PP803 Simply Thinking Of You

 



For LeAnne;s color challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week I went clean and simple with the Simply Leaves bundle. More white makes these three colors not so dark and heavy! I have a white base and a piece of white ran through the Falling Leaves embossing folder and cut with the Textured Notes die. I stamped the leaves in Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Real Red inks on white card stock then punched with the matching punch. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on a white strip and finished off with some gold dots.  
Hope you have a lovely last week before fall!

Hello Gourd-geous For The Pals Blog Hop

 



Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we’re celebrating all the beauty of Autumn/Fall! From rich seasonal colors and beautiful leaves to pumpkins and everything cozy, this is such a wonderful time of year to get creative. The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. So, grab your favorite fall supplies and enjoy the inspiration!





I love pumpkins....to collect and to make cards! I am not a pumpkin flavor person. I made my daughter a cool card using the Painted Patch suite and her favorite pastel like colors-Pool Party, Petal Pink and Calypso Coral. I have a Pool Party base and then a layer of the Painted Patch DSP in a great check pattern. I then cut a piece of Pool Party card stock and ran though the Rustic Check embossing folder. I then cut a white gate, gold foil handle, Calypso Coral leaves/sprigs with the Painted Pumpkins dies.m I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder plus my heat tool. I hand snipped it out to pop on my gate. 
For the pumpkins, I used the Painted Pumpkins Decorative Masks #2 and #4. I added both Petal Pink and Calypso Coral ink over with mask #2 on white card stock and my blending brush. I used Calypso Coral for the stems with mask #4. I cut them with the matching dies. I finished with some Painted Patch dots in Calypso Coral. 
For inside, I just added the white panel and a Pool Party pumpkin die cut plus I cut a white stem and added a little Petal Pink ink with the blending brush to it. 


Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and see how the Pals are celebrating the beauty of the season. We hope you’ll find plenty of ideas to inspire your own fall crafting!

And be sure to join us again next month for another round of creative inspiration and a big announcement! You won’t want to miss it!

Hey Pumpkins!

 


I made this pumpkin card for my son using the Painted Patch suite and the Painted Pumpkins Decotaive Masks and my blending brush for the pumpkins. I have used Pool Party, Secret Sea, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Golden Glow inks. I cut them withn the matching Painted Pumpkins dies. I added them to a Branching Out white label die that I stamped the sentiment on in Secret Sea ink. I placed some of the Calypso Coral/copper edged ribbon on the bottom. I have a Pool Party base and a alyer of the Painted Patch DSP. I finised with some Painted Patch Pool Party dots. 
Have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous Pumpkins

 


Another card with the Painted Patch suite and using the mask for the pumpkins. I did three sets of pumpkins with the Painted Pumpkins Decorative Masks earlier this week. I used with my blending brush Pool Party and Secret Sea, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink, plus Golden Glow on the last.  I cut them with the Painted Pumpkins dies. For this card, I have a white base and a layer of white card stock ran through with the Rustic Check embossing folder. I cut a strip of the Painted Patch DSP and added some Calypso Coral/copper edged ribbon under it. I then stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral ink from the Painted Pumpkins set on white card stock and cut with the Textured Notes dies. I finished with some Painted Patch dots in Calypso Coral
Have a fab day and thanks for stopping by!

PP801 Painted Patch Pumpkins

 




I am playing along with Jaydee's tic-tac-toe challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with diagonial spaces-bright colors, free and layers! I love doing these pumpkins with the Painted Pumpkins Decotative Masks and grab my colors from the Painted Patch DSP. I did three sets of the pumpkins on white card stock with my blending brushes in different colors so I can make several cards after. Here, I have a blue pumpkin using Pool Party and Secret Sea, a pink one using Petal Pink and Calypso Coral plus a yellow using just Golden Glow ink. I used the #1 mask on the first two and then #2 and #4. The yellow one I just used #2 and #4. 
For the card, I have a Pool Party base and 2 layers of Painted Patch DSP. I then cut two white Textured Notes dies. I stamped the top one with a sentiment from Painted Pumpkins stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I tied the Calypso Coral bordered ribbon around before attaching then added the tie.  I cut a few leaves and trigs in Pool Party and Calypso Coral card stocks. I finished with some Painted Patch dots in Coral.    

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!
