I started with a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
Then, using Basic White cardstock and our Blending Brushes, I covered my paper with Just Jade ink. When I had the shade I wanted, I blended Pool Party ink and then a small amount of Pacific Point ink. As I mentioned in Monday’s post, after getting ink on my Blending Brush, I start by moving the brush in a circular motion on my grid paper and then without lifting the brush, continue on to my Basic White cardstock. This will help to prevent blotches of color.
I cut the paper down to 4-3/4″ x 2″ and then using Memento Ink, stamped leaves using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. Then I adhered it to a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the stamp set Pansy Patch to stamp the sentiment in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. This is a photopolymer stamp set and I CUT the stamp in half so it would fit on my circle. Now my stamp is more versatile and it was easy to cut with our Paper Snips. I cut the sentiment out using our Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger circle out of Coastal Cabana and then layered the two pieces together. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and our Blending Brushes. If you haven’t tried using our Blending Brushes, they make it so easy to make a beautiful background. Not only will you have a one of a kind background, but it’s really relaxing too!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I used one of our Blending Brushes to pick up Magenta Madness ink and blend it over the paper until I had the shade I wanted. Then, using another Blending Brush, I lightly blended Daffodil Delight ink over the top.
Tip: After picking up the ink on the brush, brush the ink over your grid paperbefore applying it to the Basic White cardstock. If you pick up the ink and directly start blending on your Basic White, you’ll get blotches of color. I pick up the color and then blend in a circular motion on the grid paper and then, without picking up the blending brush, continue onto my paper.
After getting the color I wanted, I used the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to stamp two different leaves in Memento Ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Biggest Wish and was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the sentiment before it was adhered to the card front
Bundle Alert(save 10%): The Gorgeous Leaves Bundle #158609, includes the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and the Intricate Leaves Dies.

Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit
Kit contains enough supplies to create 12 treat packages—4 each of 3 designs. The all-inclusive kit includes printed die-cut boxes, die-cut sheets, adhesive, and more!
Finished treat box size: 2-1/2″ x 2″
Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Cajun Craze cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I added a square of Basic White cardstock that I embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder onto a square of Bumblebee cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I cut two leaves using the Intricate Leaves Dies out of Cajun Craze cardstock and Bumblebee cardstock. Down near the uppermost part of the stem, I added a Mini Glue Dot between the leaves to secure them together. Then I added one to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I made a bow using two pieces of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine (you can find this in the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack). I added a Mini Glue Dot to the back (rolled into a ball) and adhered the bow to the leaves.
The sentiment was stamped onto a Basic White scalloped circle that was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. It was stamped in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Biggest Wish. I added adhesive to the upper part of the circle and adhered it to the lower bottom right corner of the small square. To complete the card I added three Holiday Rhinestones.

I started with a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set using Memento Ink onto the Basic White rectangle and then adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the pumpkins onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set and then colored them using these colors of Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Cinnamon Cider. It was super easy to cut them out with the Detailed Pumpkins Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the Basic White rectangle.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front.

Today’s card was created using our Blending Brushes and the stamp set, Shaded Summer. This stamp set is currently on backorder but is estimated to be back in stock the week of August 23rd. As of today, it can still be added to your cart and when it’s in stock, Stampin’ Up! will mail it to you (the rest of your order will ship as usual).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of our regular Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Animal Print Embossing Folder. Next, I stamped the flowers from Shaded Summer using Versamark ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I then heat embossed the image using white embossing powder from our Basics Embossing Powders set and our Heat Tool (you can find more detailed instructions for embossing farther down in the post). I also heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set Artistically Inked.
Next, using one of our Blending Brushes, I blended Flirty Flamingo ink over the cardstock until I had the color I wanted. When I was done, I took a soft tissue and wiped over all the embossed parts to take off any ink that might have been sitting on top. To complete the card, I added five of our new Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the card front using Multipurpose Glue. The sequin at the bottom of the stem was added because some of my embossing powder collected there so I hid it with a sequin.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing) over the surface as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image. Shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as it’s transformed!
