Vintage Leaves and Leaflets Framelits

It’s cooling down here this week in Central New York, and I have one tree in the back yard that’s actually dropping leaves already – a sure sign that Autumn is just around the corner.  I love the Vintage Leaves stamp set by Stampin’ Up! because it reminds me of all the beautiful colors of the autumn leaves in my area.  And this perfect autumn stamp set comes with coordinating Framelits – Leaflets Framelits – so that you can cut out each one of the leaf shapes.  This duo is a must have for the fall, and you’ll save 15% when you bundle them together and purchase both at the same time.

• My color scheme is Rich Razzleberry, Delightful Dijon, Old Olive and Very Vanilla – such rich, vibrant colors!
• I kept this card simple so as to show off the leaves and my favorite accessory for the fall – our Burlap Ribbon.
• Using two Circle Framelits I stacked the smaller one inside the larger one and cut the thin Rich Razzleberry cardstock circle.  And you’re going to fall in love with a brand new product that you can order on September 1st – the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  This is idea for adhering small embellishments and small paper cutouts to your projects, and it’s designed so that the tip will stay open and flowing freely.  And once the Holiday Catalog goes live, go to www.stampinup.com/holiday-videos to watch a short video on how to use this wonderful addition to the Stampin’ Up! adhesives.
• The beautiful sentiment on my card is another sneak peek product from the Holiday Catalog – the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.  This too coordinates with the Leaflets Framelits, but the leaves are more . . . well . . . “lighthearted”!  I think combining all three products will give you lots of options.

• A Linen Thread double bow held in place with a Glue Dot gives the illusion of tying the leaves together at the stems without all the work.

Stamping with Baby Wipe Technique

I just love using the Baby Wipe Technique with Stampin’ Up! Ink Refills!  And this technique works really well with Seasonally Scattered, a fun stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.  Here’s how you’ll begin:

• Choose about 4 colors for your palette.  I wanted this to be a Fall look, but I also wanted it to look just a little different than the usual colors, so I chose Crushed Curry, Rose Red, Garden Green and Eggplant Envy.

• Fold a baby wipe in half and lay it on a surface that won’t bleed through.  I use my old-style stamp case.  This way, I can shut the lid and my inks stay wet for quite some time.
• Squeeze about 10 drops of each color ink onto the baby wipe, being sure not to leave white spaces between the colors.

• Press your stamp into your homemade ink pad then stamp.  Be sure to clean your stamp each time you use it so that your colors don’t get muddy.

• I used a thin border of Elegant Eggplant cardstock between the two layers of Very Vanilla.  My accessories are the Hello Honey Ribbon (close enough to the Crushed Curry ink) with an Autumn Wooden Element.

Bundle and Save 15% on Fun Fall and Fall Fest

Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits have been my favorite new Stampin’ Up! products this Fall!  I love all of the interchangeable components in the stamp set, making it great for Halloween and Fall all in one set.  And when you purchase both at the same time, you’ll save 15% on the set!

Remember when we were “all over” the new In Colors when they were introduced in June?  And then I sort of forgot about them for a bit.  Well, now is the time to pull them out and use them like crazy!  Look at this beautiful Fall pallette – Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey.

• I really wanted to highlight these beautiful colors that look so great together, so I used some color blocking as my backdrop.
• A Whisper White Cardstock oval was cut using the Oval Framelits and Big Shot.  All of the images were stamped on Whisper White Cardstock then cut out using the Fun Fall Framelits.
• I tied a piece of Linen Thread around the larger pumpkin and slipped on an Autumn Wooden Element.  You’ll find these sweet little accents being used over and over again on your Fall projects.
• Dimensionals are important with any card, but this one in particular to achieve the realistic overlay of the various pieces.  The smaller pumpkin and leaf are brought to the foreground to give the scene some nice depth.
• “Grateful for You” is stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Hello Honey Cardstock.  You’ll find this sentiment in another terrific Stampin’ Up! Fall stamp set called For All Things.  And you’ll find another card using different elements of the For All Things stamp set HERE.

For All Things

Fall card making and stamping has never been more fun than with the For All Things stamp set and coordinating Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!  These are “my colors” – Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow team up with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  And the designer paper is so versatile – nice prints to work with on one side and beautiful neutrals on the other.  Take a look at all of the prints:

• This card came about by wanting to show off this pretty paper, so I kept things simple.  I stamped the watercolor image on Very Vanilla Cardstock using a Sahara Sand stamp pad, then used Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Markers to color direct to the rubber stamp to create the sentiment.
• I punched the sentiment out using the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it to the front using Dimensionals.
• The fiber decoration to the left comes from several different Stampin’ Up! accessories.  First I cut the selvage of both sides of the 1-1/4″ Burlap Ribbon to make it narrower and also to let the edges fray naturally.  I used the new Stampin’ Up! adhesive Fast Fuse to adhere the burlap to the cardstock.  Think Sticky Strip only in a dispenser!  Next came the gorgeous Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon then some Venetian Crochet Trim.  Finally I unwound some of the Natural Old Olive Two-Tone Trim and used just some of the vanilla trim through the center of the Gold Basic Metal Button.  Button is attached to the card with Glue Dots.

Thankful Tablescape Cards

Have I got a treat for you today!  I am loving all of the new crafty kits in the Holiday Catalog.  One of my favorites is the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit – but not for the reason you might think!  I'm just not a person who decorates the table for the holidays – I'm lucky if the food gets on the table much less decorations!  But I loved so many of the components in this great set.  So I went to work on creating cards from all of the great parts and pieces.

Everything for this card is contained in the Thankful Tablescape kit, except for the sentiment, which is from Truly Grateful stamp set and the Basic Black card base. You'll receive all 3 designer papers, the leaves and the linen thread.

Again, everything for this card is contained in the Thankful Tablescape kit, except for the sentiment, which is from Truly Grateful stamp set and the Basic Black card base.  I love the chalkboard look you can get with the black pieces in the kit and stamping and sponging with White Craft Ink.

The Thankful Tablescape kit contains the great birch paper background, as well as the Tangerine Tango herringbone; image comes from Truly Grateful, and sentiment is from Sassy Salutations.

Everything but the Early Espresso button and stamped sentiment are contained in the Thankful Tablescape kit.  I stamped the greeting in Versamark Ink, poured on some Early Espresso Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
 

Can someone help me with where in the world I got the "you made my day" sentiment?  I've looked over my stamp shelf and the catalog and I can't remember which set it comes from!  Be the first to comment to this post and tell me which stamp set this came from, and I'll send you a little prize for helping me out!

Good Ole Lovely as a Tree

Here's a card that features the new and the old.  The new is our beautiful Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper, with a wonderful Fall palette of Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Soft Sky, and Tangerine Tango.  I added a sliver of Smoky Slate cardstock behind the tree image.  The old are two stamp sets that have been around a very long time – Lovely as a Tree and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  In fact, I think Lovely as a Tree is the oldest stamp set in our Annual Catalog!  Both sets have been updated to be available in clear mount if you choose.

• I love that I can use different coordinating sheets of designer paper all in one card, and Stampin' Up! has done the work of matching them up for me.
• Linen Thread is the perfect fiber for Fall.  And I've added a simple Tangerine Tango Candy Dot from the Brights Candy Dots along with a Candy Dot Brad Base.

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:
Item No. 128655 Lovely as a Tree wood $27.95 OR
