 Although this Thanksgiving will look decidedly different from those in the past, the blessings of this year have indeed been bountiful! Thanks be to God!

For today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design I have created a Thanksgiving card for my son and his wife. They have recently moved to the country and see sights like this one just outside their windows (except for the mountains) everyday! We won't be together on that day, but hope to connect on Zoom!

To create this card I have chosen images from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets:

Grazing Horse
Grand View Mountains
Icy Pond
Birch Trees
Autumn Greetings

I am entering this card is CAKath's Falliday Fest Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

Shadow and No Line Stamping - The Project Bin

I have just returned from Northern Georgia when I attended the wedding of my oldest granddaughter in Cloudland Canyon State Park. What a remarkable place for an outdoor wedding. The beauty that I experienced there was the inspiration for today's card sponsored by The Project Bin.

I used their New Leaf autumn set paired with designer paper by Bo Bunny, dotted oval dies, and a jute bow. Below the card are photos of the view down into the canyon.

I shadow stamped the sentiment using Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie ink by Stampin' Up. I used no-line stamping on the pumpkin. It was stamped with Memento Dessert Sand and then watercolored with Stampin' Up reinkers in Marigold Morning, Really Rust, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lucky Limeade.

SCS Falliday Fest 2020 - Triple Fold Card

Today is opening day of Splitcoaststampers annual Falliday Fest! What better way to spend this time at home than having fun learning new crafting tricks and sharing with crafters who enjoy doing the same.

I have used images and SVG files from Kitchen Sink Stamps' new All Year Grapevine Wreath and Fall Chrysanthemums. The designer paper is Autumn Splendor by Simple Stories. The labels are Sizzix die cuts.

These are the color recipes I used to create these images
using Stampin' Up inks.

The sentiment was stamped with SU Chocolate Chip and the edges sponged with SU Really Rust.

I used Kitchen Sink Stamps for two other challenges over at Splitcoaststampers in the past few days that I haven't shared here yet. The first one was for the Featured Stamper Challenge on Sunday. It was based on this card by rdm and uses the KSS Guitar. The designer paper is World Map by Gartner Studio. The music sentiment was cut using Cricut Design Space while the journey is the destination is a Tim Holtz sticker from Small Talk.

This next card also used the All Year Grapevine Wreath and the Fall Chrysanthemums and was created for the Free4All Challenge. The designer paper is by BasicGrey.
