The card I have to share today could be for any time of year. It is a sweet wreath with a gorgeous background. The star of the card is between the wreath and the beautiful paper.
Stamps and Dies, and Punch
This fun wreath is super easy to create! I used the Cottage Wreaths Stamp set to stamp the wreath in Crushed Curry Ink. Next I stamped some of the extra bows with Old Olive Ink. After die cutting the pieces, I cut apart the greenery to space it behind the wreath. Both of the stamped images are the distinctive stamping where it shows texture along with lighter and darker areas. I think this adds so much to the image.
The gorgeous and detailed bow is also from the Country Wreath Die Set. The details are perfect when doing the bow from card stock. There is also a solid die if you are cutting a stamped bow. The last of the stamping is the simple sentiment. Personally I love words on a wreath. This was created with the Best Label Punch. The words are from the stamp set. And it tucks easily behind the bottom inner part of the wreath.
Papers
This gorgeous paper could also be the star of the card. It is from the Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper. And it is even prettier in person! I wanted the DSP to really pop, so kept a semi monochromatic color scheme. The card base of Night of Navy is perfect for the DSP. To tie in the greenery of the wreath, I added a thin layer of Old Olive card stock. And the Crushed Curry wreath mimics, somewhat, the gold in the DSP. I love the combination personally and hope you do as well.
Finishes
There are two things that help the look of the card. The first is the layout. I went with smaller layers to show more of the Night of Navy card base. That larger area frames the beautiful DSP and wreath like art on a wall. And the usual final touch is bliing! For this one I added one of the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to the center of the bow on the wreath. With the gold in the DSP it really did not need much.

The card I am sharing today is similar to one I did previously. It showcases the gorgeous All About Autumn Designer Series paper and Autumn Leaves stamp set.
Papers
The paper is by far the star of this card. It has been so popular and continues to be. The expected return date is October 9, so keep a check if you are interested. This layout is one I have done several times before. It is a regular side fold card with 1″ cut off of the right front opening. I love how this allows more of the gorgeous paper to show.
The front and strip are both part of the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper. But did you notice the leaves? They also are cut from the DSP. They really pop with the definition in the die cut. And to add some more of the bling from the paper, I used Gold Foil as the background for the sentiment.
Stamps and Dies
The Bundle used is the Autumn Leaves Bundle. I know SU has had some beautiful leaves bundles previously. But these have to be my favorite. And as I mentioned above, the detail in the die cut is awesome. As is the details in the label dies. There are three of those included in the dies. I used the smaller one and simply cut the Basic White to fit inside of it.
The sentiment is from the stamp set. It is definitely a favorite. I am Thankful for so many things, really everything, in my life and this allows me to share that with others. And to add just a touch more bling, I added a single gold from the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.

The card I have to share today is a really simple birthday card. It stars the Curved Occasions stamp set. This is one that comes with the arched punch as a bundle.
Stamps
The card I made is a very simple and somewhat plain one. I love quick and easy cards and this is one that is simple, may be considered plain, but is pretty. And that is my main goal, a pretty card. The Curved Occasions Stamp set is a mix of single images that are perfect as stand alone focal layers. This card could be a birthday, wedding shower, or any special occasion that requires cake! I stamped the cake with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the leaves and flowers with Stampin’ Blends. I also added a touch of the Sea Foam Green on the cake to not have it totally white.
Papers
The colors of the card came from the DSP choice of course. That is pretty much my norm. This one is from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. It is a mix of Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia. A perfect combination for a sweet birthday. To further carry those colors I used Fresh Freesia as the card base and then a layer of Bubble Bath behind the cake layer. The finishing touch is a scattering of Iridescent Pearls that I colored with both the Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends.

The card I have to share today is a quick and easy one. It stars the beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. And is great for your leftover pieces.
Papers
The star of this card is the DSP strips. As I said above, they are from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Each one is cut 1 X 4. These are the sort of strips that I tend to have leftover. What a great way to use those leftover, but so cute, little strips of paper.
The strips are adhered to a Basic White panel that is embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. This adds some great texture to the background. With a thin layer of Misty Moonlight between the Thick Basic White card base and the embossed layer is all the extra color I chose to use.
Stamps and Punch
The sentiment layer is from the Circle Sayings Bundle. And it is a Punch Bundle. There are a variety of sentiments and images that fit inside the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I really love Circle Punches!!! The flowers at the top and sentiment are from the stamp set. The little flowers on the bottom are from the Lasting Joy stamp set. How perfect is that! I also used a sentiment from that set on the inside. With a scattering of the Boho Blue pieces from Adhesive Backed Solid Gems as flower centers the card is complete. So a quick card as well as one starring leftover paper strips!

The September – December Mini Catalog is live today!! Woohoo!! I have my order ready to go for my Paper Shares and product I did not get on my Pre-order. Hopefully you are as excited as I am.
Today’s card is a new Punch Bundle from the Mini Catalog. With a couple of new extras added in. The weather is not saying Fall where I am, but for many it is right around the corner.
Background
This card features a variety of products. But one of the first I notice, besides the sign, is the background. So we are beginning there. I created the background by using a mask from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. This set has layering stencils, or masks, to create a sunflower scene, plus this Fall , and a herringbone looking one. Deciding on colors and then how they will blend is the hard part.
For this background I used Daffodil Delight lightly all over, then added some Old Olive, and finally some Copper Clay. I did not want it to be too dark. But maybe should have added some Blackberry Bliss to pop some. The best part is the stencil cleans in just a second under running water. I was impressed!
Stamp Bundle
The stamp set used is the Pick of The Patch. And it has a matching Punch! Yay on the punch because they are my favorite. Both of the pumpkins, stems, and leaves are all in the punch. So easy peasy there. I stamped the pumpkins with Pumpkin Pie Ink and then filled in some shadows with the Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends. The leaves and stem are stamped with Old Olive.
The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and is stamped on a piece of the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper. I thought a wooden sign was perfect for the pumpkin patch.
Dies
The sign is cut using a Die from the Stars At Night Die set. I love the beautiful stars in that stamp set and dies, which is a hybrid by the way. But the shape of this die is what really sold me. And yes I know that is silly! For me a great shape that fits a large number of sentiments is a must have!!
The card is finished with a scattering of the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots. The Copper one was placed as a nail holding up the sign. And a few green ones are scattered. To finish a bit more, I added some flecks from the Copper Clay Stampin’ Write Marker.

Tomorrow is the debut of the Mini Catalog!! I hope you have your Wish List ready to go. I know I have a long one. Also, the Online Exclusive Papers are available tomorrow. The flyer is at the bottom of the post. If you do not currently have a demonstrator, I would love for you to place your order with me. There is a host code at the bottom of the post, and on the side depending on your device. I have a rewards program also which is explained at the bottom of the post.
The card I have to share today is one that hit home with me as I made it. It is about spending time with friends. I know that I need to get outside my little world and do just that. It is good for all of us! And this stamp set is a great beginning.
Stamps
All of these stamps are from the set Warm Welcome. And that is an apt name for this set. The smiling cat makes me smile every time! This set has moved to the Online Exclusives site and is available now. There are a variety of images to put in the doorway and great sentiments to match.
I went with a simple pairing of the friends with coffee, or tea. Of course the cat has to be there to greet everyone! All are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The shadow of the door on the ground was made with Light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend.
Layers
To keep this a really simple card, I started with a base of Thick Basic White. The layer is Orchid Oasis, as is the door. The layers are smaller which seems to highlight the top layer more. The Orchid Oasis is 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 and the top Basic White is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. There is a single Bling that does not show in the photo very well. It is one of the Adhesive Back Sparkle Gems. I used it as the doorknob. But since it is dark and the door is also, you have to look really close.
