Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi!  I just wanted to take a minute and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!  I so appreciate your support of my small business with your comments and pins of my projects here on my blog.  For those that follow me on Facebook, thanks for your likes and comments there as well!

Beautiful Autumn, Thanks, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini2020

This is a pretty simply card – but I truly love the clean look to it and the pop of the focal circle image.

A 2″ punch i used to create the circle.  Mint Macaron ink is sponged on the edge (you could also just scrape the edge on the ink pad).   The leaves and acorns are punched from the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Specialty paper.  The leaves behind the circle and in the corner are stamped in Mint Macaron ink.  The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso.

The base of the card is Thick Very Vanilla measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″.  A piece of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ is first stamped with the small leaf image and then embossed with the Subtle Embossing folder.  The circle is adhered directly to the Very Vanilla layer while the leaves and acorns are attached using mini dimensionals.

This card is for all of you to THANK YOU for your support!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Poinsettias

Hi!  Taking a little break from Fall cards to bring you this set made with the Poinsettia Petals bundle in the August-December mini.

For each of the cards, the base is the Gold Cards and Envelopes featured on page 51 of the August-December mini.  I love the gold edging on these cards and felt it coordinated well with the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper.

Poinsettia Petals, Christmas, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

For this card, I stamped the poinsettia in Soft Suede ink and stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used the two smaller poinsettias to make the one.  The leaves are done with Old Olive ink on Old Olive cardstock.  The sentiment is heat embossed in Gold Embossing Powder and die cut with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly die set.

To “round” the corners of the Designer Series Paper and NOT cover the design in the corners of the base case, I used the Everyday Label punch.  Flip over the punch and stick the corner of the Designer Series Paper into the corner of the punch!

The beaded pearls are the perfect finishing touch for the card.

Here is the 2nd version – just change up the Designer Series background paper:

Poinsettia Petals, Poinsettia Place, Christmas, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

And the 3rd:

Poinsettia Petals, Poinsettia Place, Christmas, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

Changing it up a little more for the next one:

Poinsettia Petals, Poinsettia Place, Christmas, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

Here I used Real Red cardstock and Real Red ink for the poinsettia to coordinate better with the Designer Series Paper.

And lastly:

Poinsettia Petals, Poinsettia Place, Christmas, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

For this one, I used markers to color the Pine branch and pine cone and then fussy cut around them (the die doesn’t get as close I liked, so I trimmed them further with Paper snips).  A little linen thread was used to make a bow for the beaded pearls to sit on.

This suite would be perfect for your Christmas cards and the Gold cards and envelopes the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous paper.  I hope you’ll check it out!

Hi!  Today I have a fun fold card that we did at one of the Mystery Stamp nights I host on-line.   This features products from the Gilded Autumn Suite in the August-December Mini catalog.

Grateful, Fall, Gilded Autumn, Beautiful Autumn, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

Here is the view of the card opened:

Gilded Autumn, Accordian Card, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Fall, #AugDecMini

The base of the card is Very Vanilla and measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.  A piece of Cajun Craze measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ and embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder is adhered to the base.

The accordian fold layer is a piece of Very Vanilla measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 1 1/2″, 3″, 5 1/2″ and 8″.

Designer Series Paper measuring 1 1/4″ x 4″ is adhered to the first panel.  Designer Series Paper measuring 2 1/4″ x 4″ (need 2) is adhered to the 3rd and 4th panels.   A final strip measuring 1/2″ x 4″ is adhered to the right most edge.

A belly band is creating using a 1 1/2″ x 9″ piece of Cajun Craze.  Wrap the strip around the card so that the ends meet in the front.  Attach the ends to each other with a piece of Tear and Tape.

To decorate the belly band, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  The leaves and acorn were punched from the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper.

While the card cannot stand up on its own, it is a little something different and a new fold to try.

Beautiful Autumn

Hi!  How are you?  We are in my favorite season of the year and the Beautiful Autumn Bundle captures that perfectly!

Fall, Thanks, Beautiful Autumn, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #AugDecMini

I love this card!  While relatively quick and easy, the square from the Swirly Frames set is perfect to showcase the leaves and acorn.  The images are actually punched from the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper – this paper is just gorgeous and perfect for your fall crafting needs.

The squares are stamped in Early Espresso and die cut with the Stitched Shapes dies.  The sentiment is also stamped in Early Espresso ink.

The base of the card is Very Vanilla Thick cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.

A piece of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ is scored three times starting at 1 1/2″ and 1/8″ apart.

I hope you check out the Gilded Autumn Suite for your fall crafting needs!
