Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ll be leaving on a 6am flight tomorrow morning for a crafting retreat in Georgia. I’m so excited about going and seeing everyone.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #211 is Thankful Blessings. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves in Copper 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Changing Leaves Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper for my Freestyle Collage card today. I was inspired by the copper touches and leaves in the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 211.  How are you inspired by the photos?

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.

Stampin’ Up! Changing Autumn Leaves

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the middle of July already. I feel like I just said happy July. I’m not sure where time is going lately. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I worked, did some cleaning and attended out team meeting via zoom yesterday.

I have a quick CAS card for you today using some Online Exclusive products. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Changing Autumn Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Changing Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #644.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #801. I really like these colors together; they give me a cozy feeling.

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze to the right side of a Crumb Cake panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Night of Navy next to the Cajun Craze panel using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed the layered panel using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Changing Autumn Leaves 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the largest leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Night of Navy Opal Round to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the largest leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, on the Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller leaf image from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to a Cajun Craze mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Changing Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Inks on the envelope front and flap.
