Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful For You Card

Good Morning! Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set used with the pretty Splendid Autumn and Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series papers and the Perennial Postage and Label Me Grateful Dies. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Use the second largest Perennial Postage die to cut a Pecan Pie panel and adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn designer series paper to the front. Adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals.

Use the dies from the Label Me Grateful dies to cut Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry card stock. Fold a length of the fun Irregular Weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Adhere the die cut leaves and acorns to the card with glue dots on top of the ribbon.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cajun Craze and cut it out with the Perennial Postage die. Pop the label on the card using dimensionals.

For the inside panel, trim the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. Cut another Crushed Curry leaf cluster from Crushed Curry and adhere it to the panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Falling leaves with plaids are perfect for Fall and it’s great to be able to combine designer series papers, stamps and dies from different sets to make cards! Give it a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the August Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fall Frenzy” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set with the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Fall card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

Emboss a panel of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the distressed brick 3D embossing folder and sponge it lightly with Pecan Pie ink. Adhere it to an Early Espresso mat and wrap a Timid Tiger ribbon around it, tying a knot at the side. Adhere it to an Early Espresso card base with dimensionals.

Cut two panels of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP with the Everyday Arches dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set on the Fall tree arch die cut with Early Espresso ink and adhere it to the the larger arch die cut mat.

Use the Mini Alphabet dies to cut the letters F-A-L-L from Early Espresso card stock and Splendid Autumn DSP. Adhere each DSP letter to the card stock letter with liquid glue, slightly offset.

Adhere the layered letters to the Fall tree arch die cut and pop the layered arches on the card front with dimensionals. Finish with a gold druzy dot.

Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set using Early Espresso ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. Cut the ampersand from a DSP panel using the Mini Alphabet dies and adhere it between the words. Trim the bottom with a sponged and embossed DSP strip and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set has nice sentiments for different occasions and it goes well with theMini Alphabet dies. But the Everyday Arches dies are the real star of this card, transforming a pretty Splendid Autumn DSP image into something special.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Card

Happy Saturday Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions bundle is one of the pretty fall bundles the last mini catalog and it goes so well with the beautiful Splendid Autumn designer series paper. The weather has turned cold, so I was inspired to pull these out and make a fall friendship card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a pretty fall landscape panel of Splendid Autumn designer series paper to the right side of a Wild Wheat mat. I embossed a strip of Cajun Craze card stock with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the left side. I wrapped a length of Garden Green Linen Thread around the seam and made a bow and popped the layered panel on the front of a Copper Clay card base.

I adhered two gold metallic mesh leaves to the card with glue dots. I used the leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions dies to cut Cajun Craze and Garden Green card stock. I cut a maple leaf using the Autumn Leaves dies and adhered the leaves on top of the mesh leaves with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set using Cajun Craze ink on Wild Wheat. I cut it out with the small label die from the Iconic Images dies and adhered it to the card glue dots. I finished the card with faux glass gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set Cajun Craze ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the oak leaves using twice stamped off Pecan Pie ink and the wood cut using stamped off Basic Beige ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Splendid Autumn designer series paper has such pretty landscapes that you can make pretty Fall cards real quick! And the pretty sentiments and die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions bundle make nice embellishments to customize the cards and make them extra special!

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes with Splendid Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used some of the pretty sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes stamp set with the beautiful Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Fall love card. 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. I wanted to show as much of the pretty sunset as I could, so I took the liberty to shrink the square:

I adhered a pretty sunset landscape panel of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes stamp set using Cajun Craze ink on the right side of a Basic Beige panel. I cut the sentiment with the rectangular Nested Essentials die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I used the long greenery die from the Textured Florals dies to cut a Copper foil panel and a Mossy Meadow panel. I adhered the leafy die cuts together with glue dots and adhered them to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with a Copper Clay Linen thread bow and Faux Glass dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes stamp set stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink ink on a Basic Beige panel. I stamped the rocks from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes stamp set in Gray Granite and the dots in Basic Beige. I trimmed the side with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper has such beautiful landscapes that are great for making easy and simple cards. And the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes stamp set gave me the perfect sentiments to express love and appreciation of the beauty of nature.

Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery Fall Card

Good Monday Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery bundle is a wonderful Fall and Winter set with great sentiments, images and dies. I used the sentiments with the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Fall card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of the reverse side of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. My die cutting machine does not have a lot of force, so it worked out well, but if your machine is tight, it might tear the DSP badly – so I recommend you modify your sandwich to use a regular cutting plate with shims instead of the specialty plate as I’ve noticed that this DSP is a little delicate for embossing. This embossing folder is still beautiful lightly embossed. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Crushed Curry card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a floral panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Cajun Craze mat with liquid glue. I used the cute Mini Alphabet dies to cut the letters for ‘FALL‘ from the same background print as the embossed panel and adhered them to the floral panel with liquid glue. I wrapped the panel twice with Copper Clay Linen Thread and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot.

I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals and finished with Mossy Meadow dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the ‘Celebrate‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White. I stamped ‘the season‘ using Copper Clay ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set are wonderful and full of energy. The letters in the Mini Alphabet dies are perfectly sized for cards and are fun with the stamped sentiments. And the floral images in the Splendid Autumn DSP are just beautiful!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves 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 pretty Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies with the Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for my card today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I embossed a Crushed Curry panel with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crushed Curry card base with liquid glue. I adhered a strip of Oxidized Copper specialty paper to the front.

I adhered a Fall treetop panel of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Copper Clay mat and popped it onto the front of the card with dimensionals.

I used the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves dies to cut a small Lemon Lolly maple leaf and two small copper clay leaves. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set using Copper Clay ink on Old Olive card stock and cut it out with the label die. I made a loopy bow with Copper Clay linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label and popped the label onto the card with dimensionals. I finished with a Copper Clay dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the maple leaf veins from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set in Lemon Lolly ink on a Basic White panel. I used stamped off Lemon Lolly ink to stamp the leaf over it to reflect a single leaf from the trees on the card front. I adhered a strip of Oxidized Copper specialty paper to the left side and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The wonderful Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies are perfect for making Thanksgiving and other Fall themed cards with the different leaf images, dies and sentiments. And it goes great with the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper has so many beautiful images of Fall meadows and woods that are great focal points for beautiful cards. For today’s card, I used a long horizontal image with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set to make a rustic Thank You card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake card stock with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. I adhered my Splendid Autumn DSP panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and wrapped it with Linen Thread and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Crumb Cake and cut it out with the Something Fancy die.

I cut a leaf sprig from Mossy Meadow using the Autumn Expressions die and adhered it to a golden woven leaf with glue dots. I adhered the layered leaves to the card with glue dots and popped the label on top with dimensionals. I accented the label with a textured metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped part of the sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White. I trimmed the side with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. For the DSP, I chose a different pattern, as if this is another scene during a country walk.

The simple sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set are great for all occasions and work well with sentiments from other stamp sets. I used parts from a lot of different sets for today’s card, and I apologize. But I love how you can pull pieces from different sets and still make a cohesive, pretty card!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Interactive Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions bundle is unique Fall themed bundle with gorgeous sentiments and a fun double frame die. I paired it with the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make an interactive card where the pretty double frame opens to show a sentiment inside. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Cherry Cobbler panel ofSplendid Autumn DSP with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. I had problems with the DSP tearing and it didn’t look as good with the dark color, so I re-did it, using shims rather than the proper cutting sandwich so the pressure is less. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Pebbled Path card base with liquid glue.

I cut a copper textured foil panel with the frame, clasp and chain dies from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions dies. I picked out a small landscape from the Splendid Autumn DSP and cut it out with the large opening in the Frame die. I carefully applied liquid glue around the edge and adhered it to the small opening side of the copper foil frame. I burnished the folds of the frame and adhered the clasp on the large side and the chain on top using liquid glue. Note that I adhered the clasp facing down, so that it will hold the frame closed. I adhered the frame to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the large opening in the frame die and adhered it to the card (inside of the frame) with glue dots. I closed the frame by tucking the front flap under the clasp and finished the card with bronze sequins and a Wild Wheat bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wood from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set using stamped off Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I cut a Cherry Cobbler leaf and adhered it to the panel and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The double frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions is so unique and versatile! I’ve used the inside as a label die and seen the frame used for sentiments as well as a frame. I’ve also seen it used with the chain as the sides of a fancy treat box or mini purse. Today’s card is simple by comparison, but I used foil, and anything with foil is fabulous!

    Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

    Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set is a pretty returning stamp set with gorgeous sentiments and great leaf and flower images that coordinate with the pretty bough punch. I used them with the wonderful Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a hugs card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

    We have a pretty color challenge this week:

    I embossed a panel of Wild Wheat and adhered it to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

    I stamped two leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Cajun Craze and punched them out with the Bough Punch. I stamped three flower clusters using Pecan Pie ink on Cherry Cobbler and punched them out. I adhered the leaf and flower clusters to the card with glue dots. I separated strands of 2023-2025 In Color Jute and tied them together before adhering them to the card with a glue dot.

    I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White and cut it out with the medium die from the Something Fancy Dies. I felt it was too stark, so I lightly applied Wild Wheat ink over the top with a Blending Brush, and it was perfect! I popped it on the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Cajun Craze dots.

    For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower and leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set using Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze inks in the corners of a Basic White panel. I ahdered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..

    The Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set is a simple and wonderful set that is so versatile! The sentiments are just gorgeous and I love that it coordinates with the Bough Punch!

    Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Fall Thank You Card

    Good Morning! Here’s a simple thank you card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle and the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

    I adhered floral panel of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Garden Green mat with liquid glue. I wrapped it with Garden green Linen Thread and tied a bow before popping it on the front of a Moody Mauve card base with dimensionals.

    I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set on a Basic White panel using Moody Mauve ink. I cut it out with the long label die from the Autumn Leaves dies and popped it on the card with dimensionals and glue dots.

    I finished the card with three Smoky Slate pearls.

    For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set using stamped off Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I trimmed the side with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

    This is such a pretty panel of the Splendid Autumn DSP and It reminds me of Queen Anne’s Lace. And the inside flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set reminded me of them too. I love how well the stamp goes with the DSP!
