I am making a couple of these to add to my stash as masculine cards of congratulations. I mixed Kitchen Sink Stamps' Father's Pocket Watch with a sentiment from Love Songs 2 from Impression Obsession. The 3D embossed background and the Paper Doll are by Tim Holtz Idea-ology.
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. The second one is a one layer design created with the pumpkin stamped first and then masked to stamp the turkey.
Images used for these cards came from the following KSS sets:

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a Halloween card using images from Graveyard Raven and Scaredy Cat. It was inspired by today's Technique Lover's Challenge #973 - Night Sky.
My night sky for this challenge was created with blended Distress Oxide Ink by Ranger, Mica Spray, water, and rhinestones. The raven and tombstone were stamped on SVG Cut Files which coordinate with these sets. I punched a full moon to add to the scene as a highlight for the raven.

I have been having so much fun working with Hiking through the Meadows, the small die of the month for September from Spellbinders. 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!
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.
Is it just in Texas, or is it everywhere that shoulder and knee replacements are now day surgery? That's just crazy.

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a card I have created for my sweet, sweet sister. 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!!
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.
Although All Aflutter is sold out, you can create this design with Butterflies and many of the other KSS flowers and sentiments.

I thought I would share with those of you who purchased All Aflutter, the Kitchen Sink Stamps and Simon Says Stamp collaboration set during STAMPtember, an autumn scene I created mixing it with other images from Kitchen Sink Stamps. Scene building is my favorite type of card making so I am always delighted when new images can be mixed with old ones to add more interest to my scenes.
The additional images are from the following sets:

September finds me in need of a masculine birthday card so I added a digital sentiment from KSS' new Happy Birthday Banner Sentiment digi svgs (there are 8 fun banners to foil or print in this fun set) to images from Birch Trees and Mighty Moose for the rugged outdoorsman in my family!
The birch trees and the moose were stamped on SVG cut files that are available at KSS to go with these stamps sets. I used Altenew inks on these images.
The clouds were created by dipping my finger tips in white acrylic paint and dabbing the wet paint on the blue cardstock panel.

With today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored slimline design, I wanted to take a little cross-slice of the sea with a bit of underwater action below and some beach action above. It isn't quite right, but I love it just the same!! It has me chillin', at least!!

Although the temperatures are still hitting triple digits here in Texas, I am dreaming of autumn with more anticipation than ever this year. This week's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card was created with images from Big Leaves and Autumn Greetings attached to a watercolor and splattered background. The leaves were stamped on cut SVG files, and I fussy cut the sentiment, popping it up on dimensionals.
