Grateful for You Card Tutorial

Looking for a fun fall card to say thank you to that someone special? The Elegant Leaves stamp set (168300) might be just the thing you’re looking for to create wonderful projects inspired by falls colors.

And if you love options it’s part of a Bundle that has coordinating Dies too! Making it a lot of fun to work with and gives you tons of options for creating.

Today’s card tutorial focuses on a simple stamping technique, called stamping off. This technique is a great way to get several shades of color from a single ink pad and create wonderful tone on tone images too.

As you can see I’ve done a tone on tone leave and my second leaf uses two different colors pulling in the warm In Color, Golden Glow which I just knew would be wonderful for my projects this autumn when I first saw it.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you along with a PDF that contains a supply list and measurements.

And don’t forget to stop back by next week. While I will be enjoying some time with my daughter I’ve scheduled some things I wanted to share with you while I am away.

Sunflower Fields

Fall, brings rich warm colors to the landscape along with those wonderful fall flowers. Today’s card uses the Sunflower Fields Suite (168365)

that is filled with those rich colors and images.

Check out today’s card that let’s that special someone know you’re thinking about them.

The fun little Early Espresso vase is one of the fun die cut shapes found in the bundle and it’s been filled with a warm Golden Glow flower that has had color added to it with our Stampin’ Blends.

The sentiment repeats that Early Espresso and has been cut out using an old favorite of mine, the Nested Essentials Dies (161597).

A bit of texture is added with the Mossy Meadow & Very Vanilla 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon (168664) and Radiant Gems (168363). And of course the lovely Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper (168351) in the background ties it all together. If you haven’t seen this paper in person it won’t disappoint!

If you don’t have this set of Nested Essential Dies that has been used for this project you’ll want to check them out. I think you’ll find it a really wonderfully versatile set to have on hand as it is filled with some great basic shapes that you can layer.

Why not stop by my Online Store and check out this and other wonderful products that are available for your crafting need. And be sure to check out the Last Chance section, with Tuesday’s update of the Last Chance List you’ll find some wonderful deals too.

Framed & Fabulous Pocket Card

Want to create a fun little card with a pocket to hold your message? Then the fun little pocket card might be just the thing you are looking for.

Check out today’s card highlight the Framed & Fabulous Stamp set (Online Exclusive 170573).

This card also uses the lovely fall Painted Patch Designer Series Paper (168430) and some of the other accessories found in the Painted Patch Suite (168445).

Tug on the little ribbon tag created with the Calypso Coral with Copper Border Ribbon (168489) tied on with a little bow from the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack (168468)

and you’ll reveal this fun little pull out card to place your message on.

How was this card made? It’s a typical card base made a bit shorter but scored the same – so you’ll use a 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″ card base scored at 5 1/2″. Decorate the back of the inside. Then add a strip of our Tear & Tape along the top and the bottom edges of the card front and adhere. The pull out card measures 3 1/4″ x 5″ and slips easily into the pocket. I do recommend you use a Thick Basic White for this or card stock so it moves easily and doesn’t flex as much.

Don’t you love how our products work so well together? If you haven’t seen this Framed & Fabulous Stamp set (Online Exclusive 170573) it’s a versatile one using a beautiful font that is part of a Bundle in our NEW Hot Foil line of products.

And as you can see you don’t have to have the Hot Foil system to enjoy the stamp sets that are part of the Hot Foil bundles.

Why not stop by my Online Store and see all the fun new products like this stamp set?

Today’s card uses simple stamping to create a card to let someone know you are thinking of them this fall.

I’ve used the Elegant Leaves stamp set (168300) that is part of the Elegant Leaves Bundle (168303) for this project along with some fall colors that we are seeing in our surrounding area right now.

A few Radiant Gems (168363), a bit of the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) tied in a bow and the Softly Woven Embossing Folder (168466) add a touch of texture to this card.

I’ve got a tutorial for this card today that I wanted to share with you along with the PDF with the measurements and supply list. So why not check it out?

Elegant Leaves

It’s another beautiful fall day here in North Georgia. And while it is a bit warmer than normal it is still a great day for taking a walk in the woods to enjoy the changing season.

Today’s card uses our beautiful Elegant Leaves Bundle (168303) and it’s beautiful sentiment.

This bundle uses a fun two step stamps that allows you to stamp images multiple ways and in multiple colors. Today’s card uses the detail two step image and dies to create a tone on tone effect for the leaves.

Some of the beautiful Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 168336) and wonderfully rich Autumn Woodland Glimmer Specialty Paper (168335) add a beautiful backdrop for this project.

Do you notice the frame around the sentiment? This was created with the Tile Garden Dies (168573) which has been taken from a square shape to rectangular one simply buy running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss twice.

A simple trick that allows you to create more shapes with this die set staple.

Radiant Sunflowers

Sunflowers, those smiling faces raising about the garden. My son enjoyed planting these when he was in high school and I learned I could dry them and then set them out for the birds as the weather changed from fall to winter giving them an extra food source. We enjoyed watching them outside our dinner each night.

Today’s card highlights one of the lovely sentiments found in the Sunflower Fields Suite (168365).

The card pulls it’s color pallet from the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper (168351) and uses the rich Cajun Craze and Darling Duckling.

I really like these colors together for fall, how about you?

The Party Banner Dies (165264) has been used to cut the plaid pattern and Stampin’ Blends have been used to add color to the die cut sunflower image. A fun little matt Cajun Craze dot from the Painted Patch Adhesive Backed Dots (168443) adds a bit of texture and repeats the dots on the Designer Series Paper too.

Have you noticed all the Halloween goodies popping up in the stores – candy, costumes and fall decor? It won’t be long now, once those fall goodies are seen the holidays aren’t far behind.

So today I thought I’d share with you this fun little card using the Frightfully Fun Suite (Online Exclusive 168183).

This Suite is filled with all kinds of products that allow you to create those Halloween treats and more.

Isn’t this card cute? I love the cute little kittens and ghosts found in this pattern along with the more graphic pattern used. They can be found in the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 168168). And if you haven’t seen them yet the fun little embellishments, Adhesive Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (Online Exclusive 168180) are too stinking cute!

Be sure to check out the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 168168) and the Oh My Fright Bundle (Online Exclusive 168176) for your Fall crafting needs. The Oh My Fright Dies (Online Exclusive 168175) have some great elements to add to your projects.

And of course if the Suite is not available remember you can order the items separately, the Suite’s discount is because of the bundle not everything in the suite.

Poetic Petals

Posted on by

Today’s card uses a quick and simple layout to show off some wonderful images and versatile sentiments. And it’s a layout you can use time and again, simply customizing it with your favorite Designer Series Paper and the sentiment you need.

The Poetic Petals Stamp set (168266) has been used for this card’s layout and this stamp set has some wonderful all occasions sentiments in it that also use some lovely fonts.

This stamp set has been teamed up with the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (POM 168598) which has a wonderful shimmer to it.

A bit more shine was added with the Gold Adhesive Backed Dots (168467). A bit of texture created with the Linen Thread (104199) adds interest too.

What do you think? Can you see yourself adapting this layout with your favorite papers and sentiments? I love layouts like this that can change simply with swapping out a few things to make it your own.
