Using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies, I die cut around the image. I layered it to green patterned paper and orange card stock die cut with the same set. Then I attached the stamped piece to a white card.
The sentiment is stamped with orange ink on white card stock and die cut using the smallest die in the same die set. The sentiment is attached to the card using foam tape. My sentiment stamp is an older discontinued stamp 😕 – but I’m sure you have great sentiments in your collection that you can use. ☺️
This card can be used for so many Fall greetings – Happy Fall, Thanksgiving, Thinking of You, Thank You, and of course, Birthday. 🍁🍂🍁

These breakfast bars are a great way to use up those overripe bananas. Did you know that you can freeze overripe bananas to use for baking or smoothies later? You can peel them, or not (I’ve frozen them both ways), and put them in a freezer bag. They will thaw out quickly when you are ready to use them.
The bars only take 9 ingredients and they mix up in just a few minutes. I used frozen blueberries in my breakfast bars because I already had them in my freezer. The recipe calls for ground flaxseed, but I didn’t have any so I left it out. 😊
This is after about 40 minutes in the oven. They smell so yummy! 😋
I stored my bars in the fridge for a few days and popped them in the microwave for about 15 seconds to warm them up. So good with a cup of hot tea or coffee! 🫖☕️
You can also cut the pan into bars, wrap them in plastic wrap, put them in a freezer bag, and put them in the freezer for a quick breakfast. Just unwrap the bars as needed and microwave for about 30 seconds until they are warm. Easy, quick, and tasty! 😋 The full recipe is here.

The pattern is very well written and works up more quickly than you might think. I also made their Crochet Moose Stacking Ring Toy (you can see him in this post) for his older brother last year and it was a big hit. 🫎
I usedI Love This Cotton Yarn in White, Black, Red, Royalty, Curry, and a tiny bit of Glowing (for the back lights on the car) with an E/3.5 mm crochet hook to stitch up my toy. You’ll also need polyfil for stuffing each piece.
The very bottom ring is sewn to the cone for stability and the rest stack onto the cone with the race car on the top. I love this toy because there are no safety eyes or buttons to worry about for little ones. It’s also soft and easy for little hands to grab. 🚗
This is such a fun stamp for all your Fall greetings! It’s called Fall To Go and you can find it at Unity Stamp Company.☕️

I made this card for my sister’s birthday and tucked a Starbucks gift card inside.☕️😊
I die cut around the image using these dies from MFT Stamps and layered it to orange card stock cut with the same dies.
I attached a piece of patterned paper to a white card and attached the stamped piece to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is stamped with black ink on a strip of white card stock, layered to orange card stock, and attached over the coffee image on the card.
I love all these Fall colors! And whether you like coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, this fun stamp will be great for sending Fall birthday wishes. 🍁🍂🍁
We’ve made it to November! 😳 This year has flown by! I’m so glad I have been making a few Christmas cards each month – it makes this time of year a little less hectic. 🎄😊

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored him with Copic markers. I die cut around the image with the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set. I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white card stock and die cut around it with the same die set.
To make the card, I added 2 different patterned papers to a white card. I attached both the reindeer and the sentiment using foam tape.
This is a quick and easy card, but it’s so cute for sending Joyful Wishes!🎄

I stamped the sentiment from the Pilgrim Gnomies set with black ink on orange card stock, punched around it with a 1.5 inch circle punch, and attached it to the card with foam tape.
I added 3 light blue Dew Drops to finish the card.
It’s a simple card, but with a great reminder to be thankful for the little things! 🍁🍂🍁
I found these cute little unfinished wood tags at Hobby Lobby. I love the 3 wood beads they have and they measure 1.25 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall. There are 12 in a package and all the Christmas items are 50% off! They are the perfect size to use for all your Christmas gift giving.🎄🎁

I also picked up some red shimmer permanent vinyl to use with my Cricut machine to cut initials to put on my tags.
Using Cricut Design Space, I chose a chunkier font (I can’t remember the name🤷♀️) and sized the letters to be about 1 inch wide by 1.25 inches tall. I used my weeding tool on the letters and then used transfer tape with my scraper to attach the letters to the tags.
They needed a little something more, so I tied a bow using green satin ribbon at the bottom of the 3 beads.
Don’t have a Cricut machine? I think you could also use alphabet stickers on the tags. You could even paint the letters onto the tags.
These Little Wood Gift Tags are super cute and easy to make. And they can be used as ornaments once the gifts are opened. 🎄
Want some yummy comfort food for dinner that’s easy to make? You need to try this Cheesy Baked Spaghetti! 😋

The cheesy goodness comes from cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. My husband called it “crack spaghetti” because he went back for a big second helping! 😂
This can also be put together – except for the French’s fried onions – wrapped up tightly and put in the freezer for later. Simply thaw it in the fridge and bake according to the recipe, adding the fried onions during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Add a green salad and some garlic bread and you’ll have a tasty weeknight dinner! 😋

I attached a piece of patterned paper to a white card. The pumpkin piece is attached to the card using foam tape and the sentiment is attached to the corner. I finished the card by adding a few purple sequins.
I hope you get to enjoy a few of your favorite Halloween treats today! 🎃
