Simply Leaves - I'm Grateful For Your Kindness

Hello Stampers,
Sorry, last week was a little hectic & I realized last night that I never scheduled this card last week to finish up the Simply Leaves bundle highlighting. EEK! This card was inspired by an old sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I started off with punching 3 leaves from the Autumn Fields Two-Tone Cardstock using the lighter side of Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Pecan Pie, then stamped the veins from the Simply Leaves Stamp Set using Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Pecan Pie Inks. I used Very Vanilla Cardstock & embossed it using the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder & placing it on a Early Espresso Cardstock base, before adding the leaves. I used a small strip of Autumn Fields Two-Tone Cardstock in Early Espresso to run across the card. I then used a sentiment from the set, stamping with Early Espresso Ink & fussy cutting around it & used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it off the card. Finally, I added a few Earthy Matte Dots (Early Espresso) to finish the card.

Simply Leaves - A Little Something

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm highlighting another Simply Leaves card, gingham could very well be my theme. LOL!

I started this card with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base. For the focal image, I used a wide strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock & stamped the gingham leaf in the Simply Leaves Stamp Set using Blackberry Blisss, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Golden Glow & Old Olive Ink, also stamping one of he sentiments below the leaves with Pecan Pie Ink. I added a few Neutral Matte Dots (Pecan Pie) then attached the stamped piece to a Pecan Pie Cardstock layer before adding it to the card base.

Simply Leaves - Thanks

Hello Stampers,
Happy September y'all I hope all is well! Today marks the 1st day of the new catalog, along with new kits, POTM & Online Exclusives. This week I will be showcasing the Simply Leaves Bundle.

Today's card was inspired by a past sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I started this card with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base & layer that was embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I then used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die-cut a square from Pecan Pie Cardstock. I used the Simple Leaf Punch to punch out 2 leaves using the 2026-28 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP, which I adhered to the square "diamond." Next, I used a sentiment from the Simply Leaves Stamp Set stamping with Pecan Pie Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then used the 3 Banner Punch to punch it out & ran one end through again to make a smaller banner for the sentiment & used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a Linen Thread bow to finish the card.

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.
