Thank you for joining me this evening for our Fall Theme Blog Hop! I am excited to have you here!
My name is Mikki Winebrenner and today I have a fun and fall card for you using Stampin Up’s Online Exclusive stamp set Scenic Pumpkin Patch.
I will also have a little sneak peak for you with the new Autumn Expressions Stamp set which will be available in September in the Mini Catalog.
Last month I did a Christmas Card using this same set and I wanted to show you all how it can also be used for the “proper” season.
The card does require the use of 7 different colors and is a very stamp heavy card front. There’s A-LOT of stamping with this one!
First let’s get the easy part out of the way! Measurements for the paper are pretty basic:
Cajun Craze: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” score at 4-1/4”
Thoughtful Journey DSP: 4-1/8” x 5-3/8”
Basic White: 4” x 5-1/4” (x2)
Ink colors that I used in this one are: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly.
The color combination may not make sense but it does I promise!
You will need 4-5 blending brushes, I used both small and large ones but did find the smaller ones were a bit easier to work with.
THERE IS A FULL LIST OF PRODUCTS BELOW WITH LINKS AND PRODUCT NUMBERS.
For the card front I recommend that you use your best judgment on placements and even colors.
I used Wild Wheat for the wheat, Cajun Craze for the barn and trees, tree base and barn roof are Early Espresso.
The sky and clouds are Lemon Lolly, Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight.
To add depth between the Wheat and the barn, I layered colors and blended them with the blending brushes. I did add lighter tones in spots to give it a less of a flat landscape.
The sentiment is stamped in Wild Wheat and I fussy cut it out. I added a very light bit of Lemon Lolly to set it off.
Making a sneak peak are Wild Wheat 3/8” Rustic Striped Ribbon and Faux Glass Dots which can also be found in the Mini Catalog annd all belong to the Splendid Autumn Suite Collection.
Normally I would have a PDF for you to download but as life has been its normal crazy I was not able to get one prepared. I will get something up here for you all with measurements and products for you to download soon.
