SPLENDID AUTUMN EXPRESSIONS

This card was created for one of my monthly coffee club challenges.   I love this little group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  We are from all over the United States.  We have lots of Virtual Zoom fun and enjoy challenging each other!

We are all part of the Klompenstampers Team and the challenge was to use one of our upline's design templates to create a card.  

This is a great template, but the real star of this card is the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I used several different pieces of DSP for the 4 vertical strips at the bottom and then for the top and the front of the medallion, I used the gorgeous daisy design.

This slightly angled view above shows the medallion a little better.  It is made with a die from the Autumn Expressions Dies.  There is even a die to make the gold chain.  How cool is that?

The medallion opens to reveal a greeting from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set.

It doesn't show super clearly in the photo, but the sentiment is heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

Another strip of the Splendid Autumn DSP adds some color to the inside of the card and a different scene from the same DSP covers the envelope flap.

I didn't add a sentiment to the inside -- yet!  I can easily turn it into a thank you card or a Thanksgiving card -- once I decide how it is going to be used.

MEMORIAL DAY SAILING TRIP

It's a new week, so I have a new bundle to share.  It's called Let's Set Sail, and it is a punch bundle.  As much as I love a great die set bundle, it's always fun to get back to the basics of punches.  After all, punches have been around a LOT longer than dies, right?  

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY stamping friends!  Do you remember when it was called Decoration Day?  I like the name Memorial Day better.  It seems more fitting for the meaning and purpose of having this special day of remembrance.

Today, as we remember those that have paid the ultimate price in their service to our country, my mind automatically goes to a Red, White & Blue color theme.

This Let's Set Sail bundle combines my love of punches and my love of all things water. I used the Diorama Dies to highlight a Sunset Scene over the water.  This background was created with Blending Brushes.  These kinds of scenes are so easy and fun to make.  It is an opportunity to let creativity flow.  I used a circle die from Stylish Shapes for my sun.

The Sailboat was stamped with Poppy Parade ink and the sails were simply punched from Basic White cardstock.  To create the illusion of billowing sails I hand drew a few curved lines on the sails with a Glimmery Gel pen.  I used the lines in the stamps as my guide.  You can see similar white lines made by the stamp in the sneak peek image of the envelope in the photo above. 

To make sure the inside of the card did not feel forgotten, I added a quick and easy stamped sailing scene.  The water and sails were stamped with Night of Navy and again the boat was stamped with Poppy Parade.

I hope you liked today's card and are looking forward to seeing more cards made with the Let's Set Sail bundle.
