A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!

October 4, 2023

Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!

We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes.

This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here. This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below.

If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them. Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me! *see details below

The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut. Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors.

Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.

The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here. It's a big favorite of mine this season.

The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers. *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock!

Christmas card swaps!

October 27, 2021
I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps. We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap.

Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set. Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

Save

Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
- Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
- Hippo & Basic Border dies
- Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP
- 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- Soft Succulent ribbon
And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder!

Save

Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.

Save

Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog.

I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut. This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.

It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.

Save

The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here. They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

October 26, 2021
I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs. It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.

Save

The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?' It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'.

Details:
- The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
- The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers.
- That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration.
- The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut
Save

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
  • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
  • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

And here's the video!
