I’ve been rather busy for the past couple of days and I’m sorry I have not had time to post any cards. Here’s another fall card I made using the Gather Together Stamp Set, the Gathered Leaves Dies, and the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. It was made with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2 card base of Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I’ve cut another piece of Whisper White Cardstock at 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the embossed panel on the front of the card. I only embossed the top portion of the panel, leaving about 3/4″ at the bottom for stamping my greeting. I stamped “Hello” in Bumblebee Ink on the bottom-right of this panel and adhered a 2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper above it.
The largest leaf image from the Gathered Together Stamp Set was stamped on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Black StazOn Ink. Before cutting it out with the matching die from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set, I sponged Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, and Shaded Spruce Inks on it so it looked like a fall leaf.
Next, I cut out 2 of the three-leaf images from the Gathered Leaves Dies Set using some Rainbow Glimmer Paper. All the leaves where then placed on the left side of the card front.
A Bumblebee Ribbon bow was placed on the leaves with Glue Dots. Three Champagne Rhinestone Jewels were adhered to the card front and then I sprinkled a little Bumblebee Ink with my Water Painter on the paper and the outside of the card was finished.
If you love plaid as much as I do, You need to get the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper! This pack of paper has 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ sheets, 4 each of 12 different designs. These classic all-season plaids are perfect for all your seasonal cards, scrapbooks, altered art, etc. or for your year round projects. There are several colors of cardstock that match this paper: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Seaside Spray, Shaded Spruce, and Whisper White.

I hope everyone’s had a good first half of the week. Here it is the middle of September already and it’s still hot as blazes in Florida. If you are in one of the areas where all the fires are located, I hope you are safe and that your home and property have not been destroyed. I sure hope it rains soon so it will help all the firemen and first responders fighting to keep the fires from spreading! I’m praying for everyone.
This is one of the cards I made today. (The photo is a little dark.) I’m using the Gather Together Stamp Set and the Gathered Leaves Dies again. I just love this set! I’ve added images from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, and some Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. I have to tell you, I’m having a very difficult time using this paper. I love the colors and plaids on both sides of the paper and don’t want to cut up any of it! It is perfect for Fall and Christmas. I will definitely being purchasing another paper pack before the Holiday Catalog ends. The card base is made out of a 5-1/2″ by 8-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock, folded and scored in the middle. I placed a 4″ by 5-1/4″ piece of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper to the left side of the card base so that the sides are even. Next, I embossed a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with a retired brick-looking embossing folder. (Stampin’ Up! now has a new 3-D folder called the Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder.) I sponged around the edges of it with Rich Razzleberry Ink and adhered it to the left side of the card base, as well.
I inked up the middle of the tree stump image from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set with Cinnamon Cider, stamped it on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut it out with my Paper Snips. It was then glued onto the right side of the embossed panel. The largest leaf in the Gather Together Stamp Set was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White in Black StazOn Ink. I used Sponge Daubers to apply Rich Razzleberry, Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, and Shaded Spruce Inks onto it and then cut it out with the matching die. Two of the smaller leaf images were also cut out of Shaded Spruce Cardstock with the matching dies from the Gathered Leaves Die Set and the tips were sponged with Mossy Meadow Ink. Unfortunately, the wheat image from the stamp set does not have a die to match, so I stamped two of them in Bumblebee Ink and cut them out with my Paper Snips. It was a lot easlier than it looked so I was happy with that! Lastly, I stamped the greeting in Rich Razzleberry Ink and punched it out with the new Banners Pick a Punch.
After layering everything on the card front, I took my Water Painter, squeezed a little water and ink in the lid of my Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. You don’t need too much water-just enough to water it down a little bit. Dip the Water Painter in the ink and water and sprinkle it on the card by flicking the end of the painter. Tie a bow with Linen Thread, add some bling and you’re ready to work on the inside of your card.

Who said sunflowers have to be yellow? I decided I wanted a Highland Heather sunflower on this card today and I love the way it came out! I used the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and and the matching Sunflower Dies. The large sunflower was stamped in Highland Heather Ink and the leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz on Whisper White Cardstock and then cut out with the matching dies.
How do you like the Whisper White background? It was made with the new Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. It was embossed and adhered to a slightly larger mat of Purple Posy Cardstock, which was then placed on the card front.
The ribbon, greeting, and tag are retired now, but they remain some of my favorites so I used them on my card. However, you could use any of the new ones on your card, as well.

I can’t believe we’re already in September! There is no change in the weather here in Florida and no changing of leaves to look forward to, but I am beginning to get that Fall-feeling. In fact, I’ve been making things and already started my Fall decorating!
I have more summer cards to share with you, but don’t know if I will after this post or if I’ll just begin posting my Fall cards. I do want to show you a few of my alternative Paper Pumpkin cards today. The Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin Kit from July was incredible! I loved the stamp set and the postcard-type paper.
I didn’t want to make postcards, so I made 9 full size cards by adding a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base to each one. (I love to make the paper Pumpkin cards as the directions show, but I also like to see what else I can do with them.) I used the By the Dock Stamp Set and the Mountain Air Stamp Set for one of the cards and I love the way it turned out. The background was perfect for this card. I stamped the dock and boat images with Black Momento Ink and colored them with Stampin’ Blends Markers – Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, and Soft Suede. When I was finished with the coloring, I adhered the postcard paper to the front of a Whisper White Cardstock base. So quick and easy! The photo turned out blurry so I need to take a better one, but it’s too dark right now.
