Looking for an all-around great Fall Stamp Set?  Grab the Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Stamp Set and the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin Dies.  Today's card features the pumpkin and one of the sunflowers from the Hello Harvest set, along with one of the Back & White prints from the Rustic Harvest 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  I colored the pumpkin with Blends Markers, and the small sunflower with Crushed Curry and Soft Suede inks applied with a Water Painter.   I also dry embossed the Cajun Craze basecard using the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for a subtle addition to the overall Fall theme.  To finish, I added a twine bow from the Baker's Twine Essential Pack to the stem of the pumpkin along with one of the decorative vine die cuts from the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. I also added two sizes of Pale Papaya In Color Opal Rounds to add a touch of bling to the card.  This would make a great card to let someone know you're thinking of them especially around the Fall holidays. 


fall Greeting card with pumpkin and leaves from Hello Harvest Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


This card uses a Cajun Craze Cardstock basecard dry embossed using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to add subtly raised leaf images to the card front.  Then I chose a Black and White Leaf print Designer Series Paper from the Rustic Harvest Suite, and matted it with a very thin matte of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.  I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a stitched square of Basic White for my image layer.  


Pumpkin-themed Greeting Card using Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Stamp Set


Then, I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock.  I colored it with Pumpkin Pie Blends and Die Cut it using the Rustic Pumpkin Dies.  I also die cut a Mossy Meadow vine to add to the stem of the pumpkin.  I mounted the pumpkin on dimensionals.  Before I added the pumpkin to my stitched die cut square, I stamped a small sunflower on to the square, and colored it using Crushed Curry ink and Soft Sued ink applied using Water Painters.

To finished the card, I added the pumpkin to the stitched Basic white square, and added a bow of Crumb Cake Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.  I secured it using Glue Dots.  Then I added two Pale Papaya Opal Rounds  from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds Pack.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Stamp Set perfect for Fall Greeting Cards

            

  • Stampin' Up Soft Seedlings Stamp Set
  • Weekly Specials - 1, 8, 15, 22 of September 
  • New Bundles-- called Perfect Partners--available only during September
This stunning card, using the Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Stamp Set, was created by one of my out-of-town team members, Debbie Bourne.  It is a beautiful use of this stamp set, and perfect for Fall card making.  The stamp is colored with multiple fall colored inks, applied with Sponge Daubers or by using three colors of reinkers on a fuzz-free baby wipe used as a temporary ink pad. This is a combination of an Old Olive and Highland Heather and a bit of Crumb Cake. I can picture this with Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze for another Fall color palette.  She used Stitched Rectangles to create the Basic White image area, and then layered a dry embossed velum piece over Highland Heather Cardstock to create background layers.  She  used a sentiment from the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set, and accented with three Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots.  This is one of Stampin' Up!s DisIktive Stamp Set which gives a realistic image with a single stamped image.  This is a great sample for using this stamp set.  This is a beautiful card you would be proud to give your family and friends for any Fall occasion.  


Fall card with multi-colored leaf on a embossed vellum backhround


This card uses a Thick Basic White Cardstock base.  Then a layer of Highland Heather Cardstock with a piece of White Vellum Cardstock dry embossed with an embossing folder.  You might select an embossing folder such as Thanks & Hello or Let's Celebrate, or you might select an embossing folder like Leaf Fall 3D folder with a leaf design. The Image layer is a Basic White Cardstock die cut using Stitched Rectangles Dies.


Fall card using Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Stamp Set


There are multiple techniques for giving stamped images multi-colored appearances from using sponge daubers and applying each color with a dauber before stamping.  You can also select three colors of ink refills and add all three colors as drops to a baby wipe.  Make sure your select a brand of baby wipes that does not leave fibers on your stamps.  I find that Costco brand baby wipes are fuzz-free and works well for this technique.  Ink up your stamp from the ink on the baby wipes and stamp your image. 




The Soft Seedling Stamp Set includes four different sentiments, which you can stamp directly on your image layer or on a sentiment label such as one from Natures Print Bundle.   Then, many of our accents will work on this card.  This card uses three of the Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment pack.
