Hello Harvest

Nov 21, 2022

Hello, my friends! Today is all about this beautiful fall card I am sharing using the Hello Harvest Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! I bet you are wondering how I created the multi-colored leaves on this, aren’t you? I used the uber-fun Baby Wipe technique. If you have no clue what I am talking about, then hold on to your hats, and I will explain how I do it below.

Hello Harvest

To start this card:

I glued a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Crushed Curry patterned DSP from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper package to the center of a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ (scored at 4 1/4″) Crushed Curry cardbase.

Stamp one pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set onto a 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using Crumb Cake ink and die-cut it using the Rustic Pumpkins coordinating dies and your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine or, as I like to call it, The Big Boss!

Stamp three sunflowers images from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set onto a 1″ x 3″ strip of Basic White cardstock using Crush Curry ink and die-cut using The Big Boss. I colored my sunflowers using a Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil.

Stamp your “HELLO” sentiment from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set using Merry Merlot ink on the left edge of the 3″ x 7/8″ strip of Basic White cardstock. Use your Paper Snips and cut a banner edge to the left edge of the sentiment layer.

TIP:

The easiest way to make sure your banner edge is even is to measure where the center height of your cardstock and mark it lightly with a pencil mark. Then take your paper snip and cut up on that center line to the desired depth of the banner edge. Then cut from each corner to the center of your cut point, and you will have a perfectly even banner edge!

 

Next, I will show you how to create beautiful fall leaves using the Baby Wipe technique!

 

Hello Harvest,

Baby Wipe Technique:

You won’t believe how easy this Baby Wipe technique is. 

Start by folding a baby wipe in quarters. Place the folded baby wipe on a plastic plate or your Silicone Craft Sheet.

Now for the fun part, gather the re-inker colors you would like to use. For this Hello Harvest Fall Card, I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, and Merry Merlot.

Starting with your lightest color, Crushed Curry. Start dropping a few drops of ink onto the baby wipe. Don’t cover it completely you have several more colors to add.

Continue adding a few ink drops of each of the remaining colors. You can fill in any blank spots as needed.

Now your “ink pad” is complete, start stamping your images by taping the stamp image onto the baby wipe and stamping directly onto your cardstock. 

TIP:

I like to clean my stamp after stamping the image each time so the color doesn’t get muddy when stamping multiple images. 

Hello Harvest,

Once I completed my Baby Wipe technique background, I could finish putting the card together.

I glued the fall leaf patterned cardstock in made to a 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and glued those layers to the center of the Crushed Curry card base. 

Glue a 4 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ strip of Merry Merlot cardstock towards the bottom of the cardbase. 

Attach the die-cut Crumb Cake pumpkin to the right side of the Merry Merlot strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Glue down two colored die-cut sunflowers and add the third one using Stampin Dimensionals.

I made a triple bow with my Linen Thread and added it to the pumpkin stem using a Mini Glue Dot.

And lastly, to complete my beautiful fall card, I added some glue to the right edge of the “HELLO” sentiment and tucked it under the edge of the die-cut pumpkin.

Isn’t the Baby Wipe Technique excellent!!! It is so versatile for any project you are working on. I had a lot of fun creating projects with this Hello Harvest stamp set and Rustic Pumpkin coordinating dies! This is a must-have bundle in my book.

A Bewitching Halloween

Oct 19, 2022

Hello, my friends! Are you all ready for Halloween? I am almost there. I will be ready for the kiddos with a little more decorating. Today I am sharing a Bewitching Halloween card I made using the Bewitching Stamp Set & coordinating Witch Hat Builder Punch from Stampin’ Up!.  The colors I used in this card were inspired by all the super cute witch costumes I see every year grace my doorstep.

A Bewitching Halloween
  • To start this card. I stamped the witch hat using Gorgeous Grape ink, and stocking /boot images from the Bewitching Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock.
  • I punched out the hat using the Witch Builder Hat Punch and fussy cut the stockings/boots image using my paper snips. Note: when I created this blog post, I didn’t know the Witch hat Builder Punch wouldn’t be available to order. You could use the paper snips to cutout the witches hat. 
  • Once I had the hat and shoes cut out, I colored them using Highland Heather DK, Black DK, Daffodil Delight DK, and Granny Apple Green Dk Stampin Blends.
  • I stamped the “Let’s Celebrate” sentiment from the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set onto the right side 3″ x 3/4″ Basic White cardstock. You will be tucking the left side under the Basic Black square.
  • Stamp the image of the stars onto the sentiment tag using Daffodil Delight ink.
  • Die-cut the 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ Basic Black cardstock using the 2 5/16″square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
  • Glue the 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ Pumpkin Pie gingham DSP to the 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ Gorgeous Grape cardstock. Glue these layers to the center of the Basic Black card front.
  • Glue down the 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ Granny Apple Green DSP strip about 1 1/4″ from the bottom edge of the cardbase.
  • Cut a 5 1/2″ piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and adhere it to the top of the Granny Apple Green DSP using Mini Glue Dots. Make sure you keep the glue dots in the center of the DSP, so they don’t show through the ribbon.
  • Adhere the die-cut stitched edge Basic Black Square to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Tuck the sentiment tag under the Basic Black die cut and glue it down.
  • Glue down the witches’ shoes to the Basic Black die-cut and adhere the witch’s hat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

A Bewitching Halloween

To make the bow, I cut a 16″ piece of the Black Bakers Twine and Highland Heather Grossgrain Ribbon that I cut into three strips. I took two of the Highland Heather ribbon pieces and the Black Bakers Twine and made a bow. I attached the bow with Mini Glue Dots.

The last step I took to make this card perfect in my book was adding some Wink of Stella to the black boots. I LOVE Wink of Stella. It adds that special sparkle to any project! You must get some if you have never used it.

I hope you have enjoyed this card as much as I did. Suppose you don’t need a card. You could take just the black die-cut with the witches hat and boots to make a cute tag for a Halloween treat to hand out or gift packaging as well!
