September Pal’s Blog Hop – My Favorite Season!

Welcome to the Pals September 2018 Blog Hop. The 2018 Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! is out and the Pals are excited! Sit back while we share creations from “Our Favorite Holiday.”

You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My card reflects the love I have for my favorite season:  Fall!  Living in Northern Minnesota, I love watching the leaves change and the colors turn to rich oranges, yellows, and burgundies.  I also love the First Frost bundle, so I thought there MUST be a way to combine my love of Autumn with this beautiful stamp set and dies to create a lovely fall bouquet.

My card started with a card base of Crumb Cake.  I added a panel of Country Lane Designer Series Paper (the one with the wood grain) measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″.  I then took my new Frost White Shimmer Paint (fresh from the Holiday Catalog) and put a dime-sized amount on a clear acrylic block.  I then stamped the leaf-shaped stamp from Colorful Seasons into the shimmer paint on the block, making sure it was coated evenly.  Then I stamped some leaf patterns onto the wood-grained paper.  It’s beautiful and shimmery in person!  There is also a new Rich Copper Shimmer Paint that I don’t have yet — think how beautiful that would be on this fall card!  Try it out!

Next, I stamped some flowers from the First Frost stamp set onto Thick Whisper White card stock.  You can build any bouquet you’d using the fall colors of your choice!  I used Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze.  I cut the flowers out using the First Frost dies.  From there, I stamped the sentiment from Abstract impressions in Chocolate Chip ink onto a scrap of wood-grained paper from the Wood Textures DSP.  Then I cut some little branches from both the copper and merlot Joyous Noel 6 by 6″ Glimmer Paper.  Finally, I started building my bouquet, using Stampin’ Dimensionals and SNAIL Adhesive.  So fun, and you can do whatever you want to!

The First Frost Bundle will be a versatile set you can use all year long!  Take a look at the beautiful products included in this bundle:
