The perfect way to stay connected in style is with a sweet floral card to let someone know you're thinking of them.  Today, I created a card using the Wonderful World Stamp Set and the coordinating Wonderful World Designer Series Paper.  These two items are a Free Sale-A-Bration selection with a $100 order (less tax and shipping) during the July-August 2022 Sale-A-Bration event.  I selected one of the floral patterned paper from the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper Pack, and paired it with Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia.  The rose image is from the Wonderful World Stamp Set, and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz.  The bow is made with Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon, And the bling included is from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.  You'll love creating special cards for those who are special in your life.

Today's card uses a basecard of Fresh Freesia Cardstock.  Then a piece of Blackberry Bliss, and then a print from the Wonderful World 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper Pack.    

Floral Thinking of You Greeting Cards using Stampin' Up! Wonderful world



For my image layer, I die cut a stitched circle using the Stylish Shape Dies.  Then I selected the rose image from the Wonderful World Stamp Set, which includes the same images included in the Designer Series Paper.  To stamp the image in Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz, I use the new Stampin' Up! Masking Paper to separate the rose blossom from the stem.  I inked the rose blossom in Flirty Flamingo and then removed the Masking Paper from the stem and inked the Stem in Pear Pizzaz, and then stamped the rose image on the left side of the Basic White Circle.


Thinking of You Greeting Card using Stampin' Up! Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper



I selected a sentiment from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set, and stamped it in Pear Pizzazz ink on the Basic White image circle.  I included a bow created from the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon, and added a couple of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.  This card takes only a few steps to create, yet someone receiving it will feel extra special.

A Happy Harvest Greeting card using the Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Bundle + A Paper Pumpkin Quiz

            

  • Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Stamp Set & Rustic Pumpkin Dies
  • Chic Dies for Unexpected Artistic Flair
  • Sea If You Know July Paper Pumpkin Quiz for FREE August Paper Pumpkin!

Today's card was pulled together with new items you're sure to love for creating Fall cards.  I pull a piece of Soft Succulent Designer Series Paper to use with the new Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Bundle from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up!  This card layout seemed to make itself, as I die cut a couple of pumpkins using the Stampin' Up! Rustic Pumpkin Dies, including the stem sprigs on the pumpkin stems and the sentiment ribbon.  To add a bit of unexpected artistic flair, I used one of the elements in the Chic Dies and Vellum Cardstock to create a background for my pumpkins.  I used Blends alcohol-based Markers to color my pumpkins and also to color my sentiment banner.  I think the shading from the Blends Markers gave the banner a more realistic look.  I can't wait to use this set more.  Fall colors just make my eyes happy, and the Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Bundle will be one of my favorites this fall.  



Fall Harvest card with pumpkins created usign Hello Harvest Stamp Set and Rustic Pumpkin Dies from Stampin' Up!


Today's card uses a basecard of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a print from the 2021-2023 6" X 6" Designer In Color Paper Pack was added.  My next layer was die cut using one of the dies in the Chic Die set.  I die cut a piece of Vellum Cardstock with this die, which allowed the pattern from the Designer Series Paper to show through, yet the die cut vellum added an interesting texture to the card.    

Fall greeting card with two colored pumpkins using Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Bundle


I stamped two pumpkins and the sentiment label in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White Cardstock.  Next, I die cut them using the Rustic Pumpkin Dies, and then I colored the die cut images with Blends Markers. I used Pumpkin Pie Markers and Soft Suede Blends Markers on one Pumpkin and Soft Succulent and Soft Suede Blends Markers on the other Pumpkin.  I mounted them on the Velum die cut.  I also colored the sentiment banner with Soft Succulent Blends Marker, leaving the sentiment area lighter, and shading the edges of the ribbon darker  I mounted the sentiment banner on Dimensionals before mounting at the top of my card.  I used additional dies form the Rustic Pumpkin Dies to die cut greenery pieces around the stems of each pumpkin. This is a fast, simple layout to create if you are short of time, but want a card with a bit of flair.
