Wow, it's been a few days since we have connected! I ended up leaving town again for a family situation that required my attention. I love that with my Stampin'Up! job, a big component is flexibility and I can be where I need to be most of the time, including pitching in when I need to. My stamp room is an utter disaster and I'm looking forward to some much needed organizational time and sorting this week. AND, OnStage is this week! I'm headed to Las Vegas and have the added privilege of presenting a 15 minute talk about recruiting! WOOHOO! I'm so excited for all of it and believe me, Las Vegas will feel good after the month or more of winter we have already had in Montana.
So, ready to see some cards? I am! I hope you've noticed the gorgeous bundle "Come to Gather" in the 2019 Holiday catalog. It is so warm, cozy and full of pumpkins and leaves. You will love this set and I invite you to check out what you can do with it! Here are some ideas:
My first idea shows off some Designer Series Paper in the "Come to Gather" set as well as the leaf dies which do a beautiful job of cutting and embossing. Aren't they gorgeous! I used some really rich autumn colors like Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Merry Merlot.
This card zeroes in on Pretty Peacock with two of the DSP patterns in the set as well as the wood leaves and twine that are part of the suite. I love the warm and gracious sentiment too.
This card features the large stamped leaf which I stamped in Early Espresso and then daubed in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler. There's another example of the DSP and also some more die cut/embossed leaves.
Anything "wood" is a popular design style so this DSP was perfect! I stamped and colored the pumpkins with our Stampin'Blends alcohol markers and also heat embossed my sentiment with white embossing powder. I added a little bit of Crumb Cake marker over the top of it to make it stand out more.
Finally, this paper also includes some non traditional color schemes for fall. This is soft and muted with Pool Party, Old Olive and Crumb Cake. Can you spot the leaf I cut out of our Mercury Glass acetate paper? That paper is so fun to use!
Here are couple of Stampin'Up! samples created by their concept artists!
If you love the fall season and themes of leaves, pumpkins, harvest and more, you'll love this fun set! You can click on any of the product images below and it will take you to the Online Store for easy ordering, or if you love to have personalized service, I'm happy to submit and order for you and deliver it in my local area. I can also have it sent to you directly from Stampin'Up! Sometimes you maybe have a few questions you want to ask before you send in an order so I'm here for help and advice!
It feels good to be back in the stampin' swing of things! Keep watching my blog for more creative inspiration and all the latest news, especially towards the end of the week when I'll be posting from Las Vegas!
Happy Stampin'!
Sarah
