Yesterday's card I used the same stamp/framelits as today card and can you see how totally different they are? This is a keeper set and for the fall/Thanksgiving season, it needs to make it to your work area! It is the Fall Fest Bundle!
I know I have been “square” this week…but here again is another square card for you. Today’s card is a 4 ½” square and I think that this card is just adorable!
From many of the comments and emails I have received I realize that many of you have “fall themed” stamp sets already on your shelf and you know what I say…if you LOVE them and they work for YOU….than I say do the “happy dance” and use them BUT….if not – this is a keeper bundle!
I think the thing I love about this is … – true you can use it for Halloween but you are not limited to just jack-o-lanterns….pumpkins are totally fall and I adore the 4 different leaves for so many projects!
This card came about with things that I just had not but away when I was making all of my cards for the week! Let’s get going!
- The card is very vanilla (4 ½” square) and then the next layer is soft suede just a “smidge” smaller! (Remember…. use the inside of this piece as it will be covered up…save your paper)
- Taking a 4” square and running it through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, the fun and texture POPS and the card is coming together!
- Scraps…scraps…scraps – I love using up scraps! Stamping the Pumpkin in Tangerine Tango and the leaves are in Crushed Curry…use the matching framelits to pop them out!
- The Starburst Framelits were out…so what the heck – out came a shape and then I used the circle punch to accent the focal part of the card!
- Speaking of focal…I used the Hardwood Stamp (as I had that out for a card next week) and I stamped a scrap piece in Sahara Sand and used the Banners Framelits to cut the shape out!
- Still not quite sure how to pull it all together, I played around with it and PRESTO – it worked! Taking some linen thread, I tied a simple knot around the stem of the Pumpkin!
- The sentiment is from the And Many More Stamp Set and then popped out with the Word Window Punch!
Did you notice…I did not use 1 stampin’ dimensional on this whole card (that is very unusual for me) I highly suggest for you to use the “green glue” for this card…when I am adhering pieces that I am not 100% sure where they are going to go…I like this adhesive as it gives you some “wiggle room”
- Envelope time…to the punchboard we go – I am still amazed at how this $20.00 tool does soooo many things! The DSP is from the Flaskback DSP; I love that this paper coordinates with Very Vanilla.
Well…whatcha think? Think about this – you could change up the sentiment for a fall birthday or a thinking of you…. thanksgiving…. wow – many options! To me the simplicity and just “clean” lines of this card make it a keeper!
I realize that I have used a bunch of product but I will say that all of the products that I have used are great basics of clean and simple card making. You have heard me say before, using the basics and then slowly adding onto your collections of punches and framelits is the best tip I can give you!
With that said, today is the last day for the Big Shot promotion. This tool is amazing! I thank you for popping by today! Please feel free to email me if I can help you with this card!
We had a text from Hannah and she has arrived safely in India…I cannot wait to hear from her and hear all about the host family she is staying with! Many thanks for your thoughts and emails about her journey!
Monday….MONDAY – yep – Make it Mine Monday is tomorrow!!! I was so touched that many of you missed it last week…it’s back and I cannot wait to see what you come up with!
Have a SUPER Sunday and until tomorrow!
Hi Susan, you probably already know this but when I clicked on your link to the Clear Mount Stamp Set called And Many More Item 134276 the price is showing $46.95 instead of $26.95.
Hmmmm….thanks for letting me know – I just tried to click on it and it just went to a blank screen – I’ll check later!
This is a great stamp set…I do love all of the simple sentiments and you are absolutely right…it is $26.95! Enjoy the day…
Love the woodgrain
Oh Susan…I love this set of Framelits ! I have a jillion Halloween and Fall items and do not need another thing . But ….need and WANT are two different things!
I really like the additions behind your pumpkin .
Glad your Hannah is planted safely ! Keep us posted please .
Beautiful card!
Dear Susan, This card i so sweet. i love all the details about your card. The colors and the textures embossing folder are so great for this card. I am so glad that Hannah arrived safely in iIndia. That is a long way to go. Have a great day. Happy Stamping, Ellen Hinds
Whatcha think? I think it is hip to be square! I had to laugh – I looked and thought why is there a woodgrain bow on the bottom and then I saw it was a banner! Duh, I guess I let my imagination go a bit too wild there! I guess the bottom of the pumpkin just git the right spot for it to look like a b bow tie to me. But, I love this card! The colors are so crisp and clean just like fall air. You could easily make it a thank you as well! I love the touch of the linen thread on the pumpkin stem sort of “ties” in with the mating! Sorry, couldn’t help myself! I love that you get so much mileage out of the starburst framelits – the use here is really fun! Totally love it!
