Good Thursday morning stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see the beautiful projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge to work with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

I used the Stampin Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle, Painted Patch Designer Series Paper (both available Sept 1) along with the Stampin Up! Poetic Petals Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Fun For Fall Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our theme for this week. Who doesn’t love a fun fold card.

Adhere the panels of Painted Patch DSP to the coordinating Petal Pink mats. Adhere the larger layered panel to the top portion of the scored Basic White easel card base and the smaller panel to the bottom section of the Basic White easel card base. Adhere the Basic White easel card base to a Petal Pink mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of a Cajun Craze card base.

Using the Painted Pumpkins Dies cut the gate door die from a panel of Petal Pink, multiple tendrils and leaves from a pane of Lost Lagoon and the hinges & handle from a panel of Earthen Toned Metallic paper. Adhere the hinges and handle to the front of the gate and adhere the tendrils and leave to the gate.

Using the Painted Pumpkins Dies, cut pumpkins from panels of Cajun Craze, Petal Pink and Very Vanilla and the stems from a panel of Pecan Pie. On a panel of Basic White, use the Blending Brush to add Pecan Pie Ink to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the dirt image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the blended section. Stamp the larger sentiment from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the Basic White panel. Adhere the die cut pumpkins, tendrils and leaves on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink above the pumpkins so that it’s behind the gate when it’s closed. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat. Adhere the gate to the left side of the panel. Adhere the gated panel to the bottom of the easel card front. Add a few Painted Patch Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiments from Poetic Petals stamp set (available Sept 1) in Cajun Craze Ink. Stamp the sentiment from Fun For Fall stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink between the other 2 sentiments. Stamp the crow image from Fun For Fall stamp set in Black Ink on the sentiment and color the image using Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Blending Brush, add Pecan Pie Ink along the bottom of the panel. Stamp the dirt image from Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink over the blended area. Adhere a few of the die cut pumpkins on the bottom of the panel.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the pumpkin image from the Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Painted Patch DSP to the envelope flap.
