Stampin’ Up! Falling Leaves — Timeless Textures

Stampin’ Up! Falling Leaves — Timeless Textures

WELCOME!

Happy Friday!  Are you ready for a fantastic fall week-end.  Beautiful here where I live.  This is my favorite time of the year. I just want to be outside taking walks and enjoying the beauty that God created for us to enjoy.  Have a great week-end–watching college football.  The Dawgs have to do better this week than they did last week.

There are two cards to encourage or inspire you in  your own creative journey.  Have fun whatever  you do.

I thought I would play along with Sunday Stamps, Amy’s card encouraged me.  Yeah! I managed to do three.

Also, Twofer Card Challenge Harvest, I sure hope my two cards are different enough to be considered different.

And for #3  the Creative With Stamps Challenge #31 Halloween or Leaves.

This first card has a card base of So Saffron with a mat of Cajun Craze and  Grapefruit Grove and then a split mat of Pool Party and Whisper White that has been embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. The Pool Party side has been embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. 

One leaf has been cut using the Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies and the other has been cut using the Seasonal Layer Thinlits.    Bling has been added in the way of  Basic Jewel Pearls colored with Stampin’ Blends Mango Medley and Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

The second card to make this qualified for the Twofer’s Challenge

has a base of Whisper White 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. The mat is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel cut from one of  the Copper Foil  sheets.  You only want an outside border and do not need the full sheet, so a panel was cut from the center leaving a 3/4″ border all around so as to have enough space to adhered the art sheet to the Copper Foil panel.   

The Whisper White  art piece on the Thank You card has been stamped, stamping off once on a scrap of paper before stamping on the art piece, using the Timeless Textures stamp set and Sahara Sand.  The leaves were cut using the Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies and the Seasonal Layer  Thinlits .  A leaf mat of Pool Party was made for two of the leaves. Those leaves were cut using the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper and Mango Medley card stock.  A Cajun Craze mat was cut for the Pool Party Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies.

The Thanks You is from the Vertical Greeting stamp set and is stamped using Versa Mark and heat embossing with Gold Embossing Powder.

The inside sentiment is from the Hanging Garden stamp set and is stamped using Versa Mark Ink and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  A  leaf  with the sentiment stamped on it was cut using a die from the Seasonal Layer Thinlits and then adhered to the spot it was cut from.  The sentiment panel was also stamped using the Timeless Textures stamp set.

My hope is that you liked  the cards today and found encouragement and inspiration.

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Bliss

Welcome!

At first I thought this stamp set would be a bust, but I am finding  that it is really great and I am really liking the cards made using it.

Since this is a thank you card, I decided to play along with the fun at the CAS ON FRIDAY Challenge.

This is really an easy and simple card.   The base is Whisper White cut 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″.   The Tranquil Tide mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″.  The Whisper White art piece is 3-3/4″ x 5″.  This is the piece that has the die cut from the Botanical Bliss Bundle.  The art piece is adhered to the Tranquil Tide mat with Liquid Glue.   There was 4 Thanks greetings die cut and adhered together to give some dimension. It is adhered with Liquid Glue to the art piece.  My thanks is different than the one listed in the list of products.  It is an old, old die from years past, but wanted you to know that Stampin’ Up! has one that you can purchase.  I could not find my Thank You, so I had to settle for this one as I wanted to use a die cut for the Thanks.

The inside sentiment panel is die cut like the front art piece.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Bella and Friends. The die cut was extended to make a mat for the art piece.  The sentiment piece looks almost as good as the front panel of the card.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My hope is that you found something to encourage or inspire you in your creative endeavors.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used In Creating This Card


Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop-Give Thanks

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop-Give Thanks

Welcome!  Here it is the second Tuesday of October and you know what happens on the second Tuesday of each month.  Our team gets together, and we have a team blog hop.  We have some new members joining us this month and that is so great, makes for more beautiful cards to view created by the talented ladies on our team.

The card today is created using several stamp sets, Colorful Seasons stamp set and dies, Pleasant Pheasants, Happy Scenes a really retired Stampin Up set and the Woodlands Embossing Folder along with the Merry Christmas Dies.  The card base is Early Expresso with a Pumpkin Pie mat. The main Crumb Cake mat is embossed using the Woodlands Embossing Folder.  A pumpkin was stamped on the folder before embossing.

Though this is our monthly Team  Blog Hop, I am entering the card in the Paper Players PP413 Challenge for this week.

The leaves are cut using the Framelits Dies from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper.  One leaf is stamped and then die cut.  The bow is a Mary Deatherage bow.  She is the one who showed us how to make it.  The bow is adhered to the bunch of leaves with a Glue Dot.

The Pumpkin is colored using Pumpkin Pie  and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  The greeting  is stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a scrap of So Saffron and then cut using the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies.  It is popped on the Woodlands panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Faceted Dot is attached to the corner of the greeting label.

The inside sentiment is from Pleasant Pheasants stamp set. It is stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a panel of Whisper White and to give the inside panel art work, a scene from the stamp set Happy Scenes was stamped at the bottom of the sentiment panel. Watercolor pencils were used to color the scene.

Thanks for stopping by.  My wish is that you found encouragement and inspiration for your creations.  Return often.

Stampin Up! Colorful Seasons

Stampin Up! Colorful Seasons

I love how this card turned out.  My goal was to make a simple fall type card for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge this week.  I used the Stampin Up! Colorful Seasons and Pleasant Pheasant stamp set.

Which looks the best with or without the jewel embellishments?

I started by cutting a panel of Thick Whisper White cardstock and coloring it with different watercolor pencils in fall colors–Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Expresso.  I then used an Aqua Painter to wet the paper well and using the brush tip I swirled the water all around to mix up the colors to make them more fall color looking.   I put this panel aside to dry  while completing other parts of the card.  Leaves will be cut from this panel when it is dry.

My card base is square 5-1/4 x 5-1/4 in Daffodil Delight.  I cut a mat from Early Expresso 5 x 5 and adhered to the card base.  A panel of Whisper White 4-3/4 x 4-3/4 was put through the Big Shot using the Subtle Embossing folder.  The leaves, once cut using the Seasonal Layer Thinlits that coordinates with the Colorful Season stamp set, will be adhered to this panel.

The inside sentiment panel is matted with and Early Expresso mat.  The sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.  I added the pumpkin and sunflower bucket from the Pleasant Pheasant to the sentiment panel.

Cuts for this card will be at the very end of this post.
