These Tractor Cards Are PERFECT For Fall!

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!

Hello Harvest–Pumpkins and Flowers!

Well, it’s officially fall! Here in Central Florida, that means…it’s still really hot! Nice to have some beautiful autumn stamps and dies to get me in the autumn spirit. Enter…Hello Harvest! This is a beautiful suite with pumpkins, flowers, and gorgeous designer series paper.

In addition to making cards, I am an AFOL–Adult Fan Of Lego. I just knew this Lego set would be the perfect background for my fall cards! This card contains the following elements:

  • Cajun Craze card base
  • 5-1/4 x 4 inch Crushed Curry
  • 5-1/8 x 3-7/8 inch designer paper from Rustic Harvest DSP

The leaves are stamped in Crushed Curry, and the short pumpkin is colored with Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The tall pumpkin is die cut from Crushed Curry and Mellow Moss cardstocks. I added two jewels from the Leaf Label and Amber Gem Combo Pack and adhered the sentiment with dimensionals.

The Rustic Harvest Suite is on pages 48-50 of the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

This card features the same suite. The flowers are colored with Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Cherry Cobbler. (The inside of the flowers is done with brown Copics.) You can’t see the shimmer in the photo, but the yellow flowers have Clear Wink of Stella brushed on them. They are so pretty!

Happy Fall Y’all!
