Ready for Autumn Gatherings? Here’s a Happy Harvest Blessings Card

By anamarie | October 21, 2018

Just Stamp | Country Home Autumn Blessings Zoom

I’m no farmer, and I won’t be harvesting any crops this year, but I’ll still celebrate Thanksgiving this November 22. No matter how big or small the feast, no matter how many friends and family gather, turkey or no turkey — gratitude and blessings are the order of the day.

Since the gatherings seem to be shrinking in my household every year, sending hand-crafted greetings seems apropos. It’s a great way to tell someone they’re in my thoughts despite their absence at the table.

Stampin’ Up!’s Country Home 14-piece stamp set has all the trendy farmhouse elements and sweet sentiments one needs to create kind greeting cards or photo album pages. Pair it with the rich fall colors and designs of the Country Lane Designer Series Paper and create away. I used this card to jump start my creativity. Stampin' Up! Country Home

Stampin' Up! Country Lane Designer Series Paper

Here’s What I Did to Make a Happy Harvest Blessings Card

Create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4″ Mint Macaron card base using the Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score. Cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to 5 x 3 /3/4″. Ink the raised side of the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad and emboss the card stock using the Big Shot. Adhere to the card base using Multi-Purpose Glue.

Trim a 1 x 5″ piece of the Early Espresso wood print DSP and a 2 x 4″ piece of the Mint Macaron/Whisper White cotton DSP. Adhere to the card base with Multi-Purpose Glue.

Using the Black Memento Pad stamp the cotton floral and pitcher images on a 2 3/4 x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Crop using the second largest of the ovals from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and the Big Shot. Add color using the Light Crumb Cake, Light Blackberry Bliss, Light Pool Party and Light Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends. Adhere using Multi-Purpose Glue.

Stamp the pitcher on Galvanized Metallic Paper. Hand-snip the pitcher without the handle and adhere using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stamp the sentiment on to a piece of Mint Macaron in Early Espresso ink. Trim and adhere using one Stampin’ Dimensional on the right and Multi-Purpose Glue on the left.

Embellish with a small bow tied using 3/16″ Braided Linen Thread.

Halloween Takeout Treat Boxes

Just Stamp | Halloween Takeout Treats Boxes

Come October first, it’s officially Bring on the Candy Season for me. Of course, I like to share the sugar and treats as small gifts for loved ones all through the month. Look at the adorable Halloween Takeout Treat Box I created to present the treats to my canine, feline and human pals. The witchy pooch and mummy kitty warm my heart and make me smile.

Stampin’ Up!’s Trick or Tweet, Spooky Sweets and Takeout Thinlits Dies helped create the take away boxes super easily.

Stampin' Up! | Trick or Tweet

One of the sentiments, along with the spooky bats that can be quickly cropped with the set’s coordinating Spooky Bats Punch, was borrowed from Spooky Sweets. For another Just Stamp project using Stampin’ Up!’s Trick or Tweet stamp set, click here.

Here’s What I Did to Make the Halloween Takeout Treat Boxes

Using the Big Shot, die cut two box thinlits in Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape. As the Big Shot cuts, it also creates the score lines needed to construct the box. Apply Tear & Tape Adhesive on one base and along the tabs to assemble.

Just Stamp | Halloween Takeout Treat Box

Stamp the characters with Memento Black on Whisper White cardstock. To create the circle bursts — the hat point and tail curve that burst out of the circle — hand snip only around the edges. Slip the 1 5/8″ circle thinlit from the Layering Circles Framelits under the snipped image area before cranking through the Big Shot. Add color using Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

Punch Crushed Curry and Gorgeous Grape circles using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Adhere beneath the stamped images, then adhere to box.

Stamp sentiments on Basic Black (VersaMark Pad) and Granny Apple Green (Memento Pad). Use Whisper White Embossing Powder. Crop to size and adhere.

Stamp trio of bats on Whisper White and crop with the Spooky Bats Punch. Adhere using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

Add the finishing touch: a 12″ ribbon of 3/8″ Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon

Voilá! Now that we have made an adorable treat box to gift four- and two-legged pals, I must confess that I feel somewhat of an enabler. My health conscious son lectures me on the evils of sugar that is temptingly packaged as cookies, chocolates, candy … Now, we have gone yet a step further to package the already temptingly packaged sweets into adorable takeout boxes. Do I feel guilty? Not enough to stop the practice!

How ’bout you? Leave a comment if you love gifting treats in cute packaging too.

Halloween Greeting From the Dog — Or You

Just Stamp | Trick or Tweet | Halloween Greetings from the Dog

Have you stepped inside your local pet supply store? It’s clear Halloween isn’t just for humans anymore. Your canine or feline companion can participate in a costume contest and enjoy holiday treats just like their human.

So today I offer the holiday greeting created with Stampin’ Up!’s adorable Trick or Tweet stamp set. You or your canine or feline companion can send it off to a favorite pal — two-legged or four-legged. Months ago when I first cracked open my Holiday Catalog, Trick or Tweet was the first set on my wish list.

Stampin' Up! | Trick or Tweet

Here’s What I Did to Create My Halloween Greeting From the Dog

Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ Gorgeous Grape card base trimmed and scored with the help of the Stampin’ Trimmer.

Just Stamp — Trick or Tweet Dog Zoom | Halloween Greeting from the Dog

Using the Stamparatus, Memento Pad and the must-have Buffalo Check background stamp — also from the Holiday Catalog — stamp the background on to Whisper White cardstock and trim to 4 x 5 1/4″. Adhere to card base.

Use the Big Shot and the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, emboss a 2 1/2 x 4 1/4″ wide Pumpkin Pie scrap. Trim to 2 1/2 x 4″ and adhere to card.

Crop a circle using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the dotted Lemon Lime Twist pattern from Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper. Adhere to card using Dimensionals.

Stamp the costumed hound on Whisper White. Add color using Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Crop using the 2″ Circle Punch. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black on Whisper White measuring 1 x 1 3/4″. Snip the ends with the Banner Triple Punch and tuck behind the focal point circle.

Add the finishing touch — a sparkly bow created with Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
