Hi stampers and crafters. I currently live in Greensboro, North Carolina although, I'm an Atlanta native. I am married, have two children and one grandchild. I love all things animal (we've) had many during our time here). I have been crafting with StampinUp! products for 21 years. I also love to make wreaths, sew, diamond paint, design custom vinyl transfer apparel and build dollhouses. I love to read and swim also. I love the beach and the mountains. Often, I'll bring my crafting supplies along on vacations, etc. Stamping and crafting is very relaxing and cathardic for me and I enjoy seeing what I can make with StampinUp!'s perfectly coordinated products.


Hi Stampers and crafters.  This card is made with the Stampin' Up Amber Autumn stamp set and the beautiful Gathering Together Designer Series Paper Pack.

Begin by cutting a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" Very Vanilla Cardstock in half and fold in half lengthwise.  Cut a panel of the Green and Gold stripe pattern from the designer series paper to 4 1/16" x 5 1/16".  Adhere this panel to the Very Vanilla card base.  From the Spotlight on Nature Dies set, select the second largest Slit Circle Die and die cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with the die.  Stamp the Thanks sentiment from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set in Early Espresso ink onto the top right corner of the circle as shown.  Stamp the pumpkin image from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set onto Very Vanilla cardstock in Early Espresso ink.  Color any way you like.  I used Stampin' Up Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 and 2. Die cut this image out with the appropriate die.  Die cut 3 leaves from the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper using th leaf die from the Amber Autumn Die Set.  Adhere the Pumpkin image to the bottom of the circle as shown with Stampin' Dimensionals and adhere the leaves behind it. Adhere three yellow Loose Frosted Dot for accent.   Gorgeous!!
