Give Thanks Pumpkin Wreath

 

Hi Friends!

I wanted to create another card for The Card Concept #210 Pumpkin Season Challenge and decided to pull out two older (but still current) stamp sets-Seasonal Wreaths-Fall/Winter Bundle along with the Welcome Fall stamp set, Carta Bella Welcome Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad, two 3D embossing folders, lace trim, and other supplies (all from Stamp Simply)!

I also enjoy playing along with other online challenges and incorporated the Freshly Made Sketches #657 Sketch for the layout and am also playing along with the Retro Rubber Challenge #241 Tic-Tac-Toe (far left down Die Cut-Tag-Pumpkin) and the Simon Says Monday “Use Patterned Paper”.

One of the requirements of the Retro Rubber Challenge is to use stamp sets that are at least a year old or older.  Both sets used in this card are several years old, but perfect for fall and Christmas cards!

If you have not had a chance to check out the rest of my Sister Design Team cards on the Stamp Simply blog, or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you take the time to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

Adhere a strip of the scalloped loop trim over the cut edge of the patterned paper.

Die cut the tag from a piece of white cardstock and emboss with the 3D Intertwine embossing folder.

Add the sage green twill ribbon with the baker’s twine bow at the top of the tag.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the wreath image with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the wreath with the coordinating die (I also layered the image onto another die cut from white cardstock to give it more stability).

Ink the pumpkin image from the Seasonal Wreaths- Fall/Winter with Versafine Black Onyx ink onto another piece of white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Watercolor the pumpkin image with distress inks and die cut with the coordinating die (I also layered this one onto another die cut from white cardstock).

In All Things

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another fun fall card designed with the new Boho Pumpkins Bundle along with the Welcome Fall stamp set as well as paper and other supplies- all from Stamp Simply!

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” white cardstock with the Lumber Sizzix 3D Texture Fades EmbossingFolder. Mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

I do not like to throw anything away, lol! So, I kept the little strips that I had to cut from the top of the Gather At Home 6x6 designer paper (the part that has the hanging hole included) and saved those in my stash.  I layered a few of these strips horizontally onto a piece of black cardstock and added that layer to the card front (FYI- I have been getting back into quilting lately, and this reminded me of a strip quilt design).

Trim a piece of the sage gingham patterned paper from the Carta Bella Gather At Home designer paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Cut on the diagonal and mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trimming close to the edge.

De-static a piece of white cardstock, ink the sentiment from Welcome Fall with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, add clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

De-static a piece of heavy duty white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the Boho Pumpkins image with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, add clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the pumpkins with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with the medium Fishtail Sentiments Banner die, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Add to the card front (using the die cut pumpkin from the step above to position on the card).

Adhere the pumpkin image with dimensional foam and finish off the card with a few black rhinestones.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and have a personal goal to create one card for each of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenges (now at over 1,000 sketches).  

I designed this card with the SC970 Sketch layout and will also be playing along with the Word Art Wednesday #663-#664 Anything Goes Challenge .
