Do you ever get card ideas in your head and they just have to come out? That describes me with today’s card. I thought it would be really fun to use Stampin’ Up!’s Trucking Along stamp set in conjunction with the Pick of the Patch Bundle. My vision saw a big pumpkin riding in the back of the truck. Isn’t it fun?
A quick note about the Trucking Along Bundle. The stamp set is available as an Online Exclusive (meaning you’ll find it on Stampin’ Up!’s online store). The Trucking Along Builder Punch is slated to be available October 9, 2023. But, from my video below, see how easy it is to cut the truck by hand.

Are you ready for fall? The really hot summer has me dreaming about the cooler temps fall brings. I’m channeling that with my card making in my Mesa, Arizona, craft room. (It didn’t help bring on winter with Christmas in July, so I’m not sure this will actually work!)
But I am excited to work with the fall color palette. I tap into these fall offerings using Stampin’ Up!’s Gorgeously Made Bundle.
See this post for another card created recently with this bundle. The stamp set and dies were still out on my craft room table, and that inspired me to try the big leaf image for an autumn card.

Be sure to watch the video to see step-by-step instructions for creating this card. You’ll learn about the “stamping off” or second-generation stamping technique as well as how to add a little sponging with the Small Blending Brushes.

Featuring a Gilded Autumn thank you card with video.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing with all of the products in Stampin’ Up!’s Gilded Autumn Suite. I’m especially in love with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Talk about gorgeous! Talk about hoarding material! The metallic highlights in select sheets make this 12 x 12 paper shine.
Today’s card features just one of the lovely sheets of this Designer Series Paper. Notice that the patterned paper covers the entire front of the card. Be sure to watch the video below for a tip on getting this panel on straight. Normally, I’ll put layers on the card front; they’re easier to line up and get straight. But this quick tip makes it so easy!
