Hey card making friends, I have a New Card Making Video for you today, Pink Pumpkin Cards and Spooktacular Backgrounds.  I gathered up all the Nicol’s Needlework Dies from Spellbinders and decided to make these fun Halloween cards.  Surfing the net, pink pumpkins seem to be a thing this year, so I embraced it, LOL.  I also came up with two Spooktacular backgrounds for you, the third one isn’t really that Spooktacular, just kind of cute, LOL

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. See below for my full disclosure.

I wanted to apologize for many of you receiving multiple copies of my blog post last week.  I pay a company to send those out to you and they have been having some issues.  As this was the third time this month, I spent the weekend moving to a new provider and a huge learning curve learning their system as I had to change everything including all my subscriber buttons……phew, but I did it.  So, the new email post will look a little different and may need some tweaking.  Please be patient, like I said, it’s a big learning curve, and I’m old!, haha

I no sooner got that all done and halfway through this video, my camera died……seriously, X X in the eyes dead, so I finished with my much older back up camera, and bit the bullet and ordered a new one.  Oh boy, NEW learning curve….haha…technology is not my friend this week.

ANYWAY, 3 new cards to share with you today, and you could change out the sentiments for fall, thanksgiving, birthdays, what ever occasion you are celebrating this fall.
