The rabbit, clay pot, and daffodils were stamped with Stampin' Up inks onto SVG shapes cut with my Cricut Joy and layered on the Distress Oxide Ink background. The SVG cut files are available for purchase for these sets.

I included images from <a href="https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/mallard-ducks-clear-stamp.html">Mallard Ducks</a>, <a href="https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/island-lake-clear-stamp.html">Isle of Big Bay Lake</a>, Simple Sentiments (retired), and Tiny Norway Pine (retired). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This A2 design started out with a white panel of cardstock with a Distress Oxide blended background. I then stamped the trees onto the panel and attached an SVG cut duck. All inks on the trees and duck are by Altenew.

I am never able to start my day without a heavily creamed cup of steaming coffee. It always gets the day off to a good start and sets the tone for tackling the challenges of the day!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today for the first time, I stamped the coffee cup and saucer twice. Once in reds and once in yellows. I then trimmed the yellow cup off of its saucer and glued it to the top of the red cup and saucer. I like the contrast of color and hope you do, too! The cup and saucer, as well as the rosebud, stem, and leaves were stamped on cut SVG files also available at Kitchen Sink Stamps. They were then arranged and glued on the speckled pink cardfront. All inks are by Altenew except for the Versafine Clair Pinecone sentiment.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNdYfy83SpnZQrP8wZjPmIo8zpgX1G4lrbDRAuGb95eFbbAM4phN5SMyQI8vtfzkmpiA7B8gWp-xhpbtmUyfoy6BInwJNb5WFGlGTYfqPI3MoTTs2nqEMTouQZL4ZVADxeSp3Pr2Ktogn8O_zHQCSlh5HfNc5botDLhYgm68_kNDEj332W8wm_pFLHqu9U/s616/LAM%20One%20Sip%20KSS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The 3-D embossed tree ring background is by Sizzix. The heart-shaped die is by Spellbinders.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The moose and the birch trees were stamped on SVG cut files also available from Kitchen Sink Stamps for use with your electronic cutting device.

This delightful little set has three different light bulbs and two styles of sockets, as well as a wire stamp which you can use to connect the lights into a string. There are also several tiny one layer light bulbs. What a bargain for $10.50!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design, I have used the small round bulb and straight socket for the first card and the large bulb and slanted socket for the second! Black cording was used for the wire, framing, and bow. The pine sprigs and sentiments are from <a href="https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/christmas-poinsettia-stamp.html">Christmas Poinsettia</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For both of these 5 x 7 inch holiday cards, I stamped images from <a href="https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/snowy-pine-tree-clear-layer.html">Snowy Pine Trees</a> on a white panel and laid a designer paper oval frame cut from a holiday pad from the Paper Studio over them before adding the sockets and light bulbs. I fussy cut the bulbs and sockets. After gluing them down, I added the black cording and sentiments.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This first card has been entered in the following challenges this week:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.stampingsensations.uk/2023/11/november-challenge.html">Stamping Sensations - November Challenge - Get Ready for Christmas</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://peaceonearthchristmas.blogspot.com/2023/11/peace-on-earth-christmas-challenge-52.html">Peace on Earth - Christmas Challenge #52</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2023/11/week-756.html">Allsorts Challenge - Week #756 - Colors of Winter/Anything Goes</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.asyouseeitchallenge.com/2023/11/312.html">As You See It - Challenge #312 - The Most Wonderful Time - Christmas</a> - The festive holiday lights are part of what make this season so magical to me.

Because of having to do much of my crafting away from my craft space due to life circumstances, dies are becoming more and more my go-to card making technique. I can take boxes of my die cut pieces and glue and piece to my hearts content with nothing but a bottle of glue, card fronts, embossed panels, and sentiment tags!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I made two of these this morning: one for Mother Mark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge #794 at Splitcoaststampers and one for a friend who is having a knee replacement today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Is it just in Texas, or is it everywhere that shoulder and knee replacements are now day surgery?

She is my faithful partner in providing care for our aging parents. Without her help, I could not do the do all the things that must be done! What a blessing she is to our lives!! Thank you, Liz!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I again have created a 5 x 7 design using All Aflutter and added a beautiful sentiment from Whole Family. I wanted something beautiful and delicate so I created this framed vellum shadow box by layering 4 stitched die cut rectangles and adding the vellum between the top two layers. The SVG cut flowers and butterfly were glued to the back of the bottom frame. I love how it turned out and think this will also make a stunning sympathy card. I will be making several of these for my sympathy stash.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Although All Aflutter is sold out, you can create this design with <a href="https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/butterflies-clear-layered.html">Butterflies</a> and many of the other KSS flowers and sentiments.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
