• Hey Boo! Time for some Halloween cards!

    Hey Boos! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a delightful October so far! Today I’m sharing some fun Halloween cards for ya! I LOVE making Halloween cards! I’m running out of time. This month is going by so fast already. I wait all year for my favorite month!! This past Saturday, the 3rd, my hubs and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! Yay! I am so blessed to have this man in my life! We had a lovely dinner out at our favorite restaurant Saturday night and this week we’ve been doing little adventures and celebrating together. You can see our adventures over on my Instagram!

    We were scheduled to go on a good vacation this week, but I was laid off from my job in June – and that was very bad for my mental health and our finances. I’m grateful to report I got a new job a couple of weeks ago so I’m hopeful again that things are back on track. For the first time in my life I found myself without a job when I wanted one. This is no joke. The current job market is no joke either. If you know anyone looking for a job right now, please give them lots of grace and kindness. I’ve been truly humbled by this experience. Crafting and blogging has been my relief and fun.

    Today I have Halloween cards from two of my favorite companies – Taylored Expressions and Concord & 9th! Oh yeah. Such cute supplies! There is not enough time to make everything I want to make!! So happy to share with you today.

    First up is this adorable ghostie bestie, made with supplies from Taylored Expressions! I used the Ghost Hugs stamps and dies to create this one. My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used a color palette of lime green, teal and orange and it’s so bright and vivid. The lime layer was embossed with a spider web embossing folder…. I die cut out the ghost, the cat (!!), the bat, the banner, and the pumpkin. I added white gel pen accents to everything. I stamped the face and the sentiment, the BOO and the little orange stars. A few colorful gems finished off the card. This one makes me smile!!

    My second card today was made with supplies from Concord & 9th! Happy Spooky Season! This tiny haunted house and accessories are so fun. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some stripes and then a white panel that I ink blended into a dusk evening sky! I used the Spook Alley dies to create a trick-or-treat scene… A teeny fence, little bats, and a little moon. And don’t get me started on those adorable ghosts!!

  • The Greetery – Spooky Greetings! Happy October!

    Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s my turn on The Greetery Blog today!! Happy Friday and Happy October! Also, tomorrow is my 25 year wedding anniversary! I love October! It’s officially time to make all of our Halloween crafts! The air is crisp (at least in the morning, ha) and the anticipation is here!

    I do love everything Vintage and Cheery Halloween. So today I took the opportunity to use a lot of Greetery Supplies to create a fun Halloween card to share with you. My card was inspired by everything spooktacular! My card features that giant and cute Honeycomb Spider and one of the new Botanical Pumpkins, along with small accent dies from the new Eerie Avenue Dies. I mixed and matched all the fun things! Let’s get started!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLIES FOR TODAY’S CARD!

    My finished card is approximately 5×7 and is made using the large Zig Zag oval from the Capsule Star Studded Borders. I used a few of the capsule shapes and layered black, gingham and white for the foundation of the card. I assembled the Honeycomb Spider and used the Halloween Honeycombs to make him black. I splattered on a bit of silver paint. I glued the eyes directly onto the honeycomb portion. Next I die cut out the Botanical Pumpkin and ink shaded it, and also splashed on silver paint. 

    I die cut the 31 numbers using the Bold Numbers Dies and metallic silver paper. Lastly I die cut out spiderwebs, ghosts and stars to accent the larger pieces. I used the Star Struck Die and the Eerie Avenue Dies. See how the spider is holding that fun banner in his legs!? Ha. The sentiment is from the new Simple Autumn Sentiment Mini stamp set. A few gems complete everything – I had to add more sparkle. I used foam tape to attach everything to the card.

    That’s it for my project for today! Boo! Sending Spooky Greetings from my craft room to yours! I hope you have an awesome and creative day today. It’s my pleasure to share with you! I will see you soon…. In the meantime, happy crafting! XOXO

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Beautiful Fall 2026 new release! Scarecrows and leaves and pumpkins!

    Greetings friends! This week, on Tuesday, was the first official day of Fall 2026! Yeah! My favorite season is here! We’ve been going to college football games already and the leaves are changing in my neighborhood. It’s still pretty hot here though! Longing for sweater weather and getting to wear cute fall clothes! Ha. It’s been a busy few weeks. We went to a great concert last weekend and we are enjoying the new season. There are new stamps arriving almost daily for Christmas (already) but that can wait just a bit.

    Today I am sharing three FUN FALL cards I made with the awesome new Pretty Pink Posh release! There was a big Instagram Hop this week and today is my day to join the hop. CLICK HERE to leave a comment on my post for a chance to win a prize. I am so excited to share my projects from the release!! Let’s get to it!

    I noticed after the last Greetery Release that I have a lot of new subscribers! Welcome! Thank you!

    My first card for today features the brand new Fall Bucket Additions and the new Stitched Leaves (SO gorgeous), and also the new Happy Fall Stamp set! My finished card is an A2 card base covered in bright blue gingham (to offset all the warm tones). Next I layered an Eyelet Rectangle that I ink blended in honey yellows…. The star of the show is that adorable Scarecrow Bucket! I used the Candy Bucket Dies and added the Scarecrow accessories. I filled the bucket with leaves and apples. It’s the perfect Fall situation! The sentiment is from the new stamp set and I die cut it out with the matching dies. I gave him pink cheeks using some old craft chalk from my stash.

    I ink blended around all the die cut pieces – I always love how that looks. I added a sunflower to his hat and splattered white paint on everything. I also added white gel pen accents. I made a little band for his hat using the same blue gingham paper. He looks happy I think!

    My next card features the brand new Fall Scarecrows Stamp Set along with lots of other PPP favorites… The fence, the grass, the cloud stencil, and the pumpkins! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with yellow gingham, then a white Pinking Rectangle panel. I stenciled a bright blue sky for the background and it makes me smile! I stamped and die cut out all the pieces and colored them using my Copic Markers. I used white pen accents too and just a little bit of glitter. Isn’t this the happiest scene? I die cut some grass and combined it with the white fence and just kind of tucked the other elements into the fence. The sentiment is perfect!

    I added a few little orange hearts to just add a little more orange to the project. Most of the elements are affixed to the card using foam squares.

    My last card for today is FAAAALLLLLL! hahaha. This card features the brand new Fall Word Shaker Dies, the new Stitched Leaves, the new Fall Holder Additions and the new Happy Fall Stamp Set! So much color!! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with orange gingham and then a Rounded Rectangle panel. I inked the rectangle with light teal to ‘ground’ the warm colors. I started by die cutting the FALL using woodgrain cardstock. I layered three of them to make it thicker and more substantial on the card. Next I die cut a bunch of leaves, sunflowers and an acorn from fall colors and inked everything with Distress inks. I splattered gold paint onto the woodgrain…. I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing to match the splatters. I attached the FALL word to the card and then layered the leaves in behind the word die. A few brown hearts finish off the card.

  • The Greetery – Life is Beautiful – Fall Rose Tapestry Card!

    Hi creative and crafty friends! Happy Friday! It’s officially fully fall! We’ve been going to football games, and the mornings are cooler… I’m so excited! And, it’s my turn today on The Greetery Blog! I feel like it’s time to get ready for everything Autumn! I’m ready ready ready! My favorite season will go by so fast, so I have to get creating! Ha. I hope you are doing well and making some fun things in your craft room too. Today’s card was inspired by my love of cross stitch and my love of fall. I used the gorgeous Rose Tapestry Stencils in warm orange tones and combined it with a lot of other Greetery favorites. Let’s get started!

    My finished card is a kraft A2 card base. I layered a cream panel that I embossed with the gorgeous Autumn Herbarium Embossing Folder. Then I layered a touch of gingham and then my hoop and ‘stitching.’

    I started by stenciling the Rose Tapestry Stencils onto a cream panel. I used Distress Inks and blending brushes to get a nice even layer of colors. I then splattered warm gold paint over the top. I used the Hoopla Ovals Dies and the Hoopla Ovals Inserts Dies to create my embroidery hoop. I absolutely love how this looks – such creative products!! 

    I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using the Rolling Hills Bella Terra stamp set and matching dies. So elegant! I used the Autumn Harvest and the Curio Autumn dies to add some pumpkins and leaves. I ink shaded my die cut pieces to add a bit of depth. I used a strip of green gingham paper to add a bit more color. The hoop is mounted onto the card using foam tape to make it pop. Finished up with a few orange gems.

    My first card for today is big and bold, and full of all the favorite colors of Fall! This card features the brand new Hand Picked Harvest Stencils! OH MY GOURD! This is SO pretty in person! Seriously, I had the most fun mixing and matching colors to stencil for this card! This is the entire panel…but there is also a matching embossing folder and a big die that cuts out all the different elements. (I can’t wait to see what everyone made with this one!)…. To me it ended up looking like an old vintage seed packet, so I left it as is, and made my entire card from that panel.

    My finished card here is just slightly smaller than 5×7 and I mounted the cream stenciled panel onto a kraft card base. The sentiment is from the new Simple Autumn Sentiments Mini stamp set. I used just a few simple embellishments in order to feature those pretty, colorful images. LOVE this!!

    My second card for today is the only card that doesn’t have orange! Ha! One of my other favorite fall color palettes is golden yellow and purple…. This card features the brand new Wildwood Suite. There are Stencils, an embossing folder, and dies! I used the stencils and dies to create a pretty, cozy floral. I used the Capsule Basics as my layering pieces to create a sweet oval card.

    I started this card by stenciling the gorgeous Wildwood Stencils onto a cream cardstock and then die cutting it out with the largest Capsule Basic die. I splattered on gold ink for a classy look. I die cut a purple bow using the Regency Bow 2 for a bit more color! For the sentiment I used the Simple Autumn Sentiments and gold embossed onto vellum. I die cut one pretty yellow flower as an accent. This card is perfect for any occasion! And I can’t wait to stencil these gorgeous florals in different colors.

    Okay, friends! One more final project for release week! Yeah! You know that I love Halloween and I love making treat boxes and bags…. Well, have I got a fun one for you today! This project features the brand new, latest addition to the Market Place series! This one is called Market Place Eerie Avenue! And it makes a (semi) haunted house! Gosh, it’s the best!

    I used the Market Place 1 House along with the Large Arch Box and the new Eerie Avenue stamps and dies to create a spooky treat box. I just adore all the tiny little details and I know you will too – ghosts and bats and a tree and a little tiny fence, and pumpkins! Here is my treat box…..

    Here is the back of my Arch Box – I used some Halloween paper from my stash. The spiderwebs are part of the new die set. I tied the top using black and orange ribbons and twine…. Feels more festive that way!

    My first card for today features a few of the new Bigger Autumn Botanicals Dies – the corn, the pumpkin and the mums… SO pretty and so easy to mix and match into your Fall projects. I combined the new items with some previously released favs – like that pretty Cottage Tile Background… My finished card is an A2 kraft card base layered with cream and kraft and then a fall tag! The sentiment is from the brand new Simple Autumn Sentiments stamp set!

    I die cut out all the pretty elements: the corn, mums, pumpkin and bow and inked the edges of everything with matching Distress Inks. I die cut out a tag using the Tag Team dies and this is the Regency Bow 2. It all goes together so beautifully! I arranged everything onto the tag using foam squares and created a fall arrangement….

    Here’s a close up of the elements…. I started by embossing and die cutting the backgound panel. Then I die cut out all the shakes and inked them. I coated them with pretty warm gold splatters too! I wanted this card to look vintage so I used some crinkle ribbon and warm brown ink blending in the background. I used foam squares to mount the elements onto the card.

    My final card for today features the newest addition to the Bitty Botanicals lineup! This card features the brand new Bitty Autumn Botanicals stamps and stencils. My finished card is a cream A2 card base layered with brown gingham. I stamped and stenciled the Bitty Botanicals and then die cut my panel into an arch! This card is clean and simple…. I used the previously released Diamond Ribbons stencil for the teal portions. (I love a pop of teal with fall colors!)

  • The Greetery – Fun Birthday Fishes Card!

    Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s my day today on The Greetery Blog! How has your Summer been? Can you believe it’s August!? Hot Summer nights, and maybe some fishing?! Today’s card was inspired by Summer colors and themes. Maybe one final blast of summer colors and themes? Not sure yet! I combined lots of old and new supplies from the Greetery to create a vibrant and silly birthday card – birthday fishes! My goal for today is to inspire you to look at your stamping supplies in a different way – for example – carrot leaves as seaweed!… Let’s get started!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR THIS CARD!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered some stripey paper from my stash (to evoke a beach umbrella)… I used the largest die from the Canned Dies to create my white background layer. I used the awesome Making Waves stencils to stencil the background waves. (I used only a portion of the stencil and that’s good too!) See, lots of uses for different items!

    Here’s a side view of all the different layers! I combined different sentiments and I love the little banner one! I made my crab pink this time instead of red. I think she’s a girl crab. LOL. And that adorable little smile! Hee hee

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR THIS CARD!

    I die cut the Honeycomb Crab from salmon pink cardstock and die cut the fishies and party hats from the Something Fishy die set. I thought it would be so cute to have the crab holding up the fish! (This card makes me smile) I used the Botaniuts Carrot dies to make my ‘seaweed’ for some added interest. I used two sentiments on this card – from the Honeycomb Summer Sentiments and the Something Fishy Sentiments. I added some aqua colored enamel dots and glitter as my final touches. This will be a fun card for the fisherman/woman in your life!

    Don’t you love that pink + aqua color combo? So fresh!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR THIS CARD!

    Have fun – get our your supplies and mix and match everything. Look at your dies in a different way – and who knows what you might come up with! That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have an awesome and creative day! Cheers to the end of Summer and all of it’s magic. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda

  • Pretty Pink Posh – New Release – Halloween 2026!

    Hello friends! It’s August and that means it’s time to start Fall crafting! In crafty land, Halloween starts in August. I think someone coined the term Augtober! And I’m for it! One of my favorite Halloween releases every year is from Pretty Pink Posh – it never disappoints. We have had a streak of 8 days over 100 degrees so I am yearning for a cool breeze and sweater weather! Hee hee. I know some of you are Fall people too! Today is release day for the Halloween 2026 collection from PPP. I am sharing two cards today and then I’ll share another one on Instagram next week in the giant Instagram Hop! Yeah!

    CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE NEW PPP RELEASE!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR MY PROJECTS!

    My first card is classic Halloween – pumpkins and ghosties! This card features the brand new Pumpkin Face dies and the brand new Mini Ghosts stamp set – among other wonderful supplies!! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with graphic diagonal stripes and then lots of color and cute elements…

    This card has a lot of fun parts! I started by ink blending the background with a pretty teal ink – orange and teal look soooo good together! I then die cut out that big pumpkin and ink blended that too. I die cut the fence, the leaves and the spider web and set those aside…

    Next I stamped and die cut out those sweet little ghosties! I used Copic Markers to color them and then added some glitter glue to them… They are so tiny and cute!

    I assembled all the pieces onto the card using foam squares for dimension. I added white paint splatters and some orange hears for good measure. I like the graphic look of the stripes behind all that color! This card is very cheerful!!

    My second card for today uses the new Halloween supplies to make a FALL card! Complete with a yummy caramel apple and some fall foliage. This card features the brand new Halloween Apple Dies, the brand new Halloween Banner Greetings, and the brand new Pinking Ovals. My finished card is a cream A2 card base, layered with kraft and then more cream to feature that delish apple. I do really love kraft and red together, don’t you!?

    I started this card by die cutting that pretty argyle background from kraft cardstock. Then I splattered on some gold ink and wrapped it with a strip of red gingham! I die cut the apple and the leaves and ink blended everything…. Those new Pinking Ovals dies are sooooo perfect! I am going to use those a lot! For the sentiment I used the newest addition to the Banner Greetings suite…
