ICS Blog Hop -September 2026 - September through December Catalog fun!

 

Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for September 2026!  This month's we are sharing ideas that are all created using some new products from the new September through December catalog.  This catalog is filled with amazing new products and inspiration.

So my project tonight is made using the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephesmera Pack from the new catalog.  The SU ephemera packs are great and make it so easy and fast to make beautiful projects.  

#168495 Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack $7.00

Mine is a book fold Halloween card - and I love it!!

How cut is that - Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock layers.  The square Crumb Cake layer is embossed with the Halloween online exclusive Embossing Folder.  It's part of the Seasonal Cheer Mini EF collection. There is one for fall and for Christmas also.  

#168221 Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders $13.00 (USD)

Then I just added some linen thread, used ephemera pieces to do my focal point, and added Basic Rhinestone Gems colored with a Pumpkin Pie Blends.  Even a little candy corn on the inside.

Hope this gives you some inspiration and also gets you to check out some of the amazing kits online.

So now, take a few minutes and hop on through all the blogs below for more ideas - and be sure to leave comments!!

Sketch Challenge #40 and fun with POTM Glow of Harvest Spec. DSP

 August 2026 - Sketch Challenge #40

Had some fun with my current sketch challenge - 

I used this sketch and the August product of the month - Glow of Harvest Specialty DSP.  The paper is so pretty - and these colors give it such an elegant look.

But - I wanted to see if I could recreate with orange pumpkins, so using Blends (Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow, Lemon Lime Twist) I colored the same images; changed up the colors a bit - and voila!  What a fun change up.  They two cards look so different - which is your fav??

You can see all the details here - https://youtu.be/MoHXbRWGzNE

To join the challenge post your entry in the pinned post in the featured section of my facebook page - facebook.com/crazystampinglady no later than midnight August 31, 2026.
