Forever Greenery DSP - Forever Gold Specialty DSP - Beautiful Autumn - Stampin' Up! 2020

 

The focal point of this card is both the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and the Forever Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Such pretty colours in this paper and the gold goes so well with it.   I chose the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn set and embellished using three of the Gold Metallic Pearls.  Pretty Peacock was used for the stamping and matting of the patterned paper, with Thick Whisper White as the card base.

Pretty dang simple!

Playful Pets DSP - Stampin' Up! 2020

Here's a sweet little kitty card I made as a birthday card.  The cat is fussy cut from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper. I think she is adorable!  I added the balloon from Special Someone as a playful fun element.  Happy Day is from Itty Bitty Greetings.   The centre strip, which is from World of Good paired well with the colour in the cat.

All in all, a simple but fun card.  This card was made for the secret sister exchange I was participating in.  This was her birthday card from September and I added a few embellishment samples in the bag pictured below.  Some elements I had sitting in a stash made for a quick bag to mail off. 

Hope your creative juices have been flowing!  You can see all Stampin' Up!'s awesome products at:

Joy to the World - Paper Pumpkin - Stampin' Up! 2020

Here's a quick and easy alternate card made with this month's Paper Pumpkin entitled Joy to the World.  Normally these kits are available only in North America; but this one is a global kit and will be available to other markets.

The kit comes with foil sentiments in English, French and German.  The sentiment in the above card is "love" in German.  I have already given this card away!  I love the Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and gold foil together.

The only things that are not from the kit are the embellishment in the centre of the flower (retired) and the rhinestones (which were coloured with Blends)

The kit came with 8 lined envelopes to co-ordinate with the images.  I enjoy the non-standard 4" X 6" (approx.) cards this kit provided.

It is a fun kit filled with tons of possibilities!

Summer is now at an end and fall is here in full force, but it is always in season to make cards with butterflies!  I received a Secret Sister card, which I loved so I decided to CASE it and this is the result.  

I was happy to cut into some of the Flowers for Every Season DSP to make this a quick and easy card.  This paper features the new In Colors, with Misty Moonlight used for the card base and butterflies.

The Butterfly Gala punched elements were easy to colour with the blends.

Balmy Blue Blends

Celebrate Sunflowers - Stampin' Up! 2020

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I made this card in August for a Secret Sister exchange.  So, just posting now that the session has ended.  I have been seeing many cards  made with the business size envelope in mind.  They have been referred to as "slimline" cards.  It was fun using a different size base to create.  I think it has a clean and simple look.

Celebrate Sunflowers together with the Sunflowers dies were used to create the three small sunflowers.  I coloured them with Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Soft Suede and Old Olive Blends.  The sunflowers were stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink.  You can find this fun set on page 13 of the annual catalogue.  

Other products on my card are:

Elegant Faceted Gems

In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and

Itty Bitty Greetings.

Paper Pumpkin - September 2020 Hello Pumpkin' - Stampon' Up! 2020

Another quick card with September's Hello Pumpkin.

A Mossy Meadow card base with a Whisper White layer was used to highlight the three Cajun Craze lattice panels that were joined together as a backing.  I cut the sentiment apart to help the Give Thanks fit nicely onto the pumpkin.  Love the pumpkins!

So that's my quick, clean and crisp card for today.

Hello Pumpkin Sept, 2020 - Paper Pumpkin - Stampin' Up!

This is the very first Hallowe'en card I have made!  The card is made with the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin called Hello Pumpkin.  It may take me forever to finish off this kit...there are that many elements in the kit!

The kit is geared to make treat packages, but I started off by making cards.  The black card base, white card stock and the spider were not included in the kit.  The Spider Trinket is a retired product; I just cut off the end.

This really was fun!  If you would like to learn more about Paper Pumpkin, please let m know.  You can visit
