Sundays Are for Sketches: #16 of 22

For today's sketch, I decided to mix it up a bit and use the To Market paper pack.

I started with a Peach Pie cardstock base (which coordinates nicely even though Pumpkin Pie is the featured color) and then stamped my sentiment from Labeled with Love in Flirty Flamingo.  A pair of Peach Pie gems finished it off.

I’d love to see your take on this sketch!

Country Ducks Easel Card

Here's a fun easel card that is easy to make but packs a big wow!  First I die cut the pond frame, cattails, lily pads, and flowers from the Lily Pond Lane suite and assembled all the pieces.  I scored the card front at 2-1/8" and only adhered my elements to the bottom half of the card front.

On the inside, I used dimensionals to pop up the DSP strip and sentiment so that when you open the card and fold down the front panel, it will stand up.

This fun fold card is easier to make than you might think!  I'd love for you to try one and share!

Thinking of You Always Fall Card

Using card stock only, I was channeling fall vibes while making this thinking of you always card. 

I began by die cutting the branches frame (from the Nests of Winter suite) in both Wild Wheat and Mossy Meadow and then layered them (turning one 180 degrees from the other).  I ended up adding some Crumb Cake ink distressing.  After stamping and die cutting the bird, I used colored pencils to color it and the berries.  I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and then went back with Crumb Cake and a blending brush.  I really like the addition of the orange faux glass "berries."

August Paper Pumpkin Reveal

The Paper Pumpkin subscription is so fun!  This box included TWO stamp sets, a Night of Navy stampin' spot, and rose gold twine.  (I am loving the rose gold accents!  So fancy!)  I made most of the cards from my box recently, and here are the three styles. 

The first card has preprinted balloons and then you stamp several more.  The die cut balloons with the rose gold foil accents are popped with Stampin' Dimensionals foam tape.

The second card will be so much fun to give for a BIG birthday!  Here it is all tied up:

And then it opens (and opens and opens) accordion-style to reveal the sentiment panel!

The final design is a yummy slice of cake with a pretty candle and fork.  

Did you know that as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can often buy refills for your kit (to make even more cards) and there are exclusive add-ons each quarter?  This quarter's add-ons include a die of the "Hooray" sentiment.  You can learn more and subscribe HERE.

Sundays Are for Sketches: #15 of 22

The next sketch in our series of sketches from p. 22 of the Stampin' Up! annual catalog is a pretty simple one.

Of course I had to add my own twist by layering the Unbounded Beauty DSP at an angle onto the Peach Pie cardstock mat.  The sentiment and flower dies are all from the Sentimental Park collection (Pretty in Pink cardstock & glimmer paper plus Peach Pie cardstock).

I know exactly which friend will be receiving this card for her birthday, since she's a big orange fan!

Splendid Autumn Fancy Fold Birthday Card

Splendid Autumn is a new collection available in the Sept.-Dec. mini catalog, and I had fun creating this card to celebrate an autumn birthday.

I used two different sheets of Splendid Autumn DSP, the lavender asters pattern for the side bar and the fancy-fold "flower," and the back of one of the tree patterns for the large rectangle.  I used Wild Wheat cardstock, faux glass gem, and rustic ribbon along with the new golden woven leaves.

Who has a fall birthday?

Happy Birthday Falling Leaves Card

Labor Day weekend  to me has always been the final weekend of summer even though I know that is not technically when summer ends and fall begins.  In honor of the fall season approaching (even though it's been in the 90s, leaves are starting to turn), we made this birthday card at my card class last month.

We die cut the leaves from a beautiful piece of Thoughtful Journey DSP with the leaf die from the July-September Paper Pumpkin add-on exclusive.   After adhering them to the Mossy Meadow cardstock, we fussy cut around the leaves to expose the right panel, a piece of Thoughtful Journey 12"x12" specialty paper.  We used the Labeled with Love bundle for the die cut tag and birthday sentiment.  Finally, we finished off the card with pearls from the same collection.

Happy fall, y'all!

Happy Birthday Arch Card

This arch card was easy to make using the pretty Thoughtful Journey DSP and a die from CTMH.  I used both sides of the DSP.

The stamp & coordinating die is from the July Paper Pumpkin kit and the add-on quarterly purchase.  I forgot to get a picture, but I stamped the flower outline in Mossy Meadow on the envelope and on the white panel inside (coloring the inside flower also).

Sundays Are for Sketches: #14 of 22

Here's the 14th installment of the 22 sketches you can find on p. 22 of the Stampin' Up! 2024-25 Catalog.

In keeping with the theme, I am continuing to use the Unbounded Beauty DSP, this time paired with Shy Shamrock ink (and the sentiment from Country Ducks).  I fussy cut the flowers to add another pretty element to this basic card.

You may remember the card that I made for my brother's birthday based on this sketch.  (You can find all the deets HERE.)

Don't you love how different two cards can look even though you're using the same "recipe" (sketch)?
