I used the Winter Fairies stamp set by Poppystamps, along with a stitched border by MFT and holly die by Spellbinders to make this cute little ATC. The fairies are great for use all year round, just by changing the color of their outfits and using different accessories.

I needed to make several cards, quickly, to send to elderly relatives, and a sheet of Fresh Cuts tags were the perfect solution. I used paper by DCWV, and added a gold brad, burlap by DCWV, and an epoxy sticker for a quick and easy design. As I didn't want to add extra bulk by using a dark brown layer to frame the design, I used a marker to add a border, for the same effect.
I played with a few dies sets that I hadn't used much tonight, and made another Christmas design with these Poppystamps dies. The birch tree frame and the squirrels are all by Poppystamps, and the tiny ornament hanging from the branch is by Crafters Companion. The sentiment is Flora and Fauna. My original idea was to draw a silver line to hang the ornament, but my silver pen had dried out and so I had to figure something else that would work. A piece of silver thread, and holes punched beneath the branch and ornament solved my problem! Aren't they little squirrels cute with their holiday decorations up already?!

I bought this cute fireplace die a long time ago, but never got around to actually using it. It was definitely time! I used a lot of different stamps and dies on this card and it was a lot of fun to make. The fireplace (with log and flames) and tiny mouse are by Poppystamps, and the tiny trees are by Gina Marie Designs. I also used a cat silhouette die by Impression Obsession, and stamp by Momenta. The fireplace looked bare, but I didn't have any garlands or stockings that are small enough to go with this set, so I added a string of colored rhinestones instead. I cut out some extra die cuts to play with when I have more free time and won't let this die set gather dust again!

I needed a few Thanksgiving cards to send to my family, and what better to be thankful for than coffee! I used papers by DCWV and Echo Park. The coffee cup die and pumpkin are by Spellbinders. I embossed the coffee cup with a folder by Darice.
As the 2021 Fall and Winter Coffee Lovers Hop winds up, I made a few more cards. Fall colors and coffee just seem to go together, don't they? I used border punches by Fiskars, along with a coffee cup die by Paper Smooches, steam die by Cottage Crafts, and acorn and leaf dies by Spellbinders and Karen Burniston. The background paper was made using stamps by Stampin' Up.

I pulled out a very old stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers (which is no longer in business) to make this autumn themed card. The papers are by DCWV, and scraps from my stash. The little pumpkin and leaf die cuts are by Spellbinders and I found that olive green cord stuffed into a drawer. It's time to stop hoarding all these old supplies and USE them!
I used a coffee cup die by MFT, along with a pumpkin die by Sizzix and stitched rectangle by Gina Marie. The sentiment and stamped rope circle are by Gina K Designs. I wish I had a full sheet of this pretty paper instead of just a scrap, but I made the most of it. I cut the coffee sleeve from the base paper, which I covered with the sentiment layer. No one will ever know!

AI challenge 316, Thanks or Thanksgiving
Fall is my favorite season, and I never seem to make enough fall themed cards before I get caught up in my Christmas card and tag making. I did, however, manage to make this fall blessings card to send to my sister for Thanksgiving. The background is make with distress inks and I used a large leaf die by Sizzix, along with a pumpkin die cut from my stash, and vine die by Spellbinders. The sentiment die is by Karen Burniston and was cut from candy box packaging.
I used another image from the Perfect Blends stamp set by Pink and Main, along with another paper from their Sweater Weather paper pad. The die cut label is by Spellbinders, and the sentiment is by Taylored Expressions. The dots are Nuvo drops.
