Two Cards with Harvest Hellos

 Hey Y'all!

Fall is in the air! Now here in South Georgia, we don't get much of a fall season...most of the time it means the temps only get in the high 70's instead of the high 90's.  But it still means pumpkins, changing in the leaf colors, coffee by the firepit (my favorite!), and lots of other fun stuff. So on my FB Live last night, I chose to use Harvest Hellos to make these two cards.


This was the original card I made beforehand, and then I CASE'd it with the Pumpkin card below. One of the viewers asked how I colored the apple. I used Real Red and Mango Melody Light and Dark Stampin' Blends. 


I went old school and sponged the edges of several of the elements with Soft Suede ink.  I also embossed the Pool Party die cut with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. And, of course, I had to use my favorite background stamp, the Buffalo Check.

Tips and Tricks:
  • Whisper White Thick Cardbase 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 4-1/4, 2nd layer 4-1/8 x 5-3/8, Buffalo check layer 2 x 5-1/4
  • When using Background stamps with the Stamparatus, since you can't hold your paper down with magnets, put a small amount of adhesive on the back of the paper you are stamping on to hold it in place.

Get Well Card with Harvest Hellos Bundle

Hey Y’all!
I wanted to share this Get Well Card I made with the Harvest Hellos Bundle.
There is an Apple stamp and Pumpkin stamp, and the punch gives you both.  I added a scrap strip of DSP and Burlap Ribbon. I pulled it apart to make it a thinner strip, then used 2 of the strands to tie my bow.

I love the apple paired with the Buffalo Check background stamp...my favorite! I stamped it in Real Red ink with the Stamparatus so I could stamp it several times to get good coverage.  I also stamped the envelope flap...be sure to mask the rest of the envelope with a sticky note.  I colored the apples with the Stampin Blends. For the Apple slice, I used the Ivory Blend, then went over it with the color lifter. Memento Tuxedo Black ink is the ink you need to use when coloring a stamped image with Stampin’ Blends.
My card base is 8-1/2 x 5-1-2 scored at 4-1/4. Second layer is 4 x 5-1/4. I highly recommend using Thick Whisper White if you are using a white card base.
