Every Blessing

I love making fall cards as much as I love the fall season! The colors, the cooler temps, the crisp leaves falling on the ground. These new leaves dies are so wonderful! I love the detail & cutouts. This would be perfect for Thanksgiving or just a thank you card to someone special.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge IC1087 so we are visiting Family Handyman & his Pinterest Boards. I used THIS picture for my inspiration.

To my glittery fall card, I die cut the leaves out of different colors of glittery, fall colored papers. The Cascading Dots Cover die was cut out of white, then trimmed down. A piece of sparkly orange paper was added behind the partial cover w/ just a little showing on each side. The mini sayings were stamped on white, then the mini sentiment strips were used to cut the greetings & also their backing layers out of a sparkly dk copper paper. All in all, it’s a pretty easy to make card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Santa’s Ride

Posted on September 19, 2026 9:38 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have a fun Christmas card that was pretty easy to make. It’s all die cuts plus one stencil and one blue ink. So no coloring and it would be easy to make a bunch at one time and maybe use different paper behind Santa or different color paper for Santa to change it up.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS1024, so a big congrats to Darlene! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Christmas theme & navy & white color combo, but I used all die cuts instead of stamps, added a stenciled background & made mine a 5×7 card.

After die cutting Santa, the reindeer & the snowflakes out of white, I die cut a large marquee background out of a night sky designer paper. I also used the same set of marquee dies to cut a white frame. For the stenciled bg, I used a falling snow stencil & 1 color of blue ink to lightly add some color. With the stencil still in place, I coated it w/ a glitter grit paste & let it dry. A little more blue was added around the edges after it dried. Then everything was attached to the 5×7 card, w/ some elements popped up.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
