It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today I want to show you how a pumpkin can become a man. I am not talking about the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but instead I am talking about the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. Do you remember me saying to look at everything right side up, sideways, and upside down? Well today is a little bit of all three.
I was going for Mr. Potato Head but I am not sure I quite hit that. I think this card is a cross between Mr. Potato Head, Corn Julio, and a monkey. What do you think?
But do you see the pumpkin dies? And the mustache was done with the Tulip Punch.
Remember to look at everything you have from all angles.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to remind you to clean up after you emboss.
For this card I took a Versamark Pad to the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I then placed the Basic White Card Stock on the folder and ran it like normal through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Quickly I dumped an entire bottle of Gold Embossing Powder on top of the paper. I then shook off the excess and got to heating with the Heat Tool.
After I heated it thoroughly I gave it a second to cool down. Then I took my Blending Brush and began to add Starry Sky Ink to it. The result was gorgeous and almost looked like it was coming off the page. And here is probably the most important part, I wiped the excess ink off with a paper towel so that gold really showed through.
Make sure when emboss resisting you clean up after each step. First, cap your ink pad so the embossing powder doesn’t get in it. Second, put your embossing powder back in the bottle. And third, make sure to wipe off that excess ink.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I’ve been doing some research on how to relieve depression and anxiety naturally. My daughter had quite a bit to deal with in the last month with moving out, selling her truck, moving in, etc. As a result she had a few sleepless nights. And, I’ll be honest, as a result I did too.
So instead of running to the doctor for some medication I thought to look at what helps to naturally boost a system. Almost every article I read talks about how movement helps in relieving worries. You don’t have to run a marathon or even go to the gym. You just have to move.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Please remember that your community can be online, by mail, or in person. It is not necessarily where you live. Instead it is who you are friends with and who you associate with.
For me I have decided to give back to Operation Gratitude. If you don’t know much about them please take a look at https://www.operationgratitude.com/.
And since Operation Gratitude isn’t registered for Amazon Smile then I pick Tara’s (my daughter) band of choice. Right now my chosen charity is Pacific Crest Youth Arts Organization.
I would encourage you to give back however you determine. If you need help looking anything up please contact me. It doesn’t have to be hard, just remember to give back where and when you can.
