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! Warms My Heart Pumpkin 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Warms My Heart Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Scenic Pumpkin Photopolymer Stamp Set and Greetings of the season Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Warms My Heart Pumpkin 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by stamping the grass image from the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a Basic White card front. Stamp the tree image from Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set on the top of the panel in Pecan Pie, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze Inks. Stamp the pumpkins from the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set in Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the panel. Stamp the pumpkin stems and fence from the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Adhere the card front to a Cajun Craze mat then to an Old Olive card base.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the girl carrying the pumpkins image from the Warms My Heart stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Color the image using Boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. Adhere the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up!
