Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all!! Hope your week is going well! If nothing else – it’s half way over!!
And speaking of…day after tomorrow….2017 Holiday Catalog goes LIVE!! Whoo-Hoo!! I can hardly wait for you guys to be able to shop and gather up all the wonderful Fall and Halloween and Christmas and New Year’s goodies!!
Since that’s happening on Friday – that means today and tomorrow are the last days to get a Catalog Share – or to get signed up for one of my Painted Autumn Bundles! So…tarry not!
Now – for today, I decided to pull out an Annual Catalog stamp set – the Falling Flowers set – and its matching die set, the Mayflowers Framelits. When I added a die cut sentiment from the Lovely Words Thinlits….take a look-see:
This one played along with three challenges today. The first, from Hand Stamped Sentiments, inspired my layout
Next up – a favorite kind of challenge for me, from the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I went right across the bottom row!
Finally, my clean and simple color scheme is from the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.
This was an easy card, y’all!
I started with a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and stamped it all over in Whisper White Craft Ink with the flourish image from the Falling Flowers stamp set. Then I made some faux stitches with my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker and Fast Fuse’d it on a Whisper White mat.
My art work is the large flower die in the Mayflowers Framelits. I cut it out twice – once in Whisper White and once in Crumb Cake. I held on to the cut-out pieces from the Crumb Cake flower.
To make the art, I cut the largest circle Stitched Shapes Framelit in Crumb Cake and adhered the Whisper White Mayflowers die cut to it with Liquid Glue. Then I added the Crumb Cake cutouts into the negative spaces with little dabs of Liquid Glue.
I popped the flower-decorated circle over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I cut some leaves and a berry from Whisper White with the Mayflowers dies and adhered them with Liquid Glue, tucking them under the raised-up circle.
Next up is a short length of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon, adhered with a little Liquid Glue.
My sentiment is cut with the Lovely Words Thinlits in Whisper White and Crumb Cake. I did one in Whisper White and two in Crumb Cake and adhered them in a stack. Just a hint – you do have to carefully snip the sentiment out of the panel. Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel finished off the card front.
On the inside I started with a Whisper White panel and adhered the Crumb Cake Mayflowers die cut to it with Liquid Glue. I let it spill off the edge and snipped the excess with my Paper Snips. Then I added some more faux stitches with my Crumb Cake Marker.
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Whisper White mat and into my Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a couple of Crumb Cake flowers from the Falling Flowers stamp set on the front…
…and I added the Falling Flowers flourish in Crumb Cake on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I like how the pops of white from the Falling Flowers flourishes and the Mayflowers Framelits die cuts look on the Crumb Cake, don’t you? And the rough textured ribbon with a touch of Rhinestone bling! Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix
A couple days ago, first thing in the morning, I was sitting in the living room in my chair watching some television and having my morning cup of coffee. Wayne was still in bed.
I kept hearing some odd sounds from behind my chair, but it was behind me and dark in the living room.
I’d call Finn and get no response.
I figured he was in the entryway, sleeping. He does that – goes back to bed after going out the first time.
When it was finally time to get up and dress and feed, I discovered him…
Just chillin’, Mom. With my frisbee.
Now – to be honest, the furniture is sort of…discouraged. But…look how cute he is! Who could say anything about that – to that face?!?

He is so comical! Your card colors match your furniture!! I like what you did here…may have to give it a try. Have a great day.
Yep – he’s a card!! Thanks much, Karen – and do give it a try!! 🙂
What a pretty card! I love the Crumb Cake and white color scheme, great layout too! Finn is too funny…yep, just chilling on the chair like it’s nothing. 😉
Exactly. Chair? What chair? Thanks much, Amy! 🙂
Love the Crumb Cake and White, so clean and crisp! Perfect for the sketch, too! Your focal flower and sentiment really pop off the page!
Thanks, Jari! I like the white/crumb cake combo myself! Glad the CAS-ual Friday challenge used the color scheme! 🙂
Mary, I haven’t used the Falling Flowers set for a while. I love your card and the simple/elegant colors and plan to make it soon! – Ellie
Have fun – I hadn’t used it for a while, either!! Thanks much, Ellie! 🙂
I love this! I don’t know how you do three challenges. I have enough trouble trying to do just one! Love the color scheme, so simple and elegant. Great card.
Yeah, chair? what chair? that is the look on his face, and you are right. How could you say anything to that face? What a cutie. I love him and I’ve never met him!
Sometimes it all just works – I missed the deadline for the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, though! Thanks much. And – any time you want to come down and visit and meet him…you are welcome! 🙂
Oh, I like! Great combination and arrangement of the colors. That takes time to put those pieces back in the flower but it makes it stand out! Finn is too smart– he knew not to answer when you called him!
Thanks – I thought it needed the negative spaces back inside! And yes – he was comfy and keeping a very low profile! Thanks, Susan! 🙂
Wow! You really got your shabby chic on with this card! I love the crisp white with the crumb cake – well done! Yep, the no furniture rule doesn’t always hold up at our house either😂 He is just so stinkin’ cute!
And I’m pretty sure he knows it very well! Thanks so much, Elisha – glad that you liked my card! 🙂
that is a gorgeous card! I love how you’ve highlighted the word hugs with a burlap ribbon, so cool. Thanks for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays.
Thank you very much, Tasha – appreciate you stopping by to leave a comment! 🙂
Great use of thinlits and take on our sketch! I love the subtle monochromatic theme. Thanks for joining us Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Thanks so much, Genevieve! Appreciate you stopping by to leave a comment! 🙂
Very pretty! Love that you decorated the inside with the coordinating flower. Thanks for sharing with everyone over at the Casual Fridays Challenge.
Thanks very much, Marcia – appreciate you stopping by to leave a comment! 🙂
