DOswts343 Beautiful Autumn Bundle meets the Apple Builder Punch



Hey Crafty Friends!  Today is another team hop with the STARS.  We have a sketch challenge that inspired me to use a few products from the upcoming August - December Mini Catalog that will go live on 4 August.  



Card Details
  • Paper
    • Cajun Craze - 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2", plus scraps
    • Pumpkin Pie - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2", plus scraps 
    • Plaid Tidings DSP - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" (available 4 August) 
    • Early Espresso - scraps
    • Whisper White - 4" x 4" 
  • Stamps 
    • Beautiful Autumn (available 4 August) 
  • Ink
    • Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze
  • Tools/Embellishments
    • Braided Linen Trim
    • Blender Pen
    • Autumn Punch Pack (available 4 August) 


TIP: I stamped the leaves on Whisper White, punched them out and used a Blender Pen to spread the color around.  This softened the leaves a bit so they did not look so stark white.  Used a sponge to add a bit of Pumpkin Pie ink to the sentiment punch to mute the bright Whisper White paper.

World of Good Masculine Card

Hey Crafty Friends!!!  How about a masculine card?  I truly struggle with making cards suitable for guys or just creating something gender neutral in general.  The World of Good DSP to the rescue.  My card today was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest posted by Scrappin' and Stampin' in GJ back in 2013.  I love making something old new again. 


Card Instructions

  1. Start with Basic Gray card base cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4".
  2. Cut five pieces of DSP 1" x 4" and punch one end of each strip with the Banner Pick A Punch.  
  3. Stamp desired sentiment on a lighter strip in Night of Navy or Early Espresso ink.  Sentiment used on this card comes from Free As A Bird stamp set. 
  4. Attach strips to a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Smoky Slate layer as pictured and trim off excess DSP. 
  5. Attach Smoky Slate layer to card base with Stampin' Seal+ adhesive and add Gilded Gems to finish the card. 


Tip: The Gilded Gems are the perfect embellishment for masculine cards.  The shape is strong and the color is perfect shade of gold.  Just enough shine for a guy to appreciate with out be too bedazzling.

Basket of Blooms

Hey Crafty Friends!! Once a month I participate in a 6x6 Swap where I swap six cards with the same six people for six months.  For my July swap I used the Basket of Blooms stamps and Small Bloom punch. 

I paired the the blooms with the In Good Taste DSP and the Touches of Textile Embossing folder.  So there are lots of textural elements in this card. 


Card Details
  • Paper 
    • Garden Green card base 8 1/5" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"
    • Night of Navy layer 5" x 2 7/8"
    • Garden Green layer 3 5/8" x 2 5/8"
    • In Good Taste DSP 3 1/2' x 2 1/2" stamped layer, 2" x 2" flower pot
    • Whisper White scraps for flowers 
  • Stamps 
    • Basket of Blooms 
  • Ink 
    • Garden Green, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Gorgeous Grape, Misty Moonlight, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White 
  • Tools/Embellishments
    • Touches of Textiles Embossing Folder
    • Small Bloom Punch 
    • Artistry Blooms Sequins 


I used the DSP sheet that had a plaster texture look with some blue for the flower pot.  Stamped the image with Misty Moonlight and then fussy cut it.   Also added a bit more color to the flower pot with M to add a bit more blue to the flower pot.  Stamped the leaf image in garden green ink onto wood grained DSP and randomly attached the blooms with dimensionals.  The flower pot was also attached with dimensionals. Artistry Blooms sequin added to each flower.
