I’m so glad you stopped by today. The inspiration for this months card came from a recent shopping trip to the dollar store to purchase supplies for a door hanger project. I wish I had it completed at the time this hop. Though there is die-cutting involved, it’s pretty #simplestamping.
- Card base is standard 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”
- DSP Layer is 5 1/4” x 4”
- ’Legs’ are 1/2” x 3”

Hello and welcome to this months Stamp It Fall Blog Hop.
Normally when it comes to cards of fall, I tend to rely on old techniques to blend the typical fall colors, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape you know all those colors. Today I wanted to try and not go back to the o’Faithful toolset – you know the ones, water painters, blending brushes and the trusty sponge dauber.
Using a standard PORTRAIT (flip open from bottom vs. side)
- Card base is 5 1/2” tall by 4 1/4” wide in Basic Black.
- Basic Black square 3“ x 3“
- Basic White square 3“ x 3“
- The black and white side is DSP from The Party Pack 12”x12” Host DSP paper pack.This was cut 5 1/4” x 4”.
I used the Basic White to stamp my pumpkins from Pretty Pumpkins Bundle and cut the pumpkins using the Detailed Pumpkin dies.
Inside I added a scrap of DSP (3/4” x 4”) to add a little trim to the bottom of an otherwise boring Basic White insert that is also 4” x 5 1/4”.
I appreciate you taking a moment to stop by today and hope you were inspired to get creating. Don’t forget to enter by leaving a Comment using #StampinContest to win like Elizabeth did.
Next months prize is the Hello Dear Friend Kit

Welcome to my Stamp It Christmas in July post.
I’m excited to give you a small introduction to the Whimsy and Wonder Suite that will be available in the July – December Mini Catalog releasing on August 3, 2021. Note: I will update the product links when the catalog goes live.
I have to say, I had mixed feelings about this suite at first. I liked the whimsy trees, I liked some of the color combinations but I wasn’t sure of the combination together. Now I can’t wait to create more with it. The hardest part will be using the DSP. (I’m working on that problem in general Ha-Ha!)
Look at this Holly paper!!
- Berries in Blushing Bride
- Leaves in Mossy Meadow and Mint Macaron
- Hint a Holographic trim
How do you get over cutting it, putting adhesive on it and covering it up to display the other side. I could use my paper with a little less stress if they banned double sided DSP.
Here’s a sneak peek at the trees. Originally, I thought I was going to die cut one or more trees to use. So I arranged on my scrap to do all at once. Might see a few more in the background. 😉
As I looked at the other stamps, 🐿 squirrel moment 🐿 I instantly envisioned the word Joy for my tree topper. As my card has had a moment to ‘rest’, I think it needs more around my tree. It might be snow or gems.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek.

Welcome to the Stamp It Summer – Patriotic Blog Hop
I decided I would try my hand at the blending technique using the Stampin Blend alcohol based markers and 91% alcohol on vellum. I’ve seen several posts that people can not find this high of percentage. You can find the 91% alcohol at Target or try a local pharmacy.
Using Real Red and Night of Navy in the darks, I scribbled blocked sections leaving empty or white space. Obviously there is no white blend so you have to create the illusion. I can be somewhat challenged with techniques so it took a few variations of using two colors to create red, white and blue while being happy with it and not making grape 😂😂 We are our own worst critics at times aren’t we!
It was never my intention to emboss the word friend. I poured the loose embossing powder off towards the bottom instead of off to the side. Surprisingly, my ink was still wet enough to pick up the embossing powder, so I went with it. I placed upon the Pacific Blue Card base.
As a result, my future attempt will be to make my vellum layer smaller and add a Basic Black layer to help the vellum layer pop.

Good Saturday morning for those of you joining us on the first day of the Father’s Day theme blog up by Stamp It group.
Today I am showing you a cute #SimpleStamping card that can be used for any occasion, not just Father’s Day. My Pale Papaya example you will see it was just a matter of doing some basic cutting. OK, so maybe it was because I’m still putting stuff away from our move or I have too much stuff and I couldn’t find my stitched rectangle dies. 😬
Measurements and Materials
- Whisper White base
- 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
- Score @ 4 1/4″ on 8 1/2” side
- 2021-2023 Evening Evergreen cut with Largest Stitched Rectangle
- Or you can cut your paper like I did for the Pale Papaya to be 5 1/4” x 3 7/8”
- Stitched Nested Label dies used for pocket (which I now realize are retired, sorry)
- Cut a half shape in 2021-2023 In Color DSP (designer series paper)
- Cut a 1/3rd shape in Whisper White – stamped with any small greeting
- Using scrap of whisper white or basic white and standard paper hole punch I punched several pieces to be buttons. I then created buttonholes and thread with the 2021 Dash 2023 In Color markers
