October To Go Card Kits

After October my stamping will be all Christmas all the time.  So for October to go kits, you will get the supplies to make 8 cards (2 each of 4 designs) which will include cards that can be fall or Thanksgiving.  All you have to supply is the adhesive, ink and greeting stamps.  Everything else is pre-cut for you.  

If you are local we can arrange a porch pick up ($20) and I can mail your kit for $24.

October Fall and Halloween Stamp-a-Stack Cards

I had a fun Friday night and Saturday morning of stamping!  A couple of new stampers joined us Friday which is always fun.  And we had a good group Saturday and even went out to lunch afterwards!  

I like to ask what everyone’s favorite card was at the end of class.  My favorite answer is “I can’t decide”, but it sometimes surprises me which cards they choose.  This month it was a fairly even split. 

This Halloween card might be my favorite.  We used blending brushes with Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape ink to make the spooky background.  And I just love the extra touch the bats add.

And this one was my fall card/Thanksgiving card.  I pulled this long greeting from a old set of wooden stamps I have saved.  Many people went with Thanksgiving, but it also made a nice sympathy card. 

In October I usually do a Halloween card and two fallish cards that can be made into Thanksgiving or all occasion cards. A lot of stampers made this one into birthday, thinking of you and sympathy.

It's Beginning to Look Like Fall

Usually my September Stamp-a-Stack is an assortment of all occasion cards. I begin to shift to fall colors and flowers when I can, but the stamps sets this year really made for some great fall cards.

We've already used the At Home With You stamp set for Christmas in July but it's easy to switch up seasons with this versatile stamp set. If you look carefully, I think the sunflowers on the wreath are really daffodils, but with a little creative coloring- voila! 

Wild about Flowers stamp set is such a versatile set, but what makes it unique is that it has retirement words, and not many of our sets do. But can't you imagine this card as a birthday, thinking of you or even sympathy?

I thought adding part of the wood crate framelit would just add to the fall-ness of this card.  If you look closely, there's even a faint stamp that says farmers market on the crate.  I added a butterfly from the You Move Me set and the new Jute Twine from the holiday catalog for handles.  

I'll have to admit when I first saw the Painted Harvest stamp set in the catalog I wasn't bowled over. However I am a believer now!  Look at these beautiful sunflowers! Different color combinations can create widely different cards, but here I used Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze and Chocolate Chip.
