August 2026 Paper Pumpkin - Kindred Greetings

Hello Stampers,
It's been a hectic week of appointments, but the good news is that I've been released from care from my radiation team. YAY! One less 3 hour round trip I have to make is always good news. Needless to say, I just haven't spent a lot of time in my craft room as of late, but I did finish a card I started last week. I do hope to back in there to highlight some other products that will be coming out really soon.

I thought I'd work on this month's Paper Pumpkin kit & an alternate card which I made as a fun fold. I started the card with a Basic White Carstock for the base & flap, then added a piece of Delicate Dream DSP to the left side of the card & on the flap. Using the stamp set in the kit, I stamped the bush & sentiment with Gray Granite Ink, then added some twine that came with the kit before adding it to the flap of the card.
For the inside I added another sentiment to a Basic White Cardstock layer then placed it onto the center of the card which covers the flap mechanism. 
Here are what the 3 cards look like that come from this month's kit.

Elegant Leaves - Triple Step Technique

Hello Stampers,
Today is the final day of showcasing the Eternal Leaves Stamp Set & this card was made for this week's Crafty Collaborations for Pretty Peacock on Instagram.

I chose to make the card with the Triple Time technique, which is stamping on 3 layers at once, then adding layers in between to cover the border areas that really don't get ink. I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set to stamp one of the leaves outline all over the card & added the sentiment to the top layer using Basic White Cardstock with Pretty Peacock Ink. The layers & base of the card use Pretty Peacock Cardstock. Lastly, I used Array Of Dots (Pretty Peacock) to finish the card. To see what other demos made for this hop, please go to my Instagram link & click on the card to see a list of participants.

Elegant Leaves - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
Today's Elegant Leaves card uses the more of the dies than the stamp set, to make a thinking of you card. 

I started this card with a layer of Pecan Pie Two-Tone Cardstock from the upcoming Autumn Fields Two-Tone Cardstock Pack or it can be bought as a 1 color pack. I then embossed it using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder then used an old Sanding Block I still had but they will also be coming backout in the new catalog. I then attached this layer to a Basic White Cardstock base. I used the Elegant Leaves Dies to die-cut the outline & solid images from Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow & Golden Glow Cardstocks then adhered them together before figuring out how I wanted them on the card. For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiments from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set with Pecan Pie Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, die-cut it out using the Stylish Shape Dies & attached it the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Earthy Matte Dots (Pecan Pie) to finish the card.

Elegant Leaves - Thank You

Hello Stampers,
Today is day 2 of showcasing the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set. I thought I'd try to make a leaf snowflake, LOL! Never seen one, but there is a first for everything.

I started with the focal point of Very Vanilla Cardstock layer, where I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set to stamp the smallest leaf using Golden Glow, Misty Moonlight, Cajun Craze, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, Pecan Pie, Peaceful Pine & Pumpkin Pie Ink Pads & the end result reminds me of a snowflake. I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to punch a circle & stamped it with a sentiment from the Scalloped Blossoms Stamp Set using the Blackberry Bliss Ink, popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals in the center. This layer was then backed with Golden Glow Cardstock & a Blackberry Bliss Cardstock base. I added a few upcoming Gold Adhesive Dots to all 4 corners to finish the card.

Elegant Leaves - Sending Caring Thoughts

Hello Stampers,
I'm going to start switching things up & try to showcase a single product 3-4 times a week. Last week, I used the Radiant Sunflower Bundle & Sunflower Fields DSP. This week I'll be sharing a sneak peek of Elegant Leaves Bundle, which I've already shared one card so let's see how many ideas I can come up with on this go around. LOL!

Today's card was inspired by Brandy Cox from the Creativate Team with an early inspiration sheet for the fall session. I started my card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a layer of this month's Product of the Month Glow Of Harvest DSP. For the focal point, I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set to stamp the biggest leaf with Crumb Cake & Early Espresso Ink onto a Basic White Cardstock, then layered it with an Early Espresso Cardstock layer. For the sentiment, I stamped one from the set using Early Espresso Ink onto a Basic White Cardstock strip, wrapped one side with Linen Thread & banner cut the other before I added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up.
