Materials:
    Stamps: Brightest Glow
    Ink: Evening Evergreen
    Card Stock:
        Soft Succulent - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 2 1/2" x 3"
        Evening Evergreen - 5 1/4" x 4"

        Glimmer Specialty Paper - 1 1/2" x 4"
    Accessories: Labels Aglow Dies, Christmas Banner Dies, Gold Satin Edged Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Today's card is another one using the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper.  I can't stop using it! It is just so pretty.  For this card, I paired it with the Christmas Banner Dies and die cut the evergreen from the Glimmer Specialty paper.  I love how the evergreen shimmers along with the gold in the paper.  The Gold Satin Edged Ribbon nicely finishes off the effect.  This is a fairly simple card, but It packs a lot of wow.

This card features two products that I initially passed over but with which I have since fallen in love.  The first is the Fond of Autumn bundle.  You can choose to either die cut the large image as a whole or to use the die that will cut it into its component parts.  I love the versatility!  The other product is the Split Card Textures Dies.  There are only two dies in this package, but, boy, do they pack a visual punch.  Although these dies are currently unavailable, they should be back in stock next week.  Be sure to check them out!

#SimpleStamping Friday: Fond of Autumn

Materials:
    Stamps: Fond of Autumn
    Ink: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party and Memento Black
    Card Stock:
        Daffodil Delight - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Sweet Sorbet - 4" x 5 1/4"
        Parakeet Party - 2" x 5 1/4"
        Basic White - 3" x 4 1/4"
    Accessories: Sweet Sorbet Light and Dark Blends, Parakeet  Party Light and Dark Blends and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

For today's #SimpleStamping Friday card, I used the Fond of Autumn stamp set to create this bright and cheerful thank you card.  I don't know if this is technically a #SimpleStamping since I used Stampin' Blends, but to me, if an image needs to be colored in it still qualifies.  Therefore, whatever devices you used to color also may be included.  What do you think of my logic?

This is another card I created when I got together to stamp with friends designed by my other friend Cathy (yes, there were two of them!).  It uses the Tree Lot dies which are a Saleabration option that coordinate with the Trees for Sale set in the July-December catalog.  She also made use of a past Paper Pumpkin kit for the sentiment.  You've got to love when you can bring out those old Paper Pumpkin sets.

Fond of Autumn Flower Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Fond of Autumn
    Ink: Tahitian Tide and Memento Black
    Card Stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 5 1/2" x 4 1/2"
        Tahitian Tide - 5 1/4" x 4" 
        Daffodil Delight - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
    Accessories: Autumn Bouquet Dies, Timeworn Type Folder, Daffodil Delight Dark Blends, Parakeet Party Light and Dark Blends, Tahitian Tide Light and Dark Blends, Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems and Stampin' Dimensionals

There is so much to look at in our July-December catalog, and I fully admit that I passed over the Fond of Autumn bundle when I first saw it.  I saw the one large stamp and decided that it wasn't very useful.  Well.  I got a chance to play with it when I was stamping with friends a couple of weeks ago and I came right home and placed it on my order.  Did you know that in addition to the one die to cut out the whole image, there is another die that cuts the image into three separate parts?  Game changer!  So many possibilities and I'm excited play with it some more.

#SimpleStampingFriday: Perched in a Tree Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Perched in a Tree
    Ink: Sahara Sand, Gray Granite, Pool Party and Mint Macaron
    Card Stock:
        Sahara Sand - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Mint Macaron - 5 1/4" x 4" 
        Basic White - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today's #SimpleStamping card is super simple, but I think it is striking in it's simplicity.  I used the Perched in a Tree set and only a few different colors of ink.  I also employed the masking technique to stamp the speckles around the bird.  To do that, I stamped the bird on my card stock and then I stamped the bird again on a post it note, making sure the head was at the top (where the sticky part is) of the post it note.  After I cut the bird out of the sticky note, I was able to place it on the stamped bird on the card stock.  I could then stamp my speckles wherever I wanted them and when I removed the post it note, my stamped bird remained clean.

I know it's only July, but once I get in the right mindset, I actually really like making Christmas cards.  There is just something about the colors and the artwork that excites me.  I'm absolutely in love with the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper which I used as the background on this card, and I'm super excited about this card.  It is classic and elegant and actually isn't that complicated to create.

The July-December catalog launches on Friday, and today I have a sneak peek for you.  This card was making the Perched in a Tree bundle.  This bundle was designed with Christmas in mind, but I just started my summer break-I'm not quite ready to start stamping Christmas cards, lol.  In any event, this sentiment also is in the set and I decided to use it to make a more all occasion card.  I'm loving the birch tree die cut in the background.  It's just so pretty!

Although you can quite order this set yet, there are still lots of great retiring products that you don't want to miss!  Many of them are available at discounts of up to 50% off.
