Stampin' Acorns (& Holiday House Nov 11 & 12!)

Hm, can I pull a triple again this month?  Let's try!  At Retro Rubber #195, we're having an ombre challenge!  We have this lovely sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #582, and we want to see Thanksgiving at SU Only #314!
This was a tough one!  I finally settled on my Acorny Thank You from 2015 for the stamp set, after a search for Thanksgiving appropriate ombre paper turned up crickets, lol.  So I tried my hand at making my own for the acorn background!  I embossed a Vanilla panel with the Timber EF, and then got started with a blending brush and my Early Espresso ink.  I think it kind of worked - need more practice!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - see you there!

With perfect timing for the day, Can You Handle the Pressure has a twist of pumpkins this round!  How can I resist?
I've been pulling out my old Pretty Pumpkins set a lot this year, lol, but the one element I haven't been using is the fabulous filigree pumpkin in the dies - it's over the top!  Today is the day, lol, and I have THREE of these beauties over my old Chevron EF background!  I went a little wild with my colors, but I do think they work pretty well!

So fun - In{k}spire Me #489 has an Autumn/Halloween challenge for us this round!
I couldn't (and didn't!) resist using some of my Rings of Love DSP for this one - I have quite a few packs of this still leftover from Sale-A-Bration, lol.  Slowly but surely getting there!  Anyway, this sheet with the colorful leaves and acorns is one of my favorite Fall sheets ever!  I did a loving sentiment on one of the embossed and diecut wood rounds, and fussy cut a few stamped acorns for good measure!  I love that the stamped acorns double as toadstool caps, too - had to show THAT on the envelope, lol.

Leaf Fall (& Pumpkin Club Sep 24!)

Excellent - Can You Handle the Pressure is back with a new twist - FALL!  Great timing, lol.
This is my chance to use my brand new EF called Leaf Fall - such a pretty pattern, and it's kind of lost in the Holiday Catalog, so make sure you go take a look for it!  I used mine to do some corner texture on Crumb Cake, which I floated over a layer of Cajun Craze.  I added this pretty sentiment from Gathered Wheat, then a leaf from our old 2018 set, Vintage Leaves.  I colored a few of the embossed leaves with a water painter, just to add a tiny bit more movement.  Simple and pretty!

We're hitting our corners this week at Retro Rubber #191!  It'll be fun to add a Fall theme for our challenge at SU Only #310, too!
I couldn't resist pulling in my old Acorny Thank You from 2015 for this one - still such a cutie!  I love mixing and matching all the acorns and hats - I used to collect them in all colors as a kid and pretend they were little people, lol.  I think my Grandpa thought he was losing it one time - he found a little stash I had left out in the garden once that I had drawn little faces in sharpie on, lol.  Such a riot!  Anyway, I was having so much fun, I had to double up every acorn - we're going nuts!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects this round - meet you there!
Acorny Thank You Stamp Set (retired 2015); Very Vanilla & Cajun Craze CS; Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake & Sahara Sand Inks; Timber EF; Acorn Builder Punch; Rustic Metallic Dots; #RRCB191; #SUOC310.

We have a lovely Autumnal inspiration board for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #397!  This pretty sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #572 is perfect to go with it!
I couldn't help focusing on that gorgeous sunflower for this one - though I did flirt with the fox, lol.  In the end, I went back to my Painted Harvest set from 2020 - you just can't beat the sentiments in this one for Fall!  I decided to pull in some scraps of our now-retired Rings of Love DSP - this acorn sheet is SO pretty, and I did a little embossing with my newly-arrived Leaf Fall embossing folder - a little hard to see!  I'm really pleased with how it came out - this is still one of my favorite sunflowers!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this round - meet you there!

Tag, you're it this week at Retro Rubber #190!  It's a perfect fit with our diecuts theme at SU Only #309, too!
I knew I'd go with the awesome Tailor Made Tags to get myself started, and I chose this leafy sheet from my giant pack of Celebrate Everything DSP.  This led me to my Vintage Leaves set - still a favorite in the leaf department.  I finished it off with this thankful sentiment from Gather Together.  Love the bright updates to these sets!

Such cute kitty-corner layers at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #532 we have!  I KNOW I can make something just right for Thanksgiving for SU Only #288, too!
My tried and true Fall combo this year has been the still-stunning Beauty of the Earth DSP with our lovely Pretty Pumpkins bundle.  I turned our stampin' sketch sideways, picked my favorite remaining scrap of DSP, and then worked out my die-cut layered pumpkins.  Using Gold Foil let me bring in some of our Gilded Gems - yum!
I can't wait to see your projects, at BOTH challenges, meet you there!

Yum!  Fusion has a festive "pumpkin mugs" inspiration for us this week - so fun!
I totally knew I'd be pulling out my Pretty Pumpkins bundle for this one, but how about those colors??  They actually reminded me of the gorgeous gingham sheets in that pansy pack - let's go check!  And SCORE!  The greens in the Pansy Petals are just right for this inspiration pick, and there was even a stripey pattern to let me cheat a little on the sketch, lol.  I'm totally thrilled with how these fun colors came out on the pumpkin trio, too - so glam!

Autumn Pumpkin (& Christmas Cards Part 2 Oct 16!)

So excited - Addicted to CAS #207 has the perfect code word this week - "autumn!"
I turned right away to my Pretty Pumpkins set - I knew already I wanted to brighten up this particular pumpkin in Fall colors!  I ended up using sponge daubers to add a mix of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.  A couple Soft Succulent leaves was just the right finishing touch.  I snuck in a tiny strip of Harvest Meadow DSP - I'm really scraping the barrel on this pack!  I literally have no scrap wider than 3" left, lol.  I think we liked this one!  Such a fun challenge!
