Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap. We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap. These swaps are super fun to make! The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Isn't it amazing!? We had enough people to make two! I'll share the other one tomorrow.
I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper. This texture style paper is on sale right now in October! But there's just two days left to get it! Go here to order yours.
My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock.
Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds.
That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.
My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it. See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here.
Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side.
Isn't that the best & most simple layout?! Think of the many cards you could make with this design.
The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack. This paper can be found herein our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.
I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good. That's how the Online Exclusive products work.

There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.
The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now. The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.
Click on the pictures above or below to get to my new catalog shares – choose from designer papers, In Color bundles or a ribbon share. They're available through May 7th only.
