Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? Was anyone able to watch the SpaceX Splashdown yesterday? I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching and waiting for it to land.
I had off yesterday and my daughter got her room painted without my help and only a little help from my husband. She did such an awesome job!! I don’t know about you, but I seem to put every color with a Stampin’ Up! color. She painted 3 of her walls a little lighter shade of the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker and one wall is painted the retired Perfect Plum. It looks so nice. I have off today and tomorrow, YAY!! We’re hoping to put all her furniture back in place today once she checks to see if she has to touch up anywhere. Tomorrow isn’t looking too promising weather wise here. The hurricane is suppose to hit, so it will be a great crafting day for me since I don’t have to leave the house.
I have a another clean and simple card for you today using a set from last year. Here’s my card for today.
My design is from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #381. Here is their sketch.
My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #604. Here are their colors.
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White card front. I adhered 2 pieces of Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon above and below the sentiment using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.
On a small panel of Terracotta Tile cardstock I stamped the pumpkin image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I punched the pumpkin out using the Apple Builder Punch. I stamped the face image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the pumpkin. I adhered the pumpkin to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered the Whisper White card front to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the pumpkin image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink, stamping off 3 times, in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the pumpkin. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Terracotta Tile mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set on the envelope front in Terracotta Tile Ink twice. I colored the images in using my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Terracotta Tile 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.
