Autumn Blessings - Kitchen Sink Stamps

 Autumn Blessings is today's Kitchen Sink Stamps slimline sponsored design. It was created with images from Kitchen Sink Stamps' Autumn Squirrel (a retired set), Trees, Autumn Greetings, and Turkey Blessings. I ink blended the background with Distress Oxides inks and stamped all of the images on SVG files cut with my Cricuit Joy. All of today's images were stamped with Altenew dye inks. Although the squirrel is retired, I couldn't resist throwing one on the card since I feed them peanuts everyday here at my house!

And Christmas cards and tags, don't even go there!! I looked in my Christmas stash bin thinking I had over 50 cards. Guess again!! There are all of 19 ready to mail! WHAT?? Looks like I will burning the candle at both ends for a while!

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!
