Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

I had so much fun putting this card together. I know I’ve said before how very much I love summer. It’s my favorite time of the year. There’s something about fall cards though that I absolutely love. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set (available Sept 3rd) and the Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Cut 12 of the smallest squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies from Basic Beige cardstock. On 4 of the squares stamp the apple image from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp the pumpkin image from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on 4 of the squares. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the last 4 squares. On 2 of the apples and 2 of the acorn images, stamp the smiley face from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. On 2 of the pumpkin images stamp the Jack-o-Lantern face from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Color the images with Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Real Red and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Adhere the squares with the acorn images to the Early Espresso squares with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the squares with the apple images to the Real Red squares with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the squares with the pumpkin images to the Timid Tiger squares with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered squares to a Basic Beige mat with Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to an Early Espresso mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic Beige card base with Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiments from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Cut the ends of the Early Espresso strip into banners using snips. Adhere the sentiment to the Early Espresso banner with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Streaked Dots (available Sept 3rd), to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the apple and pumpkin images from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the smiling face from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the apple and acorn images. Stamp the Jack-o-Lantern face from the Choose Happy stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the pumpkin image. Color the images with Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Real Red and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic beige panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the apple and pumpkin images from the Choose Happy stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front and flap. Color the images with Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Real Red and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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