Above It All Plaid

I have one more project using the Above It All Bundle, well, just the stamp set on this one.  I know you're looking at this card and thinking, "I don't think she did use the stamp set".  Check out that plaid pattern though, every single line is stamped with the wire stamp from the Above It All Set.  Using just that stamp, stamped repeatedly in different colors I made a really fun plaid background to a fun card!

I pulled out the Pick Of The Patch Set for some adorable pumpkins and I used my Alphabet A La Mode Dies for my greeting. I die cut them in the Soft Shimmer Paper for some extra sparkle.  TIP: Add an Adhesive Sheet onto your paper before die cutting for easy gluing!  While I only used the stamp sets Above It All and Pick Of The Patch, I linked the bundles below. Trust me if you love the stamps you'll want the bundles!  I have a full supply list below you can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Shimmer Above It All

Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Above It All Bundle.  Today I'm sharing another card with the same bundle.  I used the same measurements of everything but changed out the colors for a completly different look.  Instead of stamping the tram card I used the dies to create my tram car.  I used lots of specialty paper for lots of added sparkle and shine.  My tram car is all die cut from the Soft Shimmer Paper and I used Silver Foil for the mechanism.  So much sparkle!

I used a range of blues for my ink blended background and went with Pecan Pie cardstock for my mountains.  My greeting is from the Go To Greetings Set.

Bubble Bath 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Berry Burst 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Above It All Sunset Ink Blended Background Card-VIDEO

I am so excited to share this card with you today!  It is a stunning card, I don't think the pictures do it proper justice.  I'm using the Above It All Bundle from the Mini Catalog.  This is a really fun and different bundle then we've had I love it!  I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and here we have the Sandia Peak Tram, when I saw this set.  I immediately thought about our tram.  It's a fun adventure and I highly recommend it if you're visiting the city.  The thought behind this card was a New Mexico sunset with the mountains below.  I love it!  It's perfect!  

I ink blended the background, check my supply list below for all the colors that I used.  Ink blending can be a bit of an arm workout.  The more you blend the smoother the color will become so if you're not happy with the look when you begin, keep going!    I used some Wink Of Stella to splatter lots of 'stars' and sparkle on the background.

I stamped my tram car in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.  The mountains are die cut with the dies and I LOVE the details they give on the mountains.

Fresh Start

If you've been waiting for the Trucking Along Bundle to return to the Online Store, it's almost time!  This bundle is scheduled to be back in stock the week of October 9, keep checking early though, sometimes things come into stock early.  I have another fun card to share with you featuring this set.  I used strips of cardstock in Copper Clay, Old Olive and Crushed Curry to cover the card front of my card.  These were all just scraps of varying widths that I trimmed to 4 1/4" long and just adhered them to the front of the card.  This is a fun way to use scraps and make a great background.  To make my truck pop I added a die cut circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and some Vellum.  

stampin up, trucking along

My truck is stamped in Copper Clay, then filled in with the solid truck image and stamped with Copper Clay, stamped off once.  I used Stampin' Blends to color the wheels and sunflowers in the bed of truck.  I always add a touch of Pool Party to the windows for a finishing effect.  I finished the card with some Linen Thread and In Color Dots.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Check for the Trucking Along Bundle the week of October 9, or before.  The stamp set is available now in my Online Store.

Sending Sunny Thoughts

I am so excited to bring you some fun inspiration using the Trucking Along Bundle.  Over the next couple of weeks I'll be showing some samples made with this bundle.  This bundle was released in July as an Online Exclusive.  It sold out remarkably quickly, they ordered more and it sold out quickly again!  It's a popular bundle and if you want it you need to be ready to jump on it when it arrives back in stock.  At the moment of typing this it is scheduled to be back in stock the week of October 9.  You can get the stamp set in my Online Store.  The punch is what we're waiting on.  If you just want the stamp set you're good to go now. The bundle and the set are linked below.  Check back starting the first week of October for this bundle, sometimes things arrive early.

Autumn Is Beautiful

If you loved the Autumn Leaves Box I shared with you yesterday, you'll love this one too.  I went with some more traditional fall like colors for this card.  I absolutely love this greeting, "Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful"  Isn't that great!?!  I know that I struggle with change of any kind so this is a great reminder that not all change is bad, sometimes it can lead to wonderful things.  

stampin up, autumn leaves

The DSP is from the Garden Walk DSP and my colors for the card are chosen directly from the DSP.  I stamped leaves in Pretty Peacock and Poppy Parade and die cut leaves from Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat.  The detail on the leaves was die cut from the Rose Gold Foil Paper, available in my Online Store.  Make sure you use an Adhesive Sheet on the back of the leaf detail before die cutting.  This will make adhering it soooo easy!!!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.
