Glow of Harvest with Painted Pumpkins

This is a card using the Designer Series Paper Glow of Harvest, which was $5 with an order of $75 or more. Then, I used the masks to make the pumpkins. The masks are from the September-December 2026 catalog coming out on September 1. They are so much fun to use.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Painted Pumpkins

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Golden Glow, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Glow of Harvest (August Product of the Month)

Ink: Early Espresso, Golden Glow, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Painted Pumpkins Masks, Painted Pumpkin Dies, Blending Brushes, Multipurpose Glue, and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

1. The base of the card is Golden Glow cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Crumb Cake cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the base.

3. The third layer is Glow of Harvest DSP cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and adhered to the front.

4. Use the mask to make the pumpkins using just the 4 of them, using Blending Brushes and ink pads. Adhere to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

5. Die-cut some leaves from the Painted Pumpkin Dies and adhere them behind the pumpkins.

6. Add the sentiment “Hello Gourd-geous” with Early Espresso ink and trim it out with snips. Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Painted Pumpkins - Two Fun Folds in One Card

It is almost September, so we made this card at my last card class. This is a fun-fold card, but it is two fun folds in one card. I learned how to make them from Karen Titus's PDF. Mine is a little different than hers because I used the masks to make my pumpkins instead of die-cutting them out from the Designer Series Paper. I also used a different Designer Series Paper called Autumn Opulence, and I used the colors in the DSP. This bundle will be available on September 1 with the stamp set, dies, masks, and the DSP . I love using the masks. Each one is numbered and has a notch so that you can line it up each time with the notch. I used my Stamp Positioner and magnets to hold them in place when using the blending brushes with a light touch, but whatever works best for you. Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Painted Pumpkins, Phrases & Frames

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon, Autumn Opulence DSP

Ink: Golden Glow, Pecan Pie, Peaceful Pine

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders (leaves), Painted Pumpkins Dies, Blending Brushes, Paper Pumpkin Masks, Painted Patch Adhesive Backed Dots, 1” Circle Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid

Glue

1. The base of the card is Cajun Craze cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle. On the left side of the card front, using the Paper Trimmer, cut from the score line 1-1/2 down. Glue that flap down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere strip of DSP cut at 1-1/4” x 4”.

2. Cut Lost Lagoon cardstock at 3-3/4” x 4” and insert into the Seasonal Cheer Mini EF (leaves) and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere the embossed Lost Lagoon to the right front flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. Die-cut a Very Vanilla gate with the Painted Pumpkins Dies. Use a Blending Brush and Pecan Pie ink to color the gate. Attach the gate to the Lost Lagoon with Mini Dimensionals. Cut hinges from Cajun Craze cardstock and attach to the gate.

4. Masking: Take a half sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock and insert it onto the Stamp Positioner, portrait style, up against the notches. Start with Mask #1. Put the little V-shaped notch at the top, and use a pencil to make a mark where to line it up each time. Use the magnets to hold it in place. With a Blending Brush, ink up with Golden Glow ink and stamp off the excess on scrap. Lightly blend over the mask. Now, take Mask #2 and line it up with the V, and go a little darker with the Golden Glow ink. Mask #3, use Pecan Pie and lightly ink it up. Mask #4: ink up the stems with Peaceful Pine ink. Now, die-cut them out. Adhere three of them in front of the gate.

5. Inside: Cut Very Vanilla cardstock at 3-3/4” x 8” and score at 4”. Adhere 3-3/4” x 4” DSP to the front, making sure the score line is at the bottom of the inside. Make a divot at the top of it with the 1” Circle Punch. Stamp sentiment with Cajun Craze ink.

Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder - Candy Canes

Here is the third card I made using Frenchie's video. I think this is my favorite of the three.

Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder - Bats - Fun Fold

This is another card I made using the Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder with the "blackout" technique. I should redo this one because I made a mistake. After I colored the Very Vanilla cardstock with the Blending Brushes, I forgot to insert the cardstock with the plain side up, with the Logo showing. I just reinserted it and tried again, and now I realize that didn't work very well.

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, and Basic Black

Other: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brushes, Seasonal Cheery Embossing Folders, Adhesive-Backed Ghosts, Bats and Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Cut another DSP at 2-5/8” x 5-3/8” and adhere to the middle section. Then cut Basic White at 2-3/8” x 5-1/4” and adhere to the right side of the Apple Green cardstock.

Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folders - Leaves

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. There are just not enough hours in a day to do everything I want to do. Last week, I started a crochet class because my friend wanted me to go with her. We both had mothers who crocheted and knew a few basics, but it's been a while. It comes back to you. We have another class next week. I will try to start posting more because I have made several cards this month. I'm starting to think about Fall and Christmas cards, so here is my latest Fall card. I learned the "blackout" technique from watching Frenchie's videos, and I wanted to use my Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folders.

Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder – Leaves

Stamp Set: Greetings for All Mix and Match Ephemera Pack #164862

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss

Ink: Crush Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brushes, Natural Matte Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

1. The base is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Old Olive cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the card front.

3. With Blending Brushes and ink pads, randomly add ink to 3” x 5” Very Vanilla cardstock. Insert into the embossing folder. The plain side should be face up with the logo showing when you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

4. After embossing, take a Blackberry Bliss ink pad and drag it across the top of the debossed side.

5. Take Blackberry Bliss cardstock, cut (2) at 1-1/2” x 5-1/4", and tear toward you on one side. Attach to the Very Vanilla embossed cardstock with the torn edges showing on both sides.

6. Wrap Linen Thread around 3 times and tie a piece onto the middle.
