This new Online Exclusive bundle is just perfect for fall! The pumpkin is made with two-step stamp that create a 3-D look.
It is perfect for this fun fold card that fits nicely in an A2 (5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches) envelope.

I have been playing with the Gather Together Suite that I received in my demonstrator preorder. (This is one of my FAVORITE perks of being a demonstrator!) On this card, the embossing folder, shiny dots, twine, sentiment, and DSP are all from the suite. The DSP is definitely the star of the show! The picture does not do it justice. The colors are Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Cajun Craze, and the are accented with gold foil. Exquisite!
The other papers are also incredibly beautiful, but I must admit, my favorite is the one I used in the card above. The only drawback to this DSP is that it is double-sided, so you have to choose which side to use! Here are my other favorites.
How cute is this bundle?!?! It was so much fun to make these cards.
This card features a tractor, trailer, and tires that are stamped and then die cut. I used Blueberry Bushel, Pecan Pie, and Memento Black to stamp them. While the card below has those made out of die cuts. I used the same colors of card stock as the ink to do the die cuts.
Sometimes, it is hard to get a thorough stamp in one pass with stamps as large as the tractor and trailer. I often use a stamp positioner so I can ink the stamp again and do another press. But I did NOT have to do that with these! Everything on these cards was stamped ONE time. Great performance from these stamps!
I stamped the corn in Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. The pumpkins were stamped in (of course!) Pumpkin Pie. On the first card, I used Crushed Curry to stamp the hay and Real Red for the chickens.
The backgrounds of both cards were done with small blending brushes, using Balmy Blue for the sky and Granny Apple Green for the ground. I made my own stencil to create the cloud look at the top. You can see how I did it in this video!
Oh my goodness! I just love this adorable jar full of gingerbread cookies.
I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder and DSP from the new Traditions of Christmas Suite that will be available to everyone in September. The main colors are Old Olive and Real Red. I think the red and white twine and peppermint embellishments go so well with this card.
The jar of cookies is from the Jar of Joy stamp set. It is stamped in black, Pecan Pie, and Real Red. The coordinating jar punch is available separately OR as a bundle with the Sweet Jar stamp set.
The Sweet Jar bundle is great for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, St. Patrick’s Day, and general friendship cards. I plan to put these two sets to good use!
I love stamp sets that allow for endless creativity to create pretty scenes. You can make a beautiful fall scene on a full card front, or, as I did here, a small scene on a banner.
To stamp the fence behind the pumpkins and the dirt below them, I used the masking technique. I demonstrate it here in a video.
True confession! I did not order this bundle when it became available. But then I started seeing such gorgeous cards on Pinterest using this set, so, I had to have it! I am SO GLAD I bought it because it is so versatile.
Here is a card that is good for men or anyone who loves mountains and forests.
Or you can make a more feminine floral card like this one.
Plus, having the ability to cut out the center lets you layer the trees, flowers, or leaves in such a pretty way. It is a great set!
Okay, so early August is a bit early for leaves to show off their fall colors, but we can make it happen with stamps, ink, and paper! Plus an amazing hybrid embossing folder. Check out the embossing on these cards.
The background for both cards was made using Basic Beige cardstock in the embossing folder without the die placed inside. The Cajun Craze embossed leaf on the first card is made in the embossing folder WITH the die placed inside. For the first card, I used ink and blending brushes to apply the color. For the second card, I used a splattering technique with water painters and ink. I just LOVE the colors of fall!!
