So I can get started on holiday cards right away, I came up with this design using the Cheerful Daisies stamp set from the main catalog. This stamp set works perfect with the Wildly Flowering pattern paper, which is on sale at 15% off through Saturday!  It’s a perfect patterned paper for fall card making. It matches all the 2023-2025 In Colors, which have been my favorite fall colors.

I kept the design simple since the embossed background and the large die cut of the daises is a big focal point. For this reason, I used only a 2.5″ strip of the patterned paper as a full background would have been too busy for me.

To make the sentiment, I used 2 stamps sets, Sentimental Park for the “Let’s Celebrate” sentiment and the Thanksgiving word stamp from my “must have” set, Choose Happy.

It’s a simple card design with most of the “wow” factor added with the Eyelet 3-D Embossing Folder for the background and the amazing die cuts using the Cheerful Daisies dies. I made another “Thanksgiving” card using this set I will show in a few days. It’s been fun working with this beautiful stamp set again!

This is a  Halloween card using some of the new Ephemera in the Main Catalog.  These are brand new for Stampin’ Up! and once I get used to creating with these, I am sure I will use these lots more.  You can see the Ephemera Packs HERE!

For this card, I started out with a base of Crumb Cake and stamped a plaid design with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. This is a stamp in the main catalog and is a carry over from last year, so you may already have this in your stamp collection. For me, this is a “Holiday Must Have” just because of the versatility of this stamp. You can basically make your own background papers with it!  I used Basics Gray ink on the Crumb Cake. It looks like black, but the Basics Gray is a little softer in look and I like it better.

Once I dad the background down, I started selecting Ephemera to make a collage. I chose Ephemera that was all in black ink. The only exception was a Garden Green piece that I really liked, so I just colored it with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend to get the color I wanted. The flowers are all colored in with a Pumpkin Pie and Ivory Stampin’ Blend.

To make the sentiment, I used word stamps and pumpkins from the Choose Happy stamp set. This is another “must have” because it has elements for a variety of holidays and occasions. It’s one of those versatile sets you will reach for time and time again. I chose the “HAPPY, BOO and DAY” word stamps to create a sentiment.  The pumpkins were colored in using a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend!

This is a card created entirely from elements available to you from Stampin’ Up! It’s a good illustration that you can create many looks using the supplies you have on hand! As a Demo, I have gotten a sneak peak of the new Holiday Ephemera in the Holiday Mini coming out very soon. For cards, tags, home decor and scrapbook pages, the Ephemera packs are going to be great to create with.

The September Paper Pumpkin Looks Beautiful!

The 2024-2026 In Colors are the happiest and brightest collection of colors.  Pretty In Pink is a returning color from I don’t know how long ago and I am glad it is back! All of the new In Colors are shown below.

I love “Lilly Pulitzer” colors and this Pretty In Pink is almost like their signature pink color.  And I wanted to do a card that looked very “Lilly” and no combination could work better than Pretty In Pink and Shy Shamrock!  It looked like the perfect “Lilly” combination of color.

To give all the colors a softer, more vintage look, I stamped the Leaf Collection background on Basic Beige. The new Basic Beige card stock absorbs the ink really well and you can get some interesting looks.  Then I inked up Leaf Collection with Pretty In Pink and fussy cut a  large section in pink to layer as an accent. The sentiment is from Unbounded love as is the die. The die cuts a border and I like using the border as an accent piece. To add a little more interest, I ran the die using Pretty in Pink. And for an embellishment, what could be more “Lilly” than gold color butterflies?  I love the tropical look of this card. And being a girl from Florida, the Lilly Pulitzer” color combo hits home for me!

I also created another card using Pretty In Pink that I kept monochromatic. I used a patterned paper from the Unbounded Love  and I thought it gave the card such a soft, pretty look.  The entire Unbouded Beauty Suite is beautiful and features all the new In Colors. The sentiment and die cuts are all from the Unbounded Love Bundle. The Floral die cut is from the Flowers of Beauty Bundle.

I hope you enjoyed my looks using the new Pretty In Pink 2024-2026 In Color!
