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.
I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'. I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.
It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have! *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th.
After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little. It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.
See the flap on the left side of the card above? That flap holds down the front of the card. So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?

Isn't it pretty? The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.
I also used the amazingThoughtful Journey DSP seen here. It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.
This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.
The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here. It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.
