More Than Autumn Stamp Set


 

Don't you just love the feel of cool Autumn afternoons? Or cute Autumn stamps to create with?    

Here are a few cards made with the More Than Autumn Bundle.  The images are all things good...pie, doughnuts, coffee and lots of different scripted words.  The patterned paper on these cards set a good base for the different die cuts.  Alcohol markers were used to color the images.

It's Pumpkin Spice Season...

The weekend is just around the corner!  What do you have planned?  Will it be visiting a pumpkin patch or crafting with some new fall supplies? Both sound fun to me!

I love this new More Than Fall bundle and created this card using several pieces from it! The patterned paper I chose to use is the from the Latte Love Suite in the Online Exclusives Store at stampinup.com.

I cut the "Pumpkin Spice Season" from Pecan Pie card stock. The mug is from the DSP.  I just fussy cut it out. The small pumpkin, cinnamon stick, leaf, "latte", and whipped cream are from the stamps and dies.  The base of my card stock is Lost Lagoon.


Enjoy this last weekend of October and sip a Pumpkin Spice Latte!

It's beginning to look like FALL!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like fall...finally!!!  I love the crisp, cool air and colorful foliage of fall.  I've been working with the new More Than Autumn bundle the past few weeks.  I love all the different ways you can combine the die cut and stamped words.  I've created a guide to how I colored my images.  Feel free to use it if needed. 

Tip:  Use the top of the latte cream to create whipped cream for the slice of pie.

I'll be posting lots of cards made with this bundle over the next few days, so check back often for samples.

If you are interested in this bundle, visit Stampinup.com.  If you don't have one, I'd love to be your demonstrator.  














Happy' Stampin',

Returning to My Blog!


Hello!  It has been a while since I’ve posted!  We decided to move across the state to be closer to our daughter and her family, so now that we are settled, I plan to be posting consistently again! 

Here is a cute Halloween card that I completed this week. I love the whimsical vibes it sends!  I chose an older stamp set and redesigned it by adding faux stitching around the edges. I used pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape patterned paper for the background.  The Pumpkin Pie ink was also blended around the pumpkins. The ghost was ink blended with Pretty in Pink ink. I used a black Glaze pen to add eyes and a smile to my ghost.  The stitches were made with a clear ruler and black Tombo pen  

I hope it brings a smile to your face!

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back often!

Traditions of St. Nick DSP

 I used the Traditions of St. Nick DSP to create this Christmas card. The stamp set is the retired Merriest Moments, but any set with greenery would work. I also splattered the card with white acrylic paint diluted with a little water. I used the shimmery crystal effects on the holly berries and metallic pearls for the center of the poinsettia.

October 2023 Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Here are a few alternatives for this month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  I’m enjoying making “cookies” with the house and tree stamps!

I made the cookie sheet by rounding the corners of a rectangular piece of Basic Gray card stock, rounded the corners, scored below the curves and used blending brushes to add some shading to the edges.

Other items I used include Traditions of St. Nick patterned paper, Christmas Tidings embossing folder, and various colors of the Stampin' Blend alcohol markers
