Welcome to Stamp It Group’s Summer Fun Blog Hop!

I’m so excited for you to be here today with us! My name is Mikki Winebrenner and I have a fun summer themed card for you today using Stampin’ Up To Market Suite Collection.

A little back story for you as to why I chose this Suite for a Summer Fun Blog Hop. When To Market was released I was super excited because my daughter and I attend our local Farmer’s Market every week during the summer and fall as vendors.

We have such a good time meeting new people, visiting with old friends, being present in our community supporting an amazing weekly event and just being outside. A bonus for us is that we have a beautiful garden in the market area.

Let jump on into this beautiful card I have for you. I will not be giving a photo walk through of the build of this card. Silly me only took 3-4 pictures of the process! OOPS!!! While the card itself looks a little complex, the hardest part is putting the basket and bag together!

Some products you will need are: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green and Pecan Pie Classic Stampin Pads. The entire To Market Suite Collection, Natural Polka Dot Trim and Linen Thread.

There is a full list of supplies below with links to the products.

The cardstock measurements are:

Garden Green 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2”

Blackberry Bliss 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 3-3/8” x 4-5/8”, 1/2” x 4-1/4”

To Market 12” x 12” DSP: 4” x 5-1/4”, 1-1/4” x 3-1/8”, 1” x 4-1/4”, 2-3/4” x 4-1/4” (x3), 2” x 2”

Basic White 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 3-1/4” x 4-1/2”

Scraps of Basic White and Pecan Pie for stamping images and sentiment.

The few photos I do have for you are actually very beneficial for those of us who are visual people. As I mentioned earlier, the building of the basket and the bag are the hardest steps in this card. Below are the images with explanations of what I did.

This is all of the stamped images that I also cut with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. The basket is from the DSP that I cut with my snips.

This is the bag and basket all put together. The basket will go on the inside and the bag on the card front.

1”x4-1/4” DSP and 1/4” x 4-1/4” Blackberry Bliss attached together with Linen Thread wrapped twice and tied in a bow. This will go on the card front as well.

This isn’t really a fun fold card but it does have a fun feature on the inside. I created a pocket with the DSP and there is an insert that can be pulled out and written on. I really like having an opportunity to write a special message in a card and this allows for that.
