Flash Color Challenge-October Pumpkin Patch!

Card Challenges, Just Because Cards / / ,

One of the fun things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is being a part of a team with other very talented crafters. This week one of my uplines issued a Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze color challenge. Here is the card I created to post on our private facebook page.

Project Measurements

  • Crumb Cake CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base),4 x 5¼
  • Cajun Craze CS-4 x 5¼
  • Pear Pizazz CS- 3x 4
  • Memento Black Ink
  • This Birthday Piggy
  • Hello Harvest Bundle
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Leaf Fall Embossing Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

I used the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine to dry emboss the Leaf Fall folder with Cajun Craze CS and attached it to the card front. The pumpkins are cropped using the dies in the Hello Harvest Bundle. The “thinking of you” greeting is from This Birthday Piggy was stamped with Memento Black ink on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz CS.

I always find color challenges challenging and technically I don’t think I was supposed to use Memento Black ink. I should have stamped it with Cajun Craze ink. I am looking forward to seeing what my teammates post this month.

Pumpkin Patch with Rustic Harvest DSP

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Thinking of You /

It was beginning to look and feel like fall over the weekend and so I created this pumpkin patch card using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. And then of course yesterday it got up to 81 degrees in St. Louis. So hopefully this card will put you in the fall spirit regardless of the weather in your neighborhood.

Project Measurements

  • Cajun Craze CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base), 1½ x4
  • Old Olive CS-4 x 5¼
  • Basic White CS- 3-7/8 x 5-1/8, 4 x 5¼  
  • Rustic Harvest DSP-Pumpkins  
  • Hello Harvest Bundle
  • Paper Snips
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used my paper snips to fussy cut the pumpkins from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper pack and arranged them to create a pumpkin patch. The getting is stamped with Memento Black ink on Cajun Craze cardstock and cropped using the coordinating dies in the Hello Harvest Bundle.

I just layered the Old Olive CS and the pumpkin panel to the card front and used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the banner. This is a great card to use those half pumpkins on the ends of the DSP. I hate for any of our amazing paper to go to waste.

You are Wonderful-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Thank You /

I am excited to share with you one of my favorite things, a clean and simple cards. I love simple cards that come together quickly. Today’s card was created with the Happiness Abounds Bundle and the coordinating designer series paper. I cut the designer series on the diagonal and used my paper snips to cut a few flowers to add near the greeting.

Begin with a gorgeous grape card base and Basic White CS to the front. Next add a layer of the designer series paper on the diagonal and stamp greeting in Memento Black ink. Add the cut flowers and you are all finished. Such a simple, yet elegant cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
