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?
Do you enjoy learning new technique that you can use in your projects? I know I do and fall is a great time to dust them off and use them since they can create a wow factor to your projects. So today I’m sharing a Ink Swipe Technique that I recently shared with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers at our October Team Meeting.
This technique is quick and simple to do using some of your favorite colors for fall. And why not pull out that Very Vanilla card stock too? I love using this card stock during the holidays as it has a warmer less bright feel to it.
Want to see how I created this card? Check out my video tutorial and PDF.
Loveliest Tree Ink Swipe Technique Card & Technique Book Page PDF
Not only does my PDF contain everything you need to create this card, it also has a fun technique page for a technique book you can build to keep the tutorials in.
I don’t know about you, but when I first started stamping I kept every card as a reference, which was silly since I should have been using them! These technique book page is something I share in my classes just like the card sketches. So why not join me for a class and learn some fun new things?

The images from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set (165883) have been colored using Stampin’ Blends for a bold look and instead of using the traditional Memento Tuxedo Black the image has been stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink.
This Joy Fold Card has a bit of a twist. Instead of using the card stock as the left side of the card as is traditional it uses the layer of Designer Series Paper instead. Open the card and it shows off both lovely patterns.
Simply take your traditional card base and adhere the 6″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper that has been scored at 4″ onto the card front. Then add your focal point panel (a piece of Old Olive card stock that measure 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″; scored at 3 1/4″) to the card front as desired. Open the card base and you still have a large area for your message too. Cool right?
Did you know that you can use our Classic Inks when coloring with our Blends? Since they are water based you can use any of the Classic Pads to customize your look, why not give it a try for your next project?
If you enjoyed this little twist on the Joy Fold card why not try it for a card you’re making? I love swapping with my fellow demonstrators and learning new little things like this so I can share them with you!
Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you that is perfect for fall!

And this card was inspired by the creation Stampin’ Up! shared with us. Don’t you love being able to CASE (copy and share everything)? And why not change it up a bit to suit you and make it yours like this card does?
Wonder how the sentiment was created? It’s simple stamp your sentiment onto a strip of card stock the height you’d like and then run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss using the Die to coordinate with the die cut Designer Series Paper. Yep, it’s that simple to create those wonderful sentiments for this project.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another fun card using the Gathering Moments Bundle.
The leaves are scattered across my front lawn and the golds are showing off their colors already. Where did the summer go? With the holidays around the corner I thought I’d share some wonderful Autumn cards with you today using the Amber Autumn Stamp Set (165883) and their coordinating dies.
This Bundle is part of the Autumn Toile Suite (165904) so you have lots of wonderful products to create with.
today’s card both use the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper (165882) with it’s rich fall color pallet and images. This first card uses a fun fold to show off the beautiful paper.
Open it and you’ll see the first sentiment hiding behind the Autumn Wishes.
Lift the flap and you’ll see the signature panel along with the other side of the Designer Series Paper, showing you the full coordination that we all love Stampin’ Up! for.
This next card uses the same pattern of Designer Series Paper but takes a different direction
using the Cajun Craze as a bold pop of color against the Early Espresso. The sentiment has been punched out using the Modern Oval Punch (162234) and popped up along with the die acorns and leaves to give it a bit of shadow. The Rhinestones have been colored with the Stampin’ Blends add a bit of richness to the card.

You can hear the leaves rustle? We’ve had a breezing cool few days here in North Georgia and the colors have really started to pop against the hill sides and along the roads. It feels like it’s happened overnight, but I know it’s a combination of shorter days and cooler nights that create this wonderful array of colors. So today I thought it felt right to share a couple of autumn inspired cards using the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186).
This bundle has some great sentiments and images for fall crafting and today’s cards use a couple of simple techniques to create some great autumn cards. This first card uses the fun Baby Wipe Technique that uses our Reinkers.
Grab a couple of baby wipes, a few reinkers of your choice and create your own ink pad to create this look. How’s it done? Fold your baby wipes so they create a a size that will work well with your stamp choice, use your of rinkers and place drops of ink randomly around the surface, repeat until you have a variety of colors filling in the space. Then go ahead and stamp! Yep that is it. Just a tip tho, you’ll want to clean your stamp in between your stamping as you’ll muddy the colors on the baby wipe if you don’t. Have fun with it and enjoy the process, you’ll create an original look each time you stamp!
The leaf shape die has been used to cut out the card front stamped panel and then again from the Designer Series Paper. The Designer Series Paper has been placed in the negative spot using Stampin’ Dimensionals creating a bit of a shadow effect. The Crumb Cake card base peeks through from behind enhancing this effect. The tone on tone stamping is a great backdrop and the bit of Linen Thread (104199) and Adesive Backed Speckled Dots (162191) ties the color scheme together nicely.
So what do you think? Need a birthday card? simply swap out the sentiment with one of your choices these layouts aren’t just for Thanksgiving.

Today’s cards use the Rustic Crate images for Autumn. This set is one of those with lovely images and sentiments that you can use through the fall, winter and even spring. Simply switch out the image that fills the crate or use it on it’s own.
Today’s cards use the fall image on it’s own. This first card teams up two of our In Colors, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path.
Stampin’ Blends have been used to create bold color on the image and a bit of color has been added to the panel using our Blending Brushes (153611). A bit of the Burlap Ribbon found in our Combo Pack (160386) has been used to add a bit of texture and the crate image has been stamped in Pecan Pie to create a tone on tone back drop.
