Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings So Grateful Card

Good Morning! Here’s another fall card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set. I used it with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for a leaf filled so grateful card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the pretty maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set multiple times around a Sahara Sand panel. I stamped it in Crushed Curry, Soft Succulent, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry and Mango Melody, cleaning it off between stampings. I embossed the panel with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Mango Melody mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Versamark Ink on Rich Razzleberry and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated it until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the large banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies so that the sentiment was on the right side of the banner. I trimmed left end straight and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I made a four loop bow from Linen Thread and adhered it on the sentiment label with a glue dot. I finished the label with a large amber gem (I love these gems!!).

For the inside of the card, I stamped parts of the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set on a Sahara Sand panel using the same ink colors as the card front. I embossed the panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the side of a Basic White panel with liquid glue before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set is so pretty and the sentiments are great! It’s the perfect stamp set for this time of year!

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Thinking Of You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set is one of the prettiest leaf stamp sets ever. This maple leaf with seeds is so graceful and wonderfully shaded. And I love the sentiments! I used it with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for a simple thinking of you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Very Vanilla panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base with dimensionals.

I inked up the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set with Pumpkin Pie ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Cajun Craze ink around the edge of the leaf. I used another sponge dauber to apply Parakeet Party ink to the stem and stamped the leaf on Very Vanilla. I used my paper snips to fussy cut around the leaf. I adhered the leaf to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla. I used the large label die from the Waves dies to cut the sentiment using a two step die cutting technique (cut half the label, move the die to the other half and cut the other half). I looped some Sahara Sand ribbon through the label and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I finished the card with an amber gem.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the seed from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Parakeet Party on a Very Vanilla panel using the same sponge dauber technique to ink the stamp. I embossed a strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

There are so many beautiful card made with the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set. I love the cards made using the Joseph’s Coat technique and the baby wipe technique. It’s so versatile and I’m planning to play with this beautiful stamp set some more.

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.
