I haven’t stopped creating since my Stampin’ Up! preorder arrived! There is so much to love in the new catalog! Today’s cards feature the new Thoughtful Designs 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper (available May 1st). This paper is absolutely gorgeous! I’m afraid my pictures don’t do it justice.

These cards were inspired by a card sketch. When I see a card design I like I make a sketch in a notebook. When I need some inspiration or just want to create something quick, I pull out my sketchbook. It’s a handy resource to have!

The butterfly and thanks dies used on these cards are from the special add-on dies (Thanks & Beyond Dies #164397) that coordinates with the April, May, & June Paper Pumpkin kits.

I’m Thankful for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #227

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves fun fold Thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
My project for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge is a quick & easy fun fold.

Here’s this week’s challenge board…
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #227-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I chose to go down the right column: Twine, Embossing, Patterned Paper.

Today’s cards showcase the Stampin’ Up! All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. These patterned papers evoke the coziness of autumn.

ALL ABOUT AUTUMN 6″ X 6″ SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Item# 162178

The All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper brings in the best elements of fall. The double-sided paper features detailed photographs of crisp golden leaves, weathered antique books, bright orange pumpkins, and organic earthy textures. The alternate sides show exquisite patterns interwoven with distressed copper foil.

Here’s a look at each of today’s cards.

I embossed the front panel with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and added leaves die cut with the Autumn Leaves Dies. The sentiment is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set.

Countryside Inn for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #211

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday!  I love these challenges! I didn’t have a lot of time to create this week so I picked 3 elements from this week’s board and went with one of my “go to” designs. This card came together in 5 minutes!

Stampin Up! Countryside Inn Suite Collection -visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Countryside Inn Suite Collection (Item #161474)

I used products from the new Countryside Inn Suite Collection for my card. This suite has multiple floral patterns in the Designer Series Paper, the embossing folder, and the stamp set. All of the products are beautifully coordinated, allowing you to mix and match and create an array of beautiful florals. I love all the different shades of blue in the charming Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.

Product colors: Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy

The Countryside Corners Bundle is so versatile! You can use the stamp set and dies to create card front layers, peek-through shapes, frames, and more! The shape of these dies is essential for any crafting session; they work beautifully for any style or occasion. They can easily be used with other products, and they pair great with sentiments and greetings. These dies easily add depth and texture to your cards to really make them pop! I used the dies to layer the DSP and coordinating cardstock on the front of my card. For the inside I stamped and cut out a border for the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set.

The Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder is the perfect way to add floral textures to your projects! You can use it on the base of your card or on other elements to add layers and texture.

I embossed the strip across the center of my card.
Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms and Layering Leaves celebration card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment is from Layering Leaves stamped in Night of Navy and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The punched butterfly from a scrap of DSP completes my Tic Tac Toe!

I love to decorate my envelopes to coordinate. I cut a strip of DSP 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 and adhered to the envelope flap. Then I used my Paper Trimmer to notch the ends to mimic the dies. It added that little finishing touch!
