FOR ALL THINGS

You may have realized by now that For All Things, Stamp Set is one of my favorites this year for Fall.  I have used it quite often.  Isn't it wonderful when you purchase a stamp set and can use it often.  Sometimes I feel I don't use my sets enough but not in the case of this one.  Card stock includes Mossy Meadow a 2014- 2015 In Color and Cajun Craze plus Very Vanilla.  Inks include, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and markers of Early Expresso and Sahara Sand.  Some of our new Fall Washi Tape was used too.

GRATEFUL for YOU

This is a card I made for my Hostess Club members and as a swap with fellow demos.  I just love the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set.  You can use this set all year round.  I decided to make a fall card with it and of course I wanted to use Blackberry Bliss.  If you have followed my blog you know I love this deep rich color which is part of the 2014-2015 In Colors Stampin' Up! has out right now.   The Designer Series Paper I used is actually the Halloween paper.  Because there are two sides to all our designer series paper it gives us so many extra options.  This wood look doesn't have a thing to do with Halloween but could if you so desired to use it that way.  I used a little of our Washi Tape to hold my wreath up over my wood.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set, For All Things.  The ribbon is Blackberry Bliss.  Blow is the inside of my card.  Again I used our DSP.

Pumpkins Everywhere

Hi Stampers,
The above card is done by Sue Lepako, a fellow demo who lives close to me in Pennsylvania.  Sue used the Scattered Seasonal Saying as a background for her pumpkins.  BTW, pumpkins are on every home porch or steps here in Pennsylvania right now.  Sue used daubers to ink her pumpkins and give them that home grown look.  The Stamp Set is the cute one, Fall Fest.  It is full of ghosts, leaves and faces for the pumpkins if you so desire.  This card was done for a Club Sue had and also for the swap we do as demos each month.

I like the way Sue added just one more pumpkin on the inside.  Hope it gives you an idea for a card too.  Remember CASE means copy and share everything.  Take care.

Four Feathers because Three

My card today is using the Stamp Set, Four Feathers.  For this card, I actually only used three feathers.  (smiling)  Who would have ever thought feathers would become so popular.  My colors for this card are Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla.  Seems I have been using these colors allot this fall.  Some of that may have to do with Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, Color Me Autumn, because they include all those shades.  I think this piece of Designer Series Paper looks like Indian Corn.  My Uncle Jake always gave me Indian Corn from his garden in the Fall.  

This is the inside of my card where I simply stamped a branch from the Stamp Set For All Things in Cajun Craze.  I hope you like this card.

Flower Patch and Masking Technique

During my Club in September we worked on the technique of Masking.  I choose the Set Flower Patch to make the card.  The inks used were all Fall colors, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and lastly Blackberry Bliss (which I love).  The Crushed Curry flower and the Blackberry Bliss one are both showing as if they are half hiding behind the large Pumpkin Pie flower.

My Card Stock is Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie and of course Whisper White.  The ribbon is retired.  We punched out a butterfly from the fall designer series paper, Color Me Autumn. Finally, we had to add just a touch of bling.  A couple rhinestones on two flowers and the butterfly.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  An appropriate day to use Day of Gratitude.

Embossed Hello Doily











Concord Crush really makes this white embossed Hello Doily pop.  I must admit that embossing is not my favorite thing to do because I am simply not good at it.  I would like to be good at it because it is a beautiful look.  Speaking of look, don't look to close at this picture cause I really am not good at this.  :-)

Emboss Resist Day of Gratitude

The Stitched-Poly Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz is used to highlight this card I made using the Emboss Resist technique.  Day of Gratitude provides the leaves for this card of thanks.

Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

Gently Falling is a two stamp stamping set and very popular this year.  The bottom of the card is textured with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Punches include the Oval, Scalloped Oval and the Scallop Trim Border .  Arleen Graham is the creator of this card.

A Day of Gratitude II

A second card using this nice Stamp Set, Day of Gratitude.  This one is by Andi Potler.  Cardstock inlcudes Very Vanilla, Concord Crush, More Mustard, Old Olive and Really Rust.  Beautiful Fall colors.

Day of Gratitude

So many different tools are used to make this card really pop for Fall.  The stamp set, Day of Gratitude on page 28 of the IBC, the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Perfect Polka Dots and the Bigz Dies, Top Note coupled with Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip Card Stock.  The Scallop Trim Border Punch,  ribbon and a pearl makes the card perfect.  Received in a swap.

Embpss Resist

We used Hello Doily stamp set when doing the Emboss Resist Technique on this card.  I don't do a really great job when I try and put the ribbon on the card.  I may have to redo this one.  :-)

Paisley Print DSP II

Another card I made using Paisley Prints DSP and the Kiss Technique.  More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler are the inks ued in this card.

Paisley Petals DSP

My upline Denise Kay Foor provided the Kissing technique during our stamp club this month.  I made this card using Gently Falling and the Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  Also used is the Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the Holiday Mini page 33. 

Hello Dolly, I Mean Doily

A Fall "Hand-Penned Holiday" Thank You card by another member of our team, Sue Lepako.  Cardstock More Mustard and Concord Crush.  The white embossed Hello Doily really stands out.

Sunflower Power

One nice way to use a background stamps is to bring it up front.  Rosemary Morgan did that in this friendship card.  Soft Suede ink is used to give a soft look to this large flower.

GENTLY FALLING

I made this card using the Gently Falling Stamp Set and the Spiced Cake DSP at Janet Wakeland's last month.  Not a real complicated card but a pretty statement of Fall.  The Gently Falling Stamp Set is featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 16 and 17.
