Abundance of Pumpkins Card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are working with a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I have chosen a diagonal line featuring ‘orange, layers and torn’. Now orange is a colour I rarely use so this challenge was way out of my comfort zone. I made my card using the adorable Tractor & Co bundle to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the abundance of pumpkins card, you will need:

Cajun Craze card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Scrap Basic White card

 

I tore the long edges of the 5⅞” by 2¼” piece of Timid Tiger and the 5⅞” by 1¼” piece of Basic White card. Using a Sponge Dauber I added Cajun Craze ink to the torn edge of the Timid Tiger piece and then adhered the two pieces together. The whole piece was trimmed down to 5¾” before it was glued to the Cajun Craze card base.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams blog hop where we are sharing projects inspired by leaves. I have used the pretty Branching Out stamp set to make my card, I think pine needles count as leaves, don’t you?

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the branching out card, you will need:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lost Lagoon card – 4¾” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3¼”
Pecan Pie card – 1¼” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

I stamped the trio of leaves in the upper left and lower right corners of the Gray Granite card front with Gray Granite ink.

Using the Branching Out Dies, I die cut a label from the panel of Lost Lagoon and a smaller label from the smaller panel of Basic White card.

On the white label, I stamped the larger branch with Gray Granite ink. The leaves were stamped with Lost Lagoon ink.

I added the small pinecones with Pecan Pie ink. The labels were then glued together and mounted onto the Gray Granite card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set, was stamped on the small piece of Pecan Pie card with Versamark ink. I covered the ink with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool before being added to the card front.

To recreate the festive Santa card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Country Lace dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Secret Sea card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2⅜”

The piece of Country Lace dsp was adhered to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card. This was then glued to the Smoky Slate card base.

The Santa was stamped in Secret Sea ink onto the small piece of Basic White card. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate and Secret Sea.

I added ‘ground’ using a light Smoky Slate Blends Pen and stamped the pretty snowflakes from the Woodland Scenery stamp set all over the panel in Balmy Blue ink. The decorated panel was then adhered, at an angle, to the Secret Sea panel. The whole piece was mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.
