Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's blog post! I am excited to share the second in my four part series focused on the new Gorgeous Leaves bundle.  Today was all about #simplestampin.  I pulled out some paper, stamps and ink and had a grand old time! 

And here is today's project...


This stamp set arrived just in time for fall and we are so ready for some fall weather here in Texas.  This card started with a base of Very Vanilla and was so simple to put together.  Thanks to the Stamparatus I was able to produce a good number of these cards pretty quickly to add to my stash of "Thinking of You" cards.  Using the largest leaf, stamp in alternating colors and in alternating directions.  Can't go wrong with #simplestampin.

Check out some close-ups below.  While I decided to leave the inside of today's card blank don't forget you can always add some extra coordinating stamps or sentiments...

Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
Paper: Very Vanilla

Bundle: Gorgeous Leaves

 Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's blog post!  After a short break to get this family settled for the start of school, I'm back to showcase the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.  This set has some gorgeous die-cuts and the stamp set is lovely.  

I am also excited to announce a new program planned in partnership with the Bee Cave Public Library.  Scheduled for November 2021, you can come out and learn more about stamping and cardmarking as part of the "What's New Wednesday" program.  Check back as we get closer to the program date for more details.  

The layout for today's project was inspired by the Stampin' Pretty Sketchbook #28.  You can check it out here.  

And here is today's project...



You can never go wrong with a color combination of Crumb Cake and Night of Navy and today's card is no exception.  I love the colors of fall and I think the pop of Terracotta Tile really makes this card.  Today's card features a cluster of cut outs made with the Intricate Leaves die-cuts.  Those pieces were secured using Stampin' Up! glue dots and the sentiment was popped up using Stampin' Up! mini dimensionals.  Add a small bow of twine and some gold sequins for the finishing touches. 

Don't forget the inside of your card either! 



Card Detail
Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Terracotta Tile, Early Espresso
Stamps: Gorgeous Leaves, A Touch of Ink (sentiment)
Ink: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy
Tools: Intricate Leaves die-cuts, Stitched Shapes die-cuts, Banner Punch
Accessories: White twine, Gold sequins

Check out another edition of Marley's corner below.  It's been awhile since we've seen a one-of-a-kind Marley creation, so she wanted to share today's card featuring "love and flowers".

Card: Give Thanks

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I am excited to share the final installment in my tour through the Arrange a Wreath bundle.  Today's project takes a little detour from the wreath focus and showcases some of the other stamps and dies in this lovely set.  Take a look below! 

And here is today's project...


I decided to give the new Harvest Meadow DSP a try as the focus point of today's card.  This beautiful DSP has a beautiful mix of colors.  Today's card is paired with Bumblebee, Evening Evergreen and Crumb Cake ink.  I popped today's sentiment to make sure that is stands out from the background and gave it a little extra with a quick bow of linen twine. 

Check out some close ups below...




Anyone have any ideas on which set to feature next?! Check back next week to see which is the lucky winner!
