Fall Thank You card

Hello Stampers!  I recently participated in a Christmas stamp-a-stack that was hosted by one of my team members.  We each designed  3 - 4 cards for our customers to make.  I will share them with you in an upcoming post.  My team member gave me a thank you card for helping her.  I thought it was so cute that I wanted to share it with you!

Have you ever made pumpkins like this before?  The pumpkin is simply 3 ovals!  So easy and fun!

3D Thursday

Hello Stampers!  Today I did a Facebook Live for my 3D Thursday!  I made this super cute Frankenstein box!  I can remember a few years ago we had a Curvy Keepsake box die.  I did a series on here where I made several different characters for different holidays, so I decided I would make some using the new Takeout box thinlits!

Here is the frankenstein that I made today:

You can watch me make it on my Facebook Group Inkin With Dink Stampers! And be checking back for me to add some other characters!
