Autumn Leaves-Fun Fact Friday!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fact Friday, Thank You / September 27, 2024

Did you know that a study in the Journal of Aging Research found that babies born during the autumn months are more likely to live to 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Who knew. Their study found that 30% of US centenarians born during 1810-1895 were born in the autumn months. I am not sure how accurate these statistics are for today, but it is interesting. While there is not an official study, I believe that people born in the spring tend to have a sunny disposition. Fun Fact: I was born in April. LOL

Today’s card celebrates all those beautiful people born in the fall. Hope you have a blessed weekened!

Even though my birthday is not in the fall, I do love the fall season. The changing of leaves, the cooler weather, those crisp cool night by the fireplace. There is just something comfortable and cozy about fall. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

The Beauty of Autumn!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / November 22, 2023

Wow, it is so hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am blessed to be able to spend some quality time with my daughter. Seems like only yesterday that she was still in high school and now she is living on her own in Chicago, so I cherish all her visits.

For today’s card I created a strip of designer series paper using the leaves from the Autumn Leaves bundle. I used the larger leaf and stamped in Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink. I stamped the smaller leaves with Cajun Craze ink and used the coordinating dies to crop and attach them to the greeting.

The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and cropped with the frame from the Autumn Leaves Bundle. The dots from the Layering Leaves stamp set and are stamped with Cajun Craze ink. I attached the leaves and the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope this card puts a smile on your face and that your Thanksgiving is filled with lots of turkey, laughter, and the love of family. Happy Stamping!

Fruitful Blessings-Favorite Things Friday!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Favorite Things Friday / November 17, 2023

This time of year in my neighborhood not only are the leaves falling but also the acorns and our Fruitful Blessings Bundle is the perfect set to showcase fall. I began with an Early Espresso card base. I stamped the single leaves with Crumb Cake ink onto a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and added it to the card front.

The leaves and the acorns were all colored with our Watercolor Pencils. I used a Blender Pen to soften the lines and attach them to a panel of Very Vanilla and Early Espresso with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and cropped with the die from Autumn Leaves Bundle, another great bundle for the fall.

Earthen Textures-A Harvest of Blessings!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Thank You / October 27, 2023

Wow, where on earth did October go. I know that it is a fun month, but it really has just flown by this year. I am well into the fall spirit, although the weather feels more like spring in St. Louis, but the fall leaves are changing and they are gorgeous.

Today thought I would share two cards using one of my favorite bundles from the annual 2023-2024 catalog, Earthen Textures. This sweet set really is so great for a variety of cards. Happy Stamping!

I used some Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla cardstock to create my first card. I used the dies for the pots to crop them from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and added a Pecan Pie topper to the shorter pot. I also used some of the flowers from Layering Flowers to fill my pot. The Thank you is stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla and I attached it to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

My second cards was created using a Early Espresso card base, some Very Vanilla cardstock and some of the paper from that same paper pack, Earthen Elegance. This time I put my pots on the left and less flowers and more of the fall looking sprigs. I used Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow to give it a rich fall look. I love this sweet greeting and that is in the Pick of the Patch bundle from the holiday mini catalog. It really does give it a harvesty-fall look.
