Hey there! One of the reasons I blogged so little last week was because I was working on projects for the baby shower for my soon-to-come baby granddaughter, Scarlett!
Today I am sharing the Thank You Cards I created for her mama, Grace, to write her thank-you's after the shower. The shower theme was "A Little Pumpkin Is On The Way", so I used the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set to create this with Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes:
I stamped everything on the Basic White front layer with Flirty Flamingo ink first before die-cutting with the Stitched Greenery Die.
This sentiment from Pretty Pumpkins is perfect for this baby shower thank-you! I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle.
Inside I stamped the same group of pumpkins again, but added the smiling faces with one image from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. It's amazing how the same image looks different on each pumpkin because of the difference in the pumpkin size and shape! The inside sentiment is one of several included in the Ornate Thanks stamp set.

Hey there! Every year since Grace became part of our family, actually even before, I have created her birthday card with either a coffee or a pumpkin theme, or both. This year I used the Pretty Pumpkins bundle of stamps and dies with Hand Penned Designer Paper to create this:
I stamped directly on the Pale Papaya polka-dotted Hand Penned designer paper with Versamark, then heat embossed with gold powder. I cut the pumpkin out with a Detailed Pumpkins die. I also stamped directly on the Mint Macaron striped Hand Penned paper to gold heat emboss the leaves and vines. There are Detailed Pumpkins dies to cut out these too!
I cut the lacy pumpkin from Gold Foil with another Detailed Pumpkins die before adhering to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue. The other pumpkin and vines are adhered with either Mini Stampin' Dimensionals or glue dots.
We truly are thankful for Grace joining our family 2 1/2 years ago, so this sentiment is perfect! I accented the card front with a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Inside I heat embossed another Pretty Pumpkins sentiment and group of pumpkins. I embossed the same on the envelope.

Hey there! We had a busy weekend! Friday night we went to the "4th Annual Pumpkin Palooza" at Troy & Grace's house where there was a Pumpkin Carving Contest and the menu was all pumpkin-based, then on Saturday I had a booth at the Ina Fall Festival Craft Fair. Sunday was our regular family dinner after church, and then Sunday evening our church was in charge of the Ina Fall Festival Community Church Service, so it was altogether a full weekend!
Monday was a catch-up day for me and a day of caring for Fiona, so I'm glad I finally have been able to find some time to share these fall swaps with you!
To start off, here's a pretty fall card created with the Pretty Pumpkins bundle by Rhonda Bassler!
She created a lovely center easel card!
Next, Carol Slack also used Pretty Pumpkins, but with a very different look!
Emily Tull also used the Pretty Pumpkins bundle, combining it with Biggest Wish and In Good Taste Designer Paper:
Jan Rodrian used the Time of Giving Bundle with Peaceful Prints Designer paper, a freebie from the Sale-a-bration brochure!
Karen Kurz combined Welcoming Woods, Pattern Party Host Designer Paper, and the Deer Builder Punch:
Finally, Ruth Bingle has created a lovely card with the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set!
She created a fun-fold fold-out!
Supplies to order to make any of these pretty cards!

Hey there! Today I have a card I created just for fun! I used the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle with You're A Peach Designer Series Paper, which sounds like an unusual pairing, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out!
I embossed the 4" x 5 1/4" white panel with the Animal Print embossing folder, which seems like another dubious choice, but by embossing after adding the four strips of designer paper, the animal print looks like flowers to me!
I tied the bow with the Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon before wrapping the ends around to the back side of the layer and securing with Stampin' Seal. I added a glue dot under the bow to secure in place.
Inside I used a sentiment from Peaceful Moments and a die-cut from the Detailed Pumpkins Dies and You're A Peach Designer Series Paper.
I finished off the front with a Flirty Flamingo label Punched with the Everyday Label Punch and white heat embossed with a sentiment from Pretty Pumpkins.
So, what do you think of my unlikely pairings of Stampin' Up! products?

Here's the bundles you can choose from when you purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit this month!
Hey there! School started yesterday for my Liam & Darcy, which means I am back to babysitting for their baby sister, Fiona! With back-to-school also comes thoughts of fall, and I've been playing a bit with the Pretty Pumpkins bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog, aka Holiday Catalog!
I used a new-to-me fun-fold, the Pop-Up-Flip along with the new Timber 3D embossing folder and copper heat embossing.
Tip: Always stamp or heat-emboss your sentiment before you dry emboss with your folder and Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!
I love the detail of this copper heat-embossed pumpkin, cut with one of the Detailed Pumpkins Dies!
I cut this pumpkin from Copper Brushed Metallic card stock, a returning favorite to the Holiday Mini!
When you open the card the focal point pumpkin from the front pops up inside!
I stamped the pumpkins with Cajun Craze ink and copper heat-embossed the sentiment.
Here's a video by JanB from the UK that will show you the easy mechanism for this card:
