Many Thanks

Without fail, every Autumn I find myself pulling out this one particular stamp set from my stash.  It's an old Papertrey Ink set called Pumpkin Patch, and if you were to look back at my blog; I'd guess I've used this stamp set at least once each year since I first purchased it in 2015.  It's always nice to pull things out of our stash and use them again.

I used black cardstock layered with green cardstock, and then I used a piece of cream cardstock along with a FUN layered pumpkin stencil to create my Fall background.  I used Pumpkin, Marmalade, and Mowed Grass Tim Holtz inks to rub on the background using this cool stencil.  I used a length of Moss & Cream Gingham Ribbon and a length of Black & White Bold Check Gingham Ribbon on my card.

The sentiment circle was cut using a die-cut from Alinacutle.  In the center, I cut another circle using an Amazing Grace Hemstitch Cirlce Die.  On that, I stamped my sentiment (Many Thanks) and the cute pumpkins using the Papertrey Ink set called Pumpkin Patch.  It's really a simple card, but I like how it turned out; and I was happy to use this stamp set once again.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  I'm always so happy to have you stop by and say hello.  I appreciate every visit, every comment, and all the wonderful friendships God has given me through art and social media.  I praise God for you, and please know that He loves you very much.

I'm playing along here:

Stencil Fun Challenge - September: Anything Goes w/a Stencil: Optional Fall Frenzy - I used a layered pumpkin stencil for this fun Autumn card.

Shopping Our Stash - Challenge #531 - I used a very old stamp set from my stash.  It's a 2015 Papertrey Ink set called Pumpkin Patch.

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Die and Why - My favourite type of die-cut to use is almost always a sentiment die.  This can be either a banner, a circle or another shape; but we all need to showcase our sentiments and that's why a sentiment die is my favorite.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "Make Your Own Background" - I made my background by using a layered pumpkin stencil and some Tim Holtz inks.

Dar & Diane's Double D Challenge Blog - Fall Leaves - My leaves are small - just on the stencilled background and the little stems on my pumpkins.  I was really drawn to the orange and yellow tones with touches of green.  That always says Autumn to me.

TIME OUT Challenge Blog - Challenge #273 - Inspired By Words - This card really captures so much of what I love about Autumn.

Stay creative this Autumn, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen
