A Touch of Fall-Gorgeous Leaves

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / August 19, 2021

Yesterday’s blog hop really got me in mood for fall so I thought I would share another card that I created using the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle. I really like the look of Cajun Craze with a splash of Garden Green. Here I also added a bit of Old Olive. Again the Blessed sentiment is from the Festive and Bright Bundle.

I know, I know, I have used this greeting twice in a row and have totally neglected the images from this bundle. Next week, I plan to showcase a card of two using images in Festive and Bright! Stay tuned…….

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / April 17, 2021

I am excited to share with you another card that I made with some Forever Greenery designer series paper scraps. This card features the Rooted in Nature set and the greeting is from Framed For You. Both of these sets will retire at the end of this month.

Don’t forget if you live in the St. Louis area, I would love for you to join us for our monthly stamp camps. CLICK HERE for upcoming dates.

Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and layer it to the card front.
Cut a 2 ¾ x 2 ¾” square of Forever Greenery designer series paper and cut it in half on the diagonal. Layer one of the halves to the lower left corner of the Pear Pizzazz panel.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the top of the large tree from Rooted in Nature in Shaded Spruce ink and the trunk in Soft Suede.
Stamp the greeting from Framed For You in Soft Suede in the upper left corner of the white panel and attach to a 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 piece of Soft Suede cardstock.
Attach tree layer to the card front.
Cut a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside and decorate as desired.

Happy Thanksgiving

4 Comments / Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / November 26, 2020

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving! On this day it is good to pause and thank the Lord for His abundant graces. We are certainly living in challenging times and no doubt things are very different this year from last and so I pray that you are staying healthy and that your day is filled with peace and happiness. I thought I would take this opportunity to make one more fall card, so here it is…..Happy Thanksgiving!

I started with a Bumblebee card base and added top layer of Very Vanilla. embossed with the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder and a strip of the Plaid Tidings to the bottom, leaving a small gap for the Bumblebee to show through.. The leaves on the wreath are punched from Bumblebee, Sahara Sand and Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the sprig punch.

This card features the Banner Year set and I admit I have not been very good at reaching for this set and I don’t know why because it is so versatile. The squirrel is so cute stamped in the Cinnamon Cider. I added him to the banner and stamped the greeting in Memento Black. I added some few pumpkins in Sahara Sand and Pumpkin Pie and yes, I had to fussy cut them, but it was pretty easy. The stems of the pumpkins are stamped with the new In-Color, Just Jade. I put rhinestones on some of the pumpkins and on the right side of the wreath and to finish is off, I added a small linen bow.

I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. As always as we are counting our blessings let us remember those who are hungry and of’ course those who struggle to find shelter. May God continue to bless and care for us all!
Thanks for stopping by and until next time be Blessed!
Stamping Hugs and Blessings,
Renae
