Hello Friend

Hi everyone! It's me, Ann, back with another Friday post :)

Today I'm here to share with you my Pumpkin Spice project for the week.  I went with something rather simple, but I really fussed over what to do with the card.  It felt plain, and at first I didn't know how to add a sentiment to it, but I defaulted to using one of the pretty Spellbinders dies.  Oh and if you didn't already know, Shop Pumpkin Spice now carries the whole array of Spellbinders and they are available to order HERE.  As always, the prices are rock bottom!

The papers I used were from the elegant My Mind's Eye - "Lost & Found Two" - "Sunshine"- 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  The flower in the center was handcut using one of the papers from the pad and the pretty brad in the middle of the flower is from the Echo Park "Happy Days" - Happy Days Brad Assortment.

 Stamp: sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Friendship Ticket Sentiments; PapersMy Mind's Eye - "Lost & Found Two" - "Sunshine"- 6 x 6 Paper Pad; Embellishments: lace, pearls, brad from  Echo Park "Happy Days" - Happy Days Brad Assortment; Tools: Spellbinder dies
Thanks for stopping by today!  Make sure to come back over the weekend because we're having a blog hop on Sunday, October 2nd!

I'll Owl-ways love Echo Park, My Mind's Eye, and My Pink Stamper


  Hi, this is June Houck with your Thursday ShopPumpkinSpice inspiration.  I made this card for my sweet friend, Leeanne, who celebrated her birthday last week.  She and I love owls (you know I had to use polka dot paper!)  I knew I wanted to cut this particular owl from one of my newest Cricut cartridges, so I went in search of papers.  I chose my two most-favorite paper companies:  My Mind's Eye and Echo Park.  I was actually crafting this with my sweet friend, Court.  It was she who suggested I put him in a tree (rather than a branch), to pop-up his tummy and wings, and add i-Rock pearls to the hat.  Isn't fun to create with friends?  (Product links in my supply list.)

Supplies:
Cricut cartridges:  Straight from the Nest owl (p.30 cut @ 3"); party hat (p. 63 cut @ 2 1/4"); Plantin Schoolbook oval (cut @ 3 3/4")
paper:  My Mind's Eye Lime Twist "Charmed" Ric-rac Paper; Echo Park "Victoria Gardens":  Garden Pond, Cheerful Words, Wild Rose/ Bluebird, Garden Gate, and Sunshine
stamp:  My Pink Stamper "Punny-licious"
other:  Imaginisce i-Rock tool and pearls

Happy Thursday!  June Houck for ShopPumpkinSpice

Hello Friends, Thanks you so much for taking the time to check out my posting today.  I hope you got a 'smile' out of something you saw or got some inspiration to go do something crafty.

Pop-up Card with Court's Crafts

Courtney from Court's Crafts here to bring you something orange and green!

Hello and happy Wednesday! 

Today for my Pumpkin Spice post I am sharing with you a baby/thank you card! My friends just found out that they are expecting another child. They are my friends with identical twin 18 month olds! Whew are they going to have their hands full! :) I am very excited for them.

They were surprised on the sex for their girls and are waiting again to find out for this one, so I had to make a gender neutral card.  

They had us over for dinner while we were in Las Vegas so I wanted to make a thank you card for them. It turned into a baby card! 



It's also my first attempt at a pop-up card! Here is the inside.

Stella Rose by SugarGem

Hi there! It's Lenae here from SugarGem today to share another little card! I did something totally out of my comfort zone today. I didn't use ANY pink or cupcakes!




I finally got some inspiration to use my Stella Rose papers! I fell in love with the Stella Rose, but just couldn't figure out what I wanted to make with it. Then I got this super cute stamp and I knew exactly what papers I was going to use! You can find the paper here! Plus I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Nine and Standard Circles. Did you know that you can special order Spellbinders now? Aren't you excited???? I am!!!!
Thanks for stopping bye today! :)

If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!
XOXO SugarGem
