Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another simple Thank You card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle and the All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. This is a very simple and elegant Z-Fold card that focuses on a beautiful woodland morning scene in the DSP. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week:

This beautiful DSP looks nice when folded, but I cut the panels so that they would flow together forming a nice wide woodland scene with the inside panel in the center. I started by cutting the bottom so that the length was 5-1/4″. Then I cut 2″ from the right side and 1-7/8″ twice. This gives me my three panels for the card and leaves little strips for my pretty scrap bin.

I adhered the right panel to the right side of the Very Vanilla panel and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay ink on the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel. I adhered the panel to the right side of a Wild Wheat Z-Fold card base with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the two 1-7/8″ wide All About Autumn DSP panels to the left and middle sections of the card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Versamark ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I sprinkled it with copper embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies.

I folded a length of copper ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label to the front flap with dimensionals. I cut Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie panels with the leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies and adhered them to the right side, positioning them under the label.

I finished the card with Crumb Cake dots. The All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty DSP is so pretty and it’s sad that it sold so quickly. Hopefully it will be re-stocked next week as scheduled.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Hello Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day – the Stampin’ Up! September-December Mini Catalog is open for ordering!! To celebrate, I made a card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up Autumn Leaves bundle and the Charming Sentiments photopolymer stamp set. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Moody Mauve panel with the Distressed Tile embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Moody Mauve card base. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn specialty designer series paper to the side and adhered another panel of the DSP to an Early Espresso mat. I popped the DSP on the front of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve and Pecan Pie inks on Very Vanilla and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies.

I folded a short length of Pecan Pie ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I adhered the layered label to the card front with dimensionals and used a double layer of dimensionals on the right side. I cut four of the little leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies from Oxidized Copper specialty paper and tucked three of them behind the label. I finished the card front with Moody Mauve dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I adhered the last leaf next to the sentiment with a glue dot and trimmed the bottom with a strip of All About Autumn DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle is a beautiful and versatile set. The sentiments in the stamp set are beautiful, but if you need another greeting, check your stash, because the label dies fit a lot of sentiments well, and the leaves will make beautiful Autumn cards for any occasion!

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel bundle has beautiful holiday greenery and sentiments and I used it with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a Christmas card sneak peek. These products are from the new September – December Mini catalog which will open for orders on Wednesday! Yay!! You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Shaded Spruce panel with the star embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders and adhered it to the front of a Shaded Spruce card base with liquid glue. I adhered a musical panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to a Real Red mat and adhered the panel to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the large greenery image from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the Berries in Real Red Stampin’ Blends and the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I used the Lost Lagoon blend to trace over the pine needles to add some color there and cut the image out with the coordinating die. I popped the die cut onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Versamark ink on Real Red and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the label out with the long plain die from the Christmas Classics dies and looped some thin gold ribbon around the back, adhering it with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with gold pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner and colored them with Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t the greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set pretty? It’s so easy to color with blends, but would look great in watercolor too. And I love the sentiments and can’t wait to use the large NOEL stamp! Here’s a picture of the bundle:

And here is the Christmas Classics bundle – they go so well together!

And here is the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper with it’s classic Christmas Colors and patterns.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I’m sharing another sneak peek from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. It’s a Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer bundle. This is a fun bundle that’s great for making Christmas tags as well with bold Holiday images and I paired it with the new Merry Bright & Bold designer series paper. You can find the currently avaliable supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I embossed a Granny Apple Green panel with the new Christmas Tidings embossing folder (available Sept 6). I adhered a panel of Merry Bold & Bright DSP to a Basic White mat and adhered the embossed panel over it. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the stocking from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer photopolymer stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and I cut out the stocking toe and heel from Lemon Lime Twist and adhered it to the stocking with liquid glue. I cut the cuff from Basic White and popped it on the stocking with dimensionals. I stamped the present in Poppy Parade and decided to fussy cut it instead of using the die. I cut the bow from Lemon Lime Twist using the die and adhered it to the present and finished it with a rhinestone.. I adhered the present and stocking to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White and cut it out with the label from the Meadow dies using the two step method. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the greenery with Lemon Lime Twist, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The stocking and present from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer stamp set are fun and festive. I love that the dies make tags and that the sentiments are tag friendly. This makes the set so versatile. Here is the bundle:

And here are the different patterns in the Merry Bold & Bright designer series paper. They go perfect together.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle is one of the prettiest new sets from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog that goes live on September 6, 2023. The photopolymer stamp set has beautiful sentiments and pretty Distinktive leaves that are great for two step stamping. There are dies to cut out the stamped leaves and dies to add detailed veins to the leaves, coordinating detailed leaf dies, label dies and deboss dies to add texture. So many creative options!! I paired the bundle with the beautiful new All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper to the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card base. I adhered another strip of the DSP across the front with the foil side up. I cut two large leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies from Pretty Peacock and Copper Clay card stock and embossed them with the pretty new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder (available Sept 6, 2023).

I applied some adhesive strip to the back of Oxidized Copper specialty paper (avaliable Sept 6, 2023) and used the large leaf vein dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies to cut it out. I pulled off the adhesive backing from the die cuts and adhered them to the front of the embossed leaves. I adhered the leaves to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla. I cut it out with the label die and adhered some loops of Linen thread to the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with three brushed copper dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay ink in the corners of a Very Vanilla panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the DSP and adhered the panel to a Pretty Peacock mat before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the look of the embossed, die cut leaves overlaid with the distressed copper die cut veins. And the hint of the pretty Distinktive stamped leaves on the inside coordinate perfectly!

Here is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle. See all the different dies that go with the stamps!

And here is the beautiful All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. I used the large books and the back of the tufted leather patterns on the right side.

These beautiful products will be available on Sept 6, 2023 when the new Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog goes live.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle is one of the pretty new Christmas sets from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog that goes live on September 6, 2023. The photopolymer stamp set is full of wonderful Christmas greetings and the dies are wonderful for creating fancy foliage filled labels. I paired it with the beautiful new Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a simple Christmas card. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to a Real Red mat and adhered it to the front of a Garden Green card base. I cut a Shaded Spruce panel of Joy of Christmas DSP with the large square foliage die from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the square label die and adhered it to the front of the large foliage die cut with liquid glue and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I decorated the front with three Poppy Parade iridescent discs (available Sept 6) and a Real Red bow. So simple and quick!! I love how the gorgeous DSP contrasts with the fancy die cuts!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pine branch from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink twice (without reinking) on a Basic White panel. stamped the berries in Real Red ink along with the sentiment . I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle – the sentiments are perfect to mix-n-match and I love the musical themes!

And here is the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper. Oops – my music is upside down!

These beautiful products will be available in just a few weeks when the new Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog goes live.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Note Cards Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog will be open for orders beginning September 6, 2023 and it is chock full of fun products for fall and holiday crafting. I used one of the new bundles, the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle to make some thank you cards along with the beautiful All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered the picture side of the All About Autumn specialty 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the right side of a fall colored card stock and a strip of the foil side to the left side. I used Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow card stock as my mats, but you can pick any color that goes with the images.

I adhered the layered DSP panel to the front of a Basic White note card. The note cards come pre-scored, but I did find that it was better to score them with my scoreboard (or your paper trimmer scoring blade) before burnishing with my bone folder – don’t know why it took me so long to try this. The note cards are pretty thick, they come with envelopes and they can be mailed!

I stamped the sentiment from the new Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves photopolymer stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Basic White and cut the label out with the long die from the Autumn Leaves dies. I adhered the label to the card front. I cut a small maple leaf from fall colored card stock and adhered it to the card front, either behind or on top of the label.

So quick and simple – and pretty! The All About Autumn patterns that I used are multi directional, so you can get 4 panels from each sheet with a little square left over. So it’s perfect for making multiples. I left the insides blank so there’s room for writing a message. And if you need something more, add an embellishment and bow!

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle. I barely scratched the surface of the creative potential of this bundle.

And here is the beautiful All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. The copper foil accents are so pretty!

Are you excited for Fall crafting? If so consider the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle and the beautiful All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. These will be available on September 6, 2023 when the new Mini Catalog opens for ordering!
