A LITTLE FALL HELLO

Today’s card features the Simply Leaves Bundle along with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder (this is my new favorite embossing folder).  I used my trusty color wheel and selected Monocromatic which gave me the recommendation of: Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Early Espresso.  I also added a little of the Golden Glow which is one of this years in colors.  Now that the first day of Autumn has arrived I thought I needed to work on some fun fall cards to send to friends.  I love how this card turned out.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder and added that to my card.  I stamped two leaves in Pecan Pie onto scraps of Pecan Pie cardstock using the Simply Leaves Bundle and punched them out using the coordinating punch from the bundle.  I did the same with two leaves using Pumpkin Pie cardstock and ink.  Once that was done, I adhered the two leave in pecan pie directly to the left side of my card and then added the two pumpkin pie ones using Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment “A little something to say hello” in Early Espresso Ink onto a piece of Golden Glow cardstock that I die cut using the label die from the Scalloped Blooms Dies.  I added this to the card with Dimensionals. 

I finished the card off with a triple bow made from Linen Thread attached with a Mini Glue Dot.  I also added five of the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the front of the card.  This was a fast and easy card but it looks super cute.

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:

WINTER WISHES

Today’s card features the Frosted Pinecones Bundle.  I have to admit I was thrilled to see this bundle in the September – December Mini Catalog.  First of all I love anything with Decorative Masks and then afterall I am from Pinehurst, North Carolina and the pinecone is kind if our symbol.  I couldn’t wait to get started with this bundle but I did have one thing that was bothering me and that was that Mask #5 was shown using Embossing Paste and I just don’t care for that but then I thought of something else I could do.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼” that I embossed with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder.  Next, I stamped my Pinecone onto Basic White cardstock using the Black Hybrid Ink. 

Now comes the Decorative Masks.  I used Mask #1 and added a layer of Crumb Cake Ink, Mask #2 was used to add a layer of Pecan Pie Ink, Mask #3 was used to add a layer of Early Espresso Ink and Mask #4 was used to add Peaceful Pine Ink.  So here is where I came up with a plan to use something other than Embossing Paste with Mask #5.  I thought about it and tried some Craft White Ink but didn’t like the effect I got.  So, I used a VersaMark Ink pad and just patted it across the Mask to add the ink to the exposed areas.  Once that was done, I added the gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and heat set it.  I was thrilled with the way it turned out. 

I cut out the pinecone with the coordinating die from the bundle and added it to the center of my card using Dimensionals.  Then I stamped my sentiment “winter wishes” onto a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock that measured ¾ x 2 7/8” using Peaceful Pine Ink and added the sentiment across the bottom of the card.  To finish the card off I added three of the Gold Adhesive Backed Dots to the front of it. 

For the inside of the card, I simply used one of the pine branches dies from the dies in the bundle and cut it out of Peaceful Pine cardstock and added that to a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.

FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS

Today’s card features the Noel Tidings Bundle and the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder from the new September – December Mini Catalog.  I decided to do my own spin on one of the cards shown on page 40 of the catalog.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Beige cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I die cut the pine branch oval from the dies in the bundle out of another piece of Basic Beige cardstock and added that to the center front of my card.  Then I used the oval die from the bundle to die cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that I then embossed with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder, I added this to the center of the card.  Then I started my stamping, I stamped everything onto Basic White cardstock.  I stamped three of the thinner pine branches using Peaceful Pine Ink, two of the medium thick branches out of Old Olive and then two more of those out of Pecan Pie Ink.  I stamped three of the little pinecones out of Pecan Pie Ink.  I used the coordinating dies from the bundle and cut everything out. 

To put the card together I started with one each of the Peaceful Pine, Old Olive and Pecan Pie pine branches and added them in a spray to the top and bottom centers of the card.  I added a strip of the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper that measured 1 x 3 ¾” across the center of my card popping it up with Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment “from our home to yours” onto Basic White cardstock using Peaceful Pine Ink and then die cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.  I put one of the Peaceful Pine branches on the top of the DSP along with one of the little pinecones and then added my sentiment over the top.  To finish off the front of the card I added one more of the little pinecones directly to the card and the final one I popped up using a Mini Dimensional.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Merry Christmas” in Peaceful Pine Ink.  In the bottom right I stamped one of the pine branches first generation and two more second generation.

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:

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Today’s card features both the Welcome Noel Bundle and the Noel Tidings Bundle along with the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper featured in the new September – December Mini Catalog.  I fell in love with both of these bundles and immediately started thinking of all the great things I could make with them.  This one was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest and I recreated using some of my own colors and ideas.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Beige cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I embossed a piece of Basic Beige cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder, another new product from the new catalog, and added it to my card base.  I added a piece of the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper that measured 2 x 4” to the left side of the card. 

Then I stamped everything I would need for the card onto Basic White cardstock.  From the Welcome Noel stamp set I stamped the tallest house using Pecan Pie Ink, the smallest house using Crumb Cake Ink and the deer using Early Espresso Ink.  From the Noel Tidings stamp set I stamped two of the pine branches (the thinnest one) using Peaceful Pine Ink, two of the medium thick branches using Old Olive Ink and two of the branches using Pecan Pie Ink.  With everything stamped I used the coordinating dies from each of the two bundles to cut everything out.  I also cut out the flagged sentiment label and a bunch of the holly berries (the die cuts five at a time) out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a wreath from the Welcome Noel Dies out of a scrap of Peaceful Pine cardstock.

To assemble the front of the card I added one of each of the different pine bows on each side along with one of pecan pie stamped branches.  Then I took the holly berries that I had die cut and added just a touch of dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend Marker on each before attaching them to the branches.  With all that adhered to the card I stamped my sentiment “season’s greetings” onto the Cherry Cobbler label I had die cut using Peaceful Pine Ink.  I added the sentiment to the bottom right using Dimensionals.  Next, I added my largest house and then the smaller one using Dimensionals.  To finish off the front of the card I added my deer in front of my large house and the wreath to it’s gable. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the cute little line of houses from the Welcome Noel stamp set onto the bottom (I had to stamp once and then add stamp it part way again so it would go all the way across my card) using Crumb Cake Ink and added a deer I stamped using Early Espresso.  I finished the inside off by adding the sentiment “Merry Christmas” from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink.
