Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. Here we are again, halfway through the work week and on our way to the weekend.
Today’s card is the type I don’t usually make. CAS with no layers. I don’t remember the last time I made one of these. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle for my card today.
I played along with The Paper Players Challenge #662.
I also joined in with Aud Sentiments Challenge #306, Ink Blending and/or a Fall/Thanksgiving + a Sentiment.
I entered my card in CAS of Friday Challenge #268 Autumn.
The last one I joined in with is Inspire. Create. Challenge #153 Theme Challenge Autumn/Halloween.
I started by using Post-It Note Tape and making the edges of a Very Vanilla card base. I placed the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask over the card base and secured it with tape so it wouldn’t move.
I started with my Small Blending Brush and Crushed Curry Ink, adding ink all over the card base. I then added some Pumpkin Pie Ink using my Small Blending Brush going more around the edges. I added a small amount of Cajun Craze Ink with my Small Blending Brush next. Lastly, I added Old Olive Ink using the Small Blending Brush just in a few places. I removed the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask and the tape from the edges of the card base.
On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the maple leaf die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes, I added some leaves in the corners of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes to add leaves to the envelope front and flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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.

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:
- 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….
- 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.
