Card Details

Here are a few details about how I created this card:

  • Very Vanilla Card stock: base measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4. Another piece measuring 5 1/4 x 4.
  • Ink refill colors: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green
  • Linen Thread
  • Enamel Basic Effects: Copper

Baby Wipe Technique

A brief recap of how to accomplish this technique. Be sure to watch the video below to see how it’s done:

  • Layer two baby wipes on top of each other. Be sure to protect your work surface as the ink will bleed. I used my Glass Mat.
  • Drip drops of reinkers onto baby wipes. I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green.
  • Cover the baby wipe area. It has to be large to accommodate the large stamp.
  • Press the stamp in the inked baby wipe and then stamp on the Very Vanilla card stock.

This month, we feature handmade cards and projects created with the color combination of Black, Gorgeous Grape, and Pumpkin Pie.

To me, these colors say Halloween. I immediately thought of the brand-new Halloween Spells 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Find this online as part of Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new scrapbooking release.

Changing Leaves Two-Tone Congrats

Who doesn’t love the beauty of the fall? So gorgeous with the changing colors of the leaves and the vibrant regals. I’ve tried to depict that fall season with today’s post and featured card.

I use Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle and the Autumn to Remember 12 x 12 Card Stock.

  • Find the Changing Leaves Bundle as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. You won’t find this in a catalog, but it’s available in the online store. It’s been a hugely popular bundle and just recently came back into stock.
  • The Autumn to Remember 12 x 12 Card Stock is just one of the new releases in the scrapbooking line. You receive two sheets each of Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, and Petal Pink two-tone card stock.

Splendid Autumn Card Sample

Raise your hand if you’re a collector of Designer Series Papers. Count me in, too! I love all of Stampin’ Up!’s papers, including it’s double-sided patterned designs. Not only do I love collecting the paper, but I love using it, as well.

For today’s card, I’m sharing a simple Designer Series Paper (DSP, for short) technique that works really well with the “scenery” designs.

The current “scenery” paper includes the Meandering Meadow, Thoughtful Journey, and Splendid Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Here’s a peek at the Splendid Autumn:

Cutting Directions

Here are some measurements and information to help you get started:

  • Wild Wheat card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • A 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of your choice of Designer Series Paper. I used the Splendid Autumn 6 x 6 DSP for this first card.
  • Cut the DSP in strips at 1 1/4, 1, 3/4, and 1/2
  • Space these pieces out and attach to a piece of Cajun Craze card stock measuring 4 1/2 x 3
  • Pop this up on card front
  • Stamp sentiment with Cajun Craze ink on a piece of Crushed Curry card stock measuring 4 3/4 x 1/2. Find the congrats sentiment comes in the Sweetly Scripted stamp set, one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives.
  • Pop up the sentiment on card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s another card using this cutting technique with Stampin’ Up!’s Thoughtful Journey 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
