Hey Pumpkin!

 

Welcome! Here today with a fun Stamp Simply card using their Boho Pumpkin stamp and die sets. I always love to paper piece images, and this one was done so using three different prints of retired decorator paper. 

Simply stamp the main image onto a piece of creamy cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (similar) for the base; color the leaves and stems that are not going to be paper pieced with Copic Sketch markers. Go ahead and die cut the image at the point.  

Stamp the image onto three different pieces of decorator paper, then fussy cut the different pumpkins out. Glue them into place on the base image.

A Flat Oval Stitched die adds interest in the background that is layered with another piece of the retired designer paper.

The sentiment is made up of words from the Boho Pumpkins set, stamped then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die. A corduroy button with piece of May Art's Burlap String adds the final touch.

A fun card and simple to make!

Autumn

Happy Friday! Loving the changing of the leaves and cooler temperatures...Autumn is HERE!

My card today features stamps, dies, and products from Stamp Simply. The leafy oak leaf image is from their Give Thanks stamp and die sets, along with the "Autumn" die from the Boho Pumpkins die set.

I began by stenciling a background panel on rusty cardstock. I used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil in Tiles, stenciling it it Versamark Watermark ink. A chocolate brown panel and touches of cream make up the remainder of the background panel.

The oak leaf from the Give Thanks stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (similar), then colored with Copic Sketch markers. It was then die cut with the Give Thanks die.

The "Autumn" sentiment die is from the Boho Leaves die set, cut with the chocolate cardstock in three layers and glued together for added dimension.

I hope that you have a wonderful Fall weekend and have a chance to be outdoors. Thanks for stopping by!

Layered Sunflower

 

Here's a clean and simple Autumn card for you featuring Stamp Simply's Sunflower Season stamp and die sets along with their Typewritten Year Round Sentiments! The sunflower and bud are popped up with an additional layer, so there is tons of lovely dimension.

I began by stamping the sunflower image twice with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (similar...but Espresso Truffle brownish black). I colored the first image with Copic Sketch markers, then die cut it with the Sunflower Season die. I colored just the sunflower head and bud with the markers, then fussy cut them out. When I was fussy cutting the sunflower head I only cut the center and center petals out, leaving the outer petals behind. After cutting I popped the head and bud up onto the first die cut image with pop dots. I LOVE the dimension that this gives!

The sunflower is layered over a simple background of rustic cream cardstock with the panel embossed with a Darice Wire Fence embossing folder. A frame made up of the same cardstock; die cut four times from an Oval Stitched Flat die...four times then glued together to make a more hefty frame for MORE dimension!

The final touch is a sentiment from Stamp Simply's Typewritten Year Round  Sentiment set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink and die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

Very clean and simple! All linked products are from Stamp Simply.

Thankful for You

I have a very simple card for you today with minimal stamping, plus it is easy to mail being quite flat.

It features Stamp Simply's Autumn Silhouettes, a lovely stamp set with two different silhouettes--wheat or grass/cattails-- and lovely sentiments.

The weather has been very cool here in our part of Michigan...it really puts me into the mood for Autumn stamping!

I began by stamping the wheat/grass silhouette onto creamy cardstock. I first stamped the golden portion with Ranger Wild Honey Oxide ink, then stamped the stems with Versafine Clair Acorn ink. I added a bit more of the Acorn ink to the edges of the golden portion for added interest. I used a stamp platform which makes for easy stamping and restamping. I then die cut the image with a Spellbinder Rectangle Deckled die; then die cut it once again from kraft cardstock to layer beneath the image panel as a frame. The entire image panel was then layered over a background of decorator paper.

The sentiment from the Autumn Silhouettes stamp set was stamped with the Versafine Claire Acorn ink, then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

I hope that your Labor Day weekend is filled with blessings and thankfulness! Thanks for stopping by!

Black Eyed Susan Sending Cheer

Hello! Here today with a fall inspired card featuring Stamp Simply's Daisy Pitcher stamp and die sets. Going for some Black Eyed Susan flowers for an Autumn feel!

I began by stamping the blooms with Memento Rich Cocoa ink (similar) onto creamy cardstock, then colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I also stamped the pitcher with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Craft Consortium Metal Textures decorator paper. I then die cut both out with the Daisy Pitcher die, and paper pieced the metal textured pitcher onto the colored daisy image.

The background panel is the same Metal Textured paper; the arch is made using Stampin' Up's Arches die cut from the creamy cardstock with a backdrop of Craft Consortium's Wood Textures decorator paper.

 

The "sending you cheer" sentiment is from the Daisy Pitcher stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink, die cut with a Spellbinder oval die.

Daisy Pitcher stamp and die set can be purchased as a bundle or individually.

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
