Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends 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 Mary’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance DSP, Nested Essentials Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. From a panel of Granny Apple Green, I cut the leaf dies using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a pane of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   WRAGYZRS

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. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

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.

If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Pretty Peacock card front using the Distressed Tile EF. I adhered the card front to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 3 panels of All About Autumn DSP on an angle and adhered them to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Calypso Coral, Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Moody Mauve, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Moody Mauve, I cut the sentiment using the Rustic Crate Dies and adhered it to the card front. I added a few 2023-2025 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin/sunflower image from the Rustic Crate stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope flap and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Crate Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Fall Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends, Happy October. I can’t believe it’s October already. It’s warming up here in NJ for the next few days so it kind of feels like we should be back to August. I’m guessing this is our Indian summer that we get every year. I hope your weekend is going well. I’ll be at work all day today getting the bills ready to mail out.

I have a quick card for you today playing with products from the Annual Catalog that I haven’t played with in a while. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Around The Bend Dies, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of all About Autumn DSP using the Around The Bend Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Bend stamp set on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel in Copper Clay Ink.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the Leaf Fall EF. I adhered the die cut DSP” to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and ties a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay card base using Stampin’ Dimensonals. I added a few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the scraps that came off the bottom of the die cut card front, I cut the leaves from Around The Bend Dies and adhered them to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Copper Clay card base.

Stampin' Up! Around The Bend 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from Around The Bend stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on the envelope front, stamping off on scrap paper once. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Easel Fold

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. It’s still raining here in NJ. Yesterday was pretty bad with flooding. It took my husband well over an hour to get home because of all the roads closed because of floods. We’re expecting more rain today, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be up in the 80’s again until Wednesday with no rain. Hopefully it will help to dry things up a little and turn the rest of my tomoatoes red.

Today’s card idea I got from a team member of mine Rosie Kean. She made a similar card a few weeks back and I really liked it. I used a couple different techniques on the card using the Blending Brushes and Baby Wipe Technique which is one of my favorites to use in the fall. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made the card, Click Here to see my Instagram Reel. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Aspen Trees Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a Basic White card front using the Aspen Trees Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I took a panel of the Naturally Gilded DSP and using my Blending Brushes added Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks. I adhered the panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Crushed Curry easel card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the die cut embossed card front to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I cut the maple leaf from a panel of Cajun Craze, Oak leaf from a panel of Crushed Curry and Elm leaves from a panel of Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I took 2 folded baby wipes and put them in an empty stamp case. I added drops of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie from Stampin’ Ink Refills. I love this technique for the fall because every leaf comes out different. I inked the large maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set and stamped it on a panel of Basic White. I cut the leaf out using the Autumn Leave Dies and the leaf veins from a panel of Oxidized Copper paper and adhered it to the stamped leaf. I adhered the leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the oak and elm leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Naturals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. I stamped 2 maple leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in the top corners of the panel using the same inked baby wipes. You can see how each leaf stamps differently. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on top of the stamped leaves. I adhered a strip of the Naturally Gilded DSP to the bottom of the panel, which I had brushed Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks on with my Blending Brushes. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base. I added the small die cut maple leaf on the bottom of the panel, where I wanted the easel to stop, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set on the envelope front and flap using the same inked up baby wipes. Once again you can see how every leaf is different. I stamped the leaf veins from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the stamped leaf.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Foliage

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading to the weekend and the end of the month. Another month gone already.

I have another quick card for you today using a host exclusive set. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made the card, click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Host Exclusive Framed Foliage Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set, Gorgeously Made Dies and All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of All About Autumn DSP to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the fall image from the Framed Foliage stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Real red and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the bottom of the panel using the torn edge die from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Cajun Craze, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Gorgeously Made Dies. I adhered a piece of Linen Thread to the center of the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentient over the Linen Thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 5

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic white. I stamped the acorn/leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel and colored it with Crumb Cake and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Stampin' Up! Framed Foliage 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the acorn/leaf image and acorn image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images with Crumb Cake and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings

Good Saturday morning stamping friends welcome to the weekend and HAPPY AUTUMN!!! I can’t believe summer is over. Summer one of my favorite seasons, but I do like spring and autumn and winter too. I’m just a hot weather person. I hope you are getting some plans in the works for the weekend. I’ll be working all day today.

Since it’s Autumn, I only thought it would be appropriate to have a fall card for you today. To see a quick video on how I made this card, click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for the day.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Them Bones Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Cajun Craze card front using the Timeworn Type 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pebbled Path card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I cut the panel of Stargazing DSP partway through, I moved the die so that I would cut a square and cut again from the opposite side. I stamped the splatter image from the Textured Floral stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, all around the panel. I adhered the stamped DSP panel to a Pebbled Path mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Pebbled Path mat using Stamin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Fruitful Blessings Dies I cut the solid corn die from a panel of Cajun Craze, the detailed corn die from a panel of Crushed Curry, the corn husk from a panel of Crumb Cake and the leaves from a panel of Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pebbled Path, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed corn to the solid corn die. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the corn and corn husk using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored the images with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.

Stampin' Up! fruitful Blessings Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope yu were able do to something fun.

Today’s card was a mystery stamping card we made at our stamping studio last Thursday night. We were given all the measurements of cardstock and DSP to cut, and we were talked through putting the card together. Although our cards were the same, they were all different because of the DSP we chose to use. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Pick of The Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set, All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Very Best Trio Punch and Tailor Made Tags Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by rolling the panel of Copper Clay to make a stem. I flatted the bottom of the rolled cardstock and adhered it to the center top of the Pumpkin Pie card base using Tear & Tape. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the Pumpkin Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the 4 corners of the card base using the Very Best Trio Punch.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, on a panel of Basic White 2 times. I cut the leaves out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I cut 2 of the veins dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies from a panel of All About Autumn DSP. I adhered the veins to the leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Tailor Made Dies. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the tag and tied a knot. I tied it around a piece of Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and tied the ribbon into a bow. I adhered the bow and tag to the card front using a glue dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Pumpkin 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pick of The Patch stamp set in Coper Clay Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the 4 corners of the panel using the Very Best Trio Punch. I stamped the pumpkin images from Pick of The Patch stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I stamped the stem image from Pick of The Patch stamp set in Copper Clay Ink on top of the pumpkins. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves in Moody Mauve

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you weekend is going as expected. It’s been a gorgeous one here in NJ. Perfect temperatures with a nice breeze and low humidity. We’ll see what today bring,.I’ll be at the dog bakery all day today.

Today’s card is the last one from last Sunday’s quarterly team meeting. This card was designed by one of my team members Judi Hartbarger. I just love cards with lots of layers and this one is just beautiful. I had a lot of fun making it. If you want to see a quick video on how I made it, click Here for my Instagram reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering an All About Autumn DSP card front to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the All About Autumn DSP to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I embossed the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered a small panel of All About Autumn DSP below the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. From scraps of Copper Clay and Moody Mauve, I cut the leaves and vein using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves and vein to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Gue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Moody Mauve mat using Stampin’ Seal. I folded 2 pieces of the 1″ Natural Ribbon from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack in half and adhered them to the back of the layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, twice on the bottom and once on the top of the panel. I stamped the vein image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink by the leaves. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Moody Mauve mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves in Mauve 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the oak leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the vein image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay Ink next to the leaves. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Blended

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works and the weather cooperates with you; I’ll be working both days this weekend, so I’ll only get to enjoy the beautiful weather we’re supposed to have when I get off of work.

Today’s card is one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. This gorgeous card was designed by one of my team members Tara Carpenter. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timber EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base suing Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. Using the Blending Brushes and Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie Inks, I blended the inks on the 4″ X 4″ panel of Very Vanilla. Using the Autumn Leaves Dies I cut the larger leaves from the blended panel. I stamped the vein images from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set on the coordinating Leaves in Cajun Craze Ink.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I frayed the 2 ends of a piece of the Natural Ribbon from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Very Vanilla. I added a little ink to the edges using a Sponge Dauber. I adhered the circle to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves to the circle using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the sentiment over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I inked up the large maple leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set with Crushed Curry Ink. Using the Sponge Dauber, I added some Cajun Craze Ink around the edges. I stamped the leaf on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the vein in Cajun Craze Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Blended 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Hello for The Card Concpets

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We are already halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend.

We’re back with inspiration challenges from The Card Concepts. We will be doing month-long challenges now.  The inspiration photo #199 is Country Style. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the gorgeous new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set and the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my Clean & Layered card today. I was inspired by the sunflowers in the inspiration photo along with the black & white gingham and red ribbons in the photo. I also kept with their colors too.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 199.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by randomly stenciling the sunflowers using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on a Basic White card front. I used Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry Inks on the sunflowers, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Inks for the sunflower centers and Garden Green Ink for the leaves.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the card front using the Distressed Tile 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Real Red mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon and Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a thin strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the red Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stenciled the sunflowers and leaves using the Abundant Beauty Masks, coloring them the same as I did for the car front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.,

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stenciled the sunflower images from the Abundant Beauty masks on the envelope front and flap the same as I did for the card.
