Stampin with Shirley G

This beautiful Fall card I am sharing today was created using Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set and Dies.  Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper is also used. I like creating Stack-Slice-Shuffle cards. You get to use up all that DSP that you will end up hoarding.

Cut three pieces of Early Espresso cardstock 4″ x 5-1/4″.  These are the mats for the Stack – Cut- Shuffle pieces.  Stack the three pieces of Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper.  Look at the photo above to see how the stack is cut.  Come over from the right side about 1-1/4″. Place the piece in the track of the paper trimmer at the 1-1/4″. Swivel the piece so that there is about 3/4″ at the bottom of the piece in the track. Cut down from the 1-1/4″ to the bottom having 3/4″ at the bottom.  See photo.  Look at the photo and see how the other two pieces will be cut.

Lay the pieces out so they are still in a stack as you cut. Place a piece of each design on the Early Espresso cardstock mats.  You can see the three cards this technique can create, looking at the photo above.  Adhere the pieces to the Early Espresso cardstock mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere the Early Espresso pieces to the card bases using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The greetings are from my stash, I do not remember the stamp set, as I usually stamp a bunch of greetings to have on hand.

Stamp the pumpkin and acorn images from Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set in Early Espresso ink.  Color the images using Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Darling Duckling, Pumpkin Pie, and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends.  Die-cut the images using dies from the Amber Autumn Dies.  Pop the pumpkin and leaves from the acorn image on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set in Cajun Craze ink on a Basic Beige cardstock panel.  Stamp the pumpkin image using a stamp from the September Fall For Toile Paper Pumpkin.  Adhere the piece to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Adhere a piece of Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Very Vanilla envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 I am happy you stopped by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards, and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my creations with you each day. I hope and wish you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Have a blessed day!

• Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. 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!
