Painted Pumpkins Sneak Peek!

I have an adorable sneak peek to share with you today!  I'm sharing the new Painted Pumpkins Bundle.  Oh. My. Goodness!  This bundle is sooo adorable!  I always love a pumpkin bundle and this was is so unique and fun I couldn't resist!  the bundle consists of stamps, dies, and masks.  The stamp set has some amazing greetings, the masks make adding color to the pumpkins quick and easy!  I'm hooked!  The bundle is part of the Painted Patch Suite.  The DSP and ribbon on the card are also from the suite.

For my pumpkins I used Blending Brushes and the masks to add color.  I used Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia for my purple pumpkin, for the orange one I used Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze.  I also used one of the masks for my background.  The pumpkins are adhered to the inside of the card.  The front of the card features a fun window.  If you love this bundle, watch in September-my first Class To Go will feature this bundle and the cards are incredible!

Ink Blended Mushrooms-Sweet Bugs Dies

I have a different style of card to share today.  I'm all about the cute, punny, whimsical card.  While I think that today's card could be classified as whimsical it's a little off what I normally do and I kinda love it!  I used the mushroom dies from the Sweet Bugs Dies.  I wanted them to stand out on a dark background.  The Moonlit Flora DSP is fantastic for this. I used the Everyday Arches to frame the scene and used the leaf die in Nature's Symphony to add detail to my card base.

To add detail to the mushrooms I used a Blending Brushes and Pecan Pie and Calypso Coral inks.  Don't worry about getting the shading perfect.  The messiness makes them look more natural. The greeting is from the Thoughtful Octopus Stamp Set. Finish the card with some twine and Natural Matte Dots.  So cute!

August In Person Class-Masculine and Sympathy Cards

My August in person class was so fun! We made cards with either a sympathy or masculine theme.  I'm excited to share the cards from my class with you.  Supply lists and measurements are reserved for the attendees of my class. If you're in the Albuquerque area I'd love to see you at a class.  Contact me at stamperrdn@myctl.com for details on my next in person class I'd love to welcome you to a class in 2026.

First are the sympathy cards.  These are cards we all need, no one likes to make them but we need to have them on hand.  I like to do a class of sympathy cards at least once a year.  The first one features the All Aflutter Stamp Set and Velvet Meadow DSP.   


Next, we used the Hot Foil System to make a stunner of a card.  When making sympathy cards I like to keep it simple.  So just a simple greeting on this card to finish it.  If you don't have a specific sympathy greeting look at greetings such as 'thinking of you' or like this card 'I'm here for you' from Banner Sayings.  


Again, keeping it simple.  Sympathy cards aren't the time to break out that complicated fun fold you've been wanting to try.  I used the Boutique Blossoms Dies and Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set.  You can find both in the Bloom Boutique Suite along with the DSP we used on this card. 


For the masculine cards, when designing these I used the same principals as mentioned above, keep it simple.  This card might be my favorite!  I used the Woodland Wishes Stamp Set for the bear, this is typically a Christmas Set but who says you can't use it for other occasions.  The greeting is from Banner Sayings and the background is embossed with the Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder, the leaf pattern. 


Finally, I used the Simply Leaves Bundle for another quick and fun card for a guy.  The greeting is from Nature's Symphony Stamp Set.  I love the bright greens against the Soft Sea Foam card base.  So fun! 


Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!

Today's card might just be my favorite of the week, though it's hard to choose.  I found this fun fold on a fellow demonstrators YouTube Channel.  Thanks to Creative Moments By G for this fun card inspiration!  The front of the card I used some DSP from the Beautiful Ordinary Life package and cut the cardstock in half diagonally in both directions, then used both sides of the DSP for the card.  So cute!  The cupcakes and balloon are fussy cut, you can always stamp them directly onto the octopus piece if you wanted too.

The left side of the card has a 'tower' that pops up out the envelope. I added a slim card next to the tower.  Lots of the images in the stamp set were used to make not only the octopus focal point, but the fun ocean scene on the card.

Today's card is sooo cute but super simple!  I think this would be a great card to mass produce if you needed a bunch.  Change up the greeting and you're set on any occasion!  The greeting is fussy cut but it would be equally as cute as circle popped up, a banner.  I used Basic Beige Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock to stamp the seahorses for the background.  It's an easy add that really makes the card pop.

For my octopus I stamped it in Secret Sea stamped off on scratch paper first. Then used the same ink for all the details. I added lots of Wink of Stella to make him sparkle. For the Baker's Twine bow I colored the White Baker's Twine with a Cloud Cover Stampin' Blend to match the card better.

The featured embellishment this class are the Moody Palette Glossy Dots.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.

This card is sooo cute!  There are no dies or punches with this bundle so we have to fussy cut.  Don't worry we're not fussy cutting every day I promise!  You can get as detailed as you want with the fussy cutting, or if you'd rather, stamp the octopus on a circle and add it to your card.  To get the dots on his head, the face and the tentacles to really stand out let your ink dry for a few minutes.  If you stamp them directly after each other the wet ink might bleed those elements a little instead of giving you the crisp lines you want.
