Nuts about Squirrels – Make It Monday #79

Create 3 fun fall cards using the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. The leaves are really beginning to turn, which I think is beautiful. The squirrels have been out and about for sometime and I have to say I am not really nuts about squirrels, but I do think this stamp set is adorable.

Don’t forget to click the button below to download the instruction sheet which includes photos, measurements and directions to create all three cards. Click Here if you would to download a copy of the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

Pumpkin Patch with Rustic Harvest DSP

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.

#blessedbycards

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.

3 Fall Cards-Make it Monday #77

Today I thought it would be fun before we all start thinking about Christmas, to share three fall cards with you that I created using the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. I used the Heat Embossing Tool and some gold embossing powder to create three elegant pumpkins for our first card.

#blessedbycards

I am sure there will be a fall card here and there, but I promise to share some Christmas ideas in next Monday’s video. Now is a good time to order those Holiday sets and get started creating your hand-crafted Christmas cards.

Fall Pumpkins-Favorite Things Friday!

Happy Fall Ya’ll! It is finally feeling like fall here in St. Louis and it looks like a great weekend for a baseball game.

The fall leaves are beginning to change colors, the Pumpkin Patch at Theis Farm opens October 1st and the Cardinals are going to the playoffs, and best of all my daughter is coming to STL for the last home game series. Go Cards! Now that is what I call a Favorite Things Friday and it doesn’t get much better than that!

And after all that I guess you are expecting a baseball card! Oh well, an early Thanksgiving card will have to do. I figure, there is no time like the present to plan ahead.

Project Measurements

  • Cajun Craze CS-5½ x 8 ½
  • Mossy Meadow CS-1-1/8 x 4¼ (4),
  • Rustic Harvest DSP-1 x 4¼ (3)
  • Very Vanilla CS-1 x 4

I created my panels by adding designer series paper to the strips of Mossy Meadow CS and added them to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. The greeting is stamped with Cajun Craze in on Very Vanilla and added to another panel of Mossy Meadow. This is a super quick design that is great card for using those left over scrap pieces of designer series paper.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Happy Birthday Apple Harvest

I am excited to share another Apple Harvest card with you. It is part of the Perfect Partners promotion where Stampin’ Up! created dies to coordinate with six different sets in the annual and mini catalog.. Just click here if you missed that post. My Pastor is celebrating his birthday today and I thought I would share with you the card I created for him.

I began with a Basic White card base and added a piece of the black Gingham Cottage checked DSP to the left side of my card. I stamped the large and smaller apples in Memento Black ink and with the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine cropped them using the new coordinating dies in the bundle.

Color in the images with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and attach to the card front using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the birthday greeting from Peaceful Moments in Memento Black and my card was complete. I had fun creating this and hope it brings a little birthday sunshine into my Pastor’s special day.

Leaves, Leaves, Stunning Leaves-Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to leaves. As the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change colors and fall from the trees. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! Thanks to Brian King for organizing this hop for us. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I am loving this theme because I love Fall. I love the changing of the leaves, the falling of acorns and of course the cooler weather. I love to start the day with a hot cup of coffee on a cool crisp fall morning. I hope my card today captures the changes of colors of fall leaves. I used Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake inks.

#blessedbycards

I embossed the front of my card with the Leaf Fall 3-D Embossing folder and I added a few of the gold Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins featured in the July- December mini catalog. If you missed these gems you are going to want to check out the sequins on page 9 and the embossing folder on page 53.

Happy Friday all! If you have been following me for awhile then you know that one of my favorite things is Fall and right now Stampin’ Up!’s Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper is my favorite fall paper. It is featured in the July – December mini catalog on pages 48,49, and 50.
