Oh, Nuts!


Hello, Reverse Confetti fans!


I have a fall-themed apology card for today using some fun Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts!






Sammy Squirrel is just the cutest and the punny sentiments are perfect!
I stamped Sammy over a piece of printed paper and layered up those Confetti Cuts for a festive fall-themed card ready to give out when I forget something!  LOL!


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Pretty Pink Posh - Winnie & Walter Inspiration Blog Hop




Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh and Winnie & Walter Inspiration Blog Hop!

I have two cards to share with you today using some fabulous Pretty Pink Posh dies, sequins and ribbon and some amazing stamps from Winnie & Walter!  

You should have arrived here by way of the amazing Nichol!  If not, you will want to start at the beginning of the blog hop over at Pretty Pink Posh!

Happy Halloween Card

For this Halloween card, I die cut the Stitched Film Strip Die from patterned paper and layered the strip along with the frames and embellished them with some fussy-cut pumpkins from Winnie&Walter's Moonlight stamp set.  The sentiment from Moonlight was stamped onto a piece of vellum and added to finish off the card along with some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Tangerine, 4mm Sparkling Clear, 6mm Sparkling Clear and 6mm Pumpkin Sequins.



Thankful for You Card

For this fall-themed card, I used several Pretty Pink Posh dies to layer a fall-themed scene.  I used the rectangle from the Stitched Duo 2 Die, the tag from Stitched Duo 1 Dies, and the Stitched Borders 2 Dies along with some shiny 4mm Trick or Treat Sequins and the gorgeous Winnie & Walter stamp set, A Tree for All Seasons.  The tag was finished off with some gorgeous Brown Riffled Ribbon.
