Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. My team is planning on having an all day event on Facebook for World Card Making Day on Saturday October 2nd. I’ll be posting the link by the end of the week. There will be live videos every hour on the hour along with posts all day and Prize Patrol. Come join in the fun!!!

Today’s card is a CASE’d card from one of my team members Terry Lynn. She made this gorgeous card and I asked her if I could use it for my class next Tuesday. You can see Terry Lynn’s card Here. I added my own little touches, but the basic design is all hers.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Bundle along with the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the detailed pumpkin image using the Detailed Pumpkins Dies from a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Gold Foil Mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed Gold Foil pumpkin to the layered panel using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a small piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it 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!!
