CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Pumpkin Spice Season

By | Leave a Comment

This week’s CCM Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Pumpkin Spice Season”.  Fall always comes around with the launch of hundreds of Pumpkin Spice flavored products!  Yummy!  What will our Design Team choose to use?

HELLO HARVEST

I downloaded a coffee cup template and created my Pumpkin Spice Season coffee card!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of yellow grid Celebrate Everything Designer Paper was added on top.
  • Cut a 1 x 4 piece of Early Espresso cardstock and adhere towards bottom.
  • Using the coffee cup template, trace around the bottom onto 3 x 5 Crushed Curry cardstock and the lid onto 1-1/4 x 3-1/2 Basic White cardstock.  Hand-cut out.  (Or print directly onto the cardstock.)
  • Stamp cup bottom randomly with fleur image from Hello Harvest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, add to front of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Add lid on top.
  • Stamp 1-1/4 x 3-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock with Hello greeting in Early Espresso Ink, trim to fit cup and adhere.
  • Stamp Hello Harvest pumpkin on Pumpkin Pie cardstock with Early Espresso Ink.  Shade pumpkin with Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.  Color stem with SU200 Blends.  Cut with Rustic Pumpkin Dies and added to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp two leaves with Old Olive Ink on Basic White, cut with Dies, add to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Cut vine from Old Olive cardstock with Dies, adhere to pumpkin.
  • Add two Rustic Metallic Dots to background.

 

SOOO happy with how this turned out.  Pumpkin Spice coffee is one of my favorites this time of year!  OK, 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 Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

CCMC725 – Hello Harvest

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  This month our challenges will be to “case the catalog”.  Each week we have a new card design to inspire us taken right from the catalog…we could use the colors, the layout, or the stamp set and dies.  This week I’m using one of the new July-Dec stamp sets, Rustic Pumpkin for my card, using the layout as inspiration!

HELLO HARVEST

I love that this set has a very realistic pumpkin in it and that it can be colored!  I paired it with the new July-Dec Host Only Celebrate Everything Designer Paper…it really does have a little bit of all celebrations!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 1 x 4-1/2 piece of the Celebrate Everything DSP was added towards the left side at an angle.
  • A second 2-1/4 x 5 piece of leaf print Celebrate Everything DSP was added on top.
  • An 8″ piece of Silver Threaded Twine was folded in half and tied towards the top with some Linen Thread.  It was added to the front at an angle with Mini Glue Dots.
  • The pumpkin from Hello Harvest stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Dark Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Combo Blends.  The stem with SU 200 Blends.  It was cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies and added over the Twine with doubled Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it extra height.
  • The vine was cut from Garden Green cardstock with the Dies and added to the pumpkin.
  • The greeting from Hello Harvest was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 3/4 x 2-1/2 piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, the end cut at an angel and adhered under the pumpkin edge.

SO fun!!!  I love the bright colors in this DSP!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
