Gratitude and Feasting - Kitchen Sink Stamps

 I pulled together a couple of Thanksgiving cards to share with you this week as my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored designs! One is an outdoor scene with the turkey, leaves, acorns, and pumpkins stamped on SVG cut files.

He's about to find out!

Happy Haunting - Kitchen Sink Stamps

I just added Halloween candy to my shopping list as I am beginning to see ghosts and goblins and pumpkins appearing in the yards of my neighborhood.

The SVG files are available at Kitchen Sink Stamps to match the images I have used on this card.

Stamp sets included in this design come from the following sets:

Graveyard Raven

Birch Trees

Activate: Feast Mode - KSS

 I have been in the kitchen for over a week trying out new recipes for our family Thanksgiving feast! That experience has been the inspiration for this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design.

The turkey and sentiments used here are from the newly released Turkey Blessings. What a fabulously awesome array of  sentiments from serious to whimsical come with this fun set! The other stamp set I put into the mix is Pumpkins.

The background was created using the SVC Cut Oak Leaves and Acorns Slimline Stencil, also from Kitchen Sink Stamps! Brushing in all those autumn colors was quick and easy! I'm loving the look!

Sweet Halloween Treats

This week's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design uses their delightful Sweet Treats Multi Step Clear Stamp set released last week. As you can see in the card, the candies in this fun set include candy corn, twizzlers, gumdrops, a sucker, and peppermints! I used kraft paper to build a treat bag to hold the candy and decorated it with images from Autumn Pumpkin, Pumpkins, and Ready 4 Any Holiday.

The designer paper is Haunted Hallows by Teresa Collins. I used a circle punch for the moon and a Gina Marie Designs die for the grass.

I am entering this card is the following challenges:

Many of you are aware that I create a majority of my cards for use at my church. So what would be more appropriate for today's card of Thanksgiving sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps than to pair this  scripture of Thanksgiving shared so freely by the wonderful ladies at Word Art Wednesday with these beautiful autumn images from Kitchen Sink Stamps?

What a truly blessed life we live in this amazing world of ours. May be we take the time this week to count the blessings given to us day after day and recognize what a remarkable world our God has created for us to live in. Thanks be to God.

Halloween Treats from Kitchen Sink Stamps

I know! I KNOW! It's not Let's Make a Scene Day for Kitchen Sink Stamps, but sometimes I just can't control myself. You know the old saying, "Love what you do, do what you love!" So today I did a Halloween card sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps.

I only need two Halloween cards each year:  one for each of my granddaughters, so I am one down and one to go. 

Does anyone else remember Halloweens of old when treats were often handed out this way and it actually worked? I have many happy memories of Halloweens with my cousins on our little country road in Bay City, Texas.

Images from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps Sets were used on this card:

Owl & Autumn Moon Multi Step Clear Stamps

Pumpkins Step Clear Stamps

Harvest Step Clear Stamps

Snowy Cabin Step Clear Stamps

Ready 4 Any Holiday Clear Stamps

This card is 5 x 7 inches and the wrought iron fence die is by Spellbinders.

I am entering this Halloween card in the following challenges:

My Sweet Petunia and Kitchen Sink Stamps

Today is a fun day in the Kitchen for a couple of reasons. For one, we are doing a collaborative blog hop with My Sweet Petunia. I have long been an owner and a fan of their amazing MISTI (Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented) and have been a devoted user of it from the time it was introduced to the craft market. Layered stamping and the MISTI are truly a match made in heaven! I am the proud owner of three MISTIs: two originals and one mini, and I will never again be without one.

Fourth Monday is always a Let's Make a Scene Day for my Kitchen Sink sponsored design.
For today's scene I have mixed images from Classic Old Truck Multi Step Clear Stamps, Trees Multi Step Clear Stamps, Birch Trees Multi Step Clear Stamps, Pumpkins Multi Step Clear Stamps, Baseball Multi Step Clear Stamps (I made the fence posts from the baseball bat), and Snowy Cabin Multi Step Clear Stamps.

The mini MISTI I use most often when I am working on small individual images like the pumpkins. I love to use it whenever possible due to its small footprint on my work surface. Here is a look at how I got started on this card.

The rest of the card was created in the original MISTI with its larger work surface. This card measures 5.5 by 7.5 inches. As you can see, there is plenty of room to work with. I stamped the truck first and after masking it, I added the road and grass before stamping the background tree.

I finished the scene by adding the cut out fence posts and the pumpkins to the foreground, brushing some color on the sky, and stamping the sentiment.

Please check out the KSS designs created using the MISTI from
The Kitchen Sink Crew and the My Sweet Petunia Design Team.

Participants in the blog hop who comment on each of the linked samples below
with be entered in the prize drawings. One person will win an original or mini MISTI and one person will win a $50 gift certificate to the Kitchen Sink Store.
