It’s Tuesday, rainy & 64 degrees here on the East coast of the US ~ very fall-ish kind of weather. What are YOU up to today? Once the rain stops, our plan is to pick up some firewood from a friend. It’s been covered so will be dry. It will b e the first of the firewood we stash… we order a full cord and use it all during the winter. If all the acorns that have been falling are any indication, this may be a cold winter. uCard today… I love the simplicity of it. It has a hint of sparkle on the die cut leaf – as it was cut from the Gold/ Rose Gold 6×6 Metallic paper. This is gorgeous paper, and I’ve colored this piece with Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends using both the light and dark. I love how it turned out!
Leaves.1
More particulars about this card…
run a panel of Very Vanilla card stock through the die cutting machine using the Stitched Leaves Dies, making this fun design on the left side of the panel. This die doesn’t actually cut the paper so much as emboss the design – love it!
die cut a circle using the second largest in the Layering Circles dies – from Very Vanilla card stock.
die cut the leaf from the Intricate Leaves Dies (found in the Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog) from the Rose Gold paper in the Gold/ Rose Gold 6×6 Metallic Paper pack. Color it with the Light Cajun Craze, then add highlights with the Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend.
Adhere the leaf to the circle with just dots of liquid glue
Place the circle but do not adhere… stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink from Very Versailles stamp set, then sprinkle with Copper Embossing powder & heat set.
Add the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the back of the circle with Stampin’ Seal+
Put dimensionals on the back of the circle and add to the card front.
Attach this Very Vanilla panel to the Evening Evergreen card base & voila!, the card front is done
Leaves.2
For the inside…
Stamp the sentiment from Very Versailles on a panel of Very Vanilla using VersaMark ink, sprinkle with Copper Embossing Powder & heat set.
Stamp the beautiful leaf stamp from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set with Just Jade ink, stampin off once, then stamping again without re-inking. Do this several times – to your satisfaction.
Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Just Jade piece, slightly larger, then into the Evening Evergreen card base.
For the envelope…
Do the same process on the front of the envelope with Just Jade ink, Gorgeous Leaves stamp set.
Emboss with the Stitches Leaves Dies on the envelope flap

This card is being entered into two challenges: the Color Fusers Blog Hop – October
and CASEing the Catty sketch Challenge CTC 338

Welcome to MONDAY! It’s the beginning of a new week, new challenges, various obligations. I hope yours goes well! Today’s post is a rather different & fun card using the Stitched Triangles Dies and various widths of Christmas paper scraps, along with acrylic sheets. I strongly recommend having grid paper under the acrylic sheet to keep papers straight!
Trees, Trees w/ Stitched Triangles.1
First, choose your papers and cut in various widths. I chose Peaceful Prints DSP and the strips range in width from from 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″ and even one is 3/4″ in width. Hold the acrylic sheet in place on the grid paper with tape of some sort. Place papers as desired & hold them in place on the acrylic sheet. Adhere with Stampin’ Seal or liquid glue, depending on width of paper. Place the Stitched Triangle Die over top, move to die cutting machine & cut. Voila – perfect trees! Add a ‘trunk’ to the large tree ~ mine is in Sahara Sand 1/2″ square. You could do the same for the other trees, just make them smaller.
Now create the rest of the card… card base is Real Red. Run a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock through the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhere to a slightly larger Basic White panel. Add dimensionals to the back of the Basic White and adhere to the card front. Now add dimensionals to the back of trees making certain they do not show through where strips are separated. Also keep in mind the placement of the trees and if overlap, pay special attention to where the dimensionals are placed. Stamp the sentiment from Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in Evening Evergreen and fussy cut. Put dimensionals on the back and place. Add Gilded Gems to the tree tops.
Trees, Trees w/ Stitched Triangles.2
For the inside… Again I used the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set, again in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card – and done!
Trees, Tress w/ Stitched Triangles, 3
The envelope, I still had several strips so used them to cover the flap and trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink. Another for my Christmas stash! This design was inspired by another demonstrator and found on Pinterest ~ whose name I forget! My sincerest apologies… 😳 Card cuts are listed at the bottom of the post.

Whoa – it’s Oct 1! Oh my how the time has flown…. less than 90 days before Christmas. I’m stunned… and it’s chilly outside. It got down to 45 last night – definite sweater weather. Which b rings me to today’s card – a campsite, maybe fall, maybe winter with some snow. I love the scene! Today’s card is about being in the present, the now. The stamp is called Reflected in Nature. I’ve done it in two tones: Night of Navy and Balmy Blue.
Reflected in Nature – Breathe.1
My Night of Navy is very inky and I had to play with this a bit to get it as I wanted. The picture itself is quite nice and I wanted to be able to see it readily.. inked full strength it was too heavy. This is a single stamp, so in order to do the upper in one color and the lower in another, it was necessary to use a post-it note to cover one side to ink, remove the note then stamp, and follow the same procedure on the other side. This is best done with the Stamparatus. With the stamp in place it is easy to re-stamp if necessary and it’s on a Very Vanilla panel. You can see the background on the card has gone through an embossing folder – Timber 3D to be exact – perfect for the stamp. And that’s Balmy Blue card stock layered on a panel of Night of Navy. And I fussy cut around the inked picture, layered it on a strip of Night of Navy that I had torn the edges to make it look worn – to go with the natural scene. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, Reflected in Nature, and stamped in Night of Navy ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I die cut it with a label die from Harvest Dies. It was added to the card front with dimensionals. Did I mention the cabin stamp is also on dimensionals? I added three Holiday Rhinestone Jewels in navy.
Reflected in Nature – Breathe.2
On the inside Very Vanilla panel I stamped the sentiment – again from Reflected in Nature in Balmy Blue ink, then added the bird stamp in Night of Navy ink. It is really soaring! It is layered on a Night of Navy panel then adhered directly to the inside of the card.
Reflected in Nature – Breathe.3
For the envelope I ran the Night of Navy piece through the Timber 3D embossing folder then adhered it to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped another sentiment in Night of Navy ink from Reflected in Nature stamp set. And this card is ready for someone special. It’s tailored, so easily can be masculine. I’ve another one of these I’m working on, in shades of gray.
I’ll do the product list, then I want to share something special about tomorrow – World Card Making Day and what our team is doing to celebrate it :O)
Several of our team have agreed to do a facebook live of a card they are making, including me (yikes!); there will be prizes & a game or two throughout the day… 9-5 – all on facebook. Please join us as we make some cards and have some fun! There’s a Facebook page set up to host the event.

Today’s post is a birthday card – ordered by our daughter. She said she was down to one, could you send some more please? This is the first of the batch.
You’re A Peach Birthday.1
The DSP is You’re a Peach DSP layered on Pale Papaya, then Calypso Coral that was die cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies. And that beautiful spray? It comes from Artistic Dies and Gold/ Rose Gold 6×6 DSP. Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous – the spray & the Gold? I keep forgetting I have it. I kept the card pretty simple – so mailing would be a single stamp. Postage is increasing and that’s a consideration when I make cards for an order. The Calypso Coral panel is on dimensionals. The sentiment comes from Art Gallery stamp set and was stamped in Calypso Coral ink. I added three Metallic Pearls in gold for the final touch.
You’re A Peach Birthday.2
The inside… a background layer of Calypso Coral, then the Basic White stamped layer. Since I had the Art Gallery stamp set available, I stamped the sentiment then a couple of the small flowers, stamped off Calypso Coral for the larger stamp and Pale Papaya for the second or filler stamp. I took a Micron pen and inked around the flower to give it a bit of definition. I like the added touch. I adered the Basic White panel and the card was done!
You’re A Peach Birthday.3
For the envelope, I added a panel of the same You’re a Peach DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit – and that was it. This is a bright cheery card and puts a smile on my face ~ I hope it does yours as well. I’ll give the product list, then I’ll share the list of bundles you can get – for FREE is you join up now as a demonstrator. I would love to have you on my team 😁

The Beautifully Penned DSP is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items available with a $50 purchase. And that purchase can be from the Jul-Dec Mini 2021 catalog or the Annual Catalog – – but only until Sep 30! This paper coordinates perfectly with the Hand Penned bundle and I wanted to share this card with you. First I colored using the Watercolor Pencils and the Blending Pen. Here’s a photo of that.
Flowers come in all colors so I played to my hearts content. As you can see, there’s more that can be done too! From this I will be able to create several cards. Here is my first…
Beautifully Penned w/ Hand Penned.1
I’m pleased with this! What do you think? Here’s what I did…
Die cut a Basic White panel with one of the Scalloped Contour Dies.
Cut a panel from the colored paper to adhere inside it. This panel is 2 x 3 5/16, just a notch beyond 3 1/4.
Adhere the Scalloped Contour piece to a Basic Black panel 2 1/2 x 3 7/8. Put dimensionals on the back and set aside.
Adhere a coordinating Beautifully Penned DSP to a So Saffron panel: wrap with the White ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Combo Pack, securing in back with Seal+
Adhere these two pieces to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Adhere the flower panel with dimensionals to the card front – off-center.
Add a bow from the same ribbon, attaching with a glue dot.
On a Basic White scrap, stamp the sentiment from Hand-Penned stamp set in Memento Black ink and die cut with Potted Succulents Dies. Attach dimensionals to the bottom and a bit of liquid glue to the top of the banner and adhere in place. The card front is done!
Beautifully Penned w/ Hand Penned.2
The inside is just as pretty… stamp the flower from Hand-Penned stamp set in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel. Color with Watercolor Pencils and use the Blender Pen to blend. Adhere to a So Saffron panel then to the inside of the card and voila!
You may be asking what colors I used for coloring. Well, I just played, which I’m encouraging you to do. Nature is full of ideas; look around you and follow those patterns. Some colors coordinate as does this at the right, and some contrast in ways we don’t expect – so play, create, let nature inspire you.
For the envelope I kept it very simple… Beautifully Penned DSP on the flap trimmed to fit.
Beautifully Penned w/ Hand Penned.3

It’s Saturday… and I’m knee- deep in a convention… lots of debate and amendments. It’s very civil, and it’s necessary to keep the organization in good order, but oh my, it’s l-o-n-g. Today’s card is another necessary… a couple of thinking of you cards for men friends of ours struggling with their health. The two cards are very similar, different card bases and DSP used and embellishments, but same layout. And you like that right? Here they are…
Masculine Thinking of you
The Positive Thoughts stamp set is perfect for these cards – it gives the right sentiment without being too mushy.
The card on the left uses In Good Taste DSP, Simply Elegant Trim in Silver, Tasteful Textures EF, Matte Black Dots, Picture This Dies for the sentiment, Smokey Slate and Basic Black card stocks. Smokey Slate ink for stamping.
Masculine Thinking of you
Here I stamped using Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel, added the strip from the envelope flap (you’ll see this in the next photo :), adhered it to a Basic Black panel and adhered it into the inside of the card.
Masculine Thinking of You
I added more of the same In Good Taste DSP to the flap, and die cut the edge with one of the Basic Borders Dies. And the card was done – ready to go out in today’s mail.
The card on the right uses Beauty of the Earth DSP, Tasteful Labels Dies for the sentiment die cut and Champagne Rhinestone Jewels for the embellishment, Cinnamon Cider and Early espresso card stocks. Early Espresso ink for stamping.
Masculine Thinking of You
For the inside of this card I stamped the sentiment and the butterflies in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel- both from Positive Thoughts stamp set, then layered it on Early Espresso card stock and adhered it to the inside of the card.
Again, same Beauty of The Earth DSP on the envelope flap and on the front another butterfly stamped in Early Espresso ink. And this card is gone already. :O)
I really like how these cards turned out – simple, again, but layered and thoughtful for each individual. And they do fit the person to whom they are being given: one man is very quiet and a bit shy while the other man is a bit of a partier and flashy.
The countdown for Sale-a-bration is 6 days if you count today.

Talk about detail – this pumpkin has it! It’s gorgeous… and die cut from Copper Foil, even more so. It’s Friday, a day to be thankful (well, every day is one of those!) and TGIF day. I hosted a card class yesterday and will share photos of a few of the bridge cards folks made. Not everyone wanted theirs photographed, so I didn’t. I’ll post those at the end.
Detailed Pumpkin Dies.1
I was playing around… no sketch to follow or anything. Once this was die cut from foil it said, ‘use me alone – I’m stunning’ – so I did! Using Very Vanilla card stock and the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I cut a panel, and adhered the pumpkin with dots of liquid glue. (TIP: die cut the pumpkin from the foil used as backing for the Very Vanilla panel.) Adhere this VV panel to the Copper Foil with Stampin’ Seal. With another piece of Very Vanilla card stock, run it through the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere it to a slightly larger panel of Early espresso card stock. Coming back to the Fpol panel… add a length of Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya to the back by running a strip of Stampin’ Seal in the area and attaching the ribbon as shown. Put dimensional on the back of the Foil panel and attach to the embossed panel. Add all of this to the Very Vanilla card base and the front is done!
Detailed Pumpkin Dies, inside panel.2
On another Very Vanilla piece I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set. The sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in the Jul-December 2021 Mini Catalog. (It has some gorgeous sentiments!) Adhere the VV panel to a slightly larger piece of Early Espresso card stock, then right into the inside of the card. Simply Elegant…
Detailed Pumpkins Dies.3
The envelope got more treatment of a panel of VV embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder ~ that was it. I wanted this elegant and simple. Did I meet that goal? I think so, but you tell me.
This bundle ~ Pretty Pumpkins ~ will be around for a bit. The items in the Mini Catalogue can be ordered through Dec. But – fall, Thanksgiving, is well, now. Why wait? :O) Place your order soon so you can put these items to good use.

Good Monday morning to you… a full week is ahead of us. Got anything wonderful planned? I can tell you we are going sailing this morning, IF (and that’s big if) there is enough wind. And then I need to make a bunch of cards for our daughter – who requested sympathy and thinking of you type cards. But for now, let’s focus on this fun fold. It’s quite easy. A stand-up card by itself.
Bridge Fold Card in Whimsy.1
Oh my, this is a dark photo… later is a better one. I used Whimsical Trees with coordinating Christmas Trees Dies and the Whimsy & Wonder SDSP & the Seasonal Labels Dies for the sentiment. I did use Silver Foil for the tree and stars. Let’s get a better picture…
Bridge Fold Card in Whimsy.2
This is better – and it’s lying on it’s back. Let’s begin with the tree, shall we? I die cut the tree from Silver Foil and kept all the inner pieces. I then die cut the solid tree from Basic White card stock + an extension of the bottom of the tree about 1/2″. I happen to really like both trees and no, I don’t think they are supposed to go together. But I happen to like the way they layer. All the little pieces that are from the silver foil tree, I attached with dots of liquid glue, intentionally overlaying them so they appear like another layer of snow or tree. I attached the foil tree to the Basic White tree, again with dots of liquid glue, then added the tree extension behind. I die cut this tree from the foil panel that is layered with the packages ~ see photo :O) I also die cut several stars (the die cuts 5 at once) ~ all of the die cuts use the Christmas Trees Dies.
Bridge Fold Card in Whimsy.3
The next important step is preparing the papers… you don’t have to do the double layers of papers. I just happen to like the way it looks. Finished card size fits nicely in an A2 envelope… 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 when it folds flat.
TIP: When cutting the SDSP, it is best to make certain the “picture” of the papers flow from left to right AND that if there is a definitive up & down, that you keep that going in the proper direction. It doesn’t show so much with this Designer Paper, but with some it is very obvious. And when the card is flat, the direction of the papers definitely are apparent.
Card base is 4 1/4 x 8 scored at 1 1/4x 2 1/2, 5 1/2 & 6 3/4; 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 (bridge panel). I used Misty Moonlight
Silver Foil layers: 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 (4); 2 7/8 x 4 1/8 (center panel); 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (bridge panel); 2 x 4 for tree / stars
Whimsy & Wonder SDSP: 1 x 4 (4); 2 3/4 x 4 (center panel is coordinating); 1 x 5 1/4 (bridge panel)
Burnish all score lines and fold mountain, valley, valley, mountain. In other words, both the 1 1/4 & 6 3/4 folds should be mountain folds. Refer to the photo.
Attach all layers together as shown. I used Stampin’ Seal for this step, but liquid glue does give more adjustment leeway. Make sure all SDSP is facing the proper direction! For the bridge panel… once the layers are together, adhere the bridge to the far right panel of the card base. It is easiest to do this if the right panel is folded and the rest of the card flat. Now fold the card the opposite direction, so the far left of the card is folded and the right side of the card is flat – adhere the bridge to the left front panel. YAY!
Now decorate…
Adhere the tree with liquid glue to the bridge & the tree top to the right front fold.
Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the tree in Polished Pink
Add the foil die cut stars with dots of liquid glue
Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the inside panel (packages) in Polished Pink
Stamp the sentiment in Polished Pink ink using the Whimsical Trees stamp set. Die cut with the Season Labels Dies. Attach with dimensionals. Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels in Fresh Freesia.
Bridge Fold Card, backside.4
Stamp sentiment in Polished Pink ink on a Basic White panel 2 7/8 x 4 1/8 with Whimsical Trees stamp set.
Attach to backside of card and the card is done!
Bridge Fold Card in Whimsy.5
For the envelope… cover the flap in Whimsy & Wonder SDSP, trim to fit. Stamp the cute ornaments from Whimsical Trees stamp set in Moonlight Madness. Color with Markers: Soft Succulent, Polished Pink & Blushing Bride.
Love this fun fold!!! I has been a while since I have done this and I had a good time. So easy and looks great as a stand alone card.

Hello fellow stampers. It’s cool morning this morning here in New Jersey. This time of year it’s hard to know what to expect. I hope you have some crafting time scheduled in your day ‘cuz I have a cute card for you. It uses the Whimsical Trees stamp set and Christmas Trees Dies, a bundle. I’ve also used a Blending Brush to create the background and done a bit of splattering as well. Let’s take a look.
Pink & Green Whimsy.1
Gosh – this photo makes the card look pink all over!!! It isn’t…
This is a notecard size card – so 3 1/2 x 5. Let me give you some detail… With a Blending Brush add a bit of Blushing Bride to the card. I created sort of an oval. I then used one of the water painters and splattered a few drops of water in the colored area. The way to do this is to flick the brush against the cap so the water goes toward the paper. If it’s too heavy, just blot with a paper towel. I then used my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends and did more flicking, this time all over the card. I like the look – a bit country – and this is a country scene after all. I cut two strips of paper, one from the Subtle 6×6 DSP in Blushing Bride (3/8 width) and one from Whimsy & Wonder 12 x 12 Specialty DSP (SDSP) (1/2 width). I adhered them together after trimming the ends on an angle, then added to the front of the card. I took a length of the White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, separated the threads and wound just a couple of them around a bit, just leaving them in place. I took the trees die cut from GreenFoil, put mini dimensionals on the back and adhered them over the twine, holding it in place. I trimmed the length of the tree trunk too, so they were fairly even with one another. I wanted tiny words and found them in the Many Messages stampset. I know, this is a big, all encompassing stamp with several sentiments. But with the help of my Stamparatus and some masking of surrounding sentiments, it worked just fine! I stamped in Memento Black ink then cut out the portion I wanted to use. I put mini dimensionals on the back and adhered it in place. The final step was to addf a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (Polished Pink & Soft Succulent) and the card front was finis.
Pink & Green Whimsy.2
This card looks very pink to me – must be the lighting! I do apologize – for the card is the Basic White Notecard!! Remember the strips on the front of the card? I had some left and simply added it to the bottom of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Memento Black ink and that was it.
Pink & Green Whimsy.3
For the envelope I stamped the sweet tree from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in stamped-off Soft Evergreen ink. I added more Subtle 6×6 DSP to the flap. Such a sweet card. And this doesn’t take long to do. It would be fine on a full A2 size card as well ~ I just happen to like the Notecard & Envelopes size :O)

Hello fellow stampers! It’s Friday, a bit rainy here today. Not sure how long it will last. I have one more card to share from our Team Meeting on Sunday, but I just had to pop in with this very cute box. My paper of choice for this is the Beautifully Penned 12 x 12 DSP that is FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 purchase. More on that later in the post. I’ve chosen Black & White cuz there’s a challenge for Black & White plus one other color…. and I chose red.
Black & White + One.1
Other products…
Poinsettia Dies (coordinates w/ Poinsettia Petals stamp set)
Seasonal Labels Dies (coordinates w/ Christmas Season stamp set)
Vellum
Basic White card stock
Real Red card stock
Real Red Double Stitched Satin Ribbon
Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Wink of Stella
The ‘how’ to decorate this box…
die cut the vellum using the smallest label die in the Seasonal Labels Dies
die cut three poinsettia petals using the Poinsettia Dies & Basic White card stock, cover with Wink of Stella, adhere together with glue dots and mini dimensionals. I used the mini dimensional only for adding the top petal.
die cut the berry spray using another of the Poinsettia Dies and Real Red card stock., cut apart as desired
add the vellum to the box with Stampin’ Seal+ just across the middle of the Vellum. This will be very secure and the adhesive will be covered by the decoration.
adhere the berries with more Stampin’ Seal+
add the poinsettia with two glue dots
Add three Rhinestone Basic Jewels in the three varied sizes for a bit of sparkle & glam
tie the Real Red Ribbon Double-Stitched Ribbon around the end of the box, making a bow – done!
Tomorrow I’ll give complete directions for the box & a card to go with it. 😏
