Pretty View of Fall – PP763

I noticed an arched window die online recently and was half tempted to purchase it until I realized I could easily re-create the window using SU’s Everyday Arches, so that’s what I did!

I began with a card base of Early Espresso card stock and added brick patterned paper from my stash. To create the window, I cut an arch from Early Espresso and then cut the next smallest arch using a patterned from SU’s retired All About Autumn DSP, creating the pretty fall scene. Then I cut an 1/8″ strip of Early Espresso card stock to create the “panes” on the top of the window. First putting one horizontally across and then placing one vertically in the center and spacing the two on either side. I’m glad I didn’t purchase that die!!

The sentiment, from Sunny Studios Autumn Greetings stamp set, is stamped directly onto the DSP in Early Espresso ink. I’ve been doing more of that direct stamping lately and like the look.

The inside sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps November 2025 Card Kit, Give Thanks and is also stamped in Early Espresso ink.

I’m playing along with the Paper Players Color Challenge….

Have a wonderful day!

Snowman Rosette Holiday Ornament/Tags – #TTTC283

, , , ,
Comments: 6

When I checked out the Tic Tac Toe challenge board this week, there were so many great elements to work with. This made it a little difficult to choose my direction. But after pulling out all my holiday products last week, I decided to create with some long neglected products to create a few holiday gift tags. So I started off with these four, featuring Spellbinders Snowman Die from a few years back.

Next I chose some patterned paper from Papertrey Ink’s Candy Cane Prints collection to create the rosettes. To create the rosettes, I used Tim Holtz Rosettes dies. All these products have been in my stash for quite a few years, so I was happy to use them again.

The sentiment is from Gina K’s Sparkle & Shine stamp set and the banner is from SU’s Traditional Labels die. I modified the label die to fit the the sentiment and then bent the sentiment to fit the label!

Here is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge board...I chose to go two ways: First, the first column down: Ornament, Red, Christmas Sentiment and secondly, the first row across: Ornament, Free, Snow/Snowman

Thanks for stopping by today!

What in the world is a “vertizontal” card!? Have you ever heard that word? Is it really even a word? Well, today’s card should clear up all those questions. Once again, I’m joining in Jeanie’s Mystery Monday challenge and once again, she came up with this unique fun fold.

So let’s get to the card…

My card features the Jolly Delivery stamp set along with the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. Head over to Jeanie’s blog HERE for the free PDF with all the measurements and instructions to create this card and to see her wonderful examples.

Here’s the inside with the gift card/money pocket…

I thought the DSP is perfect to gift this card along with some “cold cash” to our wonderful mail carrier, Sam. Sam is such a kind and considerate person who always goes above and beyond. I usually encounter him most days while walking Hazel and he never fails to stop to give her a cuddle and treat. Hazel gets so excited as soon as she sees the mail van even if it’s blocks away!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Take care,

Autumn Toile Thanksgiving Gatefold Z Fold

Hello! That blog title sure is a mouthful…right?! I’m back once again with a unique fun fold courtesy of Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Monday Fun Fold series. This is a fun way to experience new folds to add to your card making portfolio.

With the holidays quickly approaching, like they do every year, I’m winding down on creating Autumn cards and looking toward breaking out all the Christmas goodies in my stash. So, this may be my last fall-themed card for the year.

I’ve had such a good time creating with the Autumn Toile Designer Series paper this season and just had to create one more card with it…until next year when I’m sure I’ll revisit it again. It has to be one of my all-time favorite collections.

Along with using the Autumn Toile DSP, I also used the sentiment and coordinating dies from the Simon Says Stamps November Card Kit.

The sentiment on the inside is also from the SSS kit. The fonts in this stamp set are wonderful!

To get the full, detailed directions, please head to Jeanie’s blog HERE and download her free PDF. I think you’ll find this fold very fun as well as easy to create.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Take care,
