Seldom do I ever get rid of a thing from my crafty stash - these wonderful products are just as fresh as they were when they were introduced by my friend over at Pigment Craft Co. I was delighted to see her products are available over at Scrapbook.com! Today I've paired her Modern Poinsettia with a new stencil from ASD: Pureland Fan and another Pinkfresh Studio ...
Then it dawned on me that Spellbinder used the same design as ASD for
one of their embossing folders [Fan Motif: Club November '22] ... and another card was born!
That embossing is SO close to fitting over the top of the stenciling, but not quite.
I stamped another bouquet of Poinsettias but fussy-cut just the leaves
and berries for this little bouquet with the addition of
PCC Dashing Sentiments stamps and dies.
As I was stamping and arranging these next two cards, I saw that Just us Girls is looking for Pumpkins! I have made a few - using Pigment Craft Co.: Pumpkin Patch!
First in these beautiful greens from The Stamp Market, framed by the Delightful Brackets from PTI, and backed by the houndstooth of the Baskervilles? Nah - it's an oldie from MFT! Here it is one more time in shades of Turmeric and Sea Grass inks from Pigment Craft Co. and the perfect sentiment from PTI.
Which one will make it to their gallery? You'll have to check - and while you're there, why not play too!?
I'm doing my best to whittle down the box of patterned paper in my stash.
This gorgeous new plaid is one from a prize I won from the sweet ladies at
Double D! You'll be seeing a lot of them! I used PTI's Elegant Edges: Wheat Stalks to add a pretty little spot to rest that pumpkin.
Okay, last of all, I reached for those oldish pink and orange papers from PTI to bring Pigment Craft Co.'s gorgeous Falling Leaves to life - you'll grant me artistic license, right? The new here is that wonderful sentiment from ASD in her gorgeous Spring Garden set.
Isn't that the truth? October is Mental Health Month and I really make an effort to remind myself of the many reasons I have to smile ... you, my friends, are very close to the top of the list! Thank you for hanging out with me again today!

ReplyDeleteWowza, you've been busy! They're all amazing, but those green pumpkins....LOVE them! The stenciling on the first one is pretty daggone awesome too!
ReplyDeleteDang girl you are a card making machine, and they are FABULOUS. The color combos are fantastic too. It’s such a pleasure getting your cards in my email 😊. BTW thanks for the JUGS plug and playing along! We do love seeing your cards in our gallery!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to start, these are amazing Michele, the navy combo makes my heart flutter and then the last card with the mix of colour and patterns, WOW!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Michele, each and every one! I adore the first one to bits and I think Ivana would too. The colors are fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your pretty green pumpkins with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW, WOW!! Did the laundry even get done this week or did you just stamp?? If I was on a roll like this I would have forgotten about the laundry for sure!! These are all absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele, but my favorite has to be the 1st card...those colors are FABULOUS!! Love, love, LOVE it!! Those pumpkins are tugging at me too though and I love that PTI sentiment...a perfect fit! Wonderful post my friend...didn't want it to end!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a treat and feast for the eyes today. Glorious work. You have some of the prettiest colors in your stash and you definitely know how to use them. I don't get rid of much either, but I don't have near thenumber of pretty products that you do. Nor the creative brain to pull these together. I'm in awe yet again by your creativity! Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteThe colors on all of these are so striking Michele! What gorgeous creations, every one of them. I love the patterns and colors on the last card with the leaves. So delightfully fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are a card making machine, Michele. Each of these cards is fabulous. I adore the colors you've used. A lot of jaw dropping happening here.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your choice of deep, rich colors. Stunning cards. As an aside, a Pigment Craft Co item just happened to jump into my cart yesterday while ordering that elegant frame die. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy head is spinning with all of these fabulous and gorgeous cards!!! The colors are outstanding! The green pumpkin card stands out to me because I am into nontraditional colors this fall and your green pumpkin and acorns are beauties! So happy you shared with us at Just Us Girls!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been very productive, Michele, and I get it. Once the ideas begin to flow there's no stopping them. Your wonderful poinsettia cards are dark and moody and really modern. I guess I could say the same for the pumpkin cards in their non-traditional colors. My daughter prefers those colors for her pumpkins. Thanks for sharing one of them at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sentiment and that pink and orange card gave me a reason today.
Looks like you've been having lots of fun, Michele! What a wonderful variety of colors and styles! I especially love the embossed navy background and the green pumpkin cards, but all at fantastic, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous collection of cards and well done for using some of that patterned paper. What a coincidence re that stencil and embossing folder. I think I can identify a favourite amongst this collection. It has to be the first one. Simply stunning xx
ReplyDeleteA bountiful array of cards! You're on such a roll, Michele--I can't keep up with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gaggle of great cards, Michele! Each is unique and beautiful
ReplyDeleteWow this post is like going to a fall festival - glorious colors!
ReplyDeleteA collection of beautiful cards using some stunning colour combos!
ReplyDeleteGosh, these cards are so great! I love making oldies look like newbies, and you've done a fantastic job of that. I have a very similar stencil and embossing folder. I just love the look with the colors you used. I'd better get a move on if I'm going to see all the rest of your cards before I have to run off again. What fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing group of autumn colors. The rich colors and patterns on the first card are stunning but I like the images just as well with the deep blue background. Then so many fun pumpkins! And I adore the way you added pink and orange patterns to the branch on the last card.
