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.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest designer series paper is a really pretty and versatile Fall themed paper and I’ve recently seen cards featuring the designs colored with blends! Coloring DSP is always fun and I decided to use this technique for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Crushed Curry Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Crushed Curry Card base with liquid glue. I cut a Mossy Meadow panel of the DSP with the third largest stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the card front on an angle.

I colored the veggie panel of the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSP with Stampin’ Blends – light Daffodil Delight on the Crushed Curry squashes, light Soft Suede on the acorns and stems, light Old Olive on the Mossy Meadow squashes and oak leaves, light Pumpkin Pie on the Cajun Craze pumpkins and light Fresh Freesia on the Merry Merlot leaves. I cut the panel with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to the card front on the opposite angle with liquid glue.

I wrapped the card with black and white gingham ribbon and made a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry and cut it out with the small Stitched Rectangle die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished it with a black matte dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the squiggly from the Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I colored a strip of Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSP using Stampin’ Blends like the front panel and adhere it to the bottom of the inside panel before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Here is the card I made during my video with my sample card. For my sample, I reversed the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSPs and used a Mossy Meadow card base with an Old Olive label. I love those pretty veggie images and I love the softer tone that you get by coloring the white. Plus it’s easy and fun.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest You Are A Blessing Card

Good Morning! Do you plant mums in the Fall? I always do! I love the yellow and red ones, and that’s why I love the beautiful floral images in the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. It’s perfect when paired with the wonderful bold sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle like today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Merry Merlot panel with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Merry Merlot card base. I adhered a panel of the pretty floral Rustic Harvest designer series paper to a Basic Black mat – I chose a DSP panel with a Merry Merlot mum!

I wrapped a length of black and white gingham ribbon around the panel and made a bow on the right side. I adhered a length of white ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the DSP panel with part of the ribbon peeking out with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I cut a Basic Black label with the same die and adhered it to the back to make it thicker and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Iridescent Pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White. I cut two of the smallest butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies and adhered them together with liquid glue. I adhered the butterfly to the panel and trimmed the side with a strip of floral DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

My pretty card is CASE’d from a similar card in the July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. I haven’t used Merry Merlot in a long while and I’m so glad that I pulled it out for this card because the color is so rich! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Join me for a Facebook Live this Afternoon!

I’m planning to go live on my Facebook Page at 1:00 ET this afternoon to make a card. Join me as I make another card featuring the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. Look forward to seeing you then!

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

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle with the Rustic Harvest designer series paper for an Autumn Wishes card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun color challenge this week. The Rustic Harvest DSP was perfect for this and I popped it with Sweet Sorbet.

I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper to a Basic Black card base with liquid glue. I cut the large floral dies from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle from Basic White using both the detailed die and the outline die. I cut the outline die from a Basic Black panel and adhered them together with liquid glue. I adhered the die cut to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered a folded length of black and white gingham ribbon and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the flower over the ribbon and label with dimensionals and finished with three white dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored it with Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is really pretty and perfect for fall cards! I can’t wait to play with it again!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I made another Fall hello note card with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle. I love the debossed die cut pumpkin on card stock – you can really see the texture! 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 and this was a challenge! I softened the angles by using the curvy Seasonal Labels dies – it’s kind of close.

I was also inspired by the pretty fall colors in the Sunday Stamps SSC291 Autumn Rays Challenge:

I embossed a Crushed Curry panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper with the beautiful Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crushed Curry Card base. I cut a Mossy Meadow panel of the Rustic Harvest DSP with the large Seasonal Label die and embossed it with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder before adhering it to the card front.

I stamped sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry. I stamped the dotted line under the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black before cutting it out with the Seasonal Labels die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I colored a Textural Element berry branch with the Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend and adhered it with glue dots. I cut the pumpkin from Pumpkin Pie and the stem from Soft Suede. I put them together with liquid glue before adhering them to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped 4 flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White. I colored them with Cajun Craze and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends and adhered them to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with an amber gemstone.

For the inside of the card, I the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored it with Cajun Craze and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle is pretty versatile with the pretty stamped and die pumpkins and fall flowers. I hope you agree my interpretation of the Blog Hop sketch is close enough.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set for a layered Fall Hello card today. 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 and we’re making Fall projects!

I embossed a Sahara Sand panel with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat before adhering it to the front of a Mint Macaron card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Rustic Harvest DSP to an Early Espresso mat and then adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the pretty leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Crushed Curry ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment over the leaf in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the 2nd largest stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut another circle from Early Espresso using the 2nd largest circle die from the Layering Circles dies and adhered them together with liquid glue – the Layering Circle die makes the perfect mat!

I adhered a folded length of Natural Woven ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the layered circle over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished off the card with three amber faceted gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped parts of the large leaf with seeds from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp in Crushed Curry in the corners of a Very Vanilla panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

My maple trees haven’t started turning yet, but this stamp set captures them perfectly. And the sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set are wonderful and written with a beautiful font. They’re one of my favorites.

Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Fall Note Card

Good Morning! Here’s a Fall Note Card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle and the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Basic Black card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and used a Blending Brush to color it with Crushed Curry ink.

I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat and wrapped it twice with linen thread, making a bow on the side. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry. I stamped the frame around the letter and punched them out with the Best Label punch. I made each letter one at a time and then adhered them to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.

I kept the inside of the card simple so there’s plenty of room to write a note. I colored a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP with a Blending Brush and Crushed Curry ink and adhered it to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Crushed Curry mat and then adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Rustic Harvest DSP is perfect for this time of year and the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle makes a perfect sentiment. This bundle is so versatile, it’s become one of my favorites!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Autumn Hello card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle and the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a strip of the pretty Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base. I used a sponge dauber to color the leaves on another strip in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry inks and adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the oak leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie. I cut out the leaves with the coordinating die and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I made a loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it to the card with a glue dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little squiggle under the sentiment and cut it out with the third largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with an Amber faceted gem.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set along the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set are perfect for Fall greeting cards and the sentiments are wonderful as well. Especially paired with the pretty Rustic Harvest DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle with the Rustic Harvest designer series paper to make a Fall theme friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and here is the pretty color palette we are using today:

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a plaid panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper and adhered it to the side of a Mossy Meadow DSP panel with some of the circle overlapping the edge. I cut off the excess with my paper snips and adhered the layered Rustic Harvest panel to a Basic White mat. I adhered it to the front of a Cajun Craze card base.

I stamped sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on the Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes wide banner die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I inked up the leaf stamp with Crumb Cake ink and used a sponge dauber to add some Cajun Craze ink spots before stamping it on Basic White. I did this twice and cut the leaves out with the coordinating die. I adhered the leaves to the card front with glue dots.

I cut a Cajun Craze panel of Rustic Harvest DSP with the pumpkin dies from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle and sponged Cajun Craze ink on the edges. I adhered the die cuts together with dimensionals. I cut the stem out out of a Mossy Meadow panel of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered it to the top with liquid glue. I cut the pumpkin vine tendrils from the Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered them to the pumpkin with liquid glue. I adhered the pumpkin to the card front with dimensionals and added a linen thread bow and three Amber Rhinestones to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and sponged some Cajun Craze ink on it. I stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel and adhered a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Are you ready for Fall? My busy summer is winding down and the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest is the perfect bundle to be crafting with these days. With the pretty pumpkins and sweet sunflowers it’s the perfect set for fall inspiration!
