A Happy and safe Halloween to all!

PTI Blog Hop October '18


It's the 25th of the month and that means PTI's Blog Hop
We have this Autumn beauty to inspire us this month,
and be warned, this post is photo heavy! Hope you have a cuppa handy!


So much to choose from in our inspiration this month! 
And so many ideas came to me, I decided to do, well, just about
all of them!

I couldn't wait to play with Betsy's Dashing Through the Snow Pick-up!
She added the picket fence to one of her posts, and I know Marcia Hill did one similar.
Once you do one, the rest come easy, and assembly line was a breeze!
  I found the jelly pumpkins at Home Goods, but couldn't bear putting them 
in the truck beds without the bags!
Warning No. 2: Be sure to buy enough for snacking!


Each of the 6 pickups get a notecard and matching envelope. The notecard is stamped 
with BB: Gingham, and Smoky Shadow ink, and the medallion with versa mark, 
white embossed and colored with pencil, rather like the chalkboard in the 
photo. All the products I used are listed below. 


Do you have a favorite? Kinda partial to the Ocean Tides. Reminds me of my mom's old pickup.



Inside the notecard.


Made my square envelopes with an oldie pattern pack PTI used to sell called, 
Autumn Abundance. I love making my own envelopes, and it's so easy with 
a We R Memory Keepers Punch Board (Amazon).


My little trucks lined up and ready to give to the grandkids!


Play along all day on the PTI blog. You're sure to get a truck load of inspiration!

Poppystamps Challenge Reminder


Hi there, Poppy Peeps! This is a reminder that there's a challenge going on
at Poppystamps. 
Fall and Scary Things!
Check it out and play for a chance to win a 25. gift certificate to the store!

I made some treat bags for inspiration. You know Halloween is right 
around the corner!


I loved Halloween Costume Cats ever since their release last year. So darn cute! 
Paired them up with a die from this year, Leafy Wreath Collage.


Each of my tags got a different colored tag behind the cutout (and to write on), and a 
clothespin covered in washi.


Check out the Poppystamps blog to see exactly how I made them.



And remember, we have a Blog Blitz going on. Comment for a chance to win!

White Pumpkin


Hi and welcome to a new challenge at the Card Concept!
Rustic Nuetrals

Just look at this inspiration photo


Need some more inspiration? How about this card using Poppy Stamps' Pumpkin Collage.


 The die cut sentiment is also from Poppy Stamps and is called Happy Halloween Signs.
the sprig is Papertrey's and is a die cut from Ivy & Bloom. 
I sponged it a bit with PTI's Ocean Tides.
As you know, the Card Concept has several styles to choose from when designing a card.
I'd call this one, Clean and Layered.


Can't wait to see your creation!

PapertreyInk September 2015 Blog Hop


September 25th is blog hop time at PTI,
and this month Nichole gave us this inspiration:


Autumn holds promise of holidays, family and
hopefully cool weather!

Because I send out Halloween and Thanksgiving cards, 
Nichole's timely inspiration gave me the chance to do 4 cards celebrating fall.
Hope you like them!

All stamps: PTI


Do you recognize the sets I used?
Trying to keep a one layer for easy mailing.


Got a couple of birthdays in October. 


The chalkboard technique has endless possibilities & is so much fun to
combine sets, and sentiments.


The only one with enamel dots, might have to deliver this in person.


and the 4th card with the chalkboard technique,


for a dear friend,


All the different technique touches learned by watching Betsy's MIM video, below:

Happy hopping, 
can't wait to see all the beautiful card art!
