The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop Harvest Time

It's time to hop along with The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop as we showcase Harvest Time for this month's theme. We will be sharing ideas and projects to inspire you to create your own Autumn and Harvest themed projects to celebrate the new season. 

When I think of Fall I think the changing leaves and fields of pumpkins that are common here in Colorado at this time of year. I decided to create a card design that reflected both of these things using the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper combined with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, both from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the Gold Foil detail in this pretty paper and the warm colors that are perfect for this season. 

Products Used:

Beautiful Autumn stamp set

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Brushed Metallic cardstock 

Cajun Craze cardstock

Very Vanilla cardstock

Layering Circles Dies

Gathered Leaves Dies

Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

Gold Embossing Powder

Measurements:

Cajun Craze cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Scored 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper layer  

5 1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla cardstock for Circle die cut

Brushed Metallic cardstock (gold)  

for Circle die cut and detailed leaf die cut

This card design is simple to create but has a beautiful, elegant look to it. The Brushed Metallic cardstock coordinates with the foil details in the background paper and really steps up the design. The detailed leaf was die cut with one of the leaf dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies and I die cut it from the center of the Brushed Metallic cardstock circle to save on cardstock. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder to coordinate with the rest of the design. I added small Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to add a touch of bling without overwhelming the card design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to create your own wonderful projects to celebrate the season using designer series paper. It is a wonderful way to create beautiful cards quickly and simply.

GSF October Blog Hop Changing Seasons

 

Welcome to the GSF October Blog Hop as we explore the theme of Changing Seasons. Here in the U.S. we have said goodbye to Summer and hello to the cooler days of Fall as the leaves begin to change. As you journey along our blog hop, you will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects reflecting the changing seasons in their corner of the world. I hope that our ideas help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.

My card design today showcases the wonderful colors of Autumn combined with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set combined with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I CASEd a card design that I created back in July, but this time I used Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee to create the warmth of Fall. You can see my original card here. I wanted to create a card that would be suitable for Thanksgiving and the sentiment in the Beautiful Autumn stamp set from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog fit the design perfectly. I just love the beautiful font and how well it coordinates with the sunflowers. 

Supplies Used:

Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (item #152517)

Beautiful Autumn stamp set (item #153450)

Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690)

Cinnamon Cider cardstock (item #153078)

Bumblebee cardstock (item #153077)

Very Vanilla cardstock (item #101650)

Cinnamon Cider Classic ink pad (item #153114)

Bumblebee Classic ink pad (item #153116)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Measurements:

Cinnamon Cider cardstock card base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 

(scored at 4 1/4")

Very Vanilla cardstock layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Bumblebee cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4" 

Bumblebee cardstock for label

Very Vanilla cardstock for sentiment label

This clean and simple card design is easy to create and has minimal stamping and supplies. I used Bumblebee Classic ink to stamp the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set onto the Bumblebee cardstock layer. I love the tone on tone look that this creates and the detail of the sunflower image creates a beautiful background. The sentiment has been stamped with Cinnamon Cider Classic ink to coordinate with the card design onto the Very Vanilla label that I die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the labels to add dimension to the card and the Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling without overwhelming the simplicity of this design. It is amazing how different these two cards look just by changing the color combination and this design can be used for a variety of occasions by changing the sentiment.  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own wonderful Fall projects using the many amazing products that Stampin' Up! has to offer.

SBTD 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop Stampers Choice

Welcome to the SBTD August Blog Hop as we celebrate our 3rd Anniversary with a Stamper's Choice theme. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share wonderful projects and ideas to help inspire you. 

 With Fall just a few weeks away, I thought I would share a clean and simple card design using the new Beautiful Autumn Bundle (item #155189) from the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I was inspired by a card design created by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Mary Fish, and I decided to warm up the design with some pretty Fall colors. I used a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers to color the images and I used Early Espresso Classic ink pad to stamp the images to coordinate with the rest of the card design. The sentiment was heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder to add a touch of elegance to the design. 

 The products I chose to create this card design include:
Beautiful Autumn Bundle (item #155189) Save 10%
Includes the Beautiful Autumn stamp set (item #153450)and coordinating Autumn Punch Pack (item #153609)
Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775)
 Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)
Cinnamon Cider 1/4" Ribbon (item #152482)

Measurements
Sahara Sand cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")
Very Vanilla cardstock layer - 5 1/4" x 4" (embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder)
Soft Suede layer - 4 3/8" x 2"
3 Very Vanilla Squares die cut using the smallest square die from the Stitched Shapes Dies
approx. 6" piece of Cinnamon Cider 1/4" Ribbon

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful Fall projects with the wonderful products in the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore.
