Don’t we all need a fabulous day every now and then? And speaking of fabulous, how gorgeous are these pumpkins??? I have had so much fun playing with color combinations and the Painted Pumpkins masks.

The background on the Nested Essentials Dies panel is from Fern and Flora, and I keep reaching for it. F&F is a great set, and this textured image is a double bonus.

I’m hooked playing with color combos for these pumpkins. If you have a suggestion for a combo I would love to hear it! I’m always looking for new ideas 😉

GARDEN GATHERINGS WITH A WINDOW

I held off getting Garden Gatherings. It’s a game I play with myself. But I’m much smarter than that other girl, and I almost always win the game 😁

Stamp the stems twice. In one case, add the flowers and die cut. In the second, stamp the vase over the stems and die cut the vase. Glue the two together to get stems in the water.

The Water and Dotted lines masks are a great way to add the texture of a background stamp. It’s easy to control the intensity of the color by the amount of ink and brushing on your Blending Brush. The masks are 12×12 so there are lots of options – check them out in the Online Store!

AN EASY MOONLIT FLORA COLLAGE WITH THE ROUNDED RECTANGLE PUNCH

I’m a big fan of quick and easy. The hardest part of making this card is choosing from all the gorgeous patterns in the Moonlit Flora Designer Series package. Once you’ve made those decisions, you’re practically finished with the card.

Stamp the framed image on Old Olive card stock with Old Olive ink and punch it out. Emboss your greeting on Golden Glow card stock and die cut it with the smallest Nested Essentials rectangle dies – it happens to be a perfect fit! Wind the ribbon back and forth between those two pieces, no need to tie a knot. Stampin’ Seal holds it in place!

I find it easiest to punch all my rectangles and arrange them on my front panel, then adhere them. When I shared this project with a group earlier this month, there were a lot of variations on the layout of these shapes. Go ahead and have some fun! Everything you need is in the Online Store.
