Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards

Hello Harvest-Card #2

Hey friends I hope you are having a fantastic day. Here is card #2 from this week’s Make It Monday video tutorial on the Hello Harvest Bundle. CLICK HERE if you missed that post.

I may have cheated just a bit on this one and used the leaves from the Fond of Autumn Bundle! You have to admit, they pair nicely together.

Here is another card I created for you using this same bundle. I created the pumpkin the same way as in the video and decided to use the leaves from the stamp set. I stamped a variety of leaves using Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie ink. To get the lighter images, simply stamp off to create the second generation image.

It is difficult to see in this photo but the Pumpkin Pie leaf at the top and the Old Olive leaf overlapping the pumpkin is cut out with the leaf die. All the other leaves are stamped directly onto the cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink.

Here is a close up look at these two Bundles! Now is a great time to add these bundles to your stamping stash and earn FREE Sale-a-bration products! Our current host code is 9FZ3JJVB.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Beauty of the Earth-Thanksgiving

The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack is perfect for this time of year. Today, I paired this DSP with the Word Wishes Dies to create a simple fall/Thanksgiving card.

I love this paper! It it double sided and some of the sheets are perfect for creating scrapbook borders.

I began with a Cinnamon Cider card base and a 3½ x 5¼” piece of Beauty of the Earth DSP. To the right side of the DSP I added a strip of Cajun Craze cardstock.

I used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Word Wishes Dies to crop Happy Thanksgiving with Black cardstock. This was a super easy card and if you notice it has no stamping at all!

Favorite Things Friday-Crafting With Friends

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to gather with some fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and gathering with friends is one of my favorite things, especially when we craft together. At this event each demonstrator brought a project to share and so I was able to create some really amazing cards.

Today, I would like to share just a few of the cards I created. I hope to share more in the coming weeks. I want to give a shout out to my fellow demonstrators, you know who you are, unfortunately I don’t know who’s card is who, so thank you one and all!

Cutest Halloween Bundle of Ghosts!

Happy Halloween -I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

I thought I would share one last Halloween card using the Cutest Halloween Bundle. I began with a Basic Gray card base and added a layer of Basic Black CS that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Timber 3-D Embossing folder. I cut a black spider web using the Frightful Tag Dies and the ghosts and greeting are from the Cutest Halloween Bundle

The greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White CS which I cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Enjoy your day!

Festive Fall and Gorgeous Leaves

Thanks again to my friend Cherie from Columbia, MO who created both of today’s cards. She came to visit at the beginning of October to attend the Cards and Cocktails event that I hosted for World Card Making Day. That was great fun and we are definitely doing that again, although I don’t think I am going to wait until next October! I was thinking of a January event to ring in the new year, stay tuned for details on when and where!

Both of today’s cards were created using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. It is quite appropriate as the weather here in St. Louis is quite brisk. The leaves are beginning to turn, but are not as vibrant as the ones in our card samples,! Oh well, perhaps next year.

Supplies for Card #1

  • Night of Navy CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2), 1 x 2  
  • Basic White CS-3¼ x 4¼, 1 x 1

  • Cherry Cobbler Ink
  • Crushed Curry CS- 2x 2
  • Crushed Curry Ink
  • Night of Navy Ink
  • Smoky Slate Ink

  • Attach greeting label with Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Add 4 x 5 ¼ white panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

Card # 2 is again using the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and some rich fall colors. It is stepped up from the last card and I absolutely love how it turned out. This would make such a great male birthday card or even a sympathy card.

Supplies for Card #2

  • Soft Suede CS-5½ x 8½, (card base), 3 x 4
  • Very Vanilla CS- 4 x 5 ¼ and 1 ½ x 3 1/2

  • Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.

After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

Peaceful Cabin Fall & Summer Cards-Weekly Wednesday #10

Well if you have not had a chance to order the Peaceful Cabin bundle, you are going to want to do that soon. It is the perfect bundle to create a quiet winter scene, but I am excited to share with you today’s video on how to create a fall and summer card using this bundle.


For most of my life, with an exception of a few years in California, I have lived in the Mid-West. I love the changing of the four seasons and that is probably what I missed most about living in San Francisco. No Snow! Wherever you live, the Peaceful Cabin is sure to bring you a changing of the seasons.

Supplies and Instructions

This Bundle is one of those rare versatile sets that allows our creative juices to run free. I am secretively hoping they come out with a sister set that has tiny flowers, birds and bunnies to create a fun summer scene. We shall see……

Stinkin’ Cute Halloween Card-Make It Monday #28

Today’s tutorial is a super easy but seriously cute Halloween card. It was created with a Basic Gray card base and some added layers of Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather cardstock. I used the Frightful Tag Dies as well as the Festive and Bright stamp set.

The Boo! was stamped in Memento Black and is from the Banner Year stamp set, which might be my all time favorite fall stamp set. I also used a few stamps from the Banner Year set on the inside. I hope this inspires you to create some spooky, but fun cards for this Halloween.

Supplies and Instructions

I don’t typically send a lot of Halloween cards, but the Frightful Tag dies are so stinkin’ cute! And while I really hate spiders, there is something adorable about this simple black spider web. Join me Wednesday for another Weekly Wednesday video and next week for another Make it Monday!
