Harvest Happiness: I Love You More Than Pie! by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  

Here I am with my last card as a design team member for Sunny Studio Stamps. I had a great time. Mendi is such a sweet person and I am so thankful for this opportunity, but it is time to move on for me.

For this card I used the super cute set Harvest Happiness!

I stamped the image in Memento ink and colored it with colored pencils (Polychromos and Prismacolor). For a little extra touch I added some highlights with a gel pen. After that I fussy cut the image (there are also coordinating dies available).

I chose some matching patterned paper from my stash and cut it into a rectangle. I die cut a circle as a window and a frame from matching cardstock.  As my card base I decided to go with some kraft paper because I think it's great for fall cards.

I drew a circle with a pencil and a light hand on my card base where my circle window would be. That made it easier for me to stamp the sentiment with Versamark and emboss it in white (I love white on kraft, don't you?).

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.

Holiday Release Update & Sneak Peek

Hello there friends!  I'm sad to say I've made the decision to push back our inspiration week and holiday release by one week due to receiving a late shipment of some of the new products.  I'm super bummed, but in the end I decided I would feel better having everything in hand before kicking the week off.  ;) 

However I promised you some peeks this week so I've put together a little collage of some of the projects I've been working on that I will now be sharing starting next Monday with a release date of October 7th.  

I hope you will join us for all the fun & festivities.  In the meantime, the team is sharing some amazing ideas for fall using our Harvest Happiness set this week.  Please scroll down to see Eloise's gorgeous card for the day.  :)

Big Hugs!

Harvest Happiness Layered Pumpkins Card with Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here and I'm back with a card featuring the Harvest Happiness set. I knew when I got this set I knew I wanted to stack the pumpkins up so that's what I'm doing for the card today.

To begin my card today I needed to make a ton of masks. So I took some masking paper and stamped down 4 of each pumpkin and a few leaves from the Harvest Happiness set I fussy cut them out to the line and then I could start stamping. I used some Versafine Onyx black ink to stamp down my leaves first, using the masks in between as needed. Once I had the layer of those at the bottom of the cardstock, I could stamp out my pumpkins - doing the same thing as I did for the leaves. Once I had finished stamping I used clear embossing powder so when I watercolour it can be faster and easier.

For the watercolouring today I'm using the Kuretake Gansai Watercolours. I used autumn-y colours and I also coloured the background too, to make it look complete.

To finish up my card I used a stitched rectangle die to die cut the panel down and to flatten it out, I then stamped down the 'autumn blessings' sentiment with some black ink also. I then popped it up on fun foam and mounted it onto a green card base and that finished up my card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and make sure you check by the blog this week to see more inspiration using this stamp set.

Autumn Splendor Grateful For You Card By Lexa

Hello crafty friends! 

It's Lexa here, today I'm going to share a card featuring Autumn Splendor stamp and coordinating dies. This set is so pretty with all the leaves, berries, and acorns which are perfect for all your fall projects. I love fall colors!

I start my card with a piece of 4.25" x 5.5" watercolor paper, stamping all the leaves with Distress Inks (Candied Apple, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo) and then I applied some water to all of them. As a last touch, I splattered the same ink colors, which I think looks really cool. :)

After I finished my background, I layer a piece of vellum in 4" x 5.25" to soften the tone. The trick I learned for this stamp set is I prefer to die cut first and then stamp all the images. I think it's easier that way, as I did with the berries and leaves. I use the cute owl from Harvest Happiness to stand on the wood log from Woodsy Creatures as the main piece of my card.

I stamped them with Versafine black ink and watercolored them with Distress Markers. After I finished all my elements, I arranged them all together and they look so pretty. Mixing your stamp sets always can give you a fresh look, and yes I know when it's easier to match all the pieces that come from the same set, but it's worth a try. I heat-embossed the sentiment with copper embossing powder to match all the color tones together.

I hope you like my card for today, thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
