Pretty Pumpkins & Autumn Greetings Gratitude Card with Nancy

Hi everyone, it's Nancy here. Welcome to Fall! I can't believe it's time for pumpkin spice everything and the season of gratitude. It's one of my favorite times of the year to create homemade goodness. Let's start by combining beautifully layered Pretty Pumpkins and warm Autumn Greetings from these seasonal stamp sets.

To create my card, I used Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade to create a soft, ink blended background. Next, the pumpkin was stamped several times with pigment ink in several shades of orange, and die cut with the coordinating dies. The stem and leaves were stamped in a bright grass green for contrast. Last, the sentiment was centered and stamped with Versafine Ink in Black Onyx. A glitter enamel dot in the center of the leaf completes this simple, warm design. The bold plaid patterned paper used to frame the cards adds an easy punch of color and highlight both the theme and the creamy orange pumpkin in the center of it all!

Take a look at the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set for all of your warm Thanksgiving wishes. The layered stamps are fun and easy to use, plus they create the most beautifully shaded pumpkins. The Autumn Greetings stamp set is the perfect complement for this pumpkin patch!

Cute As A Button Rainbow Stitched Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card using the new Cute As A Button stamp set along with the Sew Word die and I'll also be doing some hand stitching also to give some more texture to my card.

To begin my card today I went ahead and used a die from Mama Elephant to create the stitching detail and little holes in my background. This die comes together with all three designs - I didn't want to cut it apart and that's why I used all three together, but to just get the holes so you can stitch, if you don't have a die - just use a ruler and a pokey tool and just measure and poke at 1/4" and you'll get what you need. Once I ran this through my die cutting machine a few times at an angle, I could stitch it. I used seven colours of thread and back stitched through each line with a new colour. Once I stitched the background I moved onto my sentiment. 

Originally I wanted to stitch through the sentiment, to make it look like it was stitched, but the die was too thin to do so. So I die cut the 'Sew' word, using the Sew Word die, from black felt and adhered a piece of string behind it so then that could fit in a little better. I also white heat embossed a 'sweet' sentiment from the Baby Bear stamp set onto a strip of black cardstock to complete my sentiment. 

For the needle I used a dark and light grey ink and stamped the layers over top of each other. I love this needle and the buttons from the Cute As A Button stamp set - it's super fun and cute to have the layered look. Once I die cut the needle using the coordinating die set, I poked a hole through the top of it and used a needle to thread through the black string, to make it look like it stitched the 'sew' word. I adhered everything down to my background and then added foam tape behind the background and onto a green card base and that completed my card. 

I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to add some hand stitching onto your cards. Thanks for stopping by and I'll catch you next week!

Missing Ewe Pastel Sheep Trio Thankful Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a pastel color card featuring the Missing Ewe stamps and their coordinating dies. These adorable fluffy sheep are new additions to Sunny Studio critter stamps.

I rarely use my patterned papers now days, but as you can guess, I've been hoarding a lot of it. So that's why today I tried to use them as much as possible. The sweet pastel colors are always a smart choice. I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with coloring, I die cut them at once with the coordinating dies (truly a time saver!). 

I simply put them together to create a little scene. I created a green grass border using Stitched Scallop Dies on green striped patterned paper against the starry pink sky. These cute little sheep have their "pals" from another set, Easter Wishes. I used all three together in one scene. I finished my card with some yellow dots using yellow opaque Nuvo drops. 

Thank you so much for visitting today, I hope you like my card! Have a wonderful day to you and yours.
