#tgifc341 Color Challenge Stampin' Up! Pretty Pumpkins Baby Shower Card

Hi there! Happy Friday. I sure hope that you have had a wonderful week. I am happy to be back with you today to share this week's TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

I love how soft and pretty this combo is, and I love how it can be used for so many occasions! Of course, I think it's a trendy Fall color combo right now, but I happen to be throwing a good friend of mine a "Little Pumpkin" baby shower in a few weeks and I knew this would be a great combo for a special card for her.

It's even better because their last name is GOLDEN! LOL! So I had to use the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper for the "daddy" pumpkin, and gold embossing powder on the "mommy" and "baby" pumpkin. Yes, they are expecting a boy, so it truly was perfect!

I'm grateful for you stopping by today! I would love to be able to help you with all your Stampin' Up! needs if you are in the US. Here is a linked shopping supply list for you, and when you order over $50 using the hostess code VZW3R6W2, you can choose any of my PDF Tutorial Bundles for Free.

PCC310 Tic-Tac-Toe Stampin' Up! Colorful Seasons

Hello! Long time no see, I know. I'm still recovering from my surgery on my right hip last month, and this one seems to be a little harder than the left one that I had in May. I had tried to get ahead before surgery, but, well... Life. Anyhow, I am back, at least for this challenge. Standing too long and sitting too long hurt, so time in the stamp room is hit or miss.

I chose to use the Colorful Seasons stamp set to create my card featuring Leaves, Fancy Fold, and Baker's Twine. I originally planned to do a typical "Fall" card with the Leaves, but I decided to switch things up a bit. I won't say this is the best card I've made, or one of my faves, but after not stamping for a month - I think it's pretty good.

I did try to add a lot of detail. The base of the card is Petal Pink cardstock, with the delicate leaf image stamped in Blushing Bride ink. I added Gold Heat embossing, and lots of special touches thanks to the Big Shot and our awesome embossing folders and dies!!!

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card

#TGIFC123 Color Combo Challenge and WCBH - Step It Up! Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest

Happy Friday! I have ANOTHER two for one week for you. Last week it was #tgifc122 and Fancy Friday, this week it is #tgifc123 and the We Create Blog Hop! I love the color combo for tgif this week, so I thought it would be great to show how you can use this fun color combo to inspire you to create a card that is easy to "Step Up!"

please make sure to click on the image above to see all the great inspiration at the #tgif challenges blog this week

A few weeks ago I pre-ordered a great new Stampin' Up! Set that is NOW AVAILABLE!!! It's called Painted Harvest. I hadn't had an opportunity to use it until this week, but my goodness, what a gorgeous set!

The two cards are very similar, the first one being a great, fairly quick and simple card.

I stamped the sunflower image in Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango, then cut it out. That was the hardest part of the card. It really was an easy card. After I placed it on the Soft Sky Square I cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

I made just a few adjustments for the "stepped up" version -

I added a little interest to the background by randomly stamping the sentiment in Peekaboo Peach ink on the coordinating cardstock. I decided to play off the watercolor look of the main image by creating a simple watercolor wash on some Shimmery White cardstock to go behind the sunflower. I also added a few of the tiny black sequins from the Mini Sequin Trim. not a lot of changes, but a BIG impact!

Please enjoy the rest of the blog hop - Lynn is up next, can't wait to see what's she's come up with.

Here is the list of supplies that I used. By clicking on the images below, you can the items directly to your cart so that you can create this card, and MANY other projects too!!!

OSAT Blog Hop - Designer's Choice

Ta-Dah! I'm excited to be joining this great Blog-Hop team for a fun, monthly hop! This month's theme is a "Designer's Choice" and the only guideline set was to create a project and a card!

It's STILL in the 100s here and I am ready for some September weather. It looks like I will have to wait 2 more weeks or so according to the extended forecast.... blehhhhh....

So to get me in to the Autumn mood anyhow (take THAT weather!) I decided to combine two great sets from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, Acorny Thank You and Among the Branches....

I love the crispness of the Whisper White, Kraft and Embossed Gold...

I can't seem to get over Calypso Coral, Gold and Pool Party together! TIP: To get a little more depth to these, I inked the solid bottom part of the acorn and stamped it on scrap paper first, then stamped it on Whisper White without re-inking to give me a lighter shade, then the patterned top pieces I stamped like normal!

Those crinkled up circles under the acorns are actually from the Sketched Dots Tag A Bag Gift Bags. TIP: To easily punch out the glassine paper these are made with, slide a piece of scrap cardstock inside the bag and punch away!

Don't miss opportunities to add texture! TIP: I simply pulled the boxes apart at the seam and ran them through the Big Shot with the AWESOME, "have to have it" Woodland embossing folder and then glued them back together.

This fun little trio of embellished Mini Treat Boxes just HAD to have a coordinating card, right?

This was such a fun ensemble to put together, and I hope that you enjoyed it, maybe even found some inspiration in it somewhere.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the rest of the Hop. Your next stop is Terri Takashige!

Show all the bloggers some serious love, k my friends???

I'll be back on Friday with some fun #TGIFC inspiration!

Perfectly Preserved Orchard Harvest Tutorial

Looks like there had been a little bit of a posting issue and some of my directions had been left off. If you viewed the tutorial prior to today, it appears to be fixed. If you have not yet, you are in luck!
