Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Did you see the Simply Elegant Detailed Pumpkins card I made a couple of weeks ago? You can view it here if you missed it.

I pulled out those lovely detailed dies again to create this beautiful Thanksgiving card. With the alternate colors, it has a much different look to it than the other card I made. The Gilded Gems are one of my favorite embellishments, and I love the way they look on this card!

To begin, emboss a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Old Olive cardstock with the Bark 3D embossing folder. Color a piece of White Crinkled seam binding ribbon with a Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend marker and tie it around the bottom of the embossed cardstock. Adhere to the card base, which is an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock scored at 4 1/4″.

Crop a large detailed die pumpkin from a scrap of Copper Foil paper. Crop the smaller pumpkin from a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Stamp the detailed pumpkin image onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock with Cajun Craze ink and crop with the corresponding die. Glue the copper pumpkin onto the cardfront. Adhere the other two pumpkins with dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.

Crop two of the small pumpkin leaves from a scrap of Mossy Meadow cardstock and glue to the card front to the right of the pumpkins, over the ribbon.

Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp the greeting onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and crop with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Adhere to the top of the card front with dimensionals.

Add a large and two medium Gilded Gems to the card front. Refer to photo for placement.

For the inside of the card, adhere another 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Old Olive cardstock to the inside of the card. Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp the sentiment onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of very vanilla cardstock. Stamp the small vine/flower image onto the lower-left corner of this piece with Mossy Meadow ink. Color the leaf and vines with Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and the flower with Dark Daffodil Delight. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Decorate the lower-left corner of the envelope by repeating the vine/flower image as you did for the inside of the card.

Pumpkins and Changing Season

Have I mentioned that Fall is my favorite season? If you don’t know the answer to that, you haven’t been following me for long! 🙂

I’m offering another card here using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle that I’ve combined with the Welcoming Woods stamp set. I love how it turned out!

To duplicate this card, you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Cajun Craze – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Crumb Cake – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Second Layer (front): Very Vanilla – 4″ x 3 1/4″
Second layer (inside): Very Vanilla – 5″ x 3 3/4″
Pumpkins: Scrap of Very Vanilla

Assembly:

Embossing one piece of the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder and adhere to the card base. Make sure the grain of the bark is going up & down and not side to side.
Use Crumb Cake ink to stamp the tree image from the Welcoming Woods stamp set onto the 4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. NOTE: Stamp off once on a piece of scrap paper so the image is more subtle than with full-strength ink. Using Cajun Craze ink, stamp the small leaf image twice over the trees to resemble falling leaves. Refer to photo for placement. Adhere this piece to the card front using dimensionals.
Stamp the pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Cajun Craze ink. Color the pumpkins with Light and Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends, Light and Dark Crumb Cake for the stems, and Light and Dark Old Olive for the leaf. Crop with the corresponding die. Fussy cut the two smaller pumpkins and adhere them to the card front with dimensionals, very slightly overlapping the smaller one on top of the larger one. Refer to photo for placement.

For the inside:

Adhere the remaining piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to the inside of the card.
Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp the sentiment and falling leaves onto the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock then adhere to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

Use Cajun Craze ink to stamp the falling leaves image onto the lower-left corner of the envelope.

For more inspiration using this stamp set, be sure to view my other tutorials and gallery.

FB Live Recap: Blackberry Beauty Projects

Blackberry Bliss is one of my favorite Stampin’Up! colors, especially for Fall projects. I was so excited to see a whole suite of products in the July-December Mini-Catalog featuring this color! I absolutely love the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Paper. The gold foil accents in the paper just make the colors that much more rich-looking. The coordinating stamp set is the Beauty of Tomorrow, and it has lovely images.

Simply Elegant Detailed Pumpkins

Adding to my series of cards made with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle, I’ve used some of the detailed pumpkin dies as well as the detailed pumpkin stamp to make this card. Pairing it with the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper and adding a touch of gingham ribbon really make it especially elegant! This card would be appropriate for a Fall birthday card, Thanksgiving card, or just a card to keep in touch.

Here’s the cardstock you will need for this card:

Card Base: Basic Black – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Pumpkins: Scraps of Black Glimmer Paper, Copper Foil, and Very Vanilla
Inside Strips: Basic Black – 4 1/8″ x 3/4″; Very Vanilla – 4″ x 5/8″; Simply Elegant DSP – 4″ x 1/2″

Assembly:

Layer the large piece of Designer Series Paper onto one of the pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock. Adhere a length of Black and White Gingham Ribbon around the front of this piece folding it around to the back side. Refer to photo for placement. Adhere this piece to the card base.
Crop the tall detailed pumpkin out of Black Glimmer Paper. Crop the smaller pumpkin from the Copper Foil. Stamp the detailed pumpkin image onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pumpkin Pie ink. Glue the black pumpkin onto the card front. Use dimensionals to attach the other two pumpkins to the card front. Refer to photo for placement of pumpkins.
Make a small bow with a piece of the Black and White Gingham ribbon and attach to the black pumpkin just under the stem with a glue dot.
For the inside, stamp the greeting onto the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pumpkin Pie ink.
Layer the Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Simply Elegant DSP near the top of the piece. Attach the completed piece to the inside of the card.
If desired, stamp a pumpkin or leaf image to the lower-left corner of the envelope.

FB Live Recap: Color & Contour Cards Plus a Mini Triangle Treat Box

The Color & Contour bundle is one of the new products in the annual catalog that I purchased a few months ago but haven’t played with until this week. The images in it are quite simple but are very pretty, and you can choose to use the solid stamps to color your images or just use the coloring tools of your choice to color the flowers.

For my samples, I used Stampin’ Blends to color the pink flower and leaves. For these projects, I also used some of the different patterns of the Expressions in Ink DSP as well as Gold Foil to embellish each card and the treat box. One thing that I love about the treat box is that it only takes one 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Paper to make the box, and they make up very quickly!

For the pink flower card you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Magenta Madness – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer (front): Expression in Ink Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Stamped Piece: Basic White – 4 1/4″ x 3″
Embellishments: Scraps of Magenta Madness, Expressions in Ink (dark green/foil), Gold Foil
Inside Layer: Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4 “
Inside Strips: Magenta Madness – 4″ x 3/4″; Expressions in Ink DSP – 4″ x 5/8″

For the cards with the three flowers you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Pale Papaya – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer (front): Expressions in Ink DSP (Pale Papaya print) – 5 3/8″ x 3 1/2″
Flowers: Basic White – 2 1/4″ x 6 1/2″
Leaves: Gold Foil scraps
Inside Layer: Basic White – 5 1/3″ x 4 1/8″
Inside Strips: Pale Papaya – 5 3/8″ x 5/8″; Expressions in Ink DSP – 5 38″ x 1/2″

Here’s what you need for the mini triangle treat box:

Designer Series Paper – 6″ x 6″, score at 7/8″, 2 1/2″,4″ 5 1/2″; turn and score the next side at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/2″. For this project, I used one of the flowered patterns of Expressions in Ink DSP, but you can make it using any 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP that you like. It’s a great way to use up some of your stash!
Greeting: Scrap of Basic White
Leaf: Scraps of Gold Foil

The products I used for these projects are listed below. If you would like to add any of these to your craft collection, you can shop with me here. I appreciate your support as it helps me to provide you with ideas for current products. For the mini treat box, I also used a retired corner punch.

Pretty Pumpkins for a Friend

When I started playing with the Pretty Pumpkins bundle, I fell in love with the Fall season all over again, not that I needed a nudge – Fall is my favorite season! Did you see my post last week using this set? Here’s another card using this set along with the Grapevine dies. I think you’ll agree that it is gorgeous!

Cut the cardstock as follows:

Card Base: Cajun Craze – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Decorative Strip: Regals Designer Series Paper (Cajun Craze) – 5″ x 3/4″
Pumpkins: Scraps of Very Vanilla
Vines: Scraps of Mossy Meadow

Assembly:

Stamp the sentiment onto the upper left side of one of the larger pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink. Adhere the DSP strip to the bottom of this piece.
Use Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the longer vine/flower image to the left side of the Very Vanilla cardstock just slightly above the DSP. Stamp the smaller vine/flower image near the right side. Color the leaves and stems with Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends markers and the flowers with Dark Daffodil Delight. Adhere this piece to the card base.
Stamp the pumpkin image twice onto scraps of Very Vanilla cardstock using Cajun Craze ink. Color the pumpkins with Light and Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends, the stems with Light and Dark Crumb Cake, and the leaves with Light and Dark Old Olive. Crop the images with the coordinating die from the Detailed Pumpkins dies. Fussy cut the two smaller pumpkins from one of the images and use dimensionals to place them directly on top of the other pumpkins image. Attach this to the card front with dimensionals slightly overlapping the stamped vine/flower images.
Using the large vine die from the Grapevine dies, crop one vine from Mossy Meadow cardstock. Cut a small portion of the vine and attach to the card front with glue, tucking the end under the right side of the pumpkins. Crop the smaller leaf from the Detailed Pumpkins dies and glue it to the card front to the left of the pumpkins on top of the DSP strip. See photo for placement.
Adhere a few of the bronze color Brushed Metallic Adhesive Baked Dots to the front of the card Refer to photo for placement.
For the inside of the card, stamp the small vine/flower image onto the lower-left corner of the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Color as you did for the front of the card. Stamp a sentiment of your choice onto this piece, or leave it blank to write your own message. Adhere to the inside of the card.
Decorate the lower-left corner of the envelope with the small vine/flower image as well and color as you did for the card.

Check back here next week when I will be posting another card using the other images and dies from this set!

FB Live Recap: Cards “To Die For”!

Making cards often follows a predictable pattern. Stamps, color, punches, and die cuts are the tools of choice – not that there’s anything wrong with that! There’s a set of dies that are in the annual catalog called “Iconic Dies.” They seem to be orphans since there’s no particular stamp set that coordinates with them. With that in mind, for my Facebook Live video this week I’ve used the Iconic Dies to create three different cards to show you the versatility of this set even when used all by itself. There are a variety of dies in the set so each card has a totally different look to it.

For the “Mushroom” card, you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Crushed Curry – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Cajun Craze – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Die Cut Pieces: Scraps of Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, and Copper Foil

For the “Bird” card, you will need the following cardstock:

Card Base: Cinnamon Cider – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Pale Papaya – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Die Cut Pieces: Scraps of Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Polished Pink, and Basic White

For the card with the “Flowers,” you will need the following:

Card Base: Garden Green – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First layer: Crumb Cake – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Die Cut Pieces: Scraps of Polished Pink, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight

Pretty Pumpkins and Vines

If you’ve followed me at all, you know that I LOVE the Fall Season! I love the beautiful colors of nature, pumpkins, cider mills, shorter days, crisper air temps, the harvest winding down, the anticipation of the fall and winter holidays. And I love card making and crafting with the Fall season in mind!

One of the beautiful new stamp sets in the new July-December mini-catalog is the Pretty Pumpkins set, and I chose it to make this card, which is a great card for a special friend or family member and is also perfect for Thanksgiving. I also used some of the dies from the Forever Grapevine bundle, which is in the annual catalog. I hope you like this card as much as I do!

You will need the following cardstock cut as below:

Card Base: Old Olive – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Pumpkin Pie – 5″ x 3 3/4″
Third Layer: Crushed Curry DSP (Regals DSP) – 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″
Pumpkins: Very Vanilla – 3″ x 2 1/2″
Leaves and Tendrils: Scraps of Mossy Meadow

Assembly:

Layer the Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie and DSP layers onto the card front.
Stamp the pumpkins onto the small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Memento ink. Color the Pumpkins with Stampin’ Blends, using Dark Daffodil Delight, then Light and Dark Pumpkin Pie. Use Light Crumb Cake and Light Soft Suede for the stems and Light and Dark Old Olive for the leaves. Crop with the corresponding die, then adhere to the card front with dimensionals. See photo for placement.
Crop the large vine and two tendrils from the Grapevine dies out of Mossy Meadow cardstock. Crop two small leaves from the Detailed Pumpkins dies out of Mossy Meadow cardstock. Attach the vines and leaves to the card front using glue and dimensionals for one of the leaves. See photo for placement.
Place a few small Gilded Gems on the card front to add a little bling.
For the inside, stamp the sentiment onto the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink. Stamp the larger vine/flower image onto the lower right corner of this piece using Mossy meadow ink. Color the leaves with Light and Dark Old Olive and the flower with Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, stamp the smaller vine/flower image onto the lower-left corner of the envelope using Mossy Meadow ink. Color with Light and Dark Old Olive and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

Here are all of the products I used for this card. The Pretty Pumpkin bundle will be available for purchase beginning August 3rd, and the order number is #156478. I’m unable to add it to the following product list until it is available.

FB Live Recap: To The Moon Trio

I wanted to switch up my Facebook Live video this week, so I pulled out the To The Moon stamp set, which seems to be overlooked in the annual catalog. The images of the moon really are quite nice, and I foresee that I will be using the large image for Halloween cards and Christmas cards as well!

If you missed the video, you can watch the replay here. Join me every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET for a video where I demonstrate a few projects, tips, and techniques.

The fun-fold card is quite simple and quick to make. I also demonstrated a quick technique when making shaker cards that takes less time than when we have made them in the past. For the phases of the moon card, I used some of the new Silver Foil Specialty Paper and it makes a lovely addition to the theme of the card.

Here’s the cardstock requirements for the fun-fold card:

Card Base: Night of Navy – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ & 2 1/8″
Front Flap: Regals Night Of Navy DSP – 5 3/8″ x 2″
Moon: Basic White – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
Inside: Basic White: 5 1/4″ x 4″

For the phases of the moon card, you’ll need the following:

Card Base: Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Silver Foil Specialty Paper (medium color) – 5″ x 3 3/4″
Stamped Layer: Basic White – 4″ x 3″
Greetings: Basic White 1/2″ x 4″, cut two
Inside (First Layer): – Night Of Navy – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Inside(Second layer):– Basic White 5″ x 3 3/4″

For the Shaker Card the following cardstock is needed:

Card Base: Misty Moonlight – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Moon: Basic White – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″

The supplies I used for these cards are listed here. Please note that the Silver Foil Specialty Paper and the Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins will not be available until August 3rd, so I am currently unable to add them to the list – however, the product number for the Silver Foil Paper is #156457 and the Cute Star Sequins is #156484. Should you wish to purchase any of the other products, you can shop with me here. As always, thank you for choosing me as your Stampin’Up! demonstrator!
