A FALL HELLO

Today’s card features the Simply Leaves Bundle.  I was asked by my team leader to present four cards for our monthly team meeting using the Simply Leaves Bundle.  While I was creating with the bundle I realized just how versitle it is so expect lots more posts using it. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Golden Glow cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Cajun Craze cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” and to that I added a layer of the 2026 – 2028 In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper (I chose to use the Golden Glow paper) that measured 3 ¾ x 5”.  I stamped one of the leaves from the stamps in the bundle onto three scraps of cardstock.  The first was stamped with Cajun Craze Ink onto a scrap of Cajun Craze cardstock (I love the tone-on-tone look), next was one stamped in Pumpkin Pie Ink onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the final one was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink onto a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  I used the coordinating punch to punch each of the leaves out.

I added my leaves using Dimensionals keeping them to the left side of the card.  Next, I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock to 1 x 3 1/8” and stamped the sentiment “A little something to say hello” onto it using Cajun Craze Ink, once the stamping was done, I flagged the end of the sentiment.  To finish off the front of the card I added a bow made of Linen Thread and attached it using a Mini Glue Dot.  Three of the 2026- 2028 In Color Dots (I chose to use the Peaceful Pine ones) finished off the card perfectly. 

For the inside I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped one of the leaves in Pumpkin Pie in the right corner and added a little strip of the DSP that measured ½ x 5”.  This was a really simple and fast card and could be recreated in numerous different colors easily.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

HOT FOIL ON WINDOW SHEET

Today’s card features both the Botanical Glow and Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies along with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.  I had seen a video where Stampin’ Up! had used one of the hot foil dies on a Window Sheet and couldn’t wait to give it a try.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added it.  I cut a piece of Window Sheet to 4 x 5 ¼” and foiled it using the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die and silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll.  (I love how it turned out).  I rolled out about 6” of the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and attached it to a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 3 ½ x 6”. 

When I had it all nice and adhered to the cardstock, I used the Extraordinary Flora Die to cut it apart (it leaves you with a bunch of flowers and foliage which I keep in a little clear envelope in with the set for quick cards.  I decided where I was going to add the washi tape flowers on the window sheet and used Dimensionals to attach them.  Next, I foiled the “thank you” from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll and die cut it out with the coordinating die.  I placed this on the center of my window sheet piece and popped it up with dimensionals. 

I adhered my window sheet to my card being sure to keep the adhesive behind the flowers and words so that it would not show through the window sheet.  For the inside and envelope I added another spray of flowers cut from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

BEGONIA SUNSHINE

Today’s card features one of the Products of the Month, Begonia Belle.  This stamp set was the July 2026 Product of the Month, however, it is still available while supplies last for just $5 with a qualifying $75 purchase.  I have had a lot of fun with this cute two step stamping set.  So today I wanted to make a card I could send just because, here is what I came up with…

The card base is Flirty Flamingo cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I added a layer of the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper that measures 3 ¾ x 5” (I picked the blue stripped paper).  I grabbed some Basic White cardstock scraps and began my stamping.  I stamped two of the detailed begonia stamps using first generation Flirty Flamingo Ink.  Next, I stamped the second begonia stamp (the one that adds overall color) again using Flirty Flamingo Ink but this time I stamped it off once before adding it to the flowers.  I stamped three of the begonia leaf’s by stamping the detailed stamp onto scraps of Basic White cardstock using first generation Garden Green Ink.  Then I stamped the overall stamp again with Garden Green Ink and again for this stamp I stamped off fist. 

I fussy cut out my flowers and leaves.  I added the two flowers using Dimensionals and then just tucked the three leaves under them a little adhering them directly to the card.  I stamped the sentiment “YOU ARE MY Sunshine” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Flirty Flamingo Ink and die cut it using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies (reminder:  you can stamp and simply cut the sentiment into a rectangle or fussy cut around it, you do not have to have a die to make a sentiment).  I added it with Dimensionals.  I also added three of the Sparkle Dot Essentials (they are retired now but there are lots of great embellishments out there, plus don’t forget to check your stash). 

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the little flower buds in the corner using Flirty Flamingo Ink and then added the stem and leaf using Garden Green Ink.  I stamped the same thing on the envelope.

FLUTTERING IN TO SAY GET WELL

Today’s card features the Butterfly Flight and Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies along with the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper.  I have been having a blast using the new hot foil system and the great dies that are available for it.  Afterall, everyone loves a little shine and blight right?

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper (I loved this rose pattern) to 4 x 5 ¼” and mounted that onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 1/8 x 5 3/8”.  Once those two pieces were attached to one another, I added them to the front of the card with Dimensionals. 

For my butterflies I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and a piece of the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll to 3 ½ x 4 ½” and I used the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies to foil the butterflies onto the white cardstock (Stampin’ Up! has a great video on how the Hot Foil System works on YouTube).  With the butterflies foiled I grabbed the Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks and went to work coloring my butterflies (I love using these masks it makes coloring so easy).  Using Blending Brushes I started with mask 1 and added Barely Blush Ink, then onto mask 2 I added Bubble Bath Ink, for mask 3 I added Strawberry Slush Ink.  I love how the butterflies came out.  Next, I simply used the coordinating die that comes with the Butterfly Flight bundle and cut out my butterflies.  I took a scrap of Basic White cardstock and a scrap of Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil and foiled the sentiment “get well” from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies.  I used Dimensionals to pop up the greeting as well as three of my five butterflies.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added the smallest of my butterflies down on the bottom right.  For my envelope I added the last of the butterflies to the flap.
