Soft Seedlings

Posted on August 22, 2022 by Stamp with Jini

The evenings are getting cooler and it won’t be long before the days are noticeably shorter, fall is right around the corner. While I’ll miss the pace summer and it’s warm sunny days I always enjoy, today’s project is inspired by those fall colors we’ll be seeing soon.

The Soft Seedlings stamp set (159905) from our Mini Catalog was used to create this lovely card.

This set with it’s lovely font and sentiments is perfect for techniques with its Distinktive images.

For this card a bit of color has been added to the stem with an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and then Cajun Craze has been added to the leaves and seeds using a Sponge Dauber. After that another Sponge Dauber added a bit of Early Espresso to the tips for a bit more color giving it an Autumn feel. Our Layering Diorama Dies (155565) were used to layer the image and the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) with their fun stitched edges were used to pop up the sentiment. Interest was added to the background layer with the seeding images and a bit more sponging to add a bit of interest.

So what do you think? Do the colors used for this card evoke the feel of fall to you?

These fun Sale-a-bration products will bring a smile to your face. The Hippest Hippo (Sale-a-bration 159921) is filled with fun sentiments and great images to color.

And the Hippo Dies (Sale-a-bration 159928) give you great add on options too!

And great news you can earn them with a qualifying order one at time or together – the choice is yours. Here are some cards that were created using these two products that I received in my swap.

This first card uses our Scalloped Contour (155560) and Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820) to highlight the ballerina and her little umbrella. Texture was added to the card with the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (157980), can you see it? And do you recognized the paper that was used for the umbrella? Its from our pack of Free Rings of Love Designers Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 159939). And this next card uses our fun Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper (159651) as a back drop along with the fun Split Card Texture Dies (159162) found in the Annual Catalog on page 174.

Our 2022-2024 In Color Matt Decorative Dots (159186) and Fun Flower Resin Shapes (159123) add a bit more whimsy to the card. And next up is a sweet simple card done in Real Red and Pool Party – a great color combination.

Our Blending Brushes (153611) and Pool Party Classic Ink (147107) were used behind the hippo to highlight her. And last but not least this fun water themed card was made using products from the Mini Catalog.

I just love the way our products coordinate, don’t you? Not only does this card used the Hippo Dies for the wave it also uses our Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (host 159913) and Adhesive Backed Sequins and Gems (159972). If you haven’t seen these Sequins and Gems in person I can tell you they are dazzling!
