Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery Grateful Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery bundle is a fun set of simple holiday images and sentiments that was released as an Online Exclusive last month. It has themes that are perfect for different Fall and Winter celebrations. Today I paired it with the Iconic Celebrations 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a layered label Grateful card that could be used as a Fall thank you card or for Thanksgiving. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to a Pecan Pie mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. I cut another panel of the DSP with the large label die from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery dies. I used one of the smaller Stylish Shapes circle dies to cut two circles and I adhered the circles and label to the card with liquid glue.

I used the long curved end label die from the Unbounded Love dies to cut a Crumb Cake panel and embossed it with the Timber 3D embossing folder before adhering it to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic Beige and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped four leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic Beige and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card, tucking them under the embossed label. I used the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery dies to cut four small sprigs from Cajun Craze and adhered three under the label and one on top. I finished the card with a Copper Clay Linen Thread (available September 4, 2024) bow and three Garden Green dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink in the top corner of a Basic Beige panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Are you ready for Fall? I’ve had a great summer spending lots of time with our grandkids, but they’re back in school now and we’re headed back to Pennsylvania. I’m still clinging to Summer though and I’m sure that there will still be plenty of hot days ahead before the leaves turn and fall to the ground. So while I’m not ready for Fall yet, I’ll start working on Fall cards, so I’ll be ready when the time comes.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Grateful Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths photopolymer stamp set and coordinating Country Wreaths dies are a great set for making wreath cards. The weather has gotten cold and I wanted to make some Fall themed cards, so I pulled these out and combined them with the Inked And Tiled stamp set to make a Thanksgiving card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a plaid panel of Them Bones designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue. I wanted a floral panel to coordinate, but the Them Bones DSP only had bats and skeletons, so I decided to make one. I stamped a Pumpkin Pie panel with the flower from the Inked and Tiled stamp set in Cajun Craze ink. I stamped randomly all over the panel. I stamped the little fluff stamp in stamped off Pebbled Path ink randomly around the panel. Finally I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Cajun Craze mat. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on the bottom of a Crumb Cake panel and cut it out with the tag die from the Merriest Trees dies. I cut a Cajun Craze panel with the wreath from the Country Wreath dies and adhered it to the tag with a glue dot. I looped a length of Pebbled Path jute through the tag hole and tied a knot and popped the tag on the card front with dimensionals.

I used my dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to color a length of gingham ribbon and tied a bow. I adhered the bow to the top of the wreath with a glue dot – I love how it picks up on the plaid background! I finished the wreath with Pebbled Path gems.

I left the inside of the card blank, and just adhered a strip of Plaid DSP to the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This was a fun diversion from Christmas cards. Making your own DSP is always fun, and it’s great that I’m able to match ink colors to DSP and get a look that coordinates well. And I’m glad that I was able to use the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set again, it’s one of my favorites!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves I’m Thankful Card

Good Morning! We just got back to Pennsylvania after spending a few weeks in Arizona and luckily we made it before the Fall foliage peaked (I think). So I was inspired to pull out the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle along with the beautiful All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper (Yay – It’s back in stock!!) to make a quick fall card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the pretty sketch in the Paper Players Sketch Challenge: PP663.

I embossed a panel of Copper Clay with the beautiful Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Copper Clay card base. I cut two panels of All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a maple leaf using the small die from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies from Crushed Curry card stock and I used a sponge dauber to add some Pumpkin Pie ink to the die cut. I adhered a length of Copper Clay ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the die cut leaf on top with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves photopolymer stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Very Vanilla. I cut the label out with the label die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Copper Clay dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry ink in the corners of a Very Vanilla Panel. I stamped the sentiment in Copper clay and adhered a strip of leafy DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how all the different types of maples have different colors for fall. Here’s the Sugar Maple in our yard, just starting to peak – so pretty! But, I’m sure this is going to leave us a mess to rake next week.

The beautiful scenes in the All About Autumn DSP make it so easy to create pretty cards. And the images, sentiments and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves bundle are perfect with them!

Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Giving Thanks” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Pick of The Patch bundle to make today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post and I included the card stock cuts in the description of each card

I embossed a Crumb Cake panel with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pecan Pie card base. I adhered a Pecan Pie plaid panel of the Lets Go Fishing designer series paper to the embossed panel with liquid glue.

I stamped a little fall pumpkin scene on Very Vanilla with the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set. I stamped the tree in Pecan Pie and the leaves in Daffodil Delight. I stamped the smaller pumpkins in stamped off Wild Wheat, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink. I cut masks and used them to stamp the stems in Pecan Pie. I stamped more leaves in Daffodil Delight on the ground and cut the scene out with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I adhered the circle to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the larger pumpkins from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Calypso Coral, stamped off Lost Lagoon and stamped off Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla and punched them out. I stamped speckles on the pumpkins using the same colors. I punched out stems from Pecan Pie card stock and adhered them to the back of the pumpkins. I adhered the two smaller pumpkins to the card with glue dots and the larger pumpkin with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the long skinny die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two step method. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and adhered a loopy Linen Thread bow underneath. I finished the card with Very Vanilla dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Pecan Pie on a Very Vanilla Panel. I stamped the pumpkin in Calypso Coral ink and covered it with a mask before stamping the stem in Pecan Pie. I stamped speckles on the pumpkin and adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom before adhering the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I just love the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch bundle – it has so many pretty pumpkin stamps! And I love the coordinating stamps and great sentiments too!

Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch Blessings Card

Good Morning and Happy Monday! The Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch bundle is a fun stamp and punch bundle that is perfect for Fall and Holiday crafting! The stamp set has so many cute pumpkin and other fall stamps and some of them can be punched out with the coordinating punch. I paired it with the Glorious Gingham designer series paper and the wonderful Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for today’s card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and popped it on the front of a Pecan Pie card base with dimensionals. I cut two Basic White panels with the 3rd and 4th largest Deckled Rectangles dies and embossed the smaller one with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. I adhered the embossed rectangle to the larger one and wrapped them with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine and made a bow.

I stamped two large pumpkins from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of the Patch stamp set in Pumpkin Pie and Petal Pink inks and punched them out. I stamped the smaller pumpkin in stamped off Lost Lagoon ink and punched it out. I stamped the last crooked neck one in Crushed Curry and fussy cut this one. I used the speckled stamp to decorate each pumpkin in the same color ink and adhered them to the die cut rectangles with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Mossy Meadow and the stems in Pecan Pie and punched them out. I adhered them to the pumpkins with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with one of the Deckled Rectangles dies using the two step method. I adhered it to the panel with glue dots and popped the panel onto the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Iridescent Pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This could be a simple fall themed note card or a lighthearted Thanksgiving card. The Stampin’ Up! Pick of The Patch bundle is also great for Halloween – I think that’s the next project!

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 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!

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning! I’m almost finished with my Christmas cards, but ever since I picked up the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle, I knew that I need to use the snowflakes for a Christmas card. So I’m glad that I finally pulled it together. 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 with a winter theme – Brrrr… But it’s a perfect for my card today!

I embossed a strip of Pool Party card stock with the pretty snowflake Wintry 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the side of a panel of the snowflake pattern paper in the Textured Chic designer series paper. I adhered the layered DSP to a Pool Party mat and wrapped a length of glittered white organdy ribbon and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the front of a Basic Gray card base with dimensionals.

I cut five small snowflake dies from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle dies from Pool Party and adhered large rhinestone jewels to the centers. I adhered one of the small snowflakes to the center of a Wonderful Snowflake with a glue dot and adhered the large snowflake to the card with a glue dot. I cut a white glimmer snowflake using the large snowflake from the Chic dies and adhered a small Pool Party snowflake to the center before adhering it to the card with a glue dot. I cut two more iridescent small snowflakes from the edges of the Wonderful Snowflakes sheet and adhered large rhinestone jewels to the center.

I stamped the sentiment from the Framed and Festive stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. I sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the small label die from the Potted Succulents dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with a small rhinestone jewel. I adhered the rest of the jeweled and die cut small snowflakes to the front of the card with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed and Festive stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the snowflake from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in stamped off Pool Party in the corners. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Textured Chic DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love snowflake Christmas cards and the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle has pretty ones. And they aren’t just for Christmas, you can use the bundle and DSP for any occasion in the winter!

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

Happy Thanksgiving! We are really getting ready for Winter and Christmas here in Pennsylvania, but I want to share a last Fall card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn bundle as we celebrate Thanksgiving. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge in the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop this week and here is the pretty card sketch we are using:

I embossed a a Soft Suede panel with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Soft Suede cardd base. I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper to a Crushed Curry card base and adhered it to a Crushed Curry mat before adhering it to the card front with liquid glue. I adhered a strip of Soft Suede to the DSP near the bottom with liquid glue to back my greenery.

I stamped the large bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Soft Sued ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the berry end of the stamp again on a smaller piece of Basic White and cut them both out with the detailed die. I used the large oak leaves with acorns and three berry sections, and set aside the remaining sections for another project. I colored the pieces with Stampin’ blends, using Granny Apple Green, light Cajun Craze and dark So Saffron for the leaves, light Soft Suede for the acorns and light Pumpkin Pie for the berries. I adhered the die cuts to the card with glue dots.

I adhered some loops of linen thread to the greenery with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a strip of Basic White and adhered it to a Soft Suede mat. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals over the linen thread and finished it with a Rustic Metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the acorn and leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Soft Suede on Basic White. I colored them with Granny Apple Green and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the top corner of a Basic White card base and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

We had a visitor who checked out our pumpkin and mums last weekend – lol. May you have a wonderful day filled with family and friends, good food and happy times!

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

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle for an autumn wishes card, coloring the pretty floral fie cuts with Stampin’ Blends. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week and sketch we are using:

I adhered a panel of the new Fitted Florets designer series paper to the front of a Soft Succulent card base. I used the largest stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I partially stamped the two ends of the large bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn photopolymer stamp set on two panels of Basic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut them out with the coordinating die that makes 4 separate die cuts. I colored pieces with Stampin’ Blends, using Dark So Saffron for the flower centers, light Soft Suede for the flower leaves, light Soft Succulent for the rounded leaves, Rich Razzleberry for the flowers, light Real Red for the berries and light Daffodil Delight for the berry leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Rich Razzleberry and cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I adhered the die cut berries to the card with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals. I finished the card front with a Soft Succulent bow and opal gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the single flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends like the flowers on the card front. I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of Fitted Florets DSP and adhered the flower on top with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is really pretty and with wonderful floral images that are fun to color. It also comes with great fall sentiments and fun dies.
