SSBH - Nature's Palette - INK STAMPS PAPER

Welcome to this month's Stampin Sunday Blog Hop.

Our theme is Nature’s Palette, which couldn’t be more perfect for this time of year. Here in Wales, the trees are alive with stunning autumn colours—deep reds, golden yellows, and rustic oranges. It’s impossible not to feel inspired to bring these seasonal shades into our handmade cards.

Creating My Own Patterned Paper

One of my favourite techniques in cardmaking is creating my own patterned paper using Stampin’ Up! stamps. For this project, I stamped and layered different images to mimic the richness of autumn foliage.

I used the following Stampin’ Up! stamp sets:

• Gathering Moments

• Branching Out

• Christmas Greenery

• Impressions Abloom

• Gallery Blooms

Stampin’ Up! Ink Colours

The vibrant colour palette was built from these Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads:

• Cherry Cobbler

• Real Red

• Pumpkin Pie

• Timid Tiger

• Crushed Curry

• Darling Duckling

All of these were stamped onto Darling Duckling cardstock, giving a warm and earthy base.

To see how I stamped it, watch this video here

The Finished Autumn Card

Once my background paper was complete, I designed the finished card by keeping the colour scheme simple and cohesive. I paired Darling Duckling with Timid Tiger cardstock, then added a few delicate die cuts for texture and interest. The result is a card that perfectly captures the beauty of autumn.

Try This Technique Yourself!

If you love autumn card ideas or enjoy experimenting with Stampin’ Up! products, I encourage you to try creating your own paper with seasonal colours. It’s a fun way to make your projects truly unique.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Vacation Vibes

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop.

This month's theme is Vacation Vibes.  We've enjoyed a week away at our annual summer camp.  At the place we stayed there was a water fountain in a rose garden.  The new Builder Blossom stamp set that will be widely available in September was perfect for creating these blousy roses on this stamped one sheet wonder.  

I used part of the sheet to create a couple of slim line birthday cards.

Gems were added to the centre's for a bit of a highlight.

Sweet Things - Stampin Sunday Blog Hop

This was such fun! 

The theme set for this month's Stampin Sunday Blog Hop is

Simply Sweet

As I was thinking of yummy treats to eat, I thought about the british biscuit the Jammy Dodger.  It's an iconic shape and taste, loved by many here in the UK.

I looked at the circle dies I had and found a couple that worked well together, then used the Bee Builder Punch to cut out the heart shape.

Teamed with the "Just Because" sentiment from Softly Said, it makes the perfect all occasion card.

Here is the video of how I created it

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - The Weather Man

Thank you for popping by today, I'm so happy with this card for the

STAMPING SUNDAY BLOG HOP

The theme this month is "The Weather Man", I decided to choose a rainbow theme as a link to weather.  We get to enjoy some wonderful rainbows here in Mid Wales, the prevalence of the regular rain helps with that! 

I grabbed some card strips from my scrap pile and ran through the Timber 3D embossing folder after dousing it with Basic Gray Ink.

The colours I used were Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushell, Berry Burst, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.

Using the co-ordinating inks and blender brushes I applied some ink and some images in Smoky Slate.

The Sketched Butterfly stamp set and dies were perfect for creating a lovely focal cluster of butterflies.

After arranging them I couldn't resis splattering some ink using my Stampin' Blends.
