Plant Kindness Harvest Love

 

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a cute little card for you using the Autumn Goodness Bundle from the August -December Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up!.  I fully believe that in live if you plant kindness you will harvest love.  So when I saw the sentiment in this stamp set I knew I had to have it.

My card today also uses one of my other passions in life - Coloring!   I love to color and the Fall themed images in this stamp set are perfect for coloring with whatever media you love to color with.  I say this because in my mind everyone loves to color!  

Tips & Tricks: 

When I pick a stamp set that I know I want to color (especially with my Stampin' Blends) I will stamp out all the images that I plan on using onto my Thick Whisper White Cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink.  I may not have a plan on how or which images I want to use for my card but I know I want to have options.  So, by going ahead and stamping them all out I can go ahead and color them and have them for another project if I don't use them all on my intended project.  Today's project was not the case.

The Autumn Goodness Bundle contains the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and the matching Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies.  One of the great things about bundles is when you purchase them is that you save 10% buying the bundle instead of buying the stamp set and matching dies separate.  This is such a great Stamp Set and matching die set for Fall.  You have all great line art images that's just perfect and are begging to be colored.  The Autumn Goodness Stamp Set is also perfect to express gratitude, and share love and nature-inspired messages as well.

I love that you get two different wheelbarrow dies in the die set to use depending on your mood.  One for cutting out the stamped image and one that has an embossed wood texture to it.  The Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies allows you to create custom die-cut Autumn and nature elements such as a wheelbarrow, pumpkins, leaves, and more to add beauty to your handmade cards, scrapbooks, journals, and other paper crafts.  Plus the die cut fence is just to die for!

Once I had all the images stamped out I spent some relaxing time coloring the images.  At first I thought I would create a scene card using the images but decided that I wasn't in love with my card.  So I stamped all the images again on some Whisper White Thick Cardstock and started coloring them again with the intention of just die cutting them out to make a card.

Once I had all my coloring done and I was nice and relaxed from all the coloring I started creating the card.  I used some of the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper as the backdrop for my Fall project.  I used Soft Suede Cardstock as a mat for the Designer Series Paper and placed this on my top folding Thick Whisper White card base.  I then used one of my favorite and most used die sets to cut out a place to add my sentiment.  If you are not sure which die set I am talking about it's the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I just love them and they are my go to for most projects.  

My Hidden Craft Gem:

So, after all the die cutting and coloring was completed I arranged the elements on my card base.  I attached some down flat to the card and others I popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Because everything should have a little dimension after all.  To finish off the card I used the teeny tiny heart in the die set and die cut a red heart from a scrap of Red Velvet Paper (that can be found on page 63 of the August - December Mini Catalog it's up in the top right-hand corner of the page in a little box).  You may have missed this little gem in the catalog so make sure you go back and check it out.  I have found so many uses for it in the past week.  Things that I wouldn't have thought of without just playing with it.
