The October scent of the month from Scentsy is Mandarin Moon, and boy does it smell yummy!! It is my new favorite for Fall. It smells like oranges with cinnamon and cloves. I saw this super cute owl silhouette card over on Splitcoast Stampers, and adapted it to mail out with some scent samples. This card is 3 1/2″ square.
Stamps: none
Ink: none
Paper: Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Other: 2 1/2″ Circle Punch, Owl Punch, Bird Punch
You could make some great Halloween cards like this too.

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Addicts Retiring Stamp Sets blog hop! You may have just come from Carmen’s blog, where she showed you the super cute Under the Stars stamp set, or you may be starting here. Either way, all of the blogs link in a circle and you will be able to find your way back to wherever you started. The most important thing to keep in mind is that none of these stamp sets will be available after May 30th!
I am excited to be featuring the stamp set Season of Friendship. I love this set! It is my go to set for Fall cards, and for this first card I have to show you, I have used it in this traditional way. I used the Rock & Roll technique to ink up the leaves. (Please note that Poppy Parade is one of the retiring In Colors, so anything with Poppy Parade in it will be gone!)
Stamps: Season of Friendship
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade
Paper: Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper
Other: Poppy Parade Poly Ribbon, Labels Collection Framelits
Since the tree comes bare, it is easy to dress it up for any season. For my second card, I used some embossing powder and torn paper to make a fun winter scene.
Stamps: Season of Friendship
Ink: Early Espresso, VersaMark
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Other: White Embossing Powder, Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder
My third card uses the tree in an entirely different way. I turned it on its side to make a perch for the owl! I embossed my leaves so that they would show up against the Bashful Blue sky. (Please note that both the Bashful Blue satin ribbon and the Oval All stamp set will be retiring as well.)
Stamps: Season of Friendship, Oval All
Ink: Chocolate Chip, VersaMark, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Subtles Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack
Other: Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder, Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Owl Punch, Scallop Square Duo Die
For my final card, I used all of the stamps in the set except for the tree!
Stamps: Season of Friendship
Ink: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Early Espresso
Paper: Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper
Other: 1″ Square Punch
Thanks for stopping by! Remember, retiring stamp sets are available until May 30th, but retiring accessories are only available while supplies last. The next blog on the hop is Debra’s where she will be showing you the lovely Flight of the Butterfly. Isn’t it amazing what she does with that set?

Such a fun sketch over at Retro Sketches this weekend. I just love square cards!
I happened to find this adorable owl card over on Julie Kettlewell’s blog, and I tweaked it to fit this sketch. I made his wings out of the biggest flower on the Boho Blossom punch, cut in half.
Stamps: Party This Way
Ink: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack
Other: Owl Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, 1″ Square Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Looking at it now, the only thing I might have done differently is to add a square of white to the middle. Hmmmm…. Love these colors for a boy birthday!

Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed the blog hop over the weekend. Lucky me had some time to play with my stamps! I started with this week’s sketch from Stamping 411.
That nice big recatangle in the middle looked like a great place to put some Valentine owls. So I did! I wasn’t quite ready to leave the Candy Conversations stamp behind, so I used it as a little thought bubble between the owls.
Stamps: Candy Conversation
Ink: Rose Red
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Brights Patterns Designer Paper Stack, Subtles Patterns Designer Paper Stack
Other: Owl Punch, Bird Punch, Small Heart Punch, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Old Olive Satin Ribbon
I find the smallest little punched out circle of the owls’ eyes too hard to use, so I just draw that on with my Stampin’ Write Markers. So much easier!

We gave out Tootsie Rolls for Halloween. Or tried to, at least. Not a lot of trick-or-treaters came by, leaving us with a lot of Tootsie Rolls. We donated some to Operation Gratitude at school, and I figured the rest could be used for crafts. As I was thinking about how to use them, I remembered these super cute Top Note Owl Bag Toppers that were all the rage about three years ago. I decided it was time to bring them back!
Paper: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Basic Black
Other: Top Note Bigz Die, 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch, 1/2″ Circle Punch, 5 Petal Flower Punch, Small Cello Bags
This little owl is so cute, I almost feel bad eating the Tootsie Rolls. Almost.

Stamping 411 has another great sketch this week. As soon as I saw those three circles, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted them to be!
I had recently been looking at Jill’s super cute card with three ghosts on it, and decided to adapt it to this sketch. Take a look below, can you tell what the ghosts are made out of? The owl punch!! It’s turned upside down, and their little feet are cut off. Don’t they make adorable little ghosts?
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Paper: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White
Other: Owl Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Black 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon, Dazzling Details
It’s hard to see in the picture, if you click on it you can see it a little better, but I outlined each ghost with the new Dazzling Details glitter glue. It was a quick and easy way to give them just a little bit of Pop!

I love the the clean simplicity of this week’s Stamping 411 sketch challenge. Those three squares could be windows for so many things!
My downline Samantha kindly gave me some of her Woodland Walk Designer Series paper, and I thought that the wood grain pages would be perfect for this, with the owls peeking out! I matted my scallop square punches with the smaller scalloped square from the Scallap Square Duo Bigz Die — this is still available although it is not currently featured in a catalog.
Stamps: Punch Bunch
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Concord Crush, More Mustard
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Woodland Walk Designer Series Paper
Other: Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Owl Punch, Scallop Square Punch, Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die, Big Shot
Love those owls! Only two and a half weeks left to earn them for free!
