Painted Harvest Thankful Card

There are a lot of gorgeous images on many of this year's Holiday Catalog designer papers. I especially love the sunflowers in the Painted Autumn paper. The design was expertly watercolored, so all I have to do it cut it out and use it on a card! I pulled out my Pocket Full of Sketches book for this easy card layout.

Do you ever feel "stuck" when you're making cards? You will love my Pocket Full of Sketches book! I just found a whole box of leftover books when we moved. If you didn't get one the first time I offered it, you'll definitely want it now!

This pocket-sized swatchbook includes ten different card layouts with two color photos of real cards to inspire you. The measurements for each layout are included, so you can just follow those measurements instead of having to figure it out yourself. For more card layouts like this one, get a copy of my Pocket Full of Sketches book, volume 2 -- before they're gone! Click here for details.

Clean and Simple Sympathy Card

I need to make up a bunch of these sympathy cards to have on hand because I never have enough when I need them. Last month, I used up some extra die cut pieces I had on my desk, added a stamp from the Giftable Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit, and pulled out some scraps from my Designer Paper bag to make this sympathy card. The paper I used on this card is retired, but you could easily substitute any designer paper using the same layout.

Christmas Happiness Mistletoe Card

Two-step stamping makes "coloring" this image a snap! The mistletoe image is three separate stamps: the outline image, the berries, and the leaves. The Christmas Around the World Designer Paper is a little busy, but there are some great patterns on the "back" side! I love this Christmas plaid!

Painted Harvest Thankful Card

Mother Nature is moody! It's officially fall, but you wouldn't know it by the temperature outside! It's been in the 90's here in Central Illinois. I'm ready for cooler weather and fall colors. Here's another card from my September Stamp of the Month Club card kit featuring the Painted Harvest stamp set. Did you know that there are many varieties of sunflowers that are not just all yellow? I found some gorgeous photos online that inspired this card. I used Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze for this two-step flower.

There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.

Each month, I feature a different stamp set. Those who participate in September will receive the Painted Harvest Photopolymer stamp set (or substitute a different set), pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping. Click here to learn more about Stamp of the Month Club.

Birthday Party Favor Tags

Late last month, we had a belated birthday party for my daughter at a local apple orchard. On the weekends, they have inflatables, mini golf, a corn maze, wagon ride, and other fun games and play things. The girls all had fun and they each left with a balloon. To keep the balloons from floating away, I tied each one to a bundle of lollipops and added this cute tag. The sentiment says: "THANK YOU for making my birthday happy".

The tags were super quick! I had the kids help me punch out the flowers and banner ends while I stamped the sentiment. I love the Everyday Label Punch! It's my new favorite! It's a great size and shape and works for so many occasions. It's not too frilly and is perfect or masculine cards too!
