Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend!! What kind of fun plans do you have in the works this weekend? I’ll be working all day today and I’m sure it’ll be another slow day. Everyone seems to be on vacation or not doing much work around the house since it’s so hot and humid here.

Today’s card is a super easy one playing with a new bundle and DSP coming next month. Here’s my card for today.

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle and Painted Patch Designer Series Paper (both available Sept 1), I also used the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder and Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set for my card today.

Emboss the Cajun Craze, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Timid Tiger strips using the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder. Adhere the 4 strips to the Basic White panel, 2 vertical and 2 horizontal, doing a basket weave with the strips on the right side of the panel.

Stamp the sentiment from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the open area of the Basic White panel. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Using the Painted Pumpkins Dies, cut multiple tendrils and leaves from a panel of Lost Lagoon and cut the pumpkins from the panel of Painted Patch DSP. Arrange the pumpkins and tendrils over the crossed strips with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Painted Patch Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pumpkin image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image with Timid Tiger Stampin Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.

Stamp a couple of the pumpkins from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Color the images with Cajun Craze and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the tendrils and leaves from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set on the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon Ink and color them with Lost Lagoon 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!!
