#DOswts419 - Inspiration Hop - Fall

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.


Today's feature challenge is Fall Inspiration. I recently received my order of All About Autum 6x6 designer series paper. This paper really is very beautiful which is why it is on backorder again until week of 10/6/23. I decided to use the less traditional foil, side B, of each paper. I cut a 1/2" x 6" strip and adhered it to a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of very vanilla. 


Using the Deckled Circle dies (pg. 63 in new Mini catalog) I then die cut the strips on the vanilla cardstock into a large circle, which I then cut in half to adhere onto a layer of Very Vanilla. 

It was hard to decide which color to use for the base of the card, but decided the Mossy Meadow best pulled the gold foil color from each of the paper strips. With the elegant gold touches to the paper, I decided to emboss the sentiment in Gold onto scrap of Mossy Meadow. Blooming Pearls in gold are the final touch to this elegant card.

Scrapbooking Global - September 2023 -Mode Of Transport

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.


Today's challenge is brought to you by Sharon Dalton and is themed Mode of Transport which can be any type of transport memorialized in the layout.


I decided to turn to the Legendary Ride Die cuts to create a couple motorcycles. On our recent trip to visit out grandsons this summer, Grandpa bought them minibikes. They absolutely love them. The Motorcycle die cuts from the Legendary Dies create fabulous motorcycles. 


Their bikes happen to be the color of Calypso Coral and Parakeet Party, so these colors worked fabulous for the layout. I wasn't sure if the Delightfully Eclectic black and white design for the base layer would be too busy, but after I laid down the paper, I love it. 



Last but not least, to allow for more photos, I created a bookbinder style open card design so I can add 3 photos of each of them on their bike onto the page. 


I can't wait to add the photos to this page. I also need to add a title, which will likely be typed from my computer, but I haven't quite decided yet.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - September - Autumn

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.



Today features the monthly Stampin Dreams theme which for September is creating Autumn projects.

I do not have a lot of products to use for autumn, but this season is all about the beautiful colors. I decided to try an ink swiping technique with the Leaf 3D folder. I swiped 3 different colors in rows across the embossing folder on the side that has the Stampin' Up! logo. I then lightly sprayed the ink on the folder with water from my stampin spritzer, placed the paper in the folder and ran it through the embossing machine. 


Isn't this beautiful? I trimmed it down a bit more to fit the layer I wanted on my card and decided it needed another layer of very vanilla under it to help pop the colors on the card. 



I added the sentiment and a bit of ribbon under it. I love how the card turned out and will definitely make a few more of these for my thanksgiving cards. 

Card Details
  • Stamps
    • Courage & Faith
  • Paper
    • Copper Clay card base: 4 1/4 x 11 score at 5 1/2
    • Vary Vanilla layer 5 x 3 3/4; 
      • embossed layer: start with 5 1/4 x 4 and trim to 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 once it is dry from embossing
      • Sentiment die cut: 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 
  • Ink
    • Copper Clay 
    • Daffodil Delight 
    • Calypso Coral 
  • Other
    • Stampin Cut & Emboss 
    • Leaf 3D embossing folder

    • copper clay 3/8" textured ribbon 
    • Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.
