Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the 3 day weekend, for most. Is anyone starting to make plans?
Today’s card is a pretty quick and easy one for you using a mix of Annual Catalog and Mini Catalog items. Here’s my card for today.
My design is from Sunday Stamps Let’s Get Sketchy Challenge #238. Here is their sketch.
My colors were inspired by CAS Colours & Sketch Challenge #386. Here are their colors.
I also played along with The Alphabet Challenge. Their theme is ‘K-To use Kraft Paper of Card’.
I started by adhering a panel of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I embossed a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the pitcher image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Country Home stamp set on top of the pitcher in Mossy Meadow Ink. I colored the images in using my Gray Granite and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork on an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a small panel of Whisper White cardstock using the smallest octagon die from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn
Goodness Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Metallic Pearls to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Country Home stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink and colored the image in using my Gray Granite and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the pitcher image from the Country Home stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set on the pitcher in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered a panel of Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard Size) is now available for you to order!!!
Here are the details:
The standard machine comes with all the plates you need to get started. The preorder will not include the replacement plates, but they will be available beginning with the customer launch on September 1.
Note that the Cutting Plates and Adhesive Sheets are already available to order. The optional Impression Mats are not be available; I’ll keep you updated on their availability.
So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:
- Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
- Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
- Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
- Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles.
