Changing Leaves Bundle Card Samples

Changing Leaves Bundle Card Samples

When the calendar turns to September, it’s time to starting thinking about creating those fall cards. For me, the perfect bundle is Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle. It includes the Changing Leaves Stamp Set and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. Buy them as a bundle, and receive a 10 percent discount. You won’t find this bundle in the catalog. It’s one of the Online Exclusives releases, and it’s been highly popular. 

I think you’ll see why it’s been a sought-after item with just a few of the cards I show you in this post today. Be sure to watch the Facebook live replay below to see how this awesome hybrid embossing folder works. It embosses AND die cut sat the same time. And the result is stunning! I show quite a few samples in the video in addition to the few featured in this post.

Changing Leaves Here for You

These measurements will help you create this card at home for the card featured at the beginning of this post:

  • Basic Beige cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Basic Beige cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
  • Country Woods Designer Series Paper measuring 2 x 5 1/4
  • Leaves stamped with Pool Party, Early Espresso, and Petal Pink on Basic Beige cardstock
  • Linen Thread
  • Glossy Dots Assortment (Pool Party)

I’m impressed this bundle lends itself to so many other designs. The card below uses only the stamps. I inked the leaves with: Pool Party, Wild Wheat, and Copper Clay. The sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set. And, look at that gorgeous Wild Wheat ribbon.

And, I’m in love with the the gold foil embossed leaves. Gorgeous, right? Check out the embossing folder. It’s the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2024 Mini Catalog.

Hang an Ornament All is Merry

Hang an Ornament All is Merry 

Are you a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas cards? Do you prefer the holiday colors of reds and greens? Or do you like something a little different?

I find I’m a little bit of both!

For today’s card, I steered more toward the non-traditional with Night of Navy and gold while using Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle, now available from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I think you’ll love the price point of this bundle at $29.50. It lends itself to creating some quick and easy, but beautiful holiday cards.

Pocket Thoughts Dies for Christmas

Pocket Thoughts Dies for Christmas

Hello, stampers! This is my last post celebrating Christmas in July. I’m kind of sad! I’ve been having so much fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Greetings of the Season Bundle and the gorgeous Season of Green & Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Seriously, this paper is amazing with its gold foil sheets and gold accents. And, the stamp set offers a mix-and-match approach, where you can “build” exactly what you want to say. 

Find these new offerings on my online store by clicking here

Greetings of the Season Bundle

Season of Green Gold patterned paper

Today, I add Stampin’ U!’s Pocket Thoughts Dies to the mix. This three-die set allows you to add pockets on your card — on front or in the middle — to hold gift cards or tags with messages.

I created two separate cards using the patterned paper, but experimented with Night of Navy and Gold Foil. Which is your favorite?
