Saying Goodbye to the Earthen Textures

The Earthen Textures Bundle (retiring 161514) is one of the items found in our retiring Earthen Elegance Suite and while the suite is sold out the components of the suite can be purchased separately and you’ll still save 10% on the bundle.

Here are some lovely cards made with this Bundle. You’ll love the stamp set has tons of built in texture and is great for masculine cards as well as all occasions with it’s wonderful sentiment choices.

This pack of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (retiring 161503) uses our 2023 In Colors which gives it a nice earthy feel too. This first card uses our Moody Mauve as a grid behind the sentiment.

And this next card uses a simple technique, the torn edge technique along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) to add even more texture to the card.

And this next card uses Copper Clay and Very Vanilla to create a wonderful Monochromatic card.

Texture has been added to the sentiment with the Scalloped Contour Dies (retiring 155560) and Adhesive Backed Solid Gems (Retiring 161300). This next card uses Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, and the Pebbled Path In Colors to create the focal point.

The Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) adds a fun stucco look to the back ground and the Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim (retiring 161517) adds a fun look. Last but not least this last card lets the Earthen Textures Dies (retiring 161513) and Designer Series Paper do the work for you.

The Pecan Pie works well as a back drop that has been dry embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and layered on to the Pretty Peacock layer.

This bundle is lots of fun to work with as you can see and these products are while supplies last.

Pick of the Patch

There was a little nip to the air this morning when I got up as it was in the 50’s. Yep, 50’s you can defiantly feel fall is on it’s way and with it our fall leaf watchers, apple stands, and pumpkins will be popping up for folks to enjoy on their trip to the mountains. So I thought it would be a great time to share a couple of great swaps with you that I received using the Pick of the Patch Bundle (162201).

This first card uses the set in a traditional way and teams it up with some leaves from the Autumn Leaves Dies.

And this next card uses the set in a non traditional way. I love the thinking out of the box that is used with this card to create flowers!

The Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) and Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) add some texture and interest to the card. Fun right? If you would like to see the tutorial I shared with you using this bundle from earlier this month CLICK HERE.

So what do you think? See the possibilities for your own fall crafting fun?

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you.

Fun Folds with Designer Series Paper

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to share another fun tutorial with you. This month our Designer Series Papers are on sale and so I thought I’d share a fun fold with you that shows off our beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467). After all who isn’t a fan of blue? And this paper with it’s shades of blue is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. It’s also on sale during the month of June, woohoo who doesn’t like to save?

I’ve teamed up this paper with the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052) because I love the bold sentiments. The fact that you can team up the bold sentiments with the secondary sentiment which uses a lovely font is a bonus too.

And with so many shades of blue to choose from in our Classic Inks your options are endless. Today’s project uses our new 2023-2023 In Color Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and our returning Balmy Blue Classic Inks.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you so you can make this fun fold too! I’ve got a printable tutorial with the measurements, supply list and more to make crafting easy.

Daffodil Daydream

It’s spring and the sweet little daffodils are shinning their little faces up to the sun, that is when it isn’t raining. Daffodils always make me think of my childhood since my mother always had them on the table for Easter. Always one of the first pops of color in the garden that my mom loved to tend. So today I thought I’d share with you some cards that use the Daffodil Daydream (157786) stamp set and their coordinating Daffodil Dies (157794).

This first card teams up the images that have been colored with our Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends

and highlighted with the beautifully versatile Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) done in our In colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. And this next card uses that same Evening Evergreen to create this lovely Easter card.

The 2021-2023 IN Color Designer Series Paper (159254) adds a bit of interest with it’s pattern and some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) adds a bit of shimmer and sun kissed look to the flowers.

And for my final card this final fun fold card

The sweet little Brass Butterflies (158136) and lovely stitched edge adds some nice details too.

If you love daffodils as much as I do why not stop by my Online Store and check this lovely stamp set and dies out today?

And if you love flowers and a eclectic feel this Queen Bee Bundle (160485) might be right already be on your radar since this bee’s details is just lovely.

Done in bright color of Melon Mambo and Mango Melody it uses the dies to add the flower details onto the stamped image and do you see the cute little flowers by the sentiment? They are our Loose Daisy Embellishments (160555). I just LOVE the way Stampin’ Up! products work so well together.
