Stampin' Up! Wood Textures, Painted Autumn, Merry Cafe, Pick a Pumpkin, Patterned Pumpkins, Seasonal Layers

Just a gorgeous day outside today.  The sun in full on and we are to expect a high of 77.  Can't get any better than this for Fall weather in Michigan!  The colors of the leaves on the trees have come on strong now and so gorgeous!!!

My share for today is a Fall Card that I designed using Stampin' Up products from the Holiday Catalog.  I've made a card similar to this years ago; but, never showed it on my blog.  That was before Stampin' Up came out with their new Jute Twine and I used the actual twine from bales of hay or straw.

Let's take a look at my card:

My Card Base is Kraft Cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored and folded at 5-1/2".

My Card Front Panel is the White Barn Wood Pattern from SU's Wood Textures Designers Series Paper Stack cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" and adhered to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I fussy cut out 3 of the Sunflowers from the Sunflower Pattern from SU's Painted Autumn DSP.

Using SU's Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies, I die cut out 3 of the Small Leaves from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and 2 of the Small Leaves from Peekaboo Peach Cardstock.

Using SU's Pick a Pumpkin Stamp Set, I stamped 3 of the Berry Stems onto Old Olive Cardstock with Old Olive Ink.

Using SU's Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies, I die cut out the Berry Stems.

Using SU's Jute Twine, I wrapped it around 3 times and adhered it to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered the Sunflowers with double Stampin' Dimensionals as shown in the picture above.

I adhered all the Leaves and Berry Stems with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I applied SU's Fine Tip Glue adhesive to the centers of each Sunflower and let that dry overnight.

I trimmed out a Banner from Kraft Cardstock to measure 3/4" x 2-1/2", embossed it with Early Espresso Embossing Powder and adhered it in my wreath with Mono Multi Purpose Glue on the left and a Mini Stampin' Dimensional on the right.

I adhered SU's Gold Enamel Circles to the ends of my 3 Berry Stems.

Using SU's Metallic Sequin Assortment, I adhered 3 Gold and 2 Black Sequins randomly to my Card.

I have lots of Stampin' Up Promotions to share with you today too!

The Paper Pumpkin team is always tracking products that make you, our customers, happy and (no surprise!) holiday kits are a huge favorite. Knowing this, they decided to create a simple and fun holiday crafting experience that we, as Demonstrators, can share with, you, our customers as the perfect way to streamline Christmas preparation. Welcome to a Season of Style!

To give you more of what you love, during October and November Stampin'' Up! is offering Paper Pumpkin for two straight months of perfectly coordinated Christmas card making and gifting projects. For us demonstrators, two matching kits means two months of being able to offer the perfect solution to you for your holiday crafting needs. 

For you, two coordinating kits means that 1) you will have everything you need to complete unique holiday cards and gifts, 2) you will have more creative options, and 3) you can get that handmade holiday touch without the fuss.

• The October and November kits coordinate but they also stand alone. You DO NOT need both kits to create a complete project.
• To receive October’s kit, you must subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by 11:50 PM (MT) on October 10.
• To receive November’s kit, you must subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by 11:50 PM (MT) on November 10.

PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!


I recently discovered that people are using my cards and/or projects, duplicating them and entering them into challenges, using them for their own card classes and (using them on their blogs as their own creations) - Please give credit where credit is due.  My cards and projects are my own creations and are not to be used in challenges, blog hops, card classes or sold at craft shows; etc., for profit.  I don't mind if you duplicate my creativity to pass on to family members or friends as gifts or Occasions cards; but,  PLEASE be considerate of others creativity!  Thank you!
