Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower for Fun Fold Friday.

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. Amy and I arrived in GA yesterday for our retreat. We headed to Mary’s and then drove with Mary and Janet up to the cabin. The fun started immediately when everyone started to arrive. It was so exciting seeing everyone again. Once we all got unpacked, we set up our stations in the craft room. Everyone was passing out their little gifts to each other and the chatting and laughing began. Before we knew it, it was time for a delicious dinner of Beef Lasagna, Roasted Broccoli, Lemon-Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Honey-Garlic-Siracha Cauliflower and of course Garlic Bread. We had an amazing Creme Brulé for dessert. We sat around the table for a few hours after dinner and laughed till our sides were aching.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today focusing mainly on the embossing folder. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Sunflower 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set along with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Wrap a Basic Beige belly band around the card and adhere the ends in the front. Wrap a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the belly band 3 times and tie a bow. Stamp the sentiment on a panel of Basic Beige in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Bronze Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, cut a panel of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Adhere the sentiment to the Metallic mat then to the belly band. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Banners

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. We have switched to beautiful weather here in NJ. We went from the 90’s last week down to the 70’s this week. It’s a fall tease before the temps go back up.

I played with the new bundle from the Online Exclusives coming in September today. I am loving all these new products so much already and I haven’t gotten everything yet. 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! Gathering Moments Banners 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Gathering Moments Bundle and Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper (both available Sept 3rd), along with the Party Banner Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to a Cajun Craze mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the 8th largest Party Banners Dies, cut 2 panels of Gathering Together DSP. Adhere the banners together using Glue Dots. Adhere the banners to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the larger leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set in Basic Beige Ink. Stamp the smaller leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the panel. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink 2 times on the same panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink on the larger leaf image. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the images out using the Gathering Moments Dies. Make a multi-loop bow using the Old Olive Linen Thread from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack (available Sept 3rd). Cut a piece of 3/8″ Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon so you have the gold edge to tie off the bow to give it a gold touch. Adhere the bow to the card front with a Glue Dot. Adhere the leaves and acorn to the card front over the bow, with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add an Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the larger leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the smaller leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the panel and the acorn image in early Espresso Ink. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up! Gathering Moments Banners 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish your card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the large leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the smaller leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink and the adorn in Early Espresso Ink. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the envelope flap.
