Today’s card features the cute Pick of the Patch bundle. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays since I was a small child. Alas, this year, this is the only card I got to make! After many months, my dining room and living room renovation is mostly finished as of yesterday, with the delivery of new furniture and electricians hanging brand new light fixtures, I’m now in the final inning! I still have to purchase a rug and window coverings and some new accessories, so I will hold off posting pictures of my new space for now. No more contractors and days and days having to leave the house for hours at a time, which greatly cut into my business. I held my first in-person classes last week since July and it was great to get back to stamping with my wonderful customers! This is one of the cards we made.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front. Since I knew I wouldn’t have time to make many Halloween cards this year, I used paper from the retired Gingham Cottage pack. Them Bones DSP from this year’s holiday mini catalog is what I would have used!
Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 5″ and run through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the third largest Deckled Rectangle die. Cut a length of Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and tie into a bow around the cardstock. Adhere at an angle to card front.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 5/8″ x 4 1/4 to use for the focal piece. Cut a strip of Basic White cardstock to use to stamp and punch out some of the images. Stamp the large, medium and small pumpkins with Pumpkin Pie ink. Stamp the pumpkin face onto the medium pumpkin. Punch out the large and medium pumpkin and fussy cut the small pumpkin.
Stamp three stems with Early Espresso ink and one leaf with Old Olive ink. Adhere to pumpkins with mini glue dots.
Stamp greeting with Early Espresso ink in the upper right corner of the Basic White focal piece. Stamp the elongated pumpkin below it with Cajun Craze ink and stamp the stem onto the piece with Early Espresso ink.
On the left side of the focal piece, stamp the branch with Pecan Pie ink. Stamp the dot image with Old Olive ink onto the branch limbs. Stamp the bird with Memento Black Ink at the top of the branch.
Adhere the focal piece over the Basic Black piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Copper Clay dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots for a bit of bling.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and stamp a pumpkin in one of the lower corners. Adhere to inside of card.

Today’s card features the Textured Floral Bundle. I’ve been wanting to make an explosion card for quite some time and decided to give it a go with this project. I used the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper which was in the January-April Mini Catalog and is now retired. I try not to use many retired products in my projects, however I thought it would make a pretty background for the flowers as well as the explosion piece inside the card.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 5″ and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the 2nd largest Countryside Corners die. Use the stamp with splotches to stamp around the edges with Fresh Freesia ink. Stamp off each time before stamping onto the cardstock.
Stamp flowers and leaves on piece of Basic White cardstock with Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist inks. Stamp stamens with Orchid Oasis ink. Run through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with coordinating Textured Florals Dies. Cut a scrap piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and run through machine with the leaf die. Adhere all die cut pieces to the Countryside Corners piece.
To make the inside explosion piece, either cut a 6″x6″ piece from a 12″x12″ piece of DSP or use a piece from a 6″x6″ pack of DSP. Score at 3″ horizontally and vertically. Score diagonally from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. Fold along score lines, creasing with a bone folder. Fold the diagonal creases out (mountain) and then fold the entire piece into a square, as shown in the photos.
Adhere the explosion piece to the inside of the card. The square should have the folds at the top and the open edges at the bottom. Add adhesive to the top and bottom square. Center the top of the folded piece up against the inside of the card score line. The left and right corners of the square should be touching the edges of the card base. Close the card to adhere the piece to the inside panels.
Cut two Basic White squares at 2 3/4″ square. Stamp greeting on one of the squares and stamp small flower image on the other square. Adhere to the DSP.
Adhere Countryside Corners collage piece to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add a few gems from the Tinsel Gems Three Pack for a bit of bling.

I’m back again after more than a month long absence. I’ve been undergoing renovations in my home and things have been beyond hectic! I’ve been sitting on lots of new products from the holiday mini catalog that have yet to be touched, so my next few posts will be for cards that I’ve made in the last two months as I play catch up. There will probably be weeks here and there where I will be missing again, as I finish up with contractors and furniture deliveries, but these will be minor interruptions.
Today’s card is another one I made using the Earthen Elegance Suite, which was the first thing I purchased when the new annual catalog came out.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut a piece of Copper Clay cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder set. Adhere to card front.
Cut a strip of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper at 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to left side of embossed piece. Adhere to card front.
Use the long vase die from the Earthen Textures Dies to run two different DSP scrap pieces through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Cut a small piece of the brown and white DSP with the drip design and run through machine with smaller vase die.
Run large leaf and vase handles through machine with Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and coordinating dies. Adhere vase handle piece to one of the large vases.
Stamp two different leaf images on Very Vanilla cardstock with Pecan Pie and Misty Moonlight ink. run through die cutting machine with coordinating dies.
Run a scrap piece of Pecan Pie cardstock through die cutting machine with the twig die.
To assemble the card, adhere the large Distressed Gold leaf to the back of one of the large vase pieces with mini glue dots. Adhere to card front. Adhere the Pecan Pie leaf and twig to the back of the other large vase with mini glue dots. Adhere the Misty Moonlight leaf to the smaller vase with mini glue dots. Adhere both vases to card front, overlapping the center vase.
Stamp greeting with Pecan Pie ink on scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, trim the cardstock and adhere to card front with Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
Add a bit of bling with a few Copper Clay Adhesive-Backed Gems.
For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp a leaf image with Pecan Pie ink in the bottom left corner and adhere.
