Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Here we are again, halfway through the work week and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is the type I don’t usually make. CAS with no layers. I don’t remember the last time I made one of these. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle for my card today.

I played along with The Paper Players Challenge #662.

I also joined in with Aud Sentiments Challenge #306, Ink Blending and/or a Fall/Thanksgiving + a Sentiment.

I entered my card in CAS of Friday Challenge #268 Autumn.

The last one I joined in with is Inspire. Create. Challenge #153 Theme Challenge Autumn/Halloween.

I started by using Post-It Note Tape and making the edges of a Very Vanilla card base. I placed the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask over the card base and secured it with tape so it wouldn’t move.

I started with my Small Blending Brush and Crushed Curry Ink, adding ink all over the card base. I then added some Pumpkin Pie Ink using my Small Blending Brush going more around the edges. I added a small amount of Cajun Craze Ink with my Small Blending Brush next. Lastly, I added Old Olive Ink using the Small Blending Brush just in a few places. I removed the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask and the tape from the edges of the card base.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the maple leaf die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes, I added some leaves in the corners of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes to add leaves to the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
