Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a sketch challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop.
I pulled out the pretty All That You Are stamp set – which coordinates with the Frosted Bouquet Framelits! Remember that die set carried over from the 2018 Holiday Catalog? Take a look-see:
Good morning! Happy beginning-of-a-short-week! And almost-Thanksgiving! Soon after this post goes live, I’ll be on my way to Huntsville for a meeting or two today and tomorrow. Then home to start cooking for T-day! I have deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and a couple of desserts on my to-do list. And we’re going to be smoking the turkey! Fingers crossed on that one!
If you were able to join me last night for my FB live, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis on YouTube!
My card looks more complicated than it was – which is awesome, right? Thanks to the pretty Toil & Trouble DSP, Woodland TIEF (and a little bleach), a few leaves from the Seasonal Layers Framelits and some sentiments from Pleasant Pheasants – all the tools were there. Take a look-see:
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! This is another installment of the Joint Blog Hop between the Happy Inkin’ Thursday and Happy Stampers Blog Hop ladies! I hope you really enjoy all the inspiration you can get from our talented folks!
I pulled out some Festive Farmhouse DSP and the Peaceful Poinsettia bundle to work with our sketch AND color scheme! Take a look-see:

I pulled out the pretty host-exclusive stamp set called Warm Hearted and added some leafy elements. Take a look-see:
Hey guys – happy Hawwmp Day! 🙂
Two days to go before our Big Retreat! I’m really excited and looking forward to the weekend! Be watching – I’m quite sure I’ll post pictures of our activities!
So – before we get to the card – some news to share:

Okay – on with the card for today! I made a Christmas card for you, using the new First Frost stamp set and the bundled Frosted Bouquet Framelits – over top of some gorgeous Frosted Floral Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
Back to my usual layering, collage-ifying self, heh? 😉
The layout for this one is from this week’s TGIF Challenge:
And the colors come from the FabFriday color challenge!
And the doily embellishment was inspired from the Inkspirations Designer’s Choice challenge!
I started by embossing a Whisper White panel in the Subtle Dynamic TIEF and matting it on a Powder Pink panel for the card front.
Then I used the little die in the new Frosted Bouquet Framelits to cut a bunch of berry branches from Balmy Blue and Galvanized Metallic Paper, which I adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Over those, I popped a panel of Frosted Floral Specialty DSP (matted on Powder Pink) with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I made a two-ended banner from Galvanized Metallic Paper with the Banner Triple Punch and adhered it with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered a Pearlized Doily over top.
I inked up the thistle image from First Frost – using my Highland Heather and Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write Markers. I made three of them and cut them with the matching die in Frosted Bouquet.
I also stamped a few flowers in Powder Pink and cut them with THEIR matching dies. I adhered a few of them with Liquid Glue, adding in a few more Galvanized Paper berries. For the final – smallest! – flower, I added a couple of Dimensionals on the back and used them to wind some Silver Metallic Thread – then popped it over the other flowers.
The sentiment, a wooden element from the Farmhouse Elements – was colored with my Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend. Then I spritzed it with some Frost White Shimmer Paper (dissolved in some rubbing alcohol in a Stampin’ Spritzer). That darkened it up – almost to Gorgeous Grape! I adhere it with a little Liquid Glue.
I added a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a First Frost sentiment in Highland Heather on a Whisper White panel. Then I added some berries in Balmy Blue – I stamped it twice without re-inking.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Powder Pink mat and into my Highland Heather card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got some more Balmy Blue berries and a couple of Highland Heather and Tranquil Tide thistles on the front…
…and I added a little more of the Frosted Floral Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.
El Voila! Whew – back in my not-CAS wheelhouse! And I love the soft colors and beautiful florals in this First Frost bundle and coordinating Frosted Floral Specialty DSP! I hope you like!

So. It’s tax time at the Deatherage household.
Which means…it sucks.
Yes – we do our taxes in October. Have for…ever? Its just how we roll.
Anywho – it sucks.
Wayne and I get all stressed out until it’s done.
Finn – in a fit of solidarity – gets stressed out, too.
I mean…he can barely sleep.
It’s really pretty hard to watch.
I know he’s anxious for tax time to be over for another year so he can get some rest.
Poor puppy…
