Card Swap Inspiration – Day 1

The swap cards were mailed out last week so hopefully everyone who participated received a card in the mail. The collection of cards I’m sharing today might not all have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives great ideas for color combinations, layouts, and techniques. Enjoy the inspiration from these amazing crafters!

Grateful For You with Beautiful Autumn

I hope everyone had a great World Cardmaking Day yesterday! Let’s continue to celebrate the joy of card making and share our handmade cards with others! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I sell my cards online and at a local shop to raise money for our local chapter. (*You can click on my link for more information.) The shop owner called me yesterday and needs more cards so I know what I will be doing this week! 🙂

Many thanks to all who left comments yesterday! It seems the Thanksgiving card was the favorite! If you missed yesterday’s post you can view it HERE. The winner of the card drawing is…Karen in Florida!  Congratulations Karen! Email me your address and I will pop your card in the mail to you!

Today I’m sharing the thank you cards I sent to my customers who placed an order with me in September. I wanted something simple to make multiples but also wanted it to be special. This sentiment is one of my favorites!

I love the elegant designs and earthy colors in the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper!  This card design is great for showcasing the various autumn-themed images, prints, and patterns. Some designs have copper or gold foil.

I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and the so soft Faux Suede Trim to add a bit of texture and highlight the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle.

Are you wondering where I got the shape I used to stamp my sentiment? I used the Everyday Label Punch and just snipped the curves off each end for a different look.

A Card Sketch for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #26

I look forward to Thursdays! I love seeing how others interpret the Tic Tac Toe Challenge board each week. Here’s this week’s challenge board.

No automatic alt text available.

I was intrigued by the sketch element this week and decided to use that in my design. When I first started stamping I would draw sketches of cards I saw and liked.  (Who knew I could just google card sketches and have tons of samples to choose from?! Obviously not me at the time.) This is one of my favorites.

Mojo Monday - The Blog

To me, this is a classic, quick & easy, go to sketch. You can punch the circles or cut them with dies.  You can cut patterned paper or stamp images and sentiments…so many possibilities! Here’s my card.

Stampin Up Painted Harvest Thank You card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I chose the far right row going down: chevron, sketch, acorn. I used the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch to cut the chevron and acorn designs from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack. The sentiment is from the Painted Harvest stamp set and stamped in Early Espresso ink. I used the new Stampin Blends to color the acorn and leaves from COunt My Blessings stamp set. I love coloring with the Blends! They are so easy to work with! I used Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and Bronze to color then fussy cut it out and attached to my card with Stampin Dimensionals. *Quick Tip: Put a piece of scrap paper under your project when you are coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. (I put a post it note inside my envelope to prevent my ink from bleeding through while I was coloring.) Here’s my envelope to match.
