It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.
Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU. I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.
Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!
On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors. I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.
Isn't it gorgeous? The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here. A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils! Watch the video below to see how.
I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink. It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper. I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins.
Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold. This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here. It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below
These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here. *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.
Look at this pretty & quick treats box. It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here. You get 10 boxes for $6. Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.
Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!
You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards…. I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste! Watch my tip on this in the video below.
I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table! Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents. Mmm – I think I have a plan!
Jacki made this next card using just four 3/4" strips of this pretty designer paper. Think of all the cards you could make with your leftover thin strips!
Her card base is Mossy Meadow with a 4" X 5 1/4" layer. Besides the DSP she added the greeting strips and a pretty leaf in yellow that pulls those peeks of yellow from the DSP. LOVE it!
