OSAT PUMPKINS, PIES, & FRIGHTS BLOG HOP SEPTEMBER 2024 WITH MORE THAN AUTUMN BUNDLE

 

Hello and welcome to the September 2024 One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop!  This month is all about Pumpkins, Pies & Frights!  I'm not a huge fan of Frights but I'm all about Pumpkins and Pies! 

Actually, this month's hop will probably be my favorite hop of the year because I LOVE all things Coffee and Especially Pumpkin Spice!  When I saw the new More Than Autumn Bundle in the new Mini Catalog I was sooooo excited!  

I'm sharing three different card ideas with the More Than Autumn Bundle with a surprising selection of DSP!  I used the Full of Life DSP utilizing the watercolor wash "B" side of the paper and I love how they turned out!

My first card was a Pumpkin Pie card base with Mossy Meadow matt with the beautiful Full of Life DSP.  I used Ivory, Crumb Cake, and Pumpkin Pie Blends.  The pie and doughnut were colored in with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Peach Pie blends!

My second card is a Basic White Thick Card base with a matt layer of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and more of that Full of Life DSP.  Coffee Cup was colored using Ivory, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, and Pumpkin Pie blends.  The doughnut and pie were colored with Crumb Cake, Light Pecan Pie, Peach Pie and Pumpkin Pie blends.

And last but not least may be my favorite..

For my last card I matched the diagonal flow that was in the Full of Life DSP with a diagonal shelf of all things Pumpkin!  I colored the donut and pie as I had with the previous two cards but I added some Mossy Meadow Blends coloring in my coffee cup this time for a different look.  I added a thin strip of Mossy Meadow Cardstock for my Pumpkin things to sit on and added some Linen thread over the strip for a little added interest!

I hope that I've inspired you a little with this amazing bundle!  I'm pretty sure this one is going to be a favorite of mine for a LONG time!  

Have a blessed day and enjoy all of the inspiration along the hop!  Just click the name directly below mine on the Blog Roll to continue on!    Blessings, Tina

OSAT Find a Sketch Blog Hop with Stampin' Up! Season of Green and Gold Suite

 

Hello!  Hope you are having a fabulous week so far!  I'm been M.I.A. for a while but I'm turning over a new leaf and back with a fun blog hop today featuring the card sketches in Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalog!  If you are starting the hop at my blog, please make sure to continue on for so much fabulous inspiration!  I love using sketches to jumpstart my creativity and hopefully you do as well!  Below is a clip of 8 of the card sketches featured.  I chose to use the 3rd sketch in the top row for my card today!

The Suite of Products used is from Stampin' Up!'s online exclusives and is called the Season of Green and Gold!  The suite contains two bundles, The Golden Greenery Bundle and Greetings of the Season Bundle as well a DSP and Specialty DSP Vellum that coordinates!

I made a top folding card and used the Birchwood Embossing Folder to emboss a layer over my cardbase.  The Birchwood EF will be in the upcoming September 2024 mini-catalog and was at the top of my preorder list!  

I used the Specialty DSP Graceful Greenery Vellum for my strips.  I cut a piece of the vellum 3" wide x 5" tall and then cut the 3" wide piece into 3 x 1" strips.  I added my adhesive under the greenery print on the vellum to assure it would not show through.  I ran some linen thread across the front bottom of the card three times and made a bow towards the left side.  The sentiment from the Greetings of the Season Stamp set was stamped in Garden Green onto Basic White Cardstock and cut with one of the smaller circle dies from the Deckled Circle Dies and popped up over the linen thread with Dimenstonals.  I then added some pine greenery cut with the Golden Greenery Dies.  Using one of the dies I also cut one of the Gold Bells out of the Season of Green and Gold DSP.  I added two of the greenery die cuts behind circle and popped one up with mini dimensionals only tucking the end behind the circle.  I popped up the bell as well just under the popped up piece of greenery.  I finished the card front up with a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.  

Next up is the coordinating treat holder..

I used the Season of Green and Gold DSP to make a Hersheys Nugget holder.  These dimensions are for a small purse holder but instead of adding handles, I ran more linen twine through the top of the front and back and added twine and a label from the Greetings of the Season Dies added another piece of the diecut greenery and another bell die cut from the DSP.  The basic dimensions of the Treat Holder is a 6" x 6" square scored at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2" and the other side scored at 2-1/2" and 3-1/2".  Once you fold your score lines, you will see the 1" middle section that will be the bottom of the treat holder.  At that time, you will cut down on the score lines to the bottom on both sides so that you can fold those sections in and adhere them with strong adhesive such as tear-n-tape or Seal +.   This is a simple treat holder and I love that it can be made with just a 6 x 6" sheet of DSP.
