I am excited to share with you three cards I created using the new Splendid Thoughts bundle featured in the July-December 2022 mini catalog.

Today’s card is a mix of fall leaves and flowers using the Fond of Autumn Bundle featured in the July – December mini catalog. I also used some of the seasonal sequins to add a finishing touch of a little bling.

I choose a Daffodil Delight card base and added some Daffodil Delight checked paper from the Gingham Cottage Designer Series paper pack. I used the Stampin’ Blend markers to add a some color.
The flowers are Highland Heather, the small leaves Old Olive and the berries Daffodil Delight. I colored the brown leaves first watercolor pencils and used our regular blender pens to highlight the edges.

Wedding anniversaries can be such a special time to celebrate memories, no matter how old you get. When I got married many years ago, June was the most popular month to get married. Did you know that for the past four years, the most popular wedding month has been in October? Who knew I was a trend setter! My anniversary is actually October 22nd. According to our Real Weddings Study, 35% of all weddings take place during the fall, followed closely by summer (29%). Who knew?
Well, later this month my older sister is celebrating her wedding anniversary and so I am sharing her card with you today. She is not a blog follower, so chances are this will not be a spoiler alert. LOL! I used the Fond of Autumn stamp set and while it is a fall set, it is very versatile and as you can see this looks a bit more springy than fall. Love it!!

My card today was created using our Petal Pink cardstock. I cut a second layer of Petal Pink and used the scoring tool to create some line at the top and bottom of the panel. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blend Markers and then added a bit of bling to the center of each flower. The Happy Anniversary sentiment if from Celebrating you and is stamped with Memento Black ink.
Happy Anniversary to all you lovely couples who were married in the fall!

I used Night of Navy cardstock to cut the floral images from the dies included in the Cottage Rose Bundle. The greeting is stamped with Night of Navy ink. I did not have any Night of Navy ribbon on hand, so I used a narrow strip of Night of Navy cardstock as a substitute.

I decided to create another card using two of the flowers from yesterday’s watercolor pencil Make It Monday tutorial.CLICK HERE if you missed that video. I combined the larger rose and the smaller flower to create a birthday bouquet. The happy birthday greeting is from the same bundle and I used our Paper Snips to create a banner look.
