When we think of fall-themed cards, creations, or decor, most times our minds go to rich colors like orange, burgundy, brown, and gold. Here as of late, the trend has been leaning toward decor for the autumn season in light neutrals with light blues and creams, and mint greens. Both are very beautiful but very different in their look. Most have a preference for one or the other but for this card, I decided to use the light neutral theme, just for fun.

Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla Cardstock [101650] was the first color that came to mind when considering a base color for this card. With that starting point, the colors of ink, designer paper, and embellishments would complement that base. For patterned papers, I decided to reach outside of the box and look for something not associated with the season but echo the colors that I was looking for in the project. This Abigail Rose 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper [159037] from the Stampin Up annual catalog was just the ticket!

The colors, though neutral, still have such a rich feel, don't you think?

Here are the supplies used to create this card. Thank you for your support! Each time you place an order through my online store,  it supports my business and allows me to continue sharing!  I am grateful to serve as your demonstrator.

Yes, it's another tea towel gift with a Fall Themed Gift Tag using Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest!

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love to give these as gifts!  When you watch the video, you'll hear all about it and my reasons why!

Upon seeing this particular towel at HL, I knew that it would be a perfect match for this Hello Harvest stamp set and coordinating dies.  Of course, at least two of a kind always go in my shopping cart and who can resist that little truck?  (Here's another truck-themed gift towel from a few years back.)

Now let's take a look at the video from this week's premiere on YouTube.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Crumb Cake Cardstock [120953] to cut tag should be about 4 x 5.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276]: 3 x 4 to stamp and die-cut flowers
• Pumpkin Pie Cardstock [105117]: 3 x 4 to stamp and die-cut pumpkin.
• Be generous with your Natural Finish Ribbon [159051]. You might want to leave it on the spool to wrap around your towel and then cut.
• Linen Thread [104199] should be cut at 8 -10 inches to give yourself leeway when attaching to the wide ribbon.

This pumpkin and sunflower combo makes an adorable tag, don't you think?  Even you are unable to find THIS towel or one similar, you are sure to find an orange or sunny yellow towel.  Just think of how this tag would really dress those up!

Are you ready to get started? Here's what you'll need...

• Hello Harvest Bundle (English) [159644]
• Crumb Cake Cardstock [120953]
• Basic White Cardstock [159276]
• Pumpkin Pie Cardstock [105117]
• Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [147114]

Let's take a look at the video with more details to follow.

Now that you've seen the video, here are the details for the card so that you can make one yourself.  You can look for the details for the Halloween treat bag coming soon here on Ink and Inspirations.

This is the beautiful view from the back of our cabin with fall boasting beautiful colors on the adjacent hillside.   Once these trees start displaying their colors, it doesn't last long so I was sure to get plenty of photos and FaceTimed family and friends so they could enjoy it, too.  There's a definite chill in the air and as I write this blog post, we are expecting the first freeze of the season tonight. 

We did "light the heater", as Mom used to say, and I'm wearing a worn but cozy robe that belonged to her.  Jackie and I are watching "The Voice" and are waiting on the baseball playoff game to start as my Dad would be if he was still with us.  He was a huge Astros fan and we all used to watch and cheer them on together.  Memories are priceless.

Life, like seasons, brings change and we must adjust.  Treasure each moment, each falling leaf, each life well lived. What a beautiful world and as Dad would say, "It's beautiful, wonderful life."

It's a special Saturday post for you today with our fifth in a series of 2022 Halloween projects.

This project is a little treat bag that is easy to assemble because... guess what? The treat bags are already made for you. You just have to dress it up a bit and we can do that with stamps, ink, and paper. Now, this particular bag is packaging for a teacher gift which is a cute Halloween bar of soap found at TJ Maxx.

Before we start with the how-to, there's an update that must be shared. The Witch Hat Builder Punch that coordinates with the Bewitching Cling Stamp Set (English) [159855] is sold out and no longer available!  But, no worries!  You can still use the stamp set and that little hat is super easy to fussy cut for this and other Halloween projects.

It's not too late to order to have some fun packaging and decorations ready for Halloween. So take a look at the video and see if it's something you can use. I'm all about doing something that's easy and quick and you can make this as easy as you'd like. These little bags are great. And they are special, not just for Halloween, but for any holiday occasion. The cut-out stars are just so cute. And, you can put any backing of cardstock or paper inside the bag as you'll see in the video. Now let's take a look and see how I put this all together.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Basic White Cardstock [159276]: Approximately 4 x 4 for a die-cut circle.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276]: Approximately 4 x 5 to stamp, cut, and die-cut sentiment.
• Polished Pink Cardstock [155710]: 3 x 4 for punching.
• 2022–2024 In Color Glimmer Paper [159246]: 5-1/8 x 3-3/8 for lining the inside of the bag.

Today's 2022 Stampin' Up! Christmas Card features a fun-fold card using the beautiful Brightest Glow Bundle from the Stampin Up Mini Catalog. This card features a belly band for closure and it has two flaps of patterned paper that overlap just a bit and reveal an inner card with your sentiment and greetings.

Brightest Glow is a wonderful sentiment stamp set for Christmas. It's one of my favorites and it's "seeing ink" over and over again. The labels within the die collection in this bundle are great and have some pretty perforated accents along with some special dies that can be used on the layers or front of your card.

This fun-fold card highlights the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper [159535] This is a six-by-six stack with colors including Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and a touch of gold foil which just makes it absolutely beautiful!

We had a great time on World Card Making Day last Saturday as I went live on YouTube and Facebook to make three fun Stampin' Up! Christmas cards for 2022.

One was a clean and simple design that I love to recreate yearly. Another was a fun fold featuring some of our designer series paper from the annual catalog. The other card was designed by using designer paper from the Mini catalog highlighting the images from the paper by using those as the card's focal point.

These designs are easy to duplicate and I hope you are inspired to recreate them with products that you have at home. Or, if you need you can just simply order the supplies to create these as seen in the video through the online store.
