2024 Hops: Fall Friends Part Two...

 

Hey,

Here is the 7th and final post in my blog hop series and part two of the fall friends hop.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing a year of makes. It has been a lot of fun hopping with Kelly and the gang, I am looking forward to joining them again in 2025.

Kelly Santi organises all of the hops. This year I have done 6 hops with Kelly and the gang -
  • Ring in the New Year
  • Spring Hop
  • Sunshine Awareness mini hop
  • Shark Week 2024 mini hop
  • Summer Soiree
  • Fall Friends

In this post I am showing the final 5 cards I made for the Fall Friends hop. We did 12 weeks with this one! I missed two weeks.

Themes for these cards are fall sports, sweater weather, baked goods, gratitude/fall flowers, fall feels (a moodboard). My cards are shown in order, the main one being fall sports.








I enjoyed showcasing the 2024 hops, I had fun digging around in my stash.

This will probably be the last time I see you in 2024. Have a wonderful Christmas and wishing you a very Happy start to 2025.

2024 Hops: Fall Friends Part One...


Hey,

Happy Friday to you! 

Here is the 6th post in my blog hop series and part one of the fall friends hop.

Kelly Santi organises all of the hops. This year I have done 6 hops with Kelly and the gang -
  • Ring in the New Year
  • Spring Hop
  • Sunshine Awareness mini hop
  • Shark Week 2024 mini hop
  • Summer Soiree
  • Fall Friends

In this post I am showing the first 6 cards I made for the Fall Friends hop. We did 12 weeks with this one! I missed two weeks.

Themes for these cards are A Latte fall fun, mushrooms/leaves, fall hayrides, fall gnomes/wreaths and non-trad fall leaves. My cards are in the correct order, A latte fall fun is the main photo.





I was thrilled to finally use the fiddly coffee dies. I bought them because I saw this awesome card -


But honestly I hadn't realised how small they were! Cue 3hrs, tweezers and lots of small pieces of foam tape and I got the most beautiful card ever! Non-trad fall is a fave, as I got to use some new dies by Concord & 9th, so pretty - but again, super fiddly.

Hubby and I are heading off on our cruise this weekend, I am super excited and hope that he enjoys his first cruise experience!

Retro Rubber Challenge #242 - Fall inspired....


Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

Hubby and I are getting ready for our anniversary trip to Mexico at the weekend, we have been together for 20 years and married for 15 years, so it is a big one for us and we are celebrating in our fave place.

We have an inspiration image for you this time.


I have generally avoided fall / autumnal stamps and sayings, it's not really my thing. But I do love fall colours and obviously have leaves, etc. I thought it would be fun to make a hello card using fall colours and leaves.

I used x2 sets for my card - Concord & 9th 'Friendly Hello' that I got in 2021 and Lil Inker 'Welcome' that I have had since 2016.

I used Altenew and Hero Arts inks for my leaves, flowers and little dots. 

I recently got a set of Color Cubes - these cards are designed to help you when you are stuck for colour inspiration and I love them. I used card 260 from cube 2 to help me here and I think that the colours have ended up perfect.

What kind of fall inspired card will you make? Don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends November 1st.

Don't forget to tell us the age of your stamp, that is part of the fun of our challenge, and please only enter 10 challenges including Retro Rubber.
