Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #210 is Pumpkin Season. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Crate Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Up! Caring Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and Online Exclusive Deckled Circle Dies and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card. I was inspired by the pumpkins in the photo along with the overall rustic feel of the photo, the colors and of course the gingham.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 210.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Emboss a Gray Granite card front using the Leaf Fall EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Gray Granite card base using Liquid Glue. From a panel of Basic Black, cut the Deckled Circle Die and from a panel of Basic White, cut the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal.

Stamp the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White die cut circle. Color the image with Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the artwork circle to the Basic Black Deckled circle using Stampin’ Seal. Cut the crate using the Rustic Crate Dies from a panel of Country Woods DSP. Adhere the crate on top of the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the sentiment from a panel of Gray Granite using the Rustic Crate Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the layered panel.

Using the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker, color a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue. Add a few Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Caring Leaves stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pumpkin image on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black. Color the image using Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Adhere a strip of Country Woods DSP to the envelope front. Stamp the pumpkin image from Rustic Crate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and color it the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

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