Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreath Fun Fold

Posted on September 21, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Wednesday! Hello world! It’s our daughter’s birthday today – kid #2 – just had to share that :O) She has taken the day off so I’m hoping we can do something fun with her today. At any rate… happy birthday to our dear Wendy 💖

My card for today is a fall fun fold – do you like that alliteration? It uses Cottage Wreaths bundle (Country Wreaths Dies coordinates), Pumpkin Pie Gingham Cottage DSP, Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon. The banner is die cut with a banner die from Frosted Flurry Dies.

Isn’t this sweet? I’ve stamped the leaves of the wreath in Pale Papaya ink (from Cottage Wreaths stamp set), then the twig portion in Soft Suede ink, then die cut it with the appropriate die from Country Wreaths Dies. I tied a bow with the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya & adhered it with a glue dot. It’s covered with several Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I set this aside to stamp the sentiment… from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White card stock, then die cut it with the larger banner die from Frosted Flurry Dies. I added two more Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and set this aside. The last of the stamping for the card front is the sweet leaves on the banner – stamped in Soft Suede ink from the Country Wreaths stamp set and die cut with Country Leaves Dies. I attached this to the banner with liquid glue.

Now for the card base… Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 11, scored at 4, 5 1/2 & 7. Burnish all score lines well. For the card front, adhere Pumpkin Pie card stock 3 7/8 x 5 3/8, then Gingham Cottage 3 3/4 x 5 1/4. Attach wreath with dimensionals & sentiment banner with dimensionals as well.

For the inside… on the left panel add another piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock then Cottage Gingham in a coordinating pattern. The folded area next to it gets a strip of Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 that was embossed with Stripes embossing folder. The next panel is a strip of Basic White same size embossed with the Splatters embossing folder. Stripes & Splatters embossing folders come in the same set :O) and are mini embossing folders. I use them a LOT. The next panel is Basic White and was embossed just on the left section with the Splatters embossing folder. The only decoration is this leaf stamped in Pale Papaya ink from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set.

For the envelope I used more of the Gingham Cottage DSP for the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit ~ and that was it. Super cute card, love that it stands all by itself for display and can be used as a thank you or just a note or … you decide. The M Fold idea came from New Zealand SU! Demonstrator Jackie.

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White

Posted on September 20, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again… I couldn’t help it – I played with the Joyful Flurry bundle again. I had an idea about making the Wonderful Snowflakes gold and simply HAD to give it a try. And guess what… it worked. First use the embossing buddy to remove any static. Use the VersaMark ink pad to tap onto the snowflake, sprinkle on gold embossing powder and heat set. I heated from the under side of the snowflake. I did have to do this a couple of times for good coverage.

Stampin' Up! joyful Flurry in Gold & White.1

Next I took a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White and the Frosted Flurry Dies to make a card front. Some of the snowflakes in this die set cut all the way through, some do not, but create wonderful designs with some cut-outs. I chose one of those, well two of those :O) I figured out the placement of the now gold Wonderful Snowflake, removed it and ran the Basic White panel through the cut & emboss machine. I punched up from the back all the little designs, then cut a piece of Brushed Metallic Gold to put behind the cut-out snowflake, adhering it to the back of the Basic White with Tear n Tape. I adhered the gold Wonderful Snowflake with a dimensional in the center. To create the banner from the Joyful Flurry stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and heat set – again from behind. It seems to create a nicer finish when heating the gold from the back side. I then used a banner die from the Frosted Flurry Dies to make the banner. I had die cut the remaining snowflake but it needed to be trimmed around the middle to be free to add. At this point I sprayed the card front with a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint & rubbing alcohol. I added three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front. All this was attached to a Thick Basic White A2 card.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White.3

For the inside I again used a sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder, heat set from the back. I spritzed the panel with the same Frost White Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol in the Stampin’ Spritzer. It barely shows in the photo but in person, it does!

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & white.4

On the envelope, I used the Splatters embossing folder (from Stripes & Splatters) to emboss the flap. For the envelope front, I stamped a snowflake from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Memento ink, then filled in all the openings with Wink of Stella. The camera does not capture this well :O( And the card was done. Elegant.

Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry in Gold & White.5

What do you think? do you like the Wonderful Snowflake in Gold embossing powder? I definitely do and may try it in silver embossing powder as well :O).

This stamp bundle – Joyful Flurry and the coordinating Frosted Flurry Dies are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as are the Wonderful Snowflakes. The embossing powder, embellishments and embossing folder all all found in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Christmas

Posted on September 16, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello and good Friday to you! Do you have something fun planned today? Hubby has Kiwanis early; it’s a breakfast club and I’m having a meeting here at home later in the morning. And you know what that means -clean! Hubby is very good at helping me with that so we spent a good part of yesterday morning doing that. I must say – the house looks quite nice – I think I should keep it this way 😁

I’m using a brand new stamp bundle today – new to me anyway. It’s called Very Best Occasions and it has some very fun sentiments. The bundle part is the Very Best Trio Punch – and I must say I’m having fun with it. It has three punches in one but of course I’ve only used the one! Ha! But here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions C'mas.1

Gosh – the sparkle paper doesn’t show up as it should – that the red. It’s Real Red Glimmer paper. It comes as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer paper and it’s wonderful. The background DSP is one of the papers from Boughs of holly DSP and I simply cut it in strips of various widths and adhered them to a Basic White panel. This was also adhered to Evening Evergreen then onto the A2 Soft Succulent card front. The twine is called Threaded Twine ‘cuz it has silver running through it – it adds to the sparkle :O). The red is the glimmer paper. For the sentiment panel… stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White using the Very Best Occasions stamp set, I added a bit of Garden Green marker to the holly leaves then several Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels. And yes, the corners were trimmed with the Very Best Occasions Trio Punch.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions C'mas.2

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink. Then I took the trees from the Trees for Sale stamp set and stamped them in Soft Succulent, stamping off each time before stamping on the card. This Basic White panel was adhered to Evening Evergreen then onto the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Very Best Occasions C'mas.3

For the envelope front I repeated the trees from the Trees for Sale stamp set, stamping in Soft Succulent after stamping off each time. The flap of the envelope got more Boughs of Holly DSP that I felt coordinated well with the card – and the card was done! Easy peasy. If you would like to make this card, you may see all the products listed below – simply click ‘add all to cart’ and complete your info to have it delivered directly to you :O)

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly in a Slimline Fun Fold

Posted on September 13, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning folks! Today’s card is very pretty and just a bit more involved than the tags I shared with you yesterday. And one of the interesting facts about card making is you can make it as simple or as complicated as YOU desire. 😊 This isn’t so complicated as it is layered. It is very pretty and a satisfying card to make. We had a team meeting the other afternoon and this card was designed by one of my teammates. I love it!

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Hololy Fun Fold.1

Let’s begin with the card base of Mossy Meadow 7 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score on the long side at 3 3/4 and 1 7/8; burnish well. Since this is an easel card, both folds will be mountain. Add the Boughs of Holly DSP to a Cherry Cobbler panel slightly larger, then to a Mossy Meadow panel a bit larger yet. (Further card cuts will be found at the end of this post.) Now let’s do some stamping & die cutting using the Leaves of Holly bundle. On a panel of Mossy Meadow and with Mossy Meadow ink, stamp the smaller outline of the two holly leaves three times. Now stamp the filler stamp in Mossy Meadow ink, stamped-off once. This gives the leaves dimension. Die cut these and set them aside. The berries are also a two step stamp as well: stamp the full berry in Real Red ink, then the detail in Cherry Cobbler ink: die cut and set aside. The beautiful label die in this this Leaves of Holly bundle is just gorgeous, with the holly leaves delicate die cuts on one side and the framing that is created. Die cut this in Cherry Cobbler. There is a die that is rather New Jersey shaped for cutting a piece to go behind the holly leaves – use this to die cut from another piece of Boughs of Holly DSP and adhere with dabs of liquid glue behind the holly leaves. Secure this to the large front panel on the left of the card. Add the three previously die cut leaves on the right of this panel, creating a spray. Add the berries in the center of the leaves with dimensionals. Time for a sentiment… let’s stamp this in Mossy Meadow ink using the Mistletoe Magic stamp set and on a Basic White piece. Die cut with the label die from Leaves of Holly Dies. Add to the Cherry Cobbler label with dimensionals. I tucked in three Gold Holly Leaves with glue dots as shown in the photo. Then I added several Real Red Rhinestone Jewels – some on the sentiment, the rest around the large holly leaves. Now attach this large panel to the lower fold of the card front, with glue just to the 1 7/8″ fold line to make this an easel card – and the card front is complete.

For the inside, we’ll do the stamping first: stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White piece using Mistletoe Magic stamp set; die cut with the Frosted Flurry Die and set aside. Now pull out two Textural Elements – these are delicate wood elements and can be colored with Stampin’ Blends: Early Espresso for the stems and Real Red for the berries. I also added some Pearlized Enamel Effects in Real Red to the berries :O). These take a bit of time to harden. Add the Basic White panel to the remaining Cherry Cobbler piece and add it to the inside of the card. Now add the Textural Elements with glue dots on the back of each berry, making sure they are pretty even. These elements will be what the front of the card leans against to make it an easel card. :O) Clever, right? Back to the inside sentiment… add a length of Shimmer Ribbon in Gold with Tear n’ Tape to the back of the sentiment. Put dimensionals on this and add, centering, to the inside – as shown.

For the envelope… obviously a standard A2 envelope will not work for this card 😁 – but a leagal size one will! I happen to have a gold envelope… I covered the flap in more of the Boughs of Holly DSP then stamped the lower left corner with the outline stamp of the holly – Mossy Meadow ink, then stamped a second leaf without re-inking. This makes it look as though it is behind the first leaf. And that’s it! A very classy looking card.

Stampin’ Up! Caroling Mice Fun Fold

Posted on September 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! It’s fun fold Friday :O) This is such a quick & easy card even though it’s a fun fold. It’s really about paying attention to the detail – as in following instructions. I made this card not long ago but with the elephants and made it a baby card – also, the ‘swing’ was a square not a circle. This is called a Half Swing or Pop-Out Swing Card and it’s one of the cards we made in my card class yesterday. And here ya go…

I began with Thick Basic White card stock, standard A2 size (8 1/2 x 5 1/2) I adhered the DSP (4 x 5 1/2) on the right side only, then die cut the circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies (second largest). NOTE: the circle is rather equidistant from both sides and the top of the card front. I removed the circle, and adhered the rest of the DSP to the card front. With a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 square of Thick Basic White, cut the ‘frame’ for the circle using the two largest circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies and run them through the die cutting machine. On this circle, stamp the single mouse from the Caroling Mice stamp set in Memento ink: color the mouse with Stampin’ Blends. I used Evening Evergreen for the jacket, Real Red for the scarf, Light Basic Gray for the mouse and Soft Succulent for the hat. Put a dot of Pearlized Enamel Effects in white on the hat top and set aside to dry. This takes a bit of time to dry and you don’t want to smear it! Now lets create the ‘swing’ part :O)

Cut another piece of Thick Basic White 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score on the long side at 2, 4 and 6. Burnish well. On the 1/2″ end, make a cut to the score line approximately 1/2″ from top and 1- 1 1/2″ from the bottom and trim away the middle portion. You scored & trimmed piece should look like this.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice Fun Fold, inside

And when adhering to the inside of the card, it will look like this. .. note in particular the direction of the tabs.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice Fun Fold, inside.2

BEFORE ADHERING TO THE INSIDE OF THE CARD, STAMP THE VARIOS PANELS. I capitalized that sentence ‘cuz someone I know did not do that and stamping after it was adhered to the card base was tricky. :O( Here’s a photo after stamping and coloring with Stampin’ Blends – and already showing it attached.

Stampin' Up! Caroling Mice Fun Fold, completed inside

The street light image from Caroling Mice stamp set was stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Basic Black, dark Real Red, So Saffron. For the light I first did the Light So Saffron, then used the Dark So Saffron in the lower portion of the left small opening and in the left corner of the large opening. This gave it a bit more depth. I also added Wink of Stella to the light area and the bow. The tree from Caroling Mice stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink and topped with Adhesive-backed Seasonal Sequins in red. Once everything was stamped & colored I adhered the inner panel to the card: the right portion got adhesive and was attached to the far right on the inside of the card, about 1/8″ from edge; with the tabs facing ‘in’ (see photo), add adhesive, fold the accordian inside flat and close the card front over. The tabs will adhere in the proper place and should NOT SHOW THROUGH the circle opening.

There is an extra circle die cut from the card front – use this to adhere to the stamped caroling mouse circle. Close card and put adhesive on the area that shows through the circle on the right side, attach colored caroling mouse circle and hold in place for a bit to make certain it is dry. Now open the card and wheee – the mouse is attached.

Now let’s finish the card front. Using Sweet Candy Canes stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on a Thick Basic White scrap. Die cut with the die from Candy Canes Dies. I found it easier to adhere the sentiment banner then add the ribbon – so that’s what I did. Adhere the sentiment banner with dimensionals; attached ribbon to both ends – I used the Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack in theJul-Dec Mini catalog. I used a length of Linen Thread tied in a knot to hold the ends together. For the final touch, three Adhesive-backed Seasonal Sequins were added to the banner. Such a fun card!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Barn Bundle

Posted on September 5, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Whew – Labor Day! How’s it going for you? Our dog got me up extra early this AM – before 4… and I’m draggy, didn’t get my post completed when I wanted to – but can’t blame him for that! Hope YOUR day is going well. My card today features the Christmas Barn Bundle PLUS the fabulous Split Card Textures Dies – both new to me. I also used another new product for me… the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. Now THAT item takes a bit of getting used to. I couldn’t seem to make a thin enough ‘ribbon’ of Puff Paint, but I’ll share the card anyway.

The DSP in the background is the Painted Christmas DSP, a carryover from last year. I love it! Can you see the Puff Paint? I should have taken a couple of close-up photos. The line near the bottom is pretty good, and under the trees is OK. I DON’T like it on the trees :O( For one thing, it absorbed some of the green from stamping the tree. Who knew? Live & learn. Do you like the snowflakes though? They are from the Barn Dies – three sizes, just small. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Barn stamp set. And the sleigh… so cute. I couldn’t really decide what colors to use: Bronze for the sleigh, Lt. Cherry Cobbler for the blanket and the drivers hat; Lt. Soft Suede for the horse with a bit of Color Lifter for contrast; Lt Basic Black for the main & tail; Lt Evening Evergreen for the other hat and Light Smoky Slate for the trousers. After coloring, this was die cut with the coordinating Barn Dies. The trees were stamped in Garden Green from the Christmas Barn stamp set and die cut with the Barn Dies. They were adhered with liquid glue while the sleigh & its passengers were mounted on dimensionals. What else, that may be it for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Barn Bundle, inside.2

The sentiment is from the Christmas Barn stamp set, stamped in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. The wreath was stamped in Garden Green ink, then Lt Real Red Stampin’ Blends was used to color the pretty bow. I also covered the bow in Wink of Stella. I know you can’t see it here, but I did.

For the envelope, more of the same Painted Christmas DSP for the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. For the front, this super sweet wreath was again stamped in Garden Green ink and colored with the Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends. Done!

Now here’s the thing… I SHOULD HAVE posted a card using one of the Perfect Partners for today. After all, it’s Sep. 5 and this weeks ‘deals’ only go through Sep 7. But I didn’t. I will give more information below about the Weekly Deals & the Perfect Partners stamps/ dies. :O)

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Bundle Envelope Fun Fold

Posted on September 3, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again ~ Sat Sep 3, yikes the time is going f-a-s-t… Stampin’ Up has this super deal right now with Perfect Partners. What that means is they created dies to go with an existing stamp set and only during the month of September will they be available. Today I’m sharing some of the not so obvious dies in the bundle to create this fun envelope fold. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Envelope Fun Fold.1

In this photo you can see the really fun apple blossoms and the wonderful branch. The flowers have intricate lines in each of the petals that really set them apart from other floral dies. And you can see there are two sizes of blossoms and the fun stamens as well. Gorgeousness. I added a single Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight to the center of each blossom. And the branch is die cut from Soft Suede and has detail ridges and lines in it too – very delicate. The bottom front of this envelope fold is embossed in the Pretty Posies embossing folder. I like the added texture & pattern. The DSP is Gingham Cottage in Blushing Bride. I might note here that the smaller blossoms above were die cut from scrap of this DSP. The stamens were die cut from scrap of the Abigail Rose DSP used on the inside of the card. To make the v-shape for the distinctly ‘envelope’ card I used the Basic Borders Dies.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Envelope Fun Fold.2, inside

The inside shows more of the Apple Blossom Dies at the top with the sentiment banner – that stamp & die are from the Apple Blossom Bundle, and at the bottom with the beautiful scallop. What you see is a strip from the die cut, the bottom, and the very delicate upper scallop is the real deal. Both sentiments on this are from the Apple Blossom stamp set.

The upper portion of the envelope flap is covered in Abigail Rose DSP using a Smoky Slate piece to coordinate with the card base.

Stampin' Up! Apple Blossom Envelope Fun Fold.3

The photo above shows the entire length of the card – back side. It’s clear I used two sizes of the plaid from Gingham Cottage DSP – love the contrast.

Stampin' Up! Apple Blossom Envelope Fun Fold.4

For the envelope – more of the same Blushing Bride Gingham Cottage DSP for the flap. At the bottom of the envelope is the remainder of the scallop die cut from the Apple Blossom Dies. Here’s what I did… I began with a strip about 1 x 6 and used the scallop die close to one edge lengthwise. After running it through the Cut & Emboss machine it left three pieces – this is the last of those and the piece closest to the edge when die cut.

I can’t wait to play more with this Apple Harvest Bundle – such a beautiful set. The stamp set is from the Jul-Dec catalog, but the bundle is new. You can purchase each of these individually, but with 10% off when bundled, why would you?

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths in Rose Gold

Posted on September 2, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again… I have another Christmas card to share with you today, but truth be told, it wouldn’t have to be a Christmas card: change the outside sentiment and it could be ‘hello friend’. Yes, you might want to change the colors too. Maybe I should do just that??!! Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths in Rose Gold.1

The colors in this are so soft. A bit Victorian looking as I look at it now. I started with Thick Basic White in an A2 size, then cut another panel of Basic White & ran it through the Stripes & Splatters embossing folder. This I adhered directly to the card front. Before doing any more, I die cut two wreaths using the Country Wreaths Dies: one in Gold Metallic 6×6 and one in Rose Gold Metallic 6×6. They come together in a 6×6 packet. I layered them together with dabs of glue along the center, then curled the leaves slightly with my fingers. I added several Pearl Basic Jewels. The bow… is also from the Country Wreaths Dies and uses the Pearlescent Paper that has a glorious sheen to it. This I added with a couple of dimensionals. This was layered on two panels: top is the Brushstroke in Blushing Bride (gosh it’s gorgeous… I think I’ve been hoarding it) and Rose Gold. These were adhered together and added to the card front; the wreaths were added next, centering in the almost square. I stamped the sentiment in Blushing Bride ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog, on a Basic White piece and die cut it with the Potted Succulent Dies from the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. Isn’t it fun how easy it is to co-mix Stampin’ Up! items? Once die cut this was adhered with dimensionals – and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths in Rose Gold.2, inside

For the inside I stamped the sentiment on a Basic White panel with Blushing Bride ink and another wording from the Hope & Peace stamp set. This was adhered to a slightly larger piece of Blushing Bride card stock then into the card itself – and DONE.

Stampin' Up! Cttage Wreaths in Rose Gold.3

For the envelope… a panel of Basic White was run through the same Stripes & Splatters embossing folder and adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. This gorgeous bow from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set was stamped in Blushing Bride ink and coated with Wink of Stella. I know you can’t see it in this photo, but it makes a nice glam & glitter :O)

Some of the products to make this card are from the Jul- Dec 2022 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and need catalogs please reach out to me – happy to send one to you. The other catalog available right now is the 2022 -2023 Annual Catalog . When ordering, please also use my current host code: TXBWJTMW.and remember I offer Star-Studded Rewards.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 1, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

This was fun challenge sketch. I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do, but wanted to show off some DSP and this was the result. The DSP is Boughs of Holly and it has some stunning papers in the package. These sweet poinsettias and that stripe – love them together. And that rather mottled piece is from the same packet. It sets everything apart. Those gold pine boughs are from the Christmas Banners Dies and die cut from Brushed Metallic DSP. There are three of them. The sentiment banner stamped on Basic White is from the Christmas Banners stamp set, die cut with the Christmas Banners Dies. The banner portion was stamped in Evening Evergreen while the sentiment is in Cherry Cobbler. And those uber cute embellishments? Those are Red & Green Adhesive-Backed Pearls found in the Jul-Dec Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners, 9/1, inside.2

Let me explain the inside. I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut the poinsettia DSP on the card front & placed the die in the center of the paper to create this ‘frame’ for the inside. Clever, right? I adhered the Basic White to the back of the ‘frame’ in order to realize the proper spacing for stamping. The sentiment is from Christmas Banners stamp set and done in Evening Evergreen ink. The sprig of berries is Evening Evergreen for the branch and Real Red for the berries. I wanted them vibrant! This was adhered to the inside of the card – and done.

The envelope uses the same DSP for the flap, just the reverse side. And the spray of berries was accomplished the same manner as the inside of the card.What do you think… do you approve? This is a blog hop and I want you to be certain to visit all the ‘players.’ Click on the next button or click on a name to continue.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths for Fall

Posted on August 30, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

This card is very fall-ish: plaid designer series paper, a wreath & leaves ~ what more could you ask for in a fall card? So here ya go…

I began by stamping the wreath on a Basic White piece in Soft Suede ink with the Cottage Wreaths stamp set, then die cut it with the Country Wreaths Dies. I took another panel of Basic White and ran it through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to use as a background for the wreath. I covered the front of an A2 Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Gingham Cottage DSP in Pumpkin Pie. I took a piece of Pale Papaya card stock and ran it through the Deckled Rectangles Dies, cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock just slightly larger to layer behind it. Because I wanted yet another layer (😁) I used a smaller Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a pice of the Texture Chic Specialty DSP. All of these I layered, centering each one as you see, except the Basic White embossed panel. This I offset, put dimensionals on the die cut wreath and adhered it to the card front. Then I set about the leaves.

On a baby wipe, I dropped a couple of drops of re-inkers in these colorsCrushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Mossy Meadow. This is so fun to watch them bleed into one another. I took the small three leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and stamped it several times on a Basic White scrap, then die cut them all, choose several and attached with dimensionals to the wreath and on the card. There are actually seven of them. My last step was to tie a double bow using the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party and linen Thread together. These were attached with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card… I stamped a Basic White panel with this sentiment from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Suede ink. Then, remember the Pale Papaya cut for the card front? I used the remainder of that piece for the inside of the card, adhering over the Basic White framing it. My last step was to add more of the Baby Wipe stamped leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set – just with a dot of liquid glue. This was added to the inside of the card & voila!

The envelope was extra easy & fun – I just used the same three leaves, stamped them on the baby wipe & onto the envelope, both on the front and all over the flap. Done! What’s extra nice is this card can be used for several things: thank you, birthday, congratulations – all because of the sentiment. Yes, I will have to send it this fall :O)

Ok… today is Aug 30, Sale-a-bration ends tomorrow night Aug 31. Remember I’m offering double Star Rewards through Sep 2.
