Hello stamping friends! How about a great fall card using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle set today? Fall is my favorite time of year – you can’t beat the awesome colors and the temperature is perfect here in Pennsylvania.
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Begin with a Very Vanilla card stock base. Cut at 5-1/2″ x 8″; score at 4-1/4″.
Stamp a few leaves and acorns in Early Espresso ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Color in the leaves and acorns using Stampin’ Blends (Mint Macaron-L; Cajun Craze-D; and Crumb Cake-L&D) and punch them out using the Autumn Punch Pack. Set aside.
To assemble the card, adhere the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP measuring 2″ x 5-1/2″ to the Early Espresso piece of card stock measuring 2-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Once these two pieces are adhered together, wrap a piece of Copper Metallic ribbon around the layers and tie in a bow.
Once this is complete, attach to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment “Life is Better with You” on the card front and attach the leaves and acorns using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
See the below product list for the supplies used to make this card. Click HERE for my online shop.

Hello stampers! In the event you didn’t get enough of the Birds and Branches stamp set, here’s another idea! I used the Forever Fern Designer Series Paper and Soft Seafoam cardstock for this card. I love how mama bird is watching over her babies in the little blue eggs.

Hello July! Oh, how I love these colors together! Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy. This is my 2020 calendar July page. This was made with the Tropical Chic stamp set (which is now retired).
However, if you need a tropical replacement, the Timeless Tropical stamp set is a good pick! Check it out — it’s on page 36 of the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
Hello stamping friends! Today I want to share one of the stamp sets from the new annual catalog called Birds and Branches! I have a lot of favorites in this catalog and this is one of them.
You can purchase this stamp set and dies as a bundle. It’s always best to purchase the bundle so you can save 10%. Who doesn’t like to save a little moolah, right?
For this card I used the Forever Fern Designer Series Paper, along with Pear Pizzazz and Pretty Peacock card stock.
Hope you enjoyed today’s card and if you’d like to purchase any of the products that I used you can do so by clicking here to shop online.
Hello stampers! Boy cards…do you find them difficult? Today I’m sharing the card I gave my hubby for Father’s Day using the Beautiful World stamp set. I highly suggest you add this stamp set to your collection. It is great for masculine cards!
I used the World of Good Specialty DSP for the strips and the idea for the strips came from fellow demonstrator Erica Cerwin. Other colors used are Misty Moonlight (one of the new In-Colors) and Crumb Cake. I love how this turned out.
If you would like to order any of the supplies that I used for this card and if you do not have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator that you regularly shop with, I would appreciate having you as a customer! Click here to shop online.
Hello there! The new 2020-2021 Annual catalog, Stampin’ Up! Is introducing new adhesives! Did you know there are five new adhesives in the new catalog? Today I am going to talk To you about two of the new ones. The SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesives. In case you’re wondering, SEAL is an acronym for “Simple Easy Adhesive Laydown”! Take a look at the video above for a quick overview.
The Stampin’ SEAL is an everyday adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, like SNAIL. Stampin’ SEAL was designed to have improved strength over SNAIL.
The Stampin’ SEAL+ is a super-strength adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, similar to Fast Fuse. It is perfect for heavier layers or small 3D items. Stampin’ SEAL+ is perforated for easy separation after lay down.
Here are some good to know tidbits about the new SEALS: They come in an exclusive case; that’s interchangeable; Includes 16.4 yards vs. 13.1 yards with the prior adhesives; No “checkmark” hand movement required for release of adhesive; Re-sealable pouch packaging for storage and protection; and The cartridges are refillable.
The new adhesives are a great addition to the Stampin’ Up! family to products. They roll on very smoothly and only require a light touch.
If you would like to order some adhesives to try them out, I’d love to have you order from me! You can go to my online shop here.
