Sketches are my favorite kind of challenge! I added some autumn colors to a piece of Basic White Cardstock with Blending Brushes, then cut it into three panels. The silhouettes created from the Harvest Dies add the perfect touch.
Created with the Blending Brushes, Harvest Dies, and In Your Words Stamp Set.
Begin by using a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Distress the edges of a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Use Blending Brushes to add Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze to a 3 x 4 1/2 piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut 1/4, 1 1/4, 1 1/4, 1 1/4, and 1/4 (five pieces). Adhere as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Mini or Standard) and the Harvest Dies to crop two pieces of Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin; Dimensionals.
Use the brush end of a Basic Black Stampin’ Marker to add splatter.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Cover with White Basic Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap to remove excess and set with a Heat Tool. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with the Matte Black Dots.
The Nature’s Harvest Die Bundle is simply stunning. I just love everything I have seen and created with it.
NATURE’S HARVEST CLING STAMP SET
The Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set is perfect for sending heartfelt messages of love and support to the people you hold dear. Along with touching sentiments that have a classic font style, this stamp set also includes botanical images that have a timeless feel. The neutral and classic designs are perfect for everyone in your life.
HARVEST DIES
Create a layered botanical effect with the Harvest Dies. Full of organic designs, the Harvest Dies are perfect for your cardmaking and scrapbooking projects during holidays and year-round.
The Nature’s Harvest Bundle has been so popular that it is currently unavailable. It has an estimated availability date set for the week of September 20. It might only be available for a short period of time until Stampin’ Up! receives sufficient inventory.
I love playing around and making sketches, so I have decided to start a sketch library and offer a sketch every Thursday. After creating this sketch, I noticed it was very similar to a card that I created and shared a few week’s back. You can see that card and my original blog post (along with a tutorial) here.

GDP #309 – Color Challenge with Peaceful Cabin
It’s Monday and time for another Global Design Project Challenge!
#GDP309 is a Color Challenge that is SO EASY to play along with! Basic Black, Basic White, and YOUR CHOICE of ANY COLOR!
I love black and white as it is fabulous in plaid, but black and white with a pop of Real Red…MY FAVORITE!
My husband celebrated his 48th birthday on September 9 and this is the card that I created for him. He loved it, which means a lot as he is my critic. He will offer tips and tricks on how he thinks I can improve on my next creation…and this one, he said he loved. 🙂 Maybe it was the bright red heart that did the trick?
Slimline Card:
Begin with a 8″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Score and fold at 4″.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to 8 1/2 x 3 1/2. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the Peaceful Cabin Images (Trees x 3, Cabin x 1, Fence x 2) in Versamark Ink onto Basic White Cardstock. Cover with Black Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Crop all with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the coordinating Cabin Dies. Trim the excess cardstock and separate the trees with Paper Snips. Create and adhere the scene as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the Birthday Wishes sentiment (Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set) in Versamark Ink as shown. Cover with Black Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal.
Crop a piece of Real Red Cardstock with a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the heart die from Warm Wraps Dies.
Adhere as shown with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Slimline Envelope:
Begin by cutting a piece of Basic White 12 x 12 Cardstock to 9 1/8 x 11.
Score the 9 1/8″ side at 2″ and 6 1/8″.
Score the 11″ side at 1 1/4″ and 10″.
Remove the four corners with Paper Snips by following the score lines.
Assemble and adhere at overlays.
Stamp the cabin in Versamark Ink onto a 7 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White Cardstock. Cover with Black Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Adhere to a 8 x 3 1/2 piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and to the envelope with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal.
I wasn’t entirely sure how a DistINKtive Stamp Set would heat emboss, but this one turned out wonderfully. It really helped with the rustic feel of the card, but gave it an amazing “touch” of texture. All images, including the sentiment and the envelope, were stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed in Black Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
Creating your own SLIMLINE envelope is pretty easy. I make them for all my slimline cards, but you can also use a Business #10 envelope if you want. I used a piece of Basic White 12×12 Cardstock. It’s not too thick and works well for my black and white theme.
The template to create your own envelope to tuck your slimline card inside is shown above. You can click on the image to download the PDF to print and keep it as a reference.
