Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Pumpkin Party.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Pumpkins 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Bundle for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and all the cute pumpkins.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #183.  How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Pumpkins 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the stamped images out using the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. I cut 3 of the detailed pumpkins from 3 different panels of Silver Foil Paper. I cut 3 stems from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and 5 vines from a panel of Old Olive cardstock. I colored the stamped pumpkins using my Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the detailed pumpkins together using Glue Dots. I adhered the pumpkin stems to the back of the Silver Foil Pumpkins using Glue Dots. I adhered the vines to the pumpkins using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folders. I adhered the Silver Foil pumpkins to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped pumpkins using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
