Happy Fall Y'all Stampers Showcase Blog Hop


Good morning my crafty friends!!! How are you today? It's the last Monday of the month and that means it's time for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!! This month's theme is all about my favorite time of year and I'm so excited to share my card with you, so let's get started!


I'm using the Rustic Crate Stamp & Die Bundle for my card, combined with the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper. What a beautiful combination it is too!! Oh boy!!


I guess you could say this is a Fancy Fold Card. Though, it's very simple.  The base is a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card, scored at 4 1/4".  But, it's also scored one more time. There's a 1" fold on the front edge.  It's been folded back and glued in place. 

You'll need: 

* 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" THICK Basic White Cardstock (scored at 1" and 4 1/4")
* Copper Clay Cardstock pieces: 3 1/8" x 5 3/8" and (cut 2) 7/8" x 5 3/8"
* Autumn DSP pieces: 3" x 5 1/4" and (cut 2) 3/4" x 5 1/4"
* Pecan Pie Cardstock: scraps to cut crate
* Pretty Peacock Cardstock: scraps for gloves
* Basic White Cardstock: scrap for image and 2 7/8" x 1/2" strip for sentiment

After layering the 3 1/8" piece of Copper Clay Cardstock and the 3" piece of DSP to the card front, I glued the 1" strip back on top of it.  Then, I layered the Copper Clay and DSP strips onto the front and inside edges as shown. The white borders from the card base really stand out nicely this way. 


I stamped the pumpkin and sunflowers image in Early Espresso ink and colored with my Stampin' Blends Markers. 

After assembling the crate, I slid the image into it with a little line of glue along the back bottom edge, to hold it inside.  The gloves were also attached with just a touch of liquid glue. 

That beautiful copper metallic ribbon was cut lengthwise in half and then folded over behind the crate before I attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

"Blessed Beyond Measure" was stamped in Early Espresso ink on the sentiment strip and then also attached with Dimensionals. 

I finished off this beautiful card with a few of the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots. 


This card was so much fun to create and that crate is just as pretty as it can be! Don't you think?  

As I was creating the crate piece for the card, I thought it would make an adorable little gift tag.  So, I set to work making another one to try it out! For this tag, I actually stamped two of the pumpkin/sunflower images.  I colored all of one image and the two sunflowers from the other.  I fussy cut the flowers and attached them to the completely colored image with Stampin' Dimensionals.  That made a really nice piece! "FOR YOU" is the little label die cut from the coordinating set. It's also attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.   


Of course, if this is to be a tag, it needs to have a way of attaching to a package!  I added a lenght of Gold Trim to the back handle of the crate, and Viola!! A super cute little fall gift tag!! I really like it, and the two together make a fine gift set!! Hmmmmmm, maybe a beautiful fall candle would be the perfect gift!

Autumn/Halloween Stampers Showcase Blog Hop


Good morning my crafty friends! It's the last Monday of the month, and that means its time for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!! YAYAYA!!!

It also happens to be Halloween!! DOUBLE YAYA!! This month's theme is Autumn or Halloween.  Since I have done my 13 Days of Halloween Treats recently, I thought I'd take a break from the spooky things and go with a nice fall themed card.  

However, if you'd like to check out my 13 Days of Halloween Treats, you can find them by visiting my YouTube Playlist Here: 


Now then, let me share my Fall card with you..... 


First of all, can I just say that I am IN LOVE with this stamp set? Not only does it have beautiful sentiments, but just look at that maple leaf cluster! It's GORGEOUS!  What's not to love about it?  It's simply beautiful.  So, I chose to let the stamp set have center stage. 

My card base is an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4") piece of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.  The front layer of the card is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the Cottage Gingham Designer Series Paper. I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp the leaf cluster on a 3" x 4" piece of Basic White Cardstock.  The sentiment was also stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock, then I fussy cut around it.  It's layered onto a 4" x 5/8" strip of Cajun Craze Cardstock. 


As you can see, this is a pretty simple card.  But oh my is that leaf pretty!! Everything is glued directly, except that Cajun Craze strip. It's attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Then, the sentiment "so grateful" is glued directly to the strip. It's just beautiful.  

Of course, if you like a gussied up card, you could always add a Linen Thread bow or a few rhinestones.  Perhaps you could even add a little Wink of Stella to the leaf.  Yes, you could certainly do any or all of the above.  But the simplicity of this card is part of its charm, I think. 


Be sure to follow the hop around and visit all of the blogs listed below!  This hop is my favorite one because all of the designers involved always do beautiful work!  Hop around and see for yourself. Enjoy!
