Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Thank You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I pulled out the pretty Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest bundle again for today’s card and I combined it with the pretty Sale A Bration Be Dazzling specialty paper for a sparkling thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a theme challenge this week with the theme of Autumn/Harvest:

I also entered my card into the Sunday Stamps SSC265 Sunflower Dreams Challenge. I substituted coneflowers for Sunflowers, but I did use all the pretty fall colors:

I embossed a Very Vanilla panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and used a blending brush to lightly apply Soft Succulent ink to the top. I adhered it to a Soft Succulent mat. Then I embossed a Soft Succulent panel with the same embossing folder and applied Soft Suede ink around the edges. I cut a frame from the Be Dazzling specialty paper and two of the Stitched Rectangles dies and adhered the Soft Succulent embossed panel to the back and adhered them both to the Very Vanilla embossed panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the large coneflowers from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest cling stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die from the Harvest Dies. I colored the flowers with Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. I colored the stems with the Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I cut Bumblebee card stock with the wheat die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the flowers on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the small label die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots, tucking it under the flowers. I made a bow with Bumblebee gingham ribbon and adhered it with glue dots and finished the front with three champagne rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set in stamped off Soft Suede ink on the side of a Very Vanilla panel. I embossed another strip of Soft Succulent card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and applied Soft Suede ink with a blending brush. I adhered the strip to the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card. And since the flower image is so pretty, I decided to stamp the front of a Very Vanilla medium envelope to match.

The Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest bundle is one of my favorites and doesn’t the Be Dazzling specialty paper make it pop? I should have thought a little more because this would have been the perfect background for a special Fall birthday card. I guess I’ll just have to make another one.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Video Tutorial

Good Morning and Happy Labor Day! I hope that you are able to enjoy a long weekend and have another day off! For my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon, I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins bundle to make a Thankful for You card in Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent. Touches of Rose Gold and copper give it some subtle sparkle to make it special. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel here so you can view it there if you prefer.

I adhered a panel Soft Succulent Harvest Meadow designer series paper to a panel of Crumb Cake paper and adhered the layered DSP to a Rose Gold Metallic mat. I popped the panel on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I applied some adhesive sheets to the back of a panel of Rose Gold Metallic paper and cut it with the large pumpkin from the Detailed Pumpkins dies. I peeled the backing sheet off and adhered the die cut pumpkin to the card front. I cut some pumpkin leaves from Soft Succulent and adhered them to the top of the pumpkin with glue dots. I applied some Stampin’ Seal next to the pumpkin and adhered some soft succulent ribbon to the card front and trimmed the ribbon ends.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Versamark ink on a Crumb Cake panel and sprinkled it with copper embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heat set the sentiment with my heat tool. After cooling, I cut out the sentiment with the Tasteful Labels die and adhered it over the ribbon with dimensionals. I added three brushed copper dots to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pumpkin trio from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in stamped off Soft Succulent ink on a Basic White Panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Handsomely Suited stamp set next to the pumpkins in Crumb Cake and trimmed the bottom with Harvest Meadow DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up Pretty Pumpkins bundle is just wonderful! I love coloring the stamped images and there are dies to cut them all out. The sentiments are beautiful and perfect for fall and the extra pumpkin dies in the make beautiful pieces of art!
