Today's #SimpleStamping Friday card is brought to you buy the Soft Seedlings set.  For this card, I inked the leaves using Pumpkin Pie and then I rolled the Cherry Cobbler pad around the edges of the stamp before stamping it on my white card stock.  I then hand cut the image and popped it up on my card.  Quick and easy, but effective.

In today's Minute to Make It Video, I'm showing you how to create this beautiful fall card using the Love of Leaves bundle.

 

I've spoken previously about how I didn't think I needed the Love of Leaves bundle until I started seeing samples.  Once I realized how beautiful the reverse images for the die cuts are, I knew I wanted to add it to my collection. With the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, this card really shows off this feature, and the colors perfectly evoke a crisp, fall day.

Learn to Stamp: Make a Wreath with the Stamparatus

Materials:

Stamps: Banner Year

Ink: Cajun Craze, Garden Green, Crushed Curry

Card Stock:

    Cajun Craze - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

    Crumb Cake - 5 1/4" x 4" and 3 3/4" x 3/4'

    Early Espresso - 5 1/4" x 2 1/4"

 Accessories: Layering Squares Dies, Banners Pick a Punch, Stamparatus, Bumblebee 1/4" Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

In today's Learn to Stamp Video, I'm sharing how to use the Stamparatus to make a wreath:

 

A wreath on a card is a rather classic image, and they can be made with just about anything.  The challenge, however, is to actually stamp your images in a circle.  Using the Stamparatus, you can get a perfectly circular wreath every single time, and it is super easy!  What other images can you think of that you could use to make a wreath card?

You can order these supplies by going to my website or by clicking the online ordering button above.  When you place an order in the month of October using the hostess code MPD6WQQZ, I will send you my Have a Hoot Tutorial, which gives you the instructions to make six cards using the Have a Hoot Bundle as a thank you.  If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards yourself.  I will send you the tutorial automatically.

Love of Leaves Fall Card

Materials:

Stamps: Love of Leaves

Ink: Bumblebee, Blackberry Bliss and Cinnamon Cider

Card Stock:

    Bumblebee - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

    Blackberry Bliss - 5 1/4" x 4" and 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

    Cinnamon Cider - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

    Mossy Meadow - 2" x 2"

    Whisper White - 5" x 3"

Accessories: Stitched Leaves Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Bumblebee 1/4" Ribbon, Sponge Daubers and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

When the seasonal catalog first came out, the Love of Leaves set with the accompanying dies was not one that I thought I needed.  Then I started seeing samples with, and dang, don't you know it just fell into my shopping cart!  I love how when you cut a leaf shape, you not only get the leaf, but the negative image has stitching around it, making it a usable component as well.

For this card, I cut the large leaf out of the center of the Cinnamon Cider card stock and set the die cut leaf aside.  I then inked the corresponding image in Bumblebee and used sponge daubers to add a little Cinnamon Cider and Blackberry Bliss.  I stamped it on Whisper White card stock and cut it out.  I popped the Cinnamon Cider layer up with dimensionals and then I adhered the stamped leaf flat to the Blackberry Bliss.  If you attach the Cinnamon Cider layer first, you can place the stamped leaf through the whole and it will line up perfectly.

You can order these supplies by going to my website or by clicking the online ordering button above.  When you place an order in the month of September using the hostess code ABBBP7MP, I will send you my Autumn Goodness Tutorial, which gives you the instructions to make six cards using the Autumn Goodness Bundle as a thank you.  If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards yourself.  I will send you the tutorial automatically.

Minute to Make It: Jar of Flowers

Materials:

Stamps: Jar of Flowers

Ink: Gray Granite, Crushed Curry and Memento Black

Card Stock:

    Cinnamon Cider - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 

    Crushed Curry - 5 1/4" x 4"

    Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 2"

    Mossy Meadow - 3" x 4"

    Whisper White - 2 3/4" x 4" and 2 1/2" x 2 3/4"

 Accessories: Daffodil Delight Blends, Mossy Meadow Blends, Cinnamon Cider Blends, Rich Razzleberry Blends, Braided Linen Trim, and Stampin' Dimensionals

In today's Minute to Make It video, I'm showing you how to create this card made with the Jar of Flowers set.

 

The Jar of Flowers set is one of the stamp sets that was new in this year's annual catalog.  It has several different floral images, but, being that we are in September, I thought that the sunflowers would be appropriate for this card.  Did you know that the jar stamp in this set is reversible?  You can stamp the solid part of the jar first and then you flip the stamp over and you can stamp the outline.  Pretty cool!  I also really like how this set paired with the paper from the Plaid Tidings package.  This would be a great card to send to somebody...just because.

You can order supplies by going to my website or by clicking the online ordering button above.  When you place an order in the month of September using the hostess code ABBBP7MP, I will send you my Autumn Goodness Tutorial, which gives you the instructions to make six cards using the Autumn Goodness Bundle as a thank you.  If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards yourself.  I will send you the tutorial automatically.
