Stampin' Up! Rustic Harvest Fun Fold

It's another fun fold Friday for my stamping friends. This one came along quite by accident. I had cut my base incorrectly so I had to improvise. I can't give you measurements because I was flying by the seat of my pants and kept making mistakes! Here goes...

 What I can tell you is what I used to make this "M"istake fold! Here's a look at the "M"...

Stampin' Up! Gather Together Birthday

 Happy Throwback Thursday, peeps. I made this card today...

 

and this one 2 years ago...

 

I think I like today's better so I'm entering it in the Double Trouble Challenge #202 3-2-1 Shades of Fall. Here's a little bit about that challenge...

 

 and more specifically...

Shades of Fall

Servings -  Unlimited portions of fun.

Ingredients

AT LEAST

3 Colors in shades of fall

I have chosen Cajun Craze, Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive along with dabs of Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie for my colors.

2 Images

The two images are the pumpkins and leaves, along with the splatters on the side AND the sentiment.

1 Stenciled or dry-embossed element

I embossed the pattern with a retired SU EF and used the debossed side.

For the optional twist, Twisted Sister Thing 3 has asked to include any seasonal fruit or vegetable in the design. I know she loves pumpkins so that was my choice. I had gourd patterned paper someplace but unfortunately, I was out of my gourd (slang from the 60's for you youngsters meaning delusional). In reality, I have no idea where that paper is and I'm not about to go looking for it in the 3' high stack of patterned paper!

As for Thing 2 Double Dare's optional dare, she has offered up the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #681. I took liberties with the sketch ... 

BUT, I also used her other offering... to play along at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge #112. This challenge requires pumpkins and or leaves. I might be an over achiever on the Double Trouble Challenge!

Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Thank You Card

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Giving Thanks" and we can  use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it ...

  

 Let's take a closer look...

My card base is Cajun Craze card stock with a mat of  Very Vanilla. The foliage die cut is from the Amber Autumn Dies. I used the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper.

I used Early Espresso card stock and the Everyday Arches Dies for the flap. The acorns and sentiment are from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set. I colored the leaves with Light & Dark Cajun Craze and Timid Tiger Blends. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink.

Flip up the flap (say that 10 times fast!) and you see this...

Again, I used the Amber Autumn Stamp Set for the sentiment. You must all recognize the retired oak tree from the Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set. There is one similar in the current Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso and the tree in Basic Beige.

On to the last flip...

I stamped the sentiment from Amber in Early Espresso and the acorn leaves in Basic Beige from the Lovely as a Tree. The paper is some I had from Office Max. score

Measurements:

Card Base:5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

Very Vanilla: 5 1/4" x 4"

Foil: 5" x 3 3/4"

Flap: 3" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"; 3rd largest die with straight edge laid just above fold

Sentiment arch:  4th largest die

Stampin' Up! Peek A Boo Farm meets Darling Donkey

Happy and blessed Sunday to you, my stamping friends. Today is Pastor Appreciation Sunday as well as Pastor Appreciation month. My pastor preached a sermon last month entitled "Get Up Off Your Blessed Assurance." He also has a habit of saying something during his sermons heard on Match Game with Gene Rayburn. You'll see what I mean when you see my card. Here ya go...

 

Oh, my gosh, I'm laughing my donkey off...lol! I hope this is not irreverent but I do have a quirky sense of humor and so does the pastor!!

Thank you for taking a look at my monochromatic card. He does love yellow roses too!

Stampin' Up! Painted Seasons Birthday Card

Hey stamping friends, how's your weekend going? Mine will be swell if Syracuse Orange Football Team plays well today. My TN Volunteers are off today so I'm not being disloyal...lol!

Although my sentiments do not say anything about a birthday, it will be handwritten to a woman who is celebrating a birthday this coming week AND has gone through hip surgery at 87! This is her second one this year. Take a look see...(the card, not the surgery!)

I was inspired by LeAnne Pugliese when she used this DSP for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge and I'm following suit to enter it in challenge #706.

 

for the inside... 

Thank you for stopping by today and have a great weekend.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Leaves Birthday Card

Good morning, or whatever time it is in your neck of the woods. I am sad to say my hummingbirds have left but then that's a sure sign of fall. I'm not sure whether I should bring my feeders in or leave a couple out for migrating stragglers. What say you?

I think today's card is mostly fallish in color. The woman it is for LOVES orange from her hair to her clothes!! Take a look see... 

 

I'm entering my card at Crafty Gals Corner, their challenge #270 is fill in the blank "Fall .....".  I'm also playing at Pammie's Inky Pinkies 2539 Halloween/Fall.

 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge.
