Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Thanksgiving Card

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has enjoyed a great and productive week!

Tomorrow is our day…Woo hoo! Saturday, October 1 is World Card Making Day. You’ll want to check out the information below, so you don’t miss out on any of the fun! It’s going to be GREAT! Imagine an entire day of crafting!

Today’s Thanksgiving card is all about the beautiful Rustic Harvest 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper! It’s gorgeous!

I started off with a card base in Basic Black cardstock. I adhered a piece of the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper in the pumpkin print to a Crushed Curry cardstock mat then adhered this unit to the card front. I cut a piece of the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper from the Crushed Curry print to 4-3/4″ x 2″, then cut a “V” on one end to form a banner. This DSP banner was then adhered to the top of the card front, lining up with the pumpkin print paper.

Using the Painted Pheasant Stamp Set, I stamped the sentiment “Happy Thanksgiving” to a Basic White sentiment label in Crushed Curry, then adhered the sentiment label to a Basic Black mat. The sentiment label was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and centered on the card front.

I used the grass stamp from the Painted Pheasant Stamp Set to stamp the grass several times onto a white inside panel. This panel was matted to a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock then adhered to the inside of the card. I chose not to stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card. A sentiment can always be added later.

The same grass image from the Painted Pheasant Stamp Set was stamped onto the lower corner of the envelope front and I added a piece of the pumpkin print Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap – fussy cutting around the flap to finish off the envelope.

To finish off the card front I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered the bow to the top center of the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot. Two amber gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gem Combo Pack were added to either side of the sentiment label.

This card came together so quickly, and the beautiful designer series paper makes for a lovely and simple Thanksgiving card that anyone would love to receive! Change up the sentiment on the front of the card and this would also make a perfect Fall birthday card, get well card or thinking of your card for either male or female!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Flip Flap Friendship Card

Today’s card uses the Hello Harvest Stamp Set, Rustic Pumpkin Dies, Gingham Cottage 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Rustic Harvest 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Flip Flap cards consist of two card bases combined to make one card with multiple flaps.

I started by cutting the two card bases using Early Espresso cardstock. Essentially, the card consists of a standard size card base and a smaller card base. You can find detailed instructions, including measurements, in the linked pdf project sheet below.

I used a Mossy Meadow print from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper pack and the Pumpkin Pie print from the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper pack to decorate the panels on both the insides and outsides of the card bases. I die cut the two embossed pumpkins from the Rustic Pumpkin Dies set in Very Vanilla cardstock along with two pumpkin stems and two pumpkin vines using Mossy Meadow cardstock. A blending brush was used to lightly blend Early Espresso ink over the die cut pumpkins, focusing on the embossed areas. I then adhered the pumpkin stems and pumpkin vines to the two pumpkins.

On the larger Gingham Cottage DSP panel, a sentiment was stamped directly onto the lower right corner of the panel in Early Espresso ink. I then second-generation stamped the leaf from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set over the sentiment – also in Early Espresso ink. On the lower left corner of this panel, I stamped the two leaves again in Early Espresso. The larger of the die cut pumpkins will be placed over these stamped leaves later on.

A Very Vanilla panel was used for the inside sentiment and the lower corner of this panel was decorated with the leaf image. All of the DSP panels were adhered to the card bases. Opening the larger card base, I adhered the small card base to the larger card base so that the spine of the smaller base was on the left (rather than the standard right position). The attached smaller card base was opened, and I attached the inside sentiment panel to the base. To form the flip flap, I first closed the left panel (of the large card base), then closed the right panel of the small card base.

The card front was decorated with the larger die cut pumpkin and was placed over the two stamped leaves on this panel. Opening the card flaps again, the tall, skinny pumpkin was adhered to the flap on the left then a contrasting DSP leaf was adhered to the front of the pumpkin. The remaining die cut DSP leaves were adhered to the right flap.

The leaf from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set was used to decorate the front of the envelope, and a piece of coordinating DSP was adhered to the envelope flap. I fussy cut around the flap to finish off the envelope.

I love fun folds and I think the flip flap fun fold is perfect for showing off beautiful DSP and die cuts! And it’s fun to say, “flip flap”!

Stampin’ Up! Penguin Place Holiday Card

This handsome Penguin is delivering gifts, candy and a whole lot of Christmas cheer! How cute is this little guy?

I used the Penguin Place Stamp Set, Penguin Builder Punch and the Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set to create this card along with the Lights Aglow 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper and Red & White Glimmer Paper. All of these items can be found in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

The card base is in Evening Evergreen and a piece of the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to the card front. The Penguin was stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, the beak and feet were stamped in Mango Melody ink, and the bow tie was stamped in Real Red ink. I then used the Penguin Builder Punch to punch out the penguin.

The gift stamp from the Penguin Place Stamp Set was used and I stamped this image three times in three different color inks – Evening Evergreen, Real Red and Soft Succulent. The Santa hat and candy canes were also stamped onto white cardstock. The Santa hat was first stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and the center of the hat was colored in using a Real Red Stampin’ Blend marker. The candy canes were stamped in Real Red ink. All of these stamped pieces were then fussy cut.

A piece of white glimmer paper was used for the snowy hill. I started with a piece of glimmer paper measuring 4-1/8″ wide by approximately 2″ tall. I then used my paper snips to hand cut the hill. You could use a die to die cut the hill, but it was just as easy to hand cut. Just remember to keep the curves in your hill smooth when cutting. The snowy hill was then adhered to the card front using glue. Glue was only applied towards the bottom of the hill. I lined up the bottom of the hill with the bottom of the DSP panel on the card front.

I adhered the Santa hat to the top of the Penguin’s head and the Penguin was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I placed the Penguin on the top center of the snowy hill. The candy canes were tucked slightly under the snowy hill and to the left of the Penguin at slight angles. The gifts were adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and stacked one on top of the other, again at slight angles to each other.

The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock and adhered to a piece of coordinating DSP. The sentiment label was attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small bow was tied using Real Red ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered to the left of the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot.

The pine tree stamp from the Penguin Place Stamp Set was stamped onto the inside panel in Evening Evergreen ink along with an additional sentiment. This panel was then adhered to the inside of the card. The same pine tree was stamped onto the envelope front. A piece of coordinating DSP was adhered to the envelope flap and fussy cut.

To finish off the card multiple Rhinestone Basic Jewels were applied to the card front.

I love happy cards and this card is definitely happy! Young or old, this card is sure to bring a smile to the recipients’ face!
