At Home with You stamp set from Stampin' Up!

  • Get ready for Fall with At Home with You

At Home with You 


The At Home with You set has sooooo many elements that you'll find yourself reaching for this set for many occasions.  I used the elements to make two similar versions of the card.  One says Congrats with a sentiment inside "on your new home".  This would be a friendly card for a new neighbor.  The other is "Hello" and the sentiment on the inside of the card reads "so glad you're here.  Wouldn't this be a great card for the pillow of your guest bedroom to welcome overnight guests to your home?  

  



The two lanterns on each side of the door were stamped in Fresh Fig and cut out of So Saffron.  In order to create the white interior, I use a white watercolor pencil to lighten the So Saffron background.   





The basecard is Very Vanilla and the card has a center opening.  The door is attached to the top layer but loose on the bottom.  I added a small Velcro tab to hold the card together.  Another idea is to use very small, light weight magnets.   On top of the Very Vanilla basecard are layers of So Saffron and Sahara Sand.  The Sahara Sand layers are dry embossed with the Pinewood Planks thick embossing folder to create a wood siding effect.  The door is stamped on So Saffron with Fresh Fig ink.  The So Saffron was first stamped with the Hardwood background stamp in So Saffron.  Then the door was cut out using the At Home Framelit Dies.  





On the inside of the card, the door was stamped again with the sentiment.  





I selected the Daisies and Pumpkins image on the card front to use the card as we move into Fall.,  This set has several different elements such as flowers or shrubs or pine boughs for the top of the door that make this set usable at different seasons or for different reasons.

Colorful Season Leaves from Stampoin' Up!

  • Get ready for fall with Seasonal Layers

Seasonal Layers stamp Set 


The Color Theory Suite was one of the first stamp sets, papers and die sets I ordered from the June annual catalog.  I love that this set covers all the seasons, making this a very usable set.  I'm particularly partial to monochromatic colors so the range of colors in the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack makes my eyes happy.  

Today I'm using the leaves to prepare for Fall along with the greens in the Color Theory Design Series Paper.  I paired it with both Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz; two of my favorite shades of green in the Stampin' Up! color family.  

DIe used to create the detailed leaves are from the Seasonal Layers Thinlit DIes from Stampin' Up!


The basecard is Old Olive and it is dry embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.  Then a layer of Whisper White, and the image block is Pear Pizzaz.  The two detailed leaves are cut using the Seasonal Layered Thinlits Dies from Old Olive.

I cut a 2" strip of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack looks like a paint chip and ran it across the center of the card.  The Colorful Seasons stamp set was used to stamp the Old Olive flowers on the Pear Pizzazz layer.  It was also used to stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink.

Three Glitter Enamel Dots were strategically placed to enhance this card.  (I love Glitter Dots!)   

Well, I'm pretty frustrated,  My Stampin' Up! pre-order from the new Holiday catalog has been in "picking" in the Stampin' Up! warehouse now for a two full days. Yes.,  I admit, I did order a lot from the new Holiday catalog.   I guess there must be a lot of fellow demonstrators who placed orders as well, when the ordering lines opened on August 1.  I'll just have to play with some of the wonderful stamps I already have while I patiently wait for my new catalog order.  

I you're one of my customers, keep your eyes on your mail box after the 15th of the month for your copy of the new Holiday catalog.  With back-to-school and Halloween close behind, you're going to be really excited by what's in the new catalog.
