Stitched With Whimsy Dies

Circle Sayings Birthday Card

Circle Sayings Card Class, Card 2

Circle Sayings Birthday Card

We are on to the next card from my Weekly Card Class From ME. And this week features the Circle Sayings Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. While this card is so pretty in pink, I have pulled in a couple of deeper colors for contrast.

All of the tones on this card are new colors to the Stampin’ Up! Family. Want to see our first card in the newest blue tone using the Circular Sayings Bundle? Click here.

Bubble Bath Pink

As mentioned above, this Circle Sayings Birthday Card features brand new colors. The card base here is in Bubble Bath, an adorable pink that has purple undertones to it. This sweet pink color is perfect for baby girl cards, ballet pink cards, and sugared cupcake cards too!

Circle Sayings Stamp Set

The Circle Sayings Stamp Set has both sentiments and images that work perfectly with the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and without! For my card, I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment and used it to create an awesome background in Bubble Bath Ink on White Cardstock.

I stamped the Celebrate sentiment in Moody Mauve Ink, a new In Color, on White Cardstock that I punched with the circle punch. The words “celebrate” form a circle on the stamp, so I only had to ink and stamp once to get the image that you see here.

Cupcake Designer Series Paper

For the cupcake on my Circle Saying Birthday Card, I chose to stamp the wrapper on Bubble Bath designer series paper.

I chose the polka dot pattern from the Subtles Collection, and stamped in Copper Clay Ink. Next, I fussy cut the wrapper and adhered it to another cupcake image that I stamped and fussy cut from White Cardstock.

Rustic Harvest Online Class

Rustic Harvest

Autumn is in the air, and the Rustic Harvest Suite is perfect for celebrating fall! In fact, this elegant set transitions from September thru Thanksgiving with its timeless stamps, dies and more. Take a closer look at the cards from this online class., or watch the class here.

Clean and Simple Pumpkin

For my first card, I chose to work with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies to create my pumpkin. If you look closely, you can tell that the pumpkin body is made up of 2 different dies and adhered together. I used a Blending Brush and some Cajun Craze Ink to give my pumpkin a little color.

And speaking of color, most of this card is Very Vanilla. I also used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies to add background interest. I heat embossed the sentiment from the stamp set Hello Harvest in gold embossing powder. My accent trim and embellishments also shine with golden tones.

When you are heat embossing, rub the Emboss Buddy Anti-Static Pouch over your cardstock before stamping your image in VersaMark. And if you have any stray bits of unwanted powder, use a small, dry paintbrush to carefully remove the powder before heat setting.

Designer Series Paper Card

This lovely flower card on Merry Merlot was so easy to put together. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper is my focal point, so the only thing I had to stamp was my sentiment. I chose white embossing powder on black cardstock because I wanted the “chalk like” effect of the paper to continue.

Do you love this banner die cut from the Rustic Pumpkin Dies? It adds a grand flourish without effort. Another effortless part of this card is the embossed texture from the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. By the time I put all these amazing elements together, the only thing I needed to add was the pearls!

For the Love of Leaves

During my live class, I always save the most detailed card for last. And this one is a spectacular way to end the Rustic Harvest Card Class. Again, I pulled paper from the Rustic Harvest collection and chose colors to match. The deep Mossy Meadow helps to tone down a traditional red, orange and yellow leaf card.

Speaking of leaves, I really gave this oak leaf stamp from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set a good workout. I stamped around my card base before adding on my layers. And I used the matching leaf die to cut out additional Mossy Meadow leaves for accents. Of course, I had to add some colorful fall leaves in too. And this sentiment is heat embossed in copper powder.
