VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Pick of the Patch Autumn Card + Punch Tip

There are many ways to use Stampin' Up! Decorative Masks (aka stencils). Earlier this month, I shared another fall card that I created with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks along with some extra project ideas from Stampin' Up!. (See post.) You can use sponge daubers, blending brushes, embossing paste, markers, and other mediums to create unique backgrounds and focal images. For today's card, I used sponge daubers to create a simple color-on-color background for this autumn card featuring the Pick of the Patch bundle from the Sept-Dec 2023 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. 

Here's a tip for conserving paper and stamping and punching both pumpkins using the Pick of the Patch Builder Punch at the same time!

• Punch out a piece of scrap cardstock.
• Put the cardstock flat on your work surface.
• Line up the stamps inside the punched cardstock scrap.
• Place the clear block over the stamps to pick them up.
• Stamp & punch!

I changed out the bottom piece and used the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask in the card above, but the technique is still the same. Watch the replay of the video tutorial for this card:

VIDEO: Tips for Using Soft Pastels Assortment

When I joined Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator 19 years ago, I received an assortment of Chalk Pastels in my Starter Kit. I loved use the chalks to color images and quickly learned some fun techniques with them. It's been many year now since those chalk palettes were retired, but Stampin' Up! introduced some new Soft Pastels in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I brought back some of my favorite techniques when I shared these cards earlier this month during Thursday Night Stamp Therapy.

One of my favorite techniques is "Poppin' Pastels" -- stamp an image in Versamark ink and brush the Soft Pastels over the image to "stick" to the ink. I used this technique to make both of these cards. Which one do you prefer? Clean and simple or a pop of extra color with the added designer paper?

You can also use the chalks to color -- apply directly to the paper and blend or pick up the color from the chalk pastel using a Water Painter or Blender Pen.

I love the Dandy Garden Suite! Although the stamp sets and coordinating dies and punch are going to carry over to the Annual Catalog, the designer paper, ribbon, embellishments, and Memories & More cards are all retiring on June 30. While supplies last, get a discount on most of it during the Last Chance Sale! 

Here are two cards that I made with the Dandy Garden Memories & More Cards plus the Dandy Garden Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. I used a sponge dauber to create a blended background on the card base to add more color. And on the first card, I colored the dandelions with the chalks to customize it.

VIDEO: Timeless Tropical Birthday Card CASE

I love the simplicity of this card in it's layout, but there are a couple tricks to making it! If you look closely, you'll see that the trees are not completely die cut! And the Label Me Lovely punched tag is a little different than the original punch shape!

I CASEd this card from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. If you love the look of the Tropical Oasis designer paper, make sure to get it before it retires! The trinkets have already sold out!

Watch the replay of this quick Facebook Live from back in March for tips on how to manipulate the die and punch to create this card.
