Today we're Creating Another Halloween or Fall Card Using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch Stamps. Tuesday we created a cutie with this stamp set. If you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

We're continuing to use the same stamp set...

Here's today's creation...

 a bit closer peek...

The designer paper layered on the Vanilla cardbase is from the Flowering Zinnias DSP--this is one  of my favorite pieces in that set of papers & it works just beautifully with the pumpkin images.

The designer paper has Lemon Lolly stars so we selected this color for our stitched circle on which to place our focal point. 

The pumpkins are stamped in Pumpki pie on this Lemon Lolly cardstock & the lemon shows through the pumpkins giving the highlights a very pretty "shine." As we did on Tuesday we were able to add the stems & leaves in Old Olive with a separate stampe.

We used the 'friend' from the Everyday Greetings set & stamped with Stazon Saddle Brown on Very vanilla cardstock.  We added mini dimensionals to pop it up giving it some definition.

Adding the Dark Pumpkin Pie Blend to the Basic Rhineston Jewels is such fun that we used this technique again for today's card. Color & sparkle at one time!

Stop back next week to see what we're up to!

This week we're exploring Simple & Sweet Halloween or Just Fall Cards Using Scenic Pumpkin Patch Stamps. Sometimes we need Halloween greetings and sometime we don't--so I like to build a card that can be used for both purposes.

This is the stamp set we're using this week....

Here's the card we created today...

Here's a bit closer look...

One of the wonderfu features of this stamp set is that the stems/leaves and the pumpkins are two separate stamps so that we can use appropriate colors instead of having orange stems/leaves or green pumpkins. Since the stamps are photopolymer--they are easily used to add the green stems to the top of the pumpkins.

We've layered the Peach Pie designer paper (2024-2026 In Color DSP) on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock base leaving a strip down the middle of the card to insert a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock on which we do our stamping.

The greeting is from a set of verses, Everyday Greetings, an Online Exclusive product. I love this script with our pumpkin images.

We've colored the Basic Rhinestone Jewels with Dark Pumpkin Pie Blend to give us that rich embellishment and tons of sparkle.

Today we're Using Larger Paper Scraps for Handmade Cards. Tuesday we were creating with 1" strips of designer paper...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

Again, we're using the Flowering Zinnia Designer paper

Here's today's featured card...

and a closer look at the focal point...

The central square is using the color on color Melon Mambo paper from the set...the square is 3 X 3 which is slightly larger than we've been using, however, it is a size that shows up in our scrap bin quite frequently.

Today's design is a simple card but that's what makes it so useful--you can use almost any designer scrap for a card like this.

As our base we selected the matching Melan Manbo cardstock and we embossed an overlayer with the Dashing Designs folder. This is one of those great designs that is "all over" but doesn't really pop out at you--it stays in the background.

Our true focal point is one of the larger Paper Butterflies--of course, you could use any of the sizes and shapes in this set. Another reason this is such a useful card design.

The greeting is from the Simply Said set--great versatility and simple scripts. So this card is also super for using any of these greetings.

Hope you enjoyed this series of posts...stop by next week to see what we are up to!

Today we're Using Up Paper Scraps to Make Handmade Cards. For a couple of weeks we've been creating some great cards with designer paper and learning some neat tips & tricks to use up our scraps. This is our final week of this series with 2 more super fun and easy cards.

The designer paper we're using this week is the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper--it's one of the most colorful and vibrant papers with which we are currently working...

Here is today's card...

& a bit closer look...

The Flowering Zinnia DSP is wonderfully coordinated with colors and designs which made our scrap selections quite easy for today's creation.  The ones we chose were small designs with great blending colors.  The strips were so easy--I'm sure your scrap bin has tons of 1" strips! You can even use designs from different designer paper series.

We layered these strips on Lemon Lime Twist and underlayed all with the Old Olive base card.

One of the design colors was Lemon Lolly which is quite light making it great for stamping our greeting.

Then our focal accent is the adorable Paper Butterfly. As you know these arrive in white and this makes them absolutely perfect for shading any color to  match your current project. We daubered this one with Pumpkin Pie ink and they "painted" it with gold Metallic Enamel Effects--that gives it a lovely shiny rich sheen. This was then embellished with 3 sparkly rhinestones and the card is ready for sending!

Today we're creating Another Card Using Designer Paper Scraps. Tuesday we used 6 designs of paper to create our card--if you missed it check it out here Click to see Tuesday's card.

We are using the same pack of designer paper, Take a Bow, for our scraps on todays card...actually you could use all the designs in this pack to make today's cards...it is a super versatile set of designer paper.

This is today's card

With a closer look

Today's design is very simple--just select 2 pieces from your scraps---either the same design or use coordinating designs.  We chose to use the same design at top and bottom.

The center white piece is perfect for stamping a focal point and your greeting. We stamped the tree from Peaceful Evergreens and then layered on the greeting. It was cut from red cardstock (Christmas labels). We then stamped Merry in red and hand cut this to layer over the trees to give it a nice scrip appearance.

The trees are topped with gold stars and we've sparkled it up with small rhinestones.

Stop back next week to see what we're up to!
