Creative Creases Challenge Guest Designer 27 Sep 24

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Friday!  I've had the pleasure of Guest Designing with the Creative Creases Challenge Team today and I would like to share my card with you.

Using the new Stampin' Up Autumn Expressions Stamp and Die Bundle, along with the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper, I've created this easy fancy fold card inspired by Jackie Bolhuis of Klompen Stampers, you can find her Tutorial HERE. 


Both the Stamp Bundle and Designer Series Papers are stunning and perfect for the Autumn Season; the colors are so rich and warm.  For the card base, I've used Blackberry Bliss, and die cut a leaf from the same and one from the Mossy Meadow cardstock.


More leaves were stamped and die cut using Cajun Craze ink and cardstock, and Mossy Meadow cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink, and some wheat stalks stamped using Mossy Meadow ink.

Please stop by the Creative Creases Card Challenge and join the fun.  There is loads of inspiration for fancy fold cards, and you'll be impressed with the talented team!  I'm sending a huge thanks to Debbie Mageed for having me, it was a pleasure.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Splendid Autumn

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!  I hope your day is terrific and you're finding some time for yourself.  I have a quick share today featuring the new Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up.  Golly, this paper is gorgeous!

I've created a fun fold card style, with a a card base, and a smaller card base op top, all decorated with lovely Autumn colors.


The card base was created using Mossy Meadow cardstock, and I've embossed a panel of Blackberry Bliss card.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up set - Climbing Roses.





I've added Linen Thread and a Bow for a bit of an earthy accent, along with clear faux gems.  There is plenty of room inside to write a personal message.  

That's all I have for today, I wish you a great rest of the week and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #65

Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day to all of my friends here in the States.  Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge.  The Autumn season will soon be upon us and the inspiration photo this month is a gorgeous, autumn countryside scene:


For my project, I've used the new Stampin' Up Autumn Expressions Stamp and Die Bundle along with the Splendid Autumn 6x6 paper pack.  The designer series papers in this pack are beyond beautiful and I let the paper do most of the work on this card.


I was directly inspired by the autumn colors and trees in the scene. I love visiting areas in parts of the United States where the leaves change colors in the Fall, our Florida Palm trees stay green year round!

For my card base, I've used SU Wild Wheat cardstock, the mat behind the designer series paper strips and sentiment is Blackberry Bliss and the die cut frame and chain are cut from Cajun Craze card stock. 


For added interest, I've die cut leaves from SU Mossy Meadow cardstock and added some twine strips behind the sentiment, which has been popped on dimensionals.  Lastly, I've added amber gems for a bit of shine.  I've also decorated the envelope flap using Cajun Craze ink and pretty wheat stalks from the stamp set.

We certainly hope you'll join us this month at The Inspiration Station Challenge and share your inspired projects.  We would love to see what you create.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
