I saw this color combo for this week’s TGIF Challenge #597 and thought, “But I don’t have any new Halloween stuff!” So then I had to get creative!
Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.Since I have been LOVING the new Hot Foil System I decided to work with it some more!
I created the background wreath using stamps from Wreath & Wonder and the three colors in our challenge.
I’m still on the fence about whether or not I should have used my blending brush and some Pumpkin Pie ink to dull down the brightness of the white, but all in all I think I like the outcome!
I stacked two of the gold foiled wreaths on top of one another … one on Basic White and the other on Granny Apple Green. I think I’m gonna try to do a fuller wreath with many multiples of the gold die … wouldn’t that be fun??

My house is already all decorated for Halloween … I DID end up doing it last weekend and love feeling ahead of the game for once!
We’d love to have you play along!! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!
There’s nothing quite like a good ol’ black & white challenge! This month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday provides just that … and, other than scrambling to find ANY current DSP I had in my stash that was black and white, I love this one!
I stamped the flowers and sentiment using the Tile Garden stamp set.
The background was texturized using the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder.
I cut three different colored Scalloped Blooms Dies .,. and then I cut them in half and staggered them stacked on top of each other.
Added a little baker’s twine and a few embellishments and that was that!
I love how quickly this came together and how clean and simple it looks … gotta love the classics!

Happy Monday! The Monday Montage Crew has some AMAZING things to share with you this week! I’m turning up the fall vibes at my house … even put up my Halloween decor over the weekend! Woot! Woot!
I’m reallllly enjoying playing with the Hot Foil System!
The gold bricks laid down on some Cajun Craze??? GORGEOUS!
The pumpkins, vines and sentiment all came from the Painted Pumpkins Bundle.
The frame is from the Phrases & Frames Dies … it fits PERFECTLY around the brick, don’t you think??
So that the background would go with the rough-hewn brick look, I just wadded it all up and then flattened it back out (after doing the hot foil, of course). I even added a little splatter using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend (which is a little hard to see in the photo).
The pumpkins and vines were brushed over just a little with one of my blending brushes! Really makes me wish I had planted a garden this year (dumb drought made me decide against one!).

What’s your favorite time of year?? Mine is most definitely fall … the colors, the smells, the temperature … it’s all the BEST!
Our Monday Montage Hop has gone exclusively to Instagram! You can check it out by finding me @tinkermom85. From there you will be able to find all of my Monday Montage Friends, too!
I guess it’s really turning into fall! I am not sure what has happened to this entire year, but it sure has gone by quickly!
This week’s TGIF Challenge is based on inspiration from the photo on the left … fall has always been my favorite time of year, so this one was really fun!

I haven’t made a gatefold card with a belly band for quite some time, so creating this fun little pumpkin patch using the new Painted Pumpkins Bundle seemed the perfect opportunity to do so.
I loved layers the pumpkins with fall colors - Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Peaceful Pine and Granny Apple Green! I offstamped the Peaceful Pine to make the leaves look more dimensional.
Peaceful Pine is fast becoming one of my new favorite colors (to be fair, green IS my favorite color!). I used one of the dies from Sweet Words & Labels to make the sentiment panel … this particular die fit perfectly!

I think I’m actually going to put up my Halloween/fall decorations this weekend … I decorate as much for Halloween as I do for Christmas … can’t help it!

Did y’all know that Stampin’ Up came out with a Hot Foil System a few months back???
I did … and chose to “ignore” it … I did NOT need it … I did NOT want it … I was NOT gonna buy it … at all … ever …
Yeah, yeah, yeah … you know how THAT goes!
I received all my new goodies last weekend and I AM OBSESSED!!!
It was so much quicker and easier than I had anticipated it to be … and making his card was WAAAYYYY fun!
I knew I wanted a multicolored fall wreath. Choosing which colors to use was the hard part.
I did a bunch of fussy cutting on this one (which I actually enjoy and find very therapeutic). But the wreath itself was included in the dies I had purchased, as was the Buffalo Check Background (which I LOVELOVELOVE1).
I used the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder as it seemed the perfect addition … and there IS a hot foil die included with the Wreath & Wonder Bundle that is a bunch of splatter that I didn’t realized I needed to use until AFTER I had already embossed the background. SO … I just pulled out a gold glitter pen and made my own splatters. Lesson learned for next time!

There are a LOT of hot foil die bundles that I see making their way into my collection before too long … sigh … another addiction, I suppose!
