Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful For You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is great for Fall cards and Thanksgiving. I used it with the Gathering Together designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a panel of Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue. Adhere another panel to an Early Espresso mat and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Cut another panel with the third largest Stylish Shapes circle die and adhere it to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set on Basic Beige using Early Espresso ink. Cut it out with the small angled Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of irregular weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set twice using Cajun Craze ink on Basic White. Stamp the mushroom and two sets of berries using Early Espresso ink and cut it all out using the coordinating dies. Adhere the berries and leaves to the card with glue dots and the mushroom with dimensionals. Make an Early Espresso bow and adhere it with a glue dot and finish with Early Espresso dots.

For the inside, stamp the leaf and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Cajun Craze and Early Espresso inks in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Fall foliage peaked this week by my house and driving around the countryside has been just beautiful. The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Together bundle captures the beauty of the season perfectly!!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments with You Are Remarkable

Good Morning! I used the pretty leaf sprig stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set along with one of the pretty sentiments from the You Are Remarkable stamp set to make a simple Fall friendship card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

I did practice stamping my leaves on printer paper to determine the relative placement and colors of the different leaves and I recommend that you do so first so that you have a layout you are happy with. I started with the Old Olive large leaf in the lower left corner and built out towards the right and upper corners. I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso inks for the different leaves and Cajun Craze ink for the berries. And I stamped on Very Vanilla card stock.

After stamping the leaves using full strength ink, stamp along the edges using stamped off ink to fill in empty spots using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. I used the same ink for each leaf in the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set. After I was happy with the leaves, I stamped the sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set using Cajun Craze ink in the empty space.

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Gathering Together specialty DSP to a Crump Cake mat and adhered the stamped panel on top using liquid glue. I wrapped it with Old Olive Linen Thread and tied a bow before popping it on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I finished with retired Crushed Curry dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaves and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set in the top corner of a Very Vanilla panel using the same colors as as the card front. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I really love stamping leaf sprays for Fall cards and the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set is great for this with the distinktive (different shades in one stamp) stamps and the variety of shapes. You get a chance to really get creative with your stamps and inks without relying on die cutting. A nice way to show off a great sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes Thank You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve got another super simple thank you card today made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Use the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and Pecan Pie ink to stamp on a the plain side of a panel of Gathering Together specialty DSP. Stamp the image twice, making a double outward spiral design.

Adhere the stamped panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with liquid glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

Wrap a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and make a bow. Finish the card with Antique Pearls.

For the inside, stamp the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on a strip of DSP using Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is a wonderful bundle and I feel guilty not using the great rectangular dies. But the images and sentiments are great too, especially for this time of year.

Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the October Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Giving Thanks” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies with items from the Gathering Together Suite to make a Thanksgiving Day card.

Adhere a plaid panel of Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to the dark side of a two-tone Early Espresso mat and then to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Emboss a Crushed Curry panel with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder and adhere it to the card with liquid glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Iconic Imagery stamp set on the light side of a two-tone Cajun Craze panel using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the large label die from the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies. Adhere the panel to the card with liquid glue.

Use the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies to cut a long leaf spring from Granny Apple Green, two berry sprigs from Cajun Craze, an oak leaf cluster from Crumb Cake, an acorn sprig from Pecan Pie and a flower from Crushed Curry. Arrange and adhere the leaves, berries and acorns to the card with glue dots.

Adhere the flower to the card with a dimensional. Tie a knot in a short length of irregular weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flower. Finish the flower center with Cajun Craze dots.

For the inside, I simply trimmed a Basic White panel with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card With Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies make pretty Fall floral arrangements for cards and other projects.

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful Card

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle from this week’s Online Exclusives release that will be available on Wednesday, September 3. And I’ve used it along with more of the pretty Gather Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with the currently available supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere the Cajun Craze panel of Gather Together specialty DSP to the bottom of a Crushed Curry mat and adhere the leafy pattern to the top of the panel. Wrap the seam with the cute Irregular Weave ribbon (available Sept 3) and secure it in the back. Pop the Panel on an Old Olive card base with dimensionals.

Use the Textured Notes rectangle die to cut a Cajun Craze panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle using Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel and adhere it to the die cut rectangle. Adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the leaves and acorn from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso inks. Cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhere the leaves to the card with glue dots. Make a loopy bow using Early Espresso linen thread (available Sept 3) and adhere it to the back of the acorn with a glue dot. Adhere the acorn to the card with dimensionals and finish with Cajun Craze dots (available Sept 3)

For the inside panel, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the leaf underneath in Cajun Craze and trim the bottom with DSP. Adhere the panel to a Crushed Curry mat before adhering to the inside of the card.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle. I love the pretty sentiments and the color variation you can get with Distinktive stamps.

And here’s the beautiful Gathering Together specialty DSP.

The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is part of the upcoming Gathering Together Suite that will be available on Sept 3 and I love how the stamps go so well with the pretty Fall DSP. The fun new ribbon gives a nice contrast to the border details on the Textured Notes die cut rectangle and nicely frames the die cut leaves and stamped sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is a new Fall bundle from the upcoming Online Exclusives release that will be available on September 3 (that’s next week! YAY!!!). It will be perfect for Thanksgiving or any special Fall occasion or thank you cards. You can find the card stock cuts along with the currently available supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a panel of the beautiful Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to the right side of an Early Espresso mat. Emboss a strip of Basic Beige card stock with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and adhere it to the left side of the DSP panel. Pop it on the front of a Cajun Craze card base with dimensionals.

Stamp the acorn and leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso and Crushed Curry inks on Basic Beige and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige and cut it out with the pretty Textured Notes die.

Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals. Adhere the die cut acorn and leaf with dimensionals and glue dots. Tie a bow with the new Early Espresso Linen Thread and adhere it with glue dots and finish with the new Cajun Craze and Gold dots.

For the inside panel, stamp the acorn and leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set in the corner of a Basic Beige panel using Early Espresso and Crushed Curry inks. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle. Aren’t those huge leaf dies great. In some of the samples, I’ve seen them stitched through the holes – such a fun idea!

And here’s the beautiful Gathering Together specialty DSP with so many pretty leaves and background patterns.

The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is part of the upcoming Gathering Together Suite that will be available on Sept 3. The linen thread (it comes in Old Olive too!) and dots are also part of the Suite. There are so many pretty Fall sets that will be available then, but this is probably my favorite!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!
