Sending S'more Holiday Cheer

 

I've been having lots of fun in my craft studio recently :) Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I made using the S'more Holiday stamps and coordinating dies as well as the Graham Cracker Cuts (all from The Greetery). So cute!!!

 

I purchased these goodies last year and unfortunately never got around to using them. Ugh. Does that happen to anyone else? I get way too excited and wrapped up in ALL of the fabulous holiday releases, and I end up buying WAY MORE than I ever have time to use before the holidays are here and gone. This year I've tried really hard to resist buying new holiday-themed products so I could make use of all the awesome, neglected, NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff) in my stash. I confess...I have ordered a few things...but not much...hahaha!

I took this same design and made another in green:

I had a blast making these cards! Linking this up at NBUS Challenge 31. Big thanks to Darnell for hosting this challenge and encouraging us creatives to use our "schtuff" ;)

Thanks for visiting! Have a fantastic day!!!

Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using this fabulous sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:

I just recently purchased the Snowman Season stamp set from Stampin' Up :) It's sooooo incredibly cute!!! I absolutely ADORE every image in this set, and the sentiment I've used on my card below totally melts my heart.

I hope you have a chance to get crafty and have some fun today!

Pumpkin Gift Card Holders

 Happy Friday! Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - "Anything Goes" and sharing some festive little pumpkin gift card holders I made. These were inspired by the new Patchwork Pumpkin products over at Honey Bee Stamps AND also inspired by a super fun video by MayMay Made It Crafts (you can watch her YouTube video HERE.)

I had to tweak MayMay's instructions a bit as I don't have very many oval or circle dies (GASP!!!). I know!!! Better remedy that situation ASAP ;) Since the ovals I DO have weren't tall enough...and I didn't have a circle that was large enough...I just used what I had, built my pumpkins and then adhered them onto a 4" x 2 3/4" blank notecard. Not as neat and tidy as MayMay's...but still cute, right?!?!

I left the inside of the notecards blank, so they can be used for Halloween, Thanksgiving or just general Autumn-themed gifties. But I did use the Gift Card Grooves Dies from MFT to die-cut some little slots for holding the gift cards in place:

 And of course once I got rolling on this I just kept right on going. Ha!

 I made six. Two of each color scheme. Here's a look at the whole pumpkin patch:

 

What do you think??? Do you have a favorite???
