Stampin’ Up! Gather Together for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Fall Frenzy”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I decided to use non-traditional colors for my card today.  I saw these colors together with some fall decorations and loved it.  Here’s my card.

I started by embossing the top of a Sahara Sand card front using the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I adhered the card front to a Brass Foil Sheet mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Forever Flourishing Dies I cut panels of Brass Foil Sheet, Brushed Metallic Sheet, Pretty Peacock & Seaside Spray using different dies.  Using the Stitched Leaves Dies and Nature’s Roots Dies I cut leaves out of a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock.  I stamped the 2 pumpkin images from the Stampin’ Up! Gather Together Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on a panel of Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I cut the pumpkins out using the Gathered Leaves Dies.

I arranged the leaves and pumpkins the way I wanted them on my Silicone Sheet and adhered them together using Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the pumpkins with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the collage to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a thin strip of Sahara Sand cardstock.  I adhered the sentiment to the top center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Gilded Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the 2 pumpkin images from the Gather Together stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored them in using my Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the pumpkin image from the Gather Together stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom front of the envelope.  I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  How is everyone doing today?  If you are hopping over from Eva, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is the sketch we had to work from.

Here is my card for today using this sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I wrapped a piece of the Mint Macaron 1/2″ Basket Weave Ribbon, from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, around the panel and tied a knot.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using one of the ovals from the Layering Ovals Dies.  I cut a label from panel of Early Espresso cardstock using the Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered the oval to the center using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped 6 leaves and 4 acorns from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set .  I stamped the acorn outline images in Early Espresso Ink, the acorn top in Early Espresso Ink, stamped off once, and the acorn bottom in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the leaf outline images in Cajun Craze Ink and the inside of the leaves in Cajun Craze Ink, stamped off once.  I punched all the leaves and acorns out using the Autumn Punch Pack.  I adhered the leaves and acorns to the sentiment using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the leaves and acorns that I stamped and punched from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set on either side of the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leaf image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set across the bottom of the envelope front in Cajun Craze Ink and the inside of the leaves in Cajun Craze Ink stamped off once.  I adhered a panel of the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends.  TODAY IS THE DAY!!! The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog is now live.  Hope you have your shopping lists ready and you are ready to use those Bonus Coupons you earned last month.  I know I’ll be placing my order 1st thing this morning!!  I’m so excited, I get to order the new Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine today.  This is one of the perks of being a demonstrator.

I have another fall card for you today.  It might be 90+ degrees outside, but I’m thinking cool.  Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Fab Friday Sketch Challenge #195.  Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #127.  Their theme is ‘Stamp on Kraft’.

I started by stamping a Crumb Cake card front with the images from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set randomly in Crumb Cake Ink.

I cut a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Brushed Metallic Gold sheet using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered a piece of the 3/8″ Embroidered Ribbon to the DSP using  a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Crumb Cake Ink and colored the leaves in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cajun Craze 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 Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and colored them in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Smile

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.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Double Time Stamping

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  I have the next few days off from work, so I’m doing a happy dance.  Plans are to get my daughter’s room painted today and tomorrow, then Tuesday put everything back in place.  We’ll see what happens.

I have a clean and simple card for you today doing the Double Time Technique.  All I used was Stamps, Ink and Paper, just the basics.  Here’s my card for today.

I lightly adhered a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock to a Very Vanilla card base making sure it was centered.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink in the center of the panel.

I first stamped all the outlines of the leaves from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks randomly around the panel.  I stamped all the fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in the leaves, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink.

I carefully removed the Very Vanilla panel and adhered it to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel, making sure to line up all the leaves and stems, to the Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside is stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the outline leave images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks.  I stamped the leaf fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the outline leaf images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Inks on the envelope front and flap.  I stamped the leaf fill images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, all stamped off once, in Bumblebee, Just Jade and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the wheat image from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends.  Happy August!! I can’t believe how fast this summer is going.  Does anyone have plans this weekend?  I’m working today, it’s the 1st and I have to get my bills out.  The good news is I have off tomorrow and my boss said to take Monday and Tuesday off too, YAY!!! After working 2 weeks straight it is most welcomed to have off.

For today I have a quick and easy fall card for you using some of the new items coming in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Here’s today’s card.

My design is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #344.  Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering 2 panels of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to Copper Foil Sheet mats using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panels to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink between the matted panels.

On a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gather Together Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink.  I cut the leaf out using the Gathered Leaves Dies.  The Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves Dies are returning from last year.  The best part about this is it is brought back at the bundle price saving you 10%.  I cut Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I adhered the leaves to the right of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.  I tied a small bow from the 1/8″ Copper Grosgrain Ribbon, from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, and adhered it to the large leaf using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the leaf image from the Gather Together stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leaf image from the Gather Together stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamping off twice, on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends.  How was everyone’s week?  The weekend is here, ready or not.  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for this week to be over.  I’m starting to feel like I live at work.  Has anyone made any plans for the weekend?  I’m working tomorrow, but I’m suppose to have off on Sunday, YAY!!!

For today I have another new fun fold for you.  It’s a bridge fold card and it is super easy.  Here’s my card for today.

I played along with the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #254.  The theme is ‘Coloring‘.

I started by scoring and folding an 8 1/4″ X 4 1/4″ Mint Macaron card base at 1 3/8″, 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″ & 6 7/8″. I adhered 4 panels of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to 4 Early Espresso mats using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered them to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This is not a real good photo, but I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the pumpkin image from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel.  I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP bridge to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the bridge to the card front using Tear & Tape.  I first adhered the left side then I folded the card flat and adhered the right side.

I stamped the wheelbarrow image from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I cut the image out using my Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies.  I cut the wheel from the Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies out of a piece of the new Brushed Gold Foil Sheet.  I adhered the wheel to the wheelbarrow using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.  On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink.  I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the floral image our using my Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies and adhered it to the top of the wheelbarrow using Glue Dots.  I adhered the wheelbarrow to the right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the back I stamped the cornstalk image from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the top of the Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the back of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the pumpkin image from the Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso Ink.  I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Just so you can see, this card folds flat and fits perfectly in the medium envelope.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  The items for this card will be available for you to purchase on Tuesday August 4th.  Happy Stamping!!

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  I got some yard work done yesterday first thing in the morning.  By 11am I was done and exhausted.  This humidity we have here wears me out when I’m working in the yard.  I have to work today straight through until next Sunday.  I’m hoping next week I won’t have to work as much, we’ll see what happens.

For today I have a sneak peek for you of a new bundle coming in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Items I used will be available on August 4th, YAY!!!  There are some really awesome things in this new catalog.  Here’s my card for today.

I started by adhering a panel of Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the card front to a Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Bumblebee cardstock I stamped 8 oak leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Bumblebee Ink.  On a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock I stamped 8 maple leaves from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink.  On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock I stamped 8 acorns from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink and stamped the tops of the acorns from the Beautiful Autumn in Soft Suede Ink.  I punched all the images out using the Autumn Punch Pack.  Using the largest circle and the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a panel of Soft Suede cardstock to make the wreath base.

I ran some Stampin’ Seal around the wreath base and adhered the leaves and acorns on it the way I liked them.  I had to add a few Glue Dots to hold some of the leaves in place.  I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  On a thin strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Soft Suede Ink and adhered it to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.  I tied a bow using the new 1/8″ Copper Grosgrain Ribbon, from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, leaving the tails long.  I adhered the bow to the wreath using a Glue Dot and adhered 2 leaves to the tails of the bow using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the leaves and acorn images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Ink along the side of the panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leaves and acorn images from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Inks along the bottom of the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  Supplies for this will be available on August 4th.  Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Season of Thanks

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has everyone’s week started off?

I’ve got a fall card for you today using the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and the sponging technique.  Here’s my card.

My colors were inspired by the Sunday Stamps Fall Harvest Challenge #215.  Here are there colors.

I started by placing one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks over a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I sponged the middle of the mask using my Stamping Sponges with Cajun Craze Ink.  I then went around the Cajun Craze with Pumpkin Pie Ink and finished the edges with So Saffron Ink.  I wrapped a piece of the Cajun Craze Lined Thread from the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack around the Very Vanilla panel.

I stamped the large leaf image from the Stampin’ Up Gather Together Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of So Saffron Vellum from the Perennial Essence 12″ X 12″ Vellum Cardstock.  I immediately sprinkled it with my Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I cut the leaf out using the Gathered Leaves Dies.  I cut out Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron leaves using the Gathered Leaves Dies.  I cut out a Cajun Craze/Pumpkin Pie leaf using the Seasonal Layers Dies.   I arranged the leaves how I wanted them and adhered them to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a Cajun Craze Linen Thread Bow from the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack under the leaves using a Glue Dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel.  I added a few silver  Metallic Pearls around the leaves.  I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Basic Gray Ink to the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the small leaf image from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Ink to the bottom of the panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the small leaf image from the Colorful Seasons stamp set across the bottom front of the envelope in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Inks.   I used the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks on the envelope flap and colored it the same as I did for the card front.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping !!
