Merry Mischief - Holly Jolly Greetings

Hello Stampers,

At last, the weather is cooling down, and it feels so wonderful to open the windows and let the fresh air in. Instead of spotlighting a particular product, I’ll be embracing the Christmas spirit and working on ideas for cards I will make in multiples. I love gnomes, so of course I couldn’t resist ordering this adorable set—LOL! With so many little pieces and lots of time needed to put everything together, this probably won’t be a card I can make multiples of, but it will certainly be a special one. I also believe this is the most products I used on any card I've ever made. YIKES!

I started this card with stamping one of the gnomes from the Merry Mischief Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Ink, then coloring it with Peaceful Pine, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Medium Light & Light Stampin' Blends, before die-cutting it with the Merry Mischief Dies. I recently saw someong adding some cotton to their card, so I grabbed a q-tip & with some glue added cotton to the bottom of the suit & for the pom pom. For the mushroom, I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and Golden Glow Cardstocks. I embossed the mushroom cap with the Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder (candy canes), then used a Sponge Dauber to apply Cherry Cobbler Ink around the edges. I also used a Blending Brush to add extra color to the door and lights with Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler Inks. I also added Wink Of Stella to the lights & ornaments on the beard. I fussy cut a snow bank using Basic White Cardstock, then used a sentiment from the Festive Cheer Stamp Set, stamping it with Cherry Cobbler Ink. I chose Basic White Cardstock for the base, then added a layer of A Stitched Season DSP, before starting to assemble the card, everything was glued except for the gnome where I used Stampin' Dimensionals.

Autumn Opulence - Celebrate Today

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was the last card I made for spotlight on Autumn Opulence, but couldn't share it until now since it was made for my mom's birthday. 

I started this card using a Golden Glow Cardstock base, before adding a layer of Autumn Opulence DSP. For the sentiment, I used Golden Glow Cardstock that was die-cut using the Nested Essentials Dies, then used the Framed & Fabulous Stamp Set with Blackberry Bliss Ink. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add it to the card, then finished it by adding a few Antique Pearls.

Autumn Opulence

Hello Stampers,
Today's card features the Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP & it was inspired by a sketch from Dawn Griffith. What are your thoughts on not having a sentiment on the front of the card? I think if the focal point is large enough a sentiment isn't always needed on the front. 

I started the card with a Golden Glow Cardstock layer, then placed 3 pieces of Autumn Opulence DSP on top, before adding this layer to a Blackberry Bliss Cardstock base. For the focal point, I used one of the die-cuts that come with the DSP popping it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a few 2026-28 In Color Dots (Golden Glow) to finish the card.

Autumn Opulence - Thankful For You

Hello Stampers,
Although it's pumpkin spice everything right now, Mother Nature still isn't giving up the summer temps quite yet. So I'm working on a few more "fall-ish" cards in hopes that we can at least get & stay down below mid 80s. This week I'll be spotlighting the Autumn Opulence DSP, it's a pretty DSP that I bypassed the 1st time around until I saw cards being made with it & I gave it a 2nd look. Something a bit different about this DSP it that it comes with 2 sheets of die-cuts with it, so you can really make fast & easy cards with it by just adding sentiments to the card from your favorite sets.

This card by using an old card template from Jackie Bolhuis. I started the card with a Pecan Pie Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Golden Glow Cardstock that was embossed using the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I cut 3 rectangles from the Autumn Opulence DSP from the same sheet, just flipped 2 of them. For the sentiment, I punched a circle from Very Vanilla Cardstock using the 2" Circle Punch, then used the Fern & Flora & Painted Pumpkin Stamp Sets with Pecan Pie & Golden Glow (stamped off once) Ink Pads, before adding Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a few Painted Patch Dots (Golden Glow) to finish the card.
