Stampin' Up! Scenic Pumpkin Patch Thankful Card

Good Wednesday morning, peeps. Thanksgiving is soon approaching and I have a number of cards I need and want to create. Here's my first one...

My card base is Pumpkin Pie. I cut the frame with a die from Winterly Tree Tops. The DSP I used is a retired piece from All About Autumn.

Once I had that cut, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla about 1/16th of an inch smaller, stamped the ground, pumpkins and leaves using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set. Then I ran it through my embossing machine with the Painted Texture 3D EF. I adhered the frame to it with liquid glue and then adhered the piece to the card base.

For the inside...

I took another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and adhered a strip of the retired All About Autumn DSP. I stamped the sentiment in Pecan Pie  from the retired Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty for Amy's Inkin Krew Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Giving Thanks" and we can interpret that any way we want and use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it using the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set and the Courage & Faith Stamp Set. Take a look see...

I was inspired by Wendy Lee during the Stress Free Cardmaking weekend in September. I had a free ticket to watch each day and the videos would stay for a 24 hr. period each day. I could have purchased a ticket for the entire "Summit" but there were not enough presentations that were in my wheelhouse. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl...lol. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Let's see if I can explain how I did this because I don't know if Wendy has done a You Tube video for it. I tried to take a video when I started it so let's see how that goes here...I could make another card and show you in stages but it won't be today or any time soon...lol!

Clear as mud, right? Sorry about that. I can give you measurements, however! Card base is 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2". Mat is 3 3/4" x 5". Scored panel is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". You will need about 7 DSP squares 7/8". 

For the inside...

The product I used is in the chart below the hoppers' names.

Stampin' Up! SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!  If you love fun folds, you have come to the right place! The list of hoppers is at the end of my post and I do hope you'll hop along. I'm sure you'll be in for a real treat.

My fold today is one I have never done before. Since I am still dealing with the after effects of that bad boy Ian, I had to keep it simple! My prototype uses the Alphabest Stamp Set and Best Label Punch, along with retired Close to My Heart patterned paper and cardstock from Office Max when it existed. Take a look see.

For the second one I used no cardstock but only Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper, the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and Sunflowers Dies along with the sentiment from the Heron Habitat Stamp Set and punched it out with the Lovely Label Punch. I used Stampin' Blends to color the flower. Let me show you...

So, I wasn't happy with either of them and decided to experiment on another with different measurements and product. This is what I came up with...

I was happy with this one because it stands up and I wanted it for table favors.

Let me give you the measurements and product used:

• White cardstock: 4" x 8 3/4", scored at 1", 1 1/2", 5" and 5 1/2";  fold into matchbook
• Crushed Curry cardstock: 3 7/8" x 3 1/8" (mat for main body)
• Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper: 3 3/4" x 3" (main body); 4" x 1"  (mat for sentiment)
• White cardstock for sentiment: 3 3/4" x 3/4"
• Acorns - fussy cut from Rustic Harvest DSP - adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals
• Velcro for the closure
• Swedish Fish or any pack of candy that fits properly inside the matchbook
• Old Olive, Cajun Craze and So Saffron Stampin' Blends to color the leaf

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I used the Hello Harvest Stamp Set, Very Best Occasions Stamp Set and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to create my card for the hop today.

Welcome to the ...

Today we have a sketch challenge...

Do you think I accomplished the task? Good, me too! The sentiment from Hello Harvest is punched with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. The Open Leaf Trinkets give the monochromatic Rustic Harvest DSP a pop, don't you think?

I kept the inside simple with a strip of DSP and the sentiment from Very Best Occasions.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Harvest Thankful Card for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

 

Welcome to another Inkin’ Krew monthly blog hop! Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products. This month we are all creating projects with a “Giving Thanks" theme. I used the current Heron Habitat, Butterfly Brilliance and Brightest Beauty Stamp Sets along with Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.

My inspiration for this fold came from Alyson Mayo. She called it a "Triple Fold Over Card". I'm still not up to speed mentally or physically after Hurricane Ian to go into lengthy "how to" so here's the bare bones...

• Mossy Meadow card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 2 1/8 and 6 3/8, burnish and fold into center
• Rustic Harvest DSP 2 x 5 3/8 (2) for folded flaps
• Mossy Meadow Bannerized mats: 3 3/4 x 1 3/4 (3)
• Rustic Harvest DSP 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 (3)
• Two pumpkins fussy cut from the DSP
• Sentiment from Heron Habitat, punched with Double Oval
• Mat from DSP, punched with Double Oval
• 3 Brushed Brass Butterflies

• Cajun Craze Mat: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
• Basic White Inner Panel: 3 3/4 x 5; Butterfly Brilliance and Brightest Beauty stamps; sponged with Cajun Craze ink
• DSP for flaps 2 x 5 3/8

I'm entering my card in the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenge #122 and playing with all 3 Things, including Jan's Digi Blog Challenge ATG October 2022 .

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop. You're in for a treat if you have never visited before. It's a weekly challenge and this week we have a theme challenge. Links to the team hoppers are at the bottom of this post.

Here's our theme...

here is what I created for it...

I used the Gathered Wheat Stamp Set to stamp the image and sentiment. My card base is Basic White with a mat of Crushed Curry. I cut a frame of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies and the art panel is cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Dies.

I poked holes where the wheat was tied with a rope on the stamped image and ran my Linen Thread to create the tie for the shaft of wheat. Then I adhered the art panel to the card base. Lastly, I adhered five Champagne Basic Jewels for a little bling.

I'm entering my card in the Happy Little Stampers: HLS August Anything Goes Using Dies Challenge.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Goodness for Amy's Inkin' Krew Monthly Blog Hop

 

Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop! Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products. This month we are all creating projects with a “Thankful” theme and I’m featuring the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set for my project.

Here is what I created...

I made a Christmas card with this fold, which Beth McCullough taught me how to make. It's a little different in that the front flap fold has Designer Series Paper on it, rather than being embossed.

• My card base is Pumpkin Pie (4 1/4" x 8 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2" to form the fun fold)
• Adhere a piece of DSP (2 1/2" x 4") to the folded up flap (see third photo)
• Adhere a piece of DSP (4" x 5 1/4") to the top part
• Create another card (the Smoky Slate one) 3 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored and folded           at 4 1/4" and adhere it to the main base by centering it on the top part of the base
• Cut two pieces of Whisper White 3" x 4", one for on the front of the Smoky Slate card and one for on the inside of the Smoky Slate. Stamp these with image(s) and sentiment(s); then adhere them in their proper spots

Front Fold Flap

The leaf image is from the retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set and the two DSP's are from Halloween Night, which is also retired.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:

1. A Perfect Time to Craft October Challenge #10 
2. Artsystamper Digitals Challenge #25 "Harvest"
3. Craftyhazelnut's October 2020 Patterned Paper
4. Pammie's Inky Pinkies ATG 2041
