

Thanks so much for visiting today!  All of these fabulous products are available now, so make sure you head over to the Waffle Flower Shop to check out this amazing new release.  But before you go, don't forget to enter the giveaway. :)

Waffle Flower Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello, friends!  I'm back for the final day of sneak peeks for Waffle Flower Craft's Pumpkin Patch release.  Today we're introducing a fabulous basic that you'll want to use all year.  The Piercing Layers Dies are sure to quickly become a crafty staple. 

As I was falling asleep one night I was thinking about my card assignments and the idea of a card of completely neutrals came to mind. This is a departure from my normal as choosing color combinations is one of my most favorite things to do, but since the thought persisted, I decided I should go for it.

I used the A2 Additional Piercing Layers Dies to frame both my sentiment as well as the beautiful flowers on my card.  I love the little detail it adds. 

I used both the the Sunflower Cluster Die and the coordinating stencil to color the flowers.  Then I added some paint flecks and white gel pen details on the flower centers.  I really think I could happily create with these stencils and dies every day. 

The sentiment is from the Sweet Lattice Sentiments Stamp Set. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Tomorrow the release is live and you can start shopping for all your favorites. Plus there will be several giveaways. ;)

Waffle Flower Pumpkin Patch Release Sneak Peeks

Good morning!  Sneak peeks for Waffle Flower Crafts' Pumpkin Patch Sneak Peek are in full swing.  This release has many products that I love, and I'm excited to share two cards with you today.  

I’m quite certain I could use the Sunflower Cluster Die & Stencil again and again and again and never cease to be amazed by its beauty.  You will be thrilled at how quickly a card comes together with just one run through with the die and some perfectly placed ink blending thanks to the clever Sunflower Cluster Stencil.  

I finished my card with the Autumn Word Die of which I am completely smitten.

My next card showcases the new Pumpkin Patch Panel Die/Stencil and the Autumn Icons Dies.

The Pumpkin Patch Panel Die looks great on its own, or you can add some color to it by using the Pumpkin Patch Coloring Stencil like I did here. I went to town adding lots of shimmery splotches after blending the color on the pumpkins and leaves.  I love the way the Pumpkin Patch Panel Die adds a lovely bit of texture and dimension to a card, and I backed my panel with a darker piece of cardstock to emphasize that.

I thought the Pumpkin Patch Panel Die paired beautifully with the Autumn Icons Dies, so I arranged a cluster of the them in the bottom corner of my card. 

I added a quick sentiment with the Hey Pumpkin Word Die, and the card was good to go!

All of these fabulous new products will be available for purchase on October 5, so save the date.  I'll be back in the next few days to share more sneak peeks. Wishing you a fabulous day!
