Country Home Stamped Card colored with Blends Markers

  • Stampin' Up! Country Home stamp set
  • Fall colors, Fall Card with plenty of texture
  • Fall Card Class September 23

Stampin' Up! Country Home Stamp Set


I'm so loving the colors on this card.  It uses the Stampin' Up! Country Home Stamp set with Cherry Cobbler accents.  Paired with the Smoky Slate and new Galvanized Metallic Paper dry embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder, its so warm and Fall-like.  This is one of the cards we'll make this week-end in the Fun Fall card class listed below.      
  


Fall card with beautiful textures and colors


 
  

This simple card doesn't have any fussy cutting and doesn't have any die cuts.  Two embossing folders were used.  The Galvanized Foil Sheet was embossed with the Tin Tile embossing folder and the Cherry Cobbler Tag was embossed with the Subtle folder.  The Subtle folder adds a texture to your cardstock that reminds me of the Textured cardstock that we used to carry.  What's nice is the Subtle embossing folder allows you to turn any of your cardstock colors into beautiful Textured cardstock without having to purchase Textured cardstock in every color. Its a great investment!   

         



   

The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, and then colored with Blends Markers.  I used Smoky Slate, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Halloween Kit

If you're waiting for your September Paper Pumpkin Kit to arrive, you can get a sneak peek at the kit in my post today,  I've been anxiously waiting for this kit to arrive ever since it was announced as a special kit last month.  And it certainly didn't disappoint!    
      
  




This kit creates 24 treat packages for Halloween, and with all items precut and scored, they are simple to put together.  I'm sooo ready for Halloween!! 




The kit includes three different cello bag designs, a stamp set, ink spot and die cuts ,and a roll of black and silver Bakers Twine to create bows on your treat bag toppers.   

  

         


   

The die cuts include Pumpkins, Bats and Ghosts. The pumpkin includes a backing of silver foil.  The tags are die cut and creased with colored edges in white, purple and orange.  The bags include a flat bottom piece to help your treats sit flat.




Here's what each of the finished bags look like when filled with Halloween treats.  


24 Treat Packages with the Paper Pumpkin Halloween set


Here's a close up of the unique stamp set included with this month's kit.  It includes so many cute sentiments and images that you'll be able to use for much more than your treat bags.  Use it on gift tags, cards and other teat packaging this Halloween.  The Basic Gray stampin' Spot is a perfect color to use with this kit.  





If you purchased the September kit, here's the Stampin' Up!unboxing video.  If the video doesn't show up in your email client, here's a link to the unboxing video.





To learn more about Paper Pumpkin kits, here's a short video.  Be ready for a little bit of MAGIC!  If the video doesn't show up, use this link to view.




Paper Pumpkin is an incredible value!  In addition to sending you an exclusive stamp set and ink spot, everything you need to make awesome projects, including written instructions and an on-line video for assembling your kit, is included.  Just add glue and scissors.  One month it might be cards and matching envelopes, the following month a home decor project, or a gift packaging kit.  Its a different surprise each month.

Its flexible.  You can order a subscription for one month, 6 months, or 12 months, and you can suspend for a month at anytime.  Its perfect if you love to craft, but don't have a lot of supplies or a room for crafting.

Since all the prep work is done, the projects take a shorter time to complete, making it the perfect on-the-go-craft.  Take to you child's game or assemble your kit while sitting in your doctor's waiting room.
