Glow of Harvest Thankful For You Card

Here is a card you could send someone for Thanksgiving or any time, especially in the fall. This Glow of Harvest Thankful For You Card is perfect for a fall birthday, Thanksgiving, Thinking of You, or any occasion. I used the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper, which was the Product of the Month back in August. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available, but maybe you already have it. I didn’t get to use very much of mine yet, so I decided to make this card with this paper because I think it is so pretty! A good substitute would be the Painted Patch Designer Series Paper or whatever you have in your stash!

The card base is Cajun Craze. It is the usual 8 1/2″x 5 1/2″ size, scored at 4 1/4″, but then I cut off 1/4″ from the front. That allowed me to add a strip of a different pattern in the DSP package 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ on the inside of the card on the right side, which would then show from the front. On the front of the card, I cut a piece of the Glow of Harvest DSP that is 3 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. This paper is so pretty with its floral designs, but it also has a shimmer on the front.

For the greeting, I chose this one from the Framed & Fabulous Stamp Set and stamped it in Cajun Craze ink on Basic White cardstock. Then it was diecut with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For some embellishment, I cut out some flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of DSP with my Detail Scissors (great for fussy-cutting!). I used Dimensionals on the lower parts of the cut-out florals so they would be even with the greeting and the parts that overlap on to the circle are glued down flat on the greeting. I also added some white Pearls of Beauty (retired). You can use whatever embellishments you have.

On the inside of the card, I would also add a panel of Basic White cardstock that would be hidden underneath the card front since the Cajun Craze is a dark color, making it difficult to stamp or write a personal message to the recipient.

Have fun making some nice Thanksgiving cards to send to friends or those who you won’t get to be with on the holiday!

Scalloped Christmas Cheer Christmas Card

Leave a reply
Tis the Season Christmas Card

It’s time to be making Christmas cards if you want to avoid stress later in December! Now is the time to ENJOY our hobby of cardmaking and papercrafting without trying to beat the mailman coming down the street! This Scalloped Christmas Cheer Christmas Card is actually pretty basic and easy when you look at it.

The card base is Real Red with a green plaid layer from the designer series paper, A Stitched Season. Even if you don’t care for the quilt-look of one side of the papers, the “other side” has good generic patterns that you can use on a card like this. To add a little red, I added a strip of this red print paper cut at 1″ x 5 1/4″.

For the focal point of the card, I diecut a piece of Basic White cardstock with the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies. I love this set of dies and hope Stampin’ Up! keeps them around for a while despite the word Christmas in the name. We had similar dies a few years ago, but with small scallops. These seem more fun! The greeting is stamped in Real Red ink using the sentiment in the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Stamp Set. You can purchase the stamp set and dies together in a Bundle and save 10%. The holly leaves are stamped in the corner with Peaceful Pine ink and the berries in Real Red ink. I love the large font for the greeting! On the inside of the card, I added a Basic White layer so I could stamp the “making spirits bright” greeting in the same stamp set.

For a little bling, I couldn’t resist adding three sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins. These should be back in stock the week of November 16. Fill out the email notification form on the page for the sequins so you know when you can order them. You will want these for your holiday cards!

Season of Celebration Ephemera Christmas Card

Leave a reply
Season of Celebration Ephemera Christmas Card

This card starts with a card base of Real Red cardstock and a layer of Basic White cardstock. It has a top fold just for something different. I had a 2″ scrap of Real Red that I cut down to 5 1/4″ to fit on the Basic White layer and embossed it with the Seasonal Cheer candy canes embossing folder. This set of embossing folders has the candy canes, autumn leaves, and Halloween bats. They are narrow folders, not full size. I hadn’t even remembered to use mine but I thought they were good for lots of designs.

Once you have your basic card ready to design, pull out your Season of Celebration Ephemera Pack and see what you have. You can punch out lots of pieces, play around with different ones, and see what design you end up with! Once you lay out your design, take a picture of the design with your phone so you can put the pieces back in the proper places that you have chosen after moving them to adhere them. These particular ephemera pieces have adhesive on the back, so you can just peel off the backing and use them like stickers. If you want to pop something up, just leave on the backing and use Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I decided to use two of the gifts and a plaid circle for a little extra something in the background. I even chose a greeting that was in the package and popped that up with Dimensionals. You could pop up one or more of the packages if you wanted. I also added two greenery pieces to the side of the greeting. You could also stamp a greeting and not use ephemera for that if you liked. For a final touch, I added three silver sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins for a little sparkle.

In case you were waiting for the Season of Celebration Ephemera Pack to be back in stock, I have good news! As of yesterday, the ephemera pack was back in stock! If you ever want to order something or think you might want to order something that is “currently unavailable,” go ahead and fill out the email form that will be right there on the screen so that you will be notified as soon as it is available again. This is a great system. If you know a product is super popular, it would be wise to order right away when you get that email notification because some things go right back out of stock.

Ephemera packs are great for cardmaking, especially for beginners, and certainly for scrapbooking. Even if you don’t use this pack for cardmaking, you can prepare some scrapbook pages or small album pages ahead of time and add these cute ephemera pieces!

Painted Patch Thankful Card For November

Painted Patch Thankful Card For November

Happy November! Who knew November would finally get here? It seems like we went from summer straight into October and Halloween, and now it is already November! I feel like Thanksgiving is a week away. And some people online think Christmas begins the day after Halloween!! Really?! How tired of your Christmas decorations are you going to be by Christmas Day? Let’s slow down and enjoy the autumn in November before we rush into only thinking about Christmas.

For the first week in November, I wanted to start with a card that made us think of fall, and this Painted Patch Thankful Card For November does that, I believe. I love the Painted Patch Designer Series Paper! The colors and the pumpkins and gourds are fun to use when making fall cards and projects. I especially love this sheet with the dark Secret Sea background. It really makes the leaves, pumpkins, and gourds stand out!

The card base is Secret Sea, although you could use Basic Black or any of the colors in the paper. I added a layer of Golden Glow cardstock (one of the In Colors) cut at the usual 4″ x 5 1/4″. The designer series paper is then cut slightly smaller at 3 3/4″ x 5″. I wrapped around a piece of the Calypso Coral with Copper Border 3/8″ Ribbon and added a bow that I tied separately and adhered with Mini Glue Dots. I didn’t realize how beautiful this ribbon was until I used it! That copper sparkle along the edges is really nice.

For the greeting, I inked up just the word “Thankful” from the “Thankful For You” stamp in the Framed and Fabulous Stamp Set. I used Calypso Coral ink. Then I chose a die in the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies set. Even if you don’t use it for hot foiling on this card, you can use the open dies to cut out labels and frames as you normally would with die-cutting. After cutting out the word “Thankful,” I thought it needed more, so I added a piece of Calypso Coral underneath. But I didn’t like just the rectangle shape so I fussy-cut around the die shape as best I could, and I liked that better. I popped up the greeting and added two little sequins I had handy from a Paper Pumpkin Kit, which I think match beautifully on the card.

Since the Secret Sea is such a dark color, you will need to add a Basic White or other light color of cardstock to the inside for stamping a greeting or writing a personal message. Add a few fussy-cut images from the paper in the corner for a surprise decoration inside the card.

Since I didn’t have a “Happy Thanksgiving” greeting to use, I thought partially inking up a stamp with Thankful on it worked just fine! If you are sending out Thanksgiving cards it’s time to make those cards and get them in the mail soosn! Use whatever greetings you have, there are lots in your stash that will work for the season of Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween! Here’s a Treat!

Halloween Treat Holder

Happy Halloween today! Hope you are ready for a fun Halloween night, going out to a party, trick-or-treating, or passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters! I hope it is not rainy or too cold. Every kid deserves a fun Halloween night! It will be part of their childhood memories for the rest of their life!

If you need one last Halloween idea for an easy little candy holder for Halloween, try this one. You can change it up for other occasions as well and change the dimensions depending on what candy you have.

For this sample, I cut a piece of cardstock at 7 “x 2 1/2”. It is scored at 3/4″, 3-3/4″, and 4-1/4″. As I said, you might want to make it wider, longer, or have a wider space where the two score lines are at the top. Maybe you want it turned the other way so the part that folds over is at the top. Do whatever you like.

I just used a scrap of striped paper from the back of one of the monster faces on the Spooktacular 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. You can use whatever you have. My paper is cut at 2″x 2 3/4″. Stamp a pumpkin or cut one out of designer paper as I did from the Painted Patch Designer Series Paper. I had a Halloween stamp set from a Paper Pumpkin Kit nearby so I just used that for the greeting and to stamp the face on the pumpkin. There are so many fun things you can do with these! Here’s a very similar idea from a few years ago. You can also add a small strip of designer series paper to the bottom portion. Staple the candy inside and tuck in the top flap or use a few Mini Glue Dots, or punch holes and tie with ribbon. Just have fun!

Hope the Great Pumpkin brings you lots of Halloween candy!

Velvet Meadow Thinking of You Card

Velvet Meadow Thinking of You Card

Maybe you would like to see a card that isn’t Halloween, fall, or Christmas! This Velvet Meadow Thinking of You Card is very simple to make because of the paper’s pattern. I hadn’t used this Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper in awhile, but when I came across it among my designer papers, I couldn’t resist the soft flocking! That gives the paper such a special touch! And you will want to touch it!

This card is made with the sheet of paper that can be cut into six sections because the floral pattern is at the top and the bottom of the paper. Therefore, you can cut the paper into 4″ strips and then cut from each end at 5 1/4″ length, omitting the extra “plain” section in the middle. You can use those six panels for six different cards!

I used Peaceful Pine cardstock for this card and made it a top fold just for fun. A side fold works fine too. The greeting is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink on Basic White cardstock. The greeting is in the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set. It fits perfectly cut out with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. For the Peaaceful Pine layer underneath, I also used a larger Nested Essentials Die, but I trimmed it down just inside the pierced “stitching” around the edge. I didn’t want to take up any more space on the card.

For a little embellishment, I added a pink bow with the 1/8″ wide ribbon. I forget exactly which ribbon it is, but you can use what you have or some twine. There are also a few white Moody Palette Dots on the card front. These dots are great for mailing because they are almost flat. This paper is still available in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store so grab it while you can.

Here is another card I made by cutting out the flowers from the paper and popping them up over “the other side” of one of the papers.

Painted Patch Birthday Card For Fall

Painted Patch Birthday Card For Fall

If you need a birthday card for fall, just grab the pretty Painted Patch Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I already had the pattern with the Cajun Craze background color picked out to make a card with. But I also kind of liked the paper with the pinkish colors, so I decided to make this card with the three panels of designer series paper. I’m not sure what that design is called!

The card base is Cajun Craze. It’s a color I don’t often use, but it’s great for the fall season! After playing around with other colors, I chose Petal PInk cardstock for a layer on top of the card base. But I adhered the designer papers to this piece to line them up before adhering that to the card base. The Petal Pink piece is 4″ x 5 1/4″.

I used two of the Cajun Craze DSP pieces on the right side and left side and the pinkish panel in the middle. It is mostly covered by the greeting. I cut these three pieces at 1 1/2″ wide and 3 3/4″ long. This allows for a space in between the DSP panels and around the margins. If you want the three panels to touch and not have the spaces between them, then you’ll have to adjust the measurements.

For the greeting, I used the birthday greeting in the Framed & Fabulous Stamp Set. It is stamped with Cajun Craze ink on Basic White. I used the Tile Garden Dies to cut out the greeting and the Cajun Craze layer underneath. I love these dies, all the sizes to layer, and the different borders on them!

I could have stopped at that point, but I thought it would be fun to cut out some leaves and acorns to add to the greeting from the designer series paper. They add a little extra color and interest without taking away from the color theme of the card. I also added a little double bow made with Linen Thread. I think our Linen Thread is one of the best basics to have in your “stash” of stamping supplies. It is so useful so many times, especially when you want just a little something extra without overdoing it.

On the inside of the card, I added a white layer for a stamped or written message with a strip of designer series paper at the bottom plus two more leaves in the corner. It just makes the inside of the card look a little interesting, too, like the outside!

If you are never not quite sure what card to make, just get out a pack of designer series paper and pull out all the sheets and see what appeals to you! Maybe just one sheet, maybe a couple! Just play and see what you come up with!

Painted Patch Pumpkins Hello Card

Leave a reply
Painted Patch Pumpkins Hello Card

Do you ever look through your packs of designer series paper and say, “Oh, I forgot I had this paper!” or “Oh, I haven’t used this one in a long time!” That’s how I came across this paper, so I made this Painted Patch Pumpkins Hello Card with the Painted Patch Designer Series Paper. I love this paper! It has so many interesting patterns in it, and although I have used it, I haven’t used it enough!

I didn’t go crazy thinking of a hundred different cards I could make with this and which paper I should use, etc. I just jumped in with the first patterns that caught my eye. The card base is one of the new In Colors, Golden Glow. I thought this pattern of the Painted Patch DSP with a Golden Glow background, with leaf shapes that are not filled in with color or design, looked nice for a background of pumpkins!

Although this paper is part of the Painted Patch Suite Collection, and the designer series paper and stamp set include dies that cut out certain pumpkins and other elements, I don’t own the dies, so I fussy-cut the pumpkins from one of the sheets of designer paper. I have the new Detail Scissors, which took the place of the scissors we have used for years. I just played around a little bit arranging the colorful pumpkins and thinking about a greeting until I had them positioned how I liked them. All but the pumpkin in the back are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a piece of Very Vanilla. This was diecut with one of the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. The sentiment is from the Simply Leaves Stamp Set. For a finishing touch, I added some Painted Patch Dots randomly around the card.

If you want to see another card made with the Painted Patch DSP, check out this one and this one.

Check out your supply of designer series papers and see what paper you have neglected for a while! I bet you will find something you will enjoy!
