Bunches of Thanks With Come To Gather...

Need to make a whole batch of Thank You cards for fall?!  Well look no further than the Come to Gather Suite!  The Come to Gather Designer Series Paper in this suite makes card making a breeze.  Look at how well these three patterns work!  Same layout, same card, and all with one pack of paper!!!  Even using just these three patterns of paper, you can get 72 cards from one pack...with a half a pack of paper left to use on other projects!  (Like the gift pouch I shared HERE!)  

Colors: Petal Pink, Gray Granite, Pool Party, Whisper White

Inks: Petal Pink, Gray Granite

Cardstock/Papers:  Gray Granite, Shimmery Whisper White, Whisper White, Pool Party, Come to Gather Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Gather Together

Tools: Gathered Leaves Dies, Stitched Nested Labels Dies

Accessories: Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack, Whisper White Baker's Twine

So what do you think?  Which one is your favorite?!  I couldn't really pick a "for sure" favorite, but maybe it would be this wood grain one...

I sure do love it.  Also...fun note...I watercolored the pumpkins with Petal Pink!!!  I LOVE the subtle color it gives to the pumpkin.

Watercoloring was so quick and easy too.  I just smooshed my ink pads together before opening.  Open partway, and then use an Aqua Painter to get some of the ink on the brush trip and color away.  So quick and easy! 

Then die-cut and add to your card!  This card was one of the make and takes at my latest stamping retreats.  I loved how people got to make a variety of cards, based on what pattern of paper they got in their kit! 

Would love to hear what you think!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions on anything!!!

Colors: Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam, Copper

Inks: Petal Pink, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers:  Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Copper Foil Sheets, Come to Gather Designer Series Paper

This was one of my make & takes at my latest Suite Stampin' Success/Holiday Crafting Extravaganza event.  I loved watched a whole bunch of people making it! 

These Tags & Feathers Elements add so much to this project. 

I love this color combo also...Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, and Copper.  Look out for more cards using this combo!  😁

Making this gift pouch is so easy also!  Just take a bag, cut off a small sliver on each side of the bag, cutting down about 1" or so, and fold down.  

Then decorate!

Aren't they just precious?!

This card was simple to put together, yet packs a big punch...a Pineapple Punch!  (That's the name of the yellow color I used.  Haha.)

TGIF Challenge 191...Let's Get A Little Christmas Crazy!!!

Is anyone out there all done with their Christmas prep?!  I am sure there are some of you out there, but this gal is NOT one of them!  Oh how I wish I was!  But...I am going to be pulling some long hours to get it all done this year!  Haha.  'Tis the season!!!!  This weeks TGIF Challenge is here to HELP!!!  It's all about Christmas!!  First up, here is my project:

Stamps: Farmhouse Christmas

Accessories: Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine, Festive Farmhouse Elements, Mini Pizza Box

And the challenge:

Isn't this challenge PERFECT for right now?!  Just a few more days until Christmas!  So yay for some last minute crunch time inspiration!  😀 I love this card box because who wouldn't need some 3"x3" cards for this time of year?!  They are the perfect size to include with any gift you are giving.  

And they look so cute all packaged up in their little box...

Then the receiver could even use all the cards and then re-use the box for a gift they are giving!  Because HOW CUTE is this?!!??  

***Note:  Sadly...the Farmhouse Elements I used here are all sold out.  I had some I had already gotten before they sold out to use.  But there are lots of thinlits/die-cuts/stamps/embellishments you could replace for the elements that I used.  

What do you think?  What are you going to make for this challenge!?!  We can't wait to see!  Head over to the CHALLENGE BLOG to play along!  Can't wait to see what you do!!!!
