Happy October 1st!! Let all the witchy Halloween f Happy October 1st!! Let all the witchy Halloween fall-ish fun begin! 🖤 It’s time to dress for the occasion…I thrifted a sweatshirt and t-shirt then combined it with some @tim_holtz Creepy Clippings fabric to make an even better “quilted” witchy sweatshirt!! And by quilted, I mean that in the very loose sense of the word. 😉 I just pre-washed all of the pieces, cut the t-shirt, added the fabric behind and messy stitched it on to the sweatshirt! The t-shirt happened to have that clipping looking saying on the front, so I stitched around that too..then, Viola! The coziest Halloween sweatshirt I ever did see! I love it..and how perfect was that fabric I used from @freespiritfabrics ??!? Let the witchy festivities begin! 🧙‍♀️🦉🖤 #timholtz #freespiritfabrics #vintagelove #witchyhalloween

Happy Monday, friends! 🍂 I have a post on my blog Happy Monday, friends! 🍂 I have a post on my blog today featuring a card and tag that I created using the @simonsaysstamp Pepperberry Bundles Embossing Folder and die set. I just can not get over how detailed this set is, the embossing is so crisp and beautiful, perfect for all sorts of fall makes. 🌿 I used Distress Ink pads to color the pepperberry bundles then blended the colors using a blending brush. Then, I cut out a few of the pepperberries to embellish a set of tags. I had so much fun creating these, they give such a warm fall feeling! I hope you can stop by to get a closer look!

To finish each, I tied ribbons and another inky tag to them for signing. A classic for sure and fit for even the smallest of presents.

Happy Friday, friends! 🍁 well, we’ve made it throu Happy Friday, friends! 🍁 well, we’ve made it through another week..and that means, another week closer to fall! I am looking forward to some cooler days and all the beautiful colors that the season brings! Here are some fall tags to get you into that fall mood. I used the Tim Holtz Leaf Prints stamp set and recently released matching wafer dies (exclusively from @simonsaysstamp ) to create them, I stamped the leaves onto watercolor paper, then using the die set, cut out the leaves. I then cut out the backgrounds using a Key Fob Tag set around the background, I cut an additional key fob background then added the cut out leaf back into the cut out section using some foam adhesive. I set an eyelet at the top of each tag and added some inky ribbons. I added a phrase to a couple and trimmed them into a banner strip, then attached them to the tags. I just love how they turned out! Be sure to check out the entire new release of dies made to match more of the Tim Holtz stamp sets, they make creating so much fun! 🍁🍃 #timholtz #simonsaysstamp #ssshalloweenth
