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.

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.

Radiant Sunflowers - Grateful For You

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was made for this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch & I chose to use a few new products that will be available in September.

I started the card with a Golden Glow Cardstock base, then stamped the sunflower from the Radiant Sunflowers Stamp Set with Golden Glow Ink & placed a strip of the Sunflower Fields DSP on the bottom. Next, I used the Radiant Sunflower Dies with Goldon Glow & Early Espresso Cardstock, along with the Nested Essential Dies to die-cut the Mossy Meadow Cardstock background. For the sentiment, I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set, stamping it with Early Espresso Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, fussy cut around it & then popped it up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Earthy Matte Dots (Early Espresso) to finish the card.

Fun Fold - Autumn Wishes

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by the a Fall Creativate tutorial, I can't believe I haven't made a step card until now.

For this card, I started with a Mossy Meadow Cardstock base, then decorated the front of the card with Autumn Toile DSP. For the focal point, I used Cajun Craze & Very Vanilla Cardstocks, then stamped the pumpkin stamp from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink & colored it in using Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Gray Granite Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, then added a sentiment from the set using Mossy Meadow Ink. Making this card with the small step is probably going to add some bulk to the envelope, I may try it again without the smaller step.
