I bought this sunflower background die last year, since it fits perfectly on the front of a 5 x 7" card. I'm really glad I didn't just add it to my Wish List though, as it is already next to impossible to find. I sure wish companies didn't retire things so quickly although I know it's all about marketing.
This one was cut from some subtle patterned paper and added right to the white card base. I added Nuvo Glaze into the centre of the blooms then sprinkled them with chunky glitter. I love the sparkle!
The Happy Fall was cut from gold mirror cardstock and the shadow from a rust scrap. Inside, I added some washi tape, a gold foiled bee sticker and a sentiment that I have been using for many Thanksgivings. After making this card I realized how long it's been since I had purchased any new Thanksgiving stamps and that was the catalyst for the orders I placed recently. 😊
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used with a few affiliate links included.
