Falling of Leaves

Happy Friday friends!  This week's Layered Leaves TGIF Challenges Theme Challenge is perfect for the current season in the US.  Our leaves are all changing, and thanks to our first freeze, they are quickly falling as well!

Inspired by the colors of the theme image as well, I stamped the sprigs, twigs and berries from Ringed With Nature in Lost Lagoon, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso.  These colors are so warm and calming!  After stamping all of the images, I embossed the paper with the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder and distressed the edges a bit.

Some swirly, twirly Linen Thread was tucked behind the sentiment panel, along with some more leaves and branch die cuts from the Tree Rings Hybrid.  A few Pebbled Path In-Color Dots were the finishing touch.

Is it fall where you live as well or are you jumping in to spring?  I'm already dreaming of summer as the temperatures begin to drop here.  I am not a fan of the cold fall and winter months!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend full of some creative time in your favorite crafting space!

Happy Stamping!

Ringed with Colorful Nature

It's Friday and that means it's time for another TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!  It's also September 1st, which means fall is on its way.  I love the warmness of these colors and chose the beautiful flowers and foliage from Ringed with Nature for this challenge.

I stamped the floral and foliage images on a piece of Very Vanilla, creating my own DSP.  Don't you love it when you can do that?!?  I added a Tree Rings wooden round, along with a few fussy cut flowers and a few other bits and pieces of foliage.

The Timber 3D embossing folder added a bit more texture in the back ground, along with some of my favorite Linen Thread.  The Tinsel Gems added just the right amount of glitter to a card that leaves me feeling warm and cozy.  The perfect way to let someone know you are thinking about them!

I hope you'll play along with us this week.  We always love to see your creative inspiration at work!

Happy Stamping!

From Our Home To Yours ~ Merry Monday Montage

Hello stampers and happy Monday! We've got a great hop in store for you today, so make sure you don't miss out on a single stop along the way!

I'm on to my next Merry Monday card of the season, this time pairing up Ringed With Nature and the soon-to-be-available Framed & Festive Stamp sets.

I absolutely LOVE the fonts in the Framed & Festive stamp set and thought this particular "From our home to yours" sentiment would be perfect with the cute little house from Ringed With Nature.  

After choosing a piece of Soft Succulent Fitting Florets DSP, I decided to go with a Soft Succulent house with a Soft Suede roof.  And since I was going for a Christmas card, I added a bright Real Red flower, along with a few Evening Evergreen, Parakeet Party and Crumb Cake twigs and sprigs...all fussy cut, of course!

All of these images were layered on top of a tree ring and topped with, you guessed it, a fussy cut sentiment.  A little Linen Thread, a few 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds and a little Evening Evergreen splatter completed the card.

Thanks for hopping along with us today!

Happy Stamping!

Ringed with Thoughtfulness

It's time for an all new sketch challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  I hope you'll all join along in the fun!

I was super short on time, so I was grateful for a clean and simple sketch.

I immediately thought of the tree ring from Ringed with Nature stamp set when I saw this sketch.  I stamped a few of the flowers in some festive fall shades of Merry Merlot, So Saffron, Old Olive and Cajun Craze, fussy cutting each flower. 

The So Saffron Gingham Cottage DSP seemed like a fitting background.  I love this DSP and have been using it on nearly every card I make right now! I also used Very Vanilla to stamp on rather than Basic White.  Very Vanilla always has a bit more of a fall feel to me...how about you?

A few Amber Gems from the Leave Label & Amber Gem Pack and a bit of Linen Thread were the final fall touches to this simple Thinking of You greeting.

Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!
