Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be getting out of work early today to go to a baseball game with my co-workers We have a minor league team about 10 minutes from my house, the Somerset Patriots. They are affiliated with the New York Yankees. The games are so much fun and even more fun when there’s a whole group. I believe there about 50 of us going, employees with their families. Once the game is over they put on a wonderful display of fireworks, and we’ll have the box seats this year to watch them from.
I played with Online Exclusive products again for today’s card and kept it very simple with Basic Beige and Basic Gray. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Bundle from the Online Exclusives for my card today.
Emboss a Basic Beige card front using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere the Embossed panel to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue.
Stamp the large leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink. Cut the leaves out using the Changing Leaves Dies and Changing Leaves EF together. From a small panel of Basic Beige, cut 4 of the sprigs using the Changing Leaves Dies. From a panel of Basic Gray cut 2 of each of the detailed leaves from the Changing Leaves Dies. Snip the large leaf using Paper Snips. Adhere the stamped leaves to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the sprigs and detailed leaves using Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies. Adhere the sentiment between the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Basic Gray Pearls to the card front.
On the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. Stamp the large leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base,
To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the large leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set on the envelope front, stamping off on scrap paper. Stamp the large leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on 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!!
