Paper Pumpkin Sweeter With You

 

I did some alternates with the July 2025 Sweeter With You paper Pumpkin kit last week. 

I mostly used the elements in the kit but added a few dies and embellishments not found there. 

1st card- I used the add on dies with the hello die in Fresh Freesia card stock.

2nd card- I used the strawberry card base cut to make the background and added on the green base. I used Poppy Parade ink and Garden Green dots,

3rd card- I used a white an Everyday Arches die, Strawberry Slush ink and dots.

4th card- I used the other piece of the strawberry base cut and added to the green base. I layered a piece of the vellum in kit over. I cut a white circle with the add on dies and popped the images on plus added some Garden green dots. I also used Poppy Parade ink for the sentiment.  

Hope you can do some stamping this long weekend!

Have a beautiful and safe Labor Day weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP752 Charming Day With Thoughtful Journey

 

I am playing along with Jaydee's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week with a gate fold card. I did place the label die a little lower than the sketch shows so I did not cover up those gorgeous flowers in the Thoughtful Journey DSP panels on the front. I have a gatefold card using the Petunia Pop card stock cut at 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2 1/8" on both sides. 

Inside, I added the DSP from the opposite side of the DSP and another white label cut from the Label Me Grateful dies. 

On the Front, I have added the two panels of DSP cut at 2" by 5 3/8" and added the white label cut again from the Label Me Grateful dies and then I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink after I blended some Wild Wheat ink with my blending brush.  I stamped the flowers twice from the Charming Day set in black ink and colored with my Stampin Blends markers in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Petunia Pop, and Wild Wheat. I cut them with matching dies and added some bling with the Petunia Pop pearls.

Hope you can play along today and thanks for stopping by!

Thinking Of You

 

Using the Splendid Autumn DSP again today because it is gorgeous! I have a Blackberry Bliss base and added the Mossy Meadow card stock and DSP are cut with the Branching Out dies. I then ran dark green thread around with a double bow. (I thought it was Mossy Meadow but looks darker)  I cut the Basic Beige circle with the Spotlight On Nature dies and stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Coffee With Friends stamp set. I added the Blackberry Bliss circle behind cut from the Stylish shaped dies behind and finished with some holographic dots.   

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

A Little Kindness

 

Love how this card turned out and I have to say Secret Sea is the answer to all. I could not find a color I want to add in the strip and bow that looked right until I tried Secret Sea! I have a white base covered with two print of the Splendid Autumn DSP.I added the strip of Secret Sea card stock between. I then cut a Basic Beige die with the Label Me Grateful dies plus I cut leaves in Garden Green and a flower in Fresh Freesia card stocks. I added several Fresh freesia gems to the center of the flower. I stamped the sentiment from the Label Me Grateful set in Secret Sea ink. I finished with a Secret Sea bow.

Blessings With Painterly Pears

 

I am having fun with the Painterly Pears suite but I almost did not get it. I really liked the DSP and you can cut from the prints with the dies to get these great pears, stems and flowers. I have a white base and another piece of white layered on top. I added several strips of the designer paper called Painterly Pears cut 1" by 5" across the front. I then added a Secret Sea strip of card stock across the middle. I then cut a white Stylish Shapes circle to add the pear, stem and flowers I cut from the DSP. I then added the sentiment stamped in Secret Sea ink from the retired Pick of the Patch set on a white banner cut from the Perfectly Pear dies. I finished with some Petal Pink dots and the Mossy Meadow and gold 1/4" ribbon I cut and double bowed! 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

More playing with the Painterly Pears suite!  Here I am using a new embossing folder that will be available in September called Gathering Leaves. I have ran it through a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and layer on the same color base. I then cut a Branching Out label die in white to pop my pear I cut out from the Painterly Pears DSP using the Perfectly Pears dies. I added a gold thread bow. I did use my blending brush to add some Darling Duckling ink to the white label first. I also cut some Granny Apple Green flowers to add to the corners with the same Perfectly Pears dies. I use the gold dots for more bling. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set using VersaMark ink and white embossing powder with my heat tool on a Mossy meadow die cut from the Nested Essentials dies.

This is my first play with the Painterly Pears suite! I had to go purple for my first card and a color challenge this month with my stamping group. I have a one layer base of Fresh Freesia and a layer of the white card stock ran through with the Glass mini embossing folder. I then used my blending brush to add some Fresh Freesia ink over it.

I added to the outside some stamping with the Elements of text stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut a Fresh Freesia net like die from the Perfectly Pears dies. I then stamped the pears on white card stock in Darling Duckling ink plus sponging of Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green inks. I cut those out with the matching dies.

PP750 You Are Amazing

 

I am on the fall cards soon but today I had to pull out the Changing Leaves and Autumn Leaves bundles to make this great color combo challenge card from Claire over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com I have a new set of dies to show off from the fall/holiday mini catty dropping in September. New dies are called Branching Out and I had to have them for the 6 label dies like I cut here in Blackberry Bliss card stock for the background. I added it to the plaid from the retired To Market DSP which is layered on the Blackberry Bliss base. I then cut the white large leaf from the Changing Leaves dies and then embossed it with the matching embossing folder. I then blended some Blackberry Bliss ink on with my blending brush. I stamped the leaves from the same set in Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks. I cut those with matching dies but took my small leaf and blended some Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink. I also cut out a leaf in Cherry Cobbler card stock and three fillers in Old Olive card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink and cut out with the Autumn Leaves die and then the Pumpkin Pie label behind with the Countryside Corners dies. I finished off with the Old Olive twine in a double bow and the Old Olive low profile sparkle dots.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is Animal House—and the Pals are here to inspire you with a parade of paw-some card ideas and paper craft creations, all featuring Stampin’ Up! products. At the end of each post, you’ll find links to all the participant blogs so you can “hop” along and gather ideas to make your own projects roar with personality. 🐾

I love butterflies and I love purple so today's card was a simple combo using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. I wanted to use a current set and this was the only one I had for an animal challenge today. I have a Gorgeous Grape base and a layer of white card stock then a layer of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP in Fresh Freesia. I cut a white Everyday Arches die and stamped some background splatter on with Fresh Freesia ink. I then stamped the large butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and cut it out by hand. I then used my blending brushes to add Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia inks to it. I stamped the smaller butterfly on a piece of the Bokeh DSP in the same black ink and hand snipped it out. I popped both on my die then hand snipped out the sentiment stamped on white card stock in Gorgeous Grape ink. I finished with some Grape dots.   

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Pals. Next month we will create beautiful inspiration for a “Ready for Fall” theme and hope you will join us.
