Saturday Blog Hop – Thinking of Fall

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! This week our CCM Design Team is “Thinking of Fall” for our Saturday Blog Hop!  It is hard to believe that it will soon to September!  We’ve had a nice HOT summer this year…I love it!  But soon in Ohio, we’ll be seeing the colorful leaves dress up the trees!  It is so pretty to see red, yellow, orange and green out my back door!  I used a new bundle, Autumn Goodness, for my fall card today!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 7, scored at 3-1/2 and folded to form a SHORT card.
  • The Gilded Autumn Designer Paper is cut 3-1/4 x 5-1/4.
  • Two 6″ lengths of Embroidered Ribbon and Copper Metallic Ribbon were layered on top of each other, wrapped around the DSP and adhered in back, then the DSP added to the front of the base card.
  • The largest Scallop Layering Circle was cut from Early Espresso, and the large Layering Circle that fits inside was cut from Whisper White cardstock.  A little Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends was colored along the bottom of the circle for the “shadow”.
  • The haystack and pumpkin patch were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Mango Melody Combo, Pumpkin Pie Combo, Real Red Combo, and Granny Apple Green Combo Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The circle was placed hanging off the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  (TIP:  make sure that is doesn’t go over 4-1/4″ so that it still fits in your envelope).
  • The greeting was stamped on a 1/2 x 2-1/2 piece of Whisper White with Memento Black Ink, cut the flag end, and tucked under the pumpkins.
  • A trio of gold Holiday Rhinestones were added in the background.

Sometimes, I just love spending a little more time and doing some coloring.  This is a perfect set for coloring!  Next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Brenda’s fabulous card and see what everyone did with this challenge!

CCMC624 – Autumn Goodness

By | 1 Comment

Hello everyone!  Happy Thursday…does the time seem to be flying by for anyone else?  I’m amazed at how quickly the days are going for me!  This week we have a fun color challenge for you to try!

I love these new In Colors and they look great combined!  I pulled out the new Autumn Goodness set (from the Aug-Dec catalog) for today’s card.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Plaid Tidings DSP was wrapped with Cinnamon Cider Ribbon and tied in a knot, then the piece added to the left side of the base card.
  • The 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White was cut to a point and the Just Jade “ground” was colored.  The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper corner, then it was added to the front.
  • The wheelbarrow from Autumn Goodness was stamped with Early Espresso Ink and colored with Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends, with a little Bronze for shadows.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The wheel was cut from Early Espresso cardstock with the Autumn Wheelbarrow Die.  It was added with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • The flowers were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Bumblebee, Just Jade and Cinnamon Cider Blends.  It was added to the wheelbarrow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I’m really happy with how this turned out!  I’m glad I went ahead and got this set…so detailed and pretty!  Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did over on Create with Connie and Mary this week!
