Today we're Creating with Stampin'Up! Perched in a Tree Stamps & Aspen Dies using All About Autumn DSP. I'm really getting in to my autumn aura...it's my absolute favorite season of the year (except maybe Christmas--they run neck and neck)! 

The new holiday mini has a set of designer papers that just makes me drool--the All About Autumn....so today I decided to challenge myself to use the back foil-embedded side of those papers...here's today's creation...

And a closer look..

This is definitely one of those cards that appears much better in real life than in photos---the gold foil embedded in both of the designer papers used here is quite stunning---I just can't seem to capture that in the photo--do I need photography help? Yep!!! 

As mentioned the back side of all the designs in All About Autumn featured gorgeous images with embedded gold foil....the richness is hard to describe and to photograph.

This card features the lovely 'thank you' greeting along with three small leaves die cut from Moody Mauve, Pretty Peacock and the new Oxidized Copper specialty paper. Notice that the Mauve & Peacock leaves have a gold shimmer--this was created using a dauber with Gold Enamel paint..it gives that warm glow to any of the cardstock--almost like creating your own designer paper.

To top off this image we used the Mauve Speckled Dots--just a touch more of sparkle to rev up the card to the next level.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this new set!

Remember:

*If you use this month's host code (EK74Z2KW)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product that you order (excludes shipping & tax).

Just a bit closer look...

You can see what a pop that background image gives to the simple birthday greeting...and just as in Tuesday's card...you can adapt this image color to any card base or color combo.

Our designer paper is from the Subtles set...these are wonderful sets of paper since you can match or coordinate any color in the Stampin'Up!  families. The large polkadots are perfect with the balloon design.

The greeting is from the Biggest Wish set ---a sort of mix and match set of greeting words that you can arrange any way you want to fit your card front design (and use on th inside too).

Today we're Creating Another Simple Beautiful Card Using Stampin'Up! New Magical Meadow Dies. Tuesday we created a stunning card with this set...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

Again we are only using the dies from this set that are not stamp-based...

Here's today's design...

And a closer look...

Our base for this card is Basic White--this helps to dramatize the designer paper cuts (Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper #162133)--see how it makes the designer paper pop!

The die cuts for this card (Magical Meadow Dies #162143) were selected from the paper images--they coordinate so well with the paper designs. One cut was from the Silver foil and the 2nd cut is from Blueberry Bushel which is one of the colors used in the paper.

Check out the Starry Sky Metallic Mesh Trim bow--what a great match and it adds a bit more sparkle.

We're using the Faceted Gem Trio again but this time the Lost Lagoon color--this blends nicely wiht the paper images as well as the Pool Party cardstock with the greeting.

The greeting (Go To Greetings) was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink and so matches the die cut and the images in the paper. By using this greeting set you can build a stash of these cards and know that you'll have a greeting for all your occasions.

Stop by next Tuesday to see what new set we'll be using!

Today we're creating a Simple Card Using Stampin'Up! Magical Meadow Dies. This set of dies can really be used without use of any stamps in the stamp set---the dies that are not 'stamp based' are an excellent set that coordiate fantastically with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers (#162133).

These are the specific non-stamp based dies...

Here's today's card...

And a closer look...

This charming designer paper is created with the watercolor "look" that softens the images and allows the blending of the colors in the background of your projects. This particular design is one of my favorites...if you do memory keeping--this page alone is absolutely stunning as a background..check this out...

The featured die cut is from the "grape" foil in the Silver Foil (Online Exclusive product) so we get that deep grape that blends nicely with the other colors but gives that super shine to add character to the card. 

The ink is Orchid Oasis (an In Color) that surprisingly just makes that greeting pop--it was a serendipity selection that is always a fun experience when creating--to find something beautiful that is unexpected!

The embellishments are the Faceted Gems Trio (#162148)--they truly are 'gems' that just pop pizzazz into the design.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next Thursday to see what we're creating with this new set!

Today we're creating Another Quick Card Using Stampin'Up! Inked & Tiled Stamp Set. Tuesday we designed a Curry on Curry card using this set...if you missed it check it out here Click here for Tuesday's card.

Today's card uses Calypso Coral as the primary color...

And here's a closer look...

The underlayer of designer paper (Inked Botanicals) uses the same leaf image we're using in our focal design but in the Calypso Coral color.

We've stamped our image in Calypso Coral and Garden Green--definitely end of summer colors with lots of pizazz.

The embellishments are again today from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots--this time we're using Copper Clay--and they work so well with the Calypso Coral ink and designer paper. One hint about using these dots--don't let the name of the color discourage you from using the dots---they seem to have a lighter brighter color than the cardstock and inks in the same named color.

We did cheat with the ribbon on this design--I'm using the Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim (#162239) which is in the new mini catalog going live September 6th---put it on your Wish list and you can purchase it then.

The brushed brass butterfly also fits the late summer image.

For the fower center we added a bit of glam using the flat backed pearls--these are totally awesome because they are flat which means they don't add all the height for mailing. PLUS they tend to take on some of the color over which they are placed--this means they work fantastically for many color scenarios.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next Tuesday to see what our September FREE class will be!

Remember:

*If you use this month's host code (J4WPM4PZ)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product that you order (excludes shipping & tax). 

Directions:

1. Cut Thick Very Vanilla cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score long side at 4 1/4 (card base).

2. Cut Coral Designer Paper (Inked Botanicals) 4 X 5 1/4; adhere to card front.

3. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 2 1/4 X 4:

    *Stamp flower in Calypso Coral and leaf stem in Garden green; add Wink of Stella to flower.

    *Add one large, one medium, and one small Copper Clay dots (23-25 In Color dots) (see photo for placement.)

    *Add one large brushed brass butterfly

4. Cut approximately 7" of Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim, tie in bow and adhere to stem with a glue dot.

Today we're Creating Simplicity with Stampin'Up! Inked and Tiled Stamp Set. This set just reminds me of late summer and early autumn...and the simplicity of the designs lend themselves to quick and easy cards with lots of class...

Here's today's card...

And here's a bit closer view...

The focal image is stamped directly on the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper...it is such a lovely set of designs---and they all work well together. This specific light plaid works great for allowing us to stamp the image on it. We've used the double floral and added the double bud to the right side of the stem. We're using Crushed Curry ink so this makes color coordination a snap!

We added the underlaying Designer paper in the darker curry polka dot--again blending is so easy with this set of designer paper.

I love the color combo in these papers--the Lost Lagoon is just a perfect accent on this  curry card--I probably would not have picked it until I saw it in the DSP--another great tip when trying to select color sets--check out the DSP color combinations to see if you like the way they blend.

Lastly we use the Wild Wheat In Color Dots for our accent embellishments...now I have to say this Wild Wheat looks more like Curry to me and that's wonderful since we're working with Curry today.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this cute set.

Remember:

*If you use this month's host code (J4WPM4PZ)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product that you order (excludes shipping & tax).

2. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 4 1/8 X 5 3/8, put through Timeworn Type embossing folder and adhere to card front.

3. Cut Dotted Curry DSP (Inked Botanicals) 2 X 4 1/8; adhere approximately 1" from bottom of the card front

4. Cut light Curry plaid paper 2 1/2 X 4 1/2

Today we're Creating Another Classic Guy Card Using Stampin'Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set. Tuesday we used the wolf stamp from this set...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

Here's today's card...

And a bit closer look...

The primary color in today's card is Blueberry Bushel...as I mentioned Tuesday August is my son's birthday month and blue is his favorite color...thus we're using a dark blue-- but one with a lot of life in it.

This stamp has so much detail and depth built into the stamp itself we don't need to do any further coloring or enhancement...it's perfect as stamped in Blueberry Bushel.  One of the useful things about using a single color for a card is that you don't need to worry about coordinating with just the right complementary color!

After cutting the focal point circle in the top layer we ran the layer through the 'crosshatch' folder (one of the 3 folderes in the Basic 3D embossing folder set that is an Online Exclusive).  This folder is nearly universally useful...it's so good for many cards and works perfectly with this design.

To top it off we used the Blueberry Tinsel Gems (3 pk) that add that little touch of class pushing it to the next level of design.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next week to see what we're creating.

Remember:

*If you use this month's host code (J4WPM4PZ)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product that you order (excludes shipping & tax). 

Directions:

1. Cut Blueberry Bushel cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score long side at 4 1/4 (card base).

2. Cut Basic White cardstock 5 1/4 X 4; adhere to card front.

3. Cut Blueberry Busehel 3 7/8 X 5 1/8; using stitched circle die (approx 2 1/8" diameter- Stylish Shapes), cut hole approximatel 1" from top and sides.

4. Run this layer through the crosshatch folder (Basic 3D embossing folders):

Today we're Creating a Guy Card Using Stampin'Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set. This is my son's birthday month so I'm always thinking about guy cards in August.  Since I'm a 'girly' kind of stamper I am always into embellishments and a bit frilly. But that just won't work for guys like my son. I riffled through my stamp sets and grabbed the Wildlife Wonder set...it's perfect for guys!

Here's the card for today...

And a bit closer look...

Aiming for quick and classic...which to me meant not a lot of coloring but still a couple of interest points.

Earthen Textures designer paper was perfect for this wildlife--this design was done in Pebble Path--one of the new In colors.  So the card base color was automatically selected.

The wolf image is so detailed that no coloring was needed...it was perfect in Pebble Path ink....as is the greeting.

Not wanting the wild plant to over power or have the same "weight" as the focal image so I still used Pebble Path ink but stamped off before stamping on the card. (Stamping off - inking the stamp, stamping on scrap paper, then stamping the image on the real paper).

The final top off is the addition of the Pebble Path dots which adds a bit of shine but still doesn't overpower the focal images.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this cute set.

Remember:

*If you use this month's host code (J4WPM4PZ)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product that you order (excludes shipping & tax). 

Directions:

1. Cut Pebble Path cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score long side at 4 1/4 (card base).

2. Cut the designer paper (Earthen Textures) 4 X 5 1/4; adhere to card front.

3. Die cut Countryside Corners (approx 4" long) from Very Vanilla cardstock; repeat with Pebble Path cardstock.

    *Stamp wolf & greeting in Pebble Path ink (see photo).

    *Stamp off the wild plant in Pebble Path ink

    *Add 1 large & 2 small Pebble Path dots (see photo).

4. Cut the Pebble Path die cut in half horizontally; adhere both pieces underneath the stamped layer so just a small border appears at the top and bottom; use dimensionals to attach to card base.
