Fall, my favorite time of year! How about you? Are you happy it’s finally getting cooler? We are lovin’ it here in Georgia!
Hoping it won’t be too long before we can take a ride a bit further north to see some beautiful fall colors.
That being said, what do you notice first about my card today? How about the colors? Yep, I’m loving the Pretty Peacock as a non traditional fall color. So when you look at the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper you are going to think fall with a twist.
BUNDLE AND SAVE 10%
Bundle and Save! When you purchase the Gather Together Stamp Set with the coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies you save 10%. Take notice that the leaves in this die set both cut and emboss giving the veins a great 3D look.
Would You Like to Make This Card?
- Start with a Pretty Peacock card base 5-1/2” x 8-1/2 “ folded in half.
- Adhere a 5-1/2” x 1-1/2” piece of Come To Gather Designer Series Paper to the bottom half of the card front.
- Cut the largest Stitched Nested Labels Die with your die cutting machine and then stamp the leaves with Pretty Peacock ink (stamped off). That means to ink it and stamp on scrap paper and then stamp on your project without re-inking so you have a lighter version of the color.
- Cut leaves in Cajun Craze and Soft Suede cardstock using your die cutting machine and adhere those to the from of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment on Pumpkin Pie and punch with the Apple Builder Punch. Stamp the stem with Early Espresso and punch. Glue the stem to the pumpkin and make sure you get it right side up for a pumpkin. I realized after the fact that mine was upside down. Things happen!!
- Add the pumpkin to the card with dimensionals and then add a Linen Thread bow with a glue dot.

Oct 8, 2019 | Cased Cards, Holidays |
Hey Everyone!
Today’s card is a Halloween card I ‘cased’ featuring the spooky Monster Bash Designer Series Paper and our Wicked Dies from the 2019 Holiday catalog. I love how I could just cut one of the framed pictures in the Monster Bash paper and use it as my focal point.
These are the cards I ‘cased’ (copy and share everything). Every quarter as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I receive a fun and inspiring magazine that has a page dedicated to casing and these were the projects in the last one. If you are a ‘newbie’ to card making casing cards is a great way to learn and get your feet wet.
These cards use a simple card base with a large banner, focal square for your stamping and a sentiment. So easy, yet so cute! And you can use a paper trimmer and stamps you already own to make cards for all occasions.
If you love creating for Halloween make sure you check out all the products in the Monster Bash Suite. They’re “Spooktacular”!
I used the Wicked Dies for the fun cute spider and my sentiment. Beware though…If you cut too many spiders, the way I did, they make you jump when you come across them unexpectedly!

Hey Everyone!
Life gets crazy and when it does you often have to put something on the back burner and for me lately that has been my blog. But, I would really like to get back to it. So what better way then to start with a post that was just sitting there waiting for me to finish it.
The Perfectly Plaid Suite is one of my favorite new suites in the Holiday Catalog. It’s the first one I had to get my hands on for several reasons. First, I love punches! Yes, I couldn’t exist without my dies and die cutting machine but punches just make your crafting life easy! And when you purchase the stamp set and punch as a bundle you save 10%.
Second, I love pretty plaid paper! Great Christmas colors and the gold metallic lines that run through it make it extra special. You definitely need to get yourself some Perfectly Plaid Designer Series Paper if you are a plaid lover like me.
And thirdly, look at the awesome embellishments. The Shaded Spruce and gold metallic ribbon is yummy and there are jingle bells in 3 colors! If you haven’t already purchased this suite you need to take another look.
