Truck load of flowers Birthday Card & Recipe

  Hello and welcome to my blog. Back in June I was a challenge winner over at A Cut Above and won a e-gift card to A Cherry on Top. One of the items that I got in my order was a stamp set from Hampton Art. So, for today's card I wanted to share with you all a card that I made using one of the images.

This stamp is more of a spring- summer image so I tried to color the leaves to look more like fall.

I also wanted the truck to look old, so I added a few colors to make it look a little rusted. 

Here is a list of supplies used-

ARRTX Colored Pencils

Stamp Set- Hampton Art, Sentiment- S.U. Garden Birdhouses

Cardstock- Rich Razzleberry, Vanilla, Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa

S.U. Designer paper, Ink- Chocolate Chip, Sizzix Embossing Folder,

S.U. Border Die, Stitched Rectangle Die, Circle Die

Alcohol Ink blending pen by Ranger for blending

 My niece brought me some green plums, so I decided to make a dessert with them, thought you all might like it. The good thing about this recipe is that you can use several different kinds of fruit like peaches, apples, pears or apricots. 

Plum Buckle Dessert

Ingredients you will need

For fruit mixture-

2 cups of sliced fresh plums (I used closer to 2 1/2 cups)

1/2 stick of sliced cold unsalted butter

3 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

For batter-

1 cup flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 stick of unsalted butter at room temperature

3 large eggs

3 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 9-inch baking dish

In a medium bowl add sliced plums (No need to peel)

cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, mix together

For batter-

In large bowl combine flour, softened butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. stir until well combined. Don't over mix

Pour and spread half of the batter in the bottom of a buttered baking dish. Add plum mixture, Add cold sliced butter all over plums. Spread rest of batter over top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. If it looks like it's starting to burn you can place a piece of aluminum foil loosely over it. Let cool a little before serving.

 This was my first time baking with plums, and we all liked it and thought that it was a good fall dessert. 

Thanks for stopping by, hope you all have a nice day.

Two hearts Wedding Card

 Hello there, Glad you could stop by. For today's card I am sharing a wedding card that I made for my great niece Magnolia and her new husband Will. They recently had their wedding and today they will be having the reception. 

It took me a while to think of what I wanted on the front of the card. I had all sorts of idea's running through my mind. Anyway, I finally decided on this design. Hopefully they will like it. 

I cut out the bowtie with scissors so it's not perfect. Used circle dies for the circles, and an old, neglected heart punch from Stampin Up. Label die for sentiment. Embossed the bride heart, added pearls and diamond gems also a blue satin ribbon. Cardstock is from Stampin Up.

 Congratulations Magnolia & Will

Thanks for stopping by, Hope you can make it back again and hope you all have a beautiful day.

Joyful Sunflower Card

 Hello Crafter's, Hope you all are doing well and so glad you could take a little time to stop by my blog. I can't get over that we are now already in the month of November. 

I do love this time of year. Now don't laugh at me but one of my favorite things about fall is when you're driving and drive over a bunch of leaves in the road and you look in your rear-view mirror and see leaves swirling around and they look like their dancing. I love it so much, it just makes me happy. 

Today is my daughter's birthday, so I wanted to share with you all the card that I made for her.

This is also her favorite time of year. So, I always make her a fall themed card. I made her a sunflower card last year and decided to go with sunflowers again since they are her favorite flower.
