Stampin' Up! Tractor & Co pulling us into Autumn

 

Happy Autumn Y'all! The hay wagon from the Tractor & Co bundle is perfect to haul a bunch of Pumpkins!! Makes me think of going to the pumpkin patch or the apple orchard in the fall. 

When I was designing this card, the first thing that came to mind, was Dutch Door Fun Fold. 

This fun fold reminds me of a barn door. Perfect for my hay wagon!!

It is a pretty easy fun fold. It starts with a basic card base (5 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4). You then cut at 2 3/4 up to the score line, then cut along the score line to the cut line and remove that piece. The leftover piece will be used for the background mat of the focal point.

I matted the inside and stamped the pumpkins on the bottom.

The DSP, Embellishments, and Old Olive Twine are part of a new suite that will be available to order September 3rd. The suite is Gathering Together. The sentiment is from Words of the Season bundle, also available to order September 3rd. 

The Tractor & Co Bundle is available now in my online store.

From pink to traditional red - Stampin' Up! Tractor & Co

 

I went from a pink tractor yesterday to a traditional red tractor today.  

I know it's WAY to early to be thinking about Christmas...BUT if you want to get a jump on your Christmas card making then now is the time to start thinking about it. I love how this turned out! I love the tractor pulling the Christmas trees through the snow.  And of course all Christmas tractors have to have peppermint hub caps!! 

This card came together quickly. Which is always a bonus.

Here's the inside of the card.

The sentiment is from a stamp set that is in the new Mini Catalog (pg.52).

You can order from the new Mini Catalog September 3rd. The name of the stamp set is, Words For The Season. This also comes as a stamp and die bundle. If this isn't on your wishlist it really should be. This has Halloween, Christmas and New Years sentiments. I love the word dies too!! It's a great Holiday bundle!

New Online Exclusive Gathering Together Suite available September 5th 2025

I couldn't wait to start creating with the upcoming Gathering Together Suite (available to purchase September 5th). I love all things Fall!! I especially love crafting for the Fall season. The rich beautiful colors of Fall can't be beat! When I saw the dies from this suite, the first thing that came to mind was framed decor. I had two frames left from the Happy Houseplants kit that I needed to use. I used the mat from that kit as a template to cut the DSP Mat for my Fall frame. I die cut two leaves with 12x12 Earthen Toned Metallic Speciality Paper (available to purchase September 5th). I used the stamp and dies from the Gathering Together suite to embelish the corner of the frame. If you love Fall then this Suite is a must have 😊

Cling Stamps – Red Rubber

Stampin’ Up! is discontinuing cling stamps due to material shortages but will continue offering a wide range of photopolymer stamps.

Stampin’ Write Markers
Stampin’ Up! is retiring Stampin’ Write Markers due to declining sales and the shift from cling stamps to photopolymer.

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
Stampin’ Up! is making it easier than ever to keep your crafting supplies organized with new and improved stamp and die packaging! With thinner photopolymer stamps, the new packaging is slimmer, sleeker, and space-saving, perfect for any craft room.

Now, both stamps and dies come in the same size and style of packaging, making it simple to store coordinating bundles together. Plus, die packaging now features printed artwork so you can quickly see what’s inside, just like stamp packaging.

Packaging Highlights:

• Perfect size: 5-5/8″ x 9″ (14.3 x 22.9 cm)
• Clear design with artwork insert: Quickly see what’s inside—both stamps and dies now feature artwork for easy identification
• Showcase at 100%: Larger insert dimensions allow more stamp artwork to be displayed clearly
• Sleek and slim: Store more in less space
• Tuck-in flap closure: Open and close effortlessly
• Fits a variety of organization systems: Keep your crafting area neat and tidy

Scenic Adventures, Color Challenge, and Blending Brushes

My Upline, Melissa Faust hosts a weekly color challenge. I love participating in this challenge. Sometimes the color combinations are not what I would think to put together and that's why I love it. I love the colors (Blackberry Bliss, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape, and Timid Tiger) that were in last week's challenge, but I don't think I've ever put them all together. My first thought was a fall themed card, but nothing was coming to me. I had recently made a card with the Scenic Adventures bundle. I pulled that set out and the first thing I thought was Purple Mountains Majesty and the rest, as they say, is history 😉

I  knew I wanted to use bending brushes for this card. I started by punching a 2 inch circle from masking paper and stuck it on my basic white cardstock mat.I started blending at the bottom with Blackberry Bliss, next Timid Tiger, then Blueberry Bushel, next Gorgeous Grape and last Blackberry Bliss ink. I went over it again with the colors to get the desired color I wanted. I removed the masking circle and used a spritzer with water to make spots for stars. I used a blending brush with Timid Tiger over the white circle left from masking. Because it was still wet I got the darker spots on the moon.

I die cut the mountain with Basic White cardstock and used Blending Brushes and ink to color the. The trees are die cut with Blackberry Bliss cardstock. 

I hope this inspires you to try something new. Whether it be a color combination you've never tried, or a technique you havent done in awhile.

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

The Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is a must have, in my opinion 😁 It is so beautiful and versatile. The Folder does all the work for you to create stunning cards! There are so many fun and different techniques to try with it. Here are a few cards I've made using it.

Click here to checkout the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder in my on-line store.

For this card I started with a Pecan Pie cardbase. I ran a Basic White cardstock mat through the Stampin Cut Emboss machine with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I then used Blends to color the suflowers. I used the Delightful Wishes Stamps and dies for the sentiment. I matted a piece of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock. I embellished my card with Linen Thread and Drusy Embellishments.

For this card I started with a Darling Duckling cardbase.  I ran a Darling Duckling cardstock mat through the Stampin Cut Emboss machine with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I matted a piece of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Basic White Cardstock mat. I fussy cut the Sunflower that I embossed on a Basic White Cardstock mat. I then colored with blends. The sentiment is from the More Messages Bundle. I embellished with Linen Thread, Wink Of Stella, and 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Check out my reel to see how I made this card.
