Stampin with Shirley G

The card I am sharing today was created using Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. The paper does most of the work, except for the fussy cutting. Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Stamp Set was used for the greeting and sentiment.  The Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder was used for the embossing.

Card Cuts:

  • easel — 4-1/8” x 9-3/8”  score at 2” and 4”
  • frame — 4-1/4″ x 5″
  • mat — 4″ x 5-1/4″

10. Fussy cut pumpkins and leaves from Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper.
11. Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up Branching Out Stamp Set in Early Espresso ink and then Versa Mark ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Sprinkle WOW Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped words and heat emboss using a heat tool.

13. Pop the frame over the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals
14. Arrange the pumpkins and leaves, then adhere using glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

17. Adhere the Pecan Pie cardstock embossed panel to the lower portion of the easel.
18.  Pop three Pressed Flower Motif gems around the Pecan Pie panel.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches, and the Online Exclusives we get to order before they are released to customers.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!
