Gather Together Throw Back Thursday


I love being able to dig into retired treasures to create with, I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed this bundle.  Not only is it a stamp and die set but the dies also emboss on the leaves.  The detail in the embossing makes the leaves pop on your card.  I have listed supplies that are both current and retired, feel free to reproduce.  If you don't have the exact colours anymore, swap out with what you do have.  



Supply List:

Cardstock: Cajun Craze-cut at 5 1/2”x 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4”

Basic White-cut 2 at 4” x 5 1/4”; scrap for large leaf and sentiment

Pumpkin Pie; Daffodil Delight; Tip Top Taupe (retired) scraps for leaves

Ink: Cajun Craze; Daffodil Delight; Tip Top Taupe (retired)

Stamp Sets: Gather Together Bundle (retired)

Stampin Seal, Dimensionals

Blending Brushes

Early Expresso Stampin Write Marker

Double Scallop Punch

Birch Embossing Folder (retired)

Early Expresso Faux Suede ribbon-approx 3 1/2"

Paper Trimmer

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine

Step by Step Instructions:

Stamping: Stamp the large leaf and Gather Together in Cajun Craze on pieces of Basic White scraps. 

I also like to finish the inside of my cards so I then stamped the same large leaf in Daffodil Delight for the inside and added the sentiment in Cajun Craze on top of the leaf.

Run the second piece of Basic White through the Birch embossing folder then gently rub with the blending brush with some tip top taupe ink.  Don’t be too heavy with your ink or your image will be very dark.  Then using your marker, colour in a few marks on the trees to look like birch.

Cut out the leaves using the dies and the embossing machine.  Then, using the Cajun Craze ink and Blending Brushes, lightly brush on some ink to “colour” the leaf.

Now let’s assemble our card:

Adhere each of your leaves to your birch matte in a circular design.  Fold your ribbon in half and place over top of the leaves, leaving just enough showing on either side of the sentiment and glue in place.  Add Dimensionals to your sentiment and place over top of the ribbon and leaves.  Using Stampin Seal, adhere this to the cardbase and then add insert to inside.

I love to make fall cards as the colours are so rich and beautiful even though it isn't an occasion that I tend to send out cards for.  This year, that might change.  Hope you enjoyed my Pinterest inspired card as much as I do.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
