For my littlest niece... she has to get her own Thanksgiving card! lol!

The pumpkin and pumpkin leaves (bottom left) is from the new stamp set 'Pretty Pumpkins'. I cut the pumpkin out using the Detailed Pumpkins dies that coordinate with stamp set.

Veterans' Day 2021

 


I am so thankful for all the men and women who have fought for this great country! We wouldn't have the freedoms that we have now without them. Within our family, 5 people have served in the military. My husband's Dad (Army), my Dad (Airforce), my husband's brother (Navy), my brother (Navy) and my husband's sister's husband (our brother-in-law - Army).  Thanks for all you did!

I created this card within my digital software - My Memories Suite.
I felt that the frame resembled a 'dogtag' and would go well with my theme.

Thanks for checking in!
Happy Veterans' Day to all Veterans!

Supplies Used

Embellishments - MM9 Military (American Flag - MyMem)
Stamp Brush Set - Everyday Adventure Project Life(Frame - SU)

Here's A Home

 


With family members moving, one needs a good stamp set that can be used many different times, but still have unique card designs. With the 'Coming Home' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Home Together' dies you can achieve this! This has got to be my 4th card using this bundle.

Now, I did find a cute card, found on Pinterest, so wanted to create my own. Changing the colors and a bit of the layout... I've made it my own, but wanted to give credit to the person who created this lovely card! Thanks!

Alphabet Home

 



I liked the idea of Cathy's card where you use the home for the 'O' in the word HOME. Thanks for your inspiration. I made the card my own by using different letters and home stamp.

I designed the letters within My Memories Suite digital software. I did measure the spacing to make sure I had enough room for my home die-cut shape. The Stamp Set is 'Coming Home' and it coordinates with the 'Home Together' dies.

I colored in the image using my Stampin' Blends and used a dimensional to make the home 'pop' off the card.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Delicate Perfection

 


As I was perusing the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (August-September 2021), I saw this gem with only using the leaves from the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set. I changed a few things up to make the card my own, but the general inspiration was all Stampin' Up!'s. 

The intricate die-cut is so easy to adhere to the card using adhesive sheets. The process is this: Choose your cardstock and cut it down to the size you need. Next, take a piece of the adhesive sheet and pulling off the covering on one side (strips-side).... attach it to the cardstock you want to die-cut. Next die-cut the piece as you normally do (just place the adhesive side on the bottom). After die-cutting, peel the other side of the adhesive and adhere to your cardstock base.

The coloring of the images was done using Stampin' Blends markers. I stamped the leaves in Evening Evergreen and then colored them in using Soft Succulent.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
