Splendid Autumn

CSF Saturday Blog Hop – Thanksgiving

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week is all about Thanksgiving!  Here in the United States, it is celebrated on November 28th this year!  Tis the season to be grateful for all our blessings!

AUTUMN LEAVES

The “with a Grateful Heart” is one of my favorite sayings.  You can find it in the Autumn Leaves stamp set!  This card focuses on that greeting and the gorgeous Splendid Autumn Designer Paper!  I admit that I’ve been hoarding this floral print…but I finally broke down and used it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Copper Clay cardstock was embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 3 x 5-1/4 piece of the Splendid Autumn floral Designer Paper was added to the right side.
  • Two leaves from the Autumn Leaves Dies were cut from Daffodil Delight cardstock and blended with Copper Clay Ink using a Blending Brush.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Autumn Leaves was stamped with Copper Clay Ink on Basic Beige cardstock and cut with the label from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  It was added over the stems of the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Linen Thread was doubled and then tied in a bow and added to the stems of the leaves.

Love that the Designer Paper did all the work!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  We have a new theme for October…Happy Harvest!  Just in time for fall and upcoming Thanksgiving ideas!

AUTUMN LEAVES

The Autumn Leaves Bundle came out last year but is a carryover…the selection of leaves is wonderful!  I kept this really simple and let the new Splendid Autumn DSP do most of the work!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Mossy Meadow cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige cardstock was added on front.
  • 1-1/2 x 5 and 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 strips of Splendid Autumn 6×6 Designer Paper were added side by side towards the left side.
  • The Autumn Leaves greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and cut with the Greetings of the Season Dies oval.
  • The Gold Metallic Paper was cut with the small maple leaf from the Autumn Leaves Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The oval greeting was added over it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Linen Thread was placed through the hole and tied in a bow.
  • Two green Faux Glass Dots were added to the label.

 

SUPER simple, but the DSP really kicks it up a notch!  Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

CS156 – Textured Floral

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  Our August theme is “Scenic”.

TEXTURED FLORAL

I really let the Splendid Autumn DSP do all the work on this card!  I love this floral scene on one of the sheets but decided to jazz it up a little by cutting it into a small mosaic!  I thought this greeting worked great!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Mossy Meadow cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The front was embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder.
  • The Splendid Autumn DSP was cut to 3 x 4 and then cut in half at 1-1/2 and those cut to 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 to equal four pieces.
  • The DSP was added to a 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The foliage was cut from Cajun Craze cardstock with the Textured Floral Die.
  • The greeting from Textured Floral was stamped with Cajun Craze on Basic White cardstock and punched with the Labeled with Love Punch.  The foliage was added behind the label and then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Two gold Faux Glass Dots were added next to the greeting.

SUPER simple and easy to make a mass quantity if you needed!  I recently have been put in touch with a local Senior Citizens Center to donate birthday cards, so I plan on using up my older packages of scenic DSP with this template!  Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
