Fall is My Happiest Season for the PALS Blog Hop

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “My Happiest Season.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Fall is my happiest season. The weather becomes a little cooler, and the leaves turn to beautiful shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. These colors work beautifully together, and with the help of the stamp set Autumn Goodness, I am going to show you how they come to life.

Making the card

• To make the card, you will need a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Old Olive card stock.
• Adhere a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Terracotta Tile cardstock and attach to the card base using Stampin’ SEAL adhesive.
• Cut a 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 piece of Very Vanilla card stock, and with Water Painters, paint a sky and grass using Balmy Blue and Old Olive Ink. Once dry, adhere to the card.
• Stamp the flowers and pumpkins on Very Vanilla card stock using Tuxedo Memento black ink and color with Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends.
• Crop the colored images with the Autumn Wheelbarrow dies using a emboss & cut machine.
• Stamp the sentiment and cornstalks using VersaMark on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and heat emboss with Stampin’ Emboss gold embossing powder.
• Crop the cornstalks with the Autumn Wheelbarrow dies and the sentiment with 3rd smallest square from the Layering Squares dies.
• Crop a piece of Terracotta Tile using the 4th smallest square, a piece of Old Olive cardstock using the 5th smallest scallop square from the Layering Squares dies, and a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper using the fence die from the Autumn Wheelbarrow dies. Adhere the layers together.
• Adhere the cornstalks to the card using Stampin’ SEAL and the fence to the card using Foam Adhesive Strips.
• Cut a 8″ piece of Gold Metallic Ribbon and Old Olive Ribbon, form in a Z pattern, and adhere to the card with the sentiment on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Attach the flowers and pumpkins to the fence using glue dots.
