Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the next Episode of Rick's Saturday Simple Stamping. In this Episode I am going to share with you how to create a Fall themed Birthday card using products from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and the upcoming Holiday Catalog. I created this card using the Here's A Card Stamp Set (from the Annual Catalog) and Gather Together Stamp Set (from the 2019 Holiday Catalog). I have given you both the A2 size measurements for the US and Canada and the A4 measurements for everywhere else in the blog post. Here's a look at my card for today.
I started off today's card by cutting a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock (146979) in half to make a portrait style card (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 the finished size is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 or 14.9 cm x 21 cm) so cut your cardstock according to your top folding card measurements. I then stamped the large leaf image from the Gather Together Stamp Set (150589) in Merry Merlot Classic ink (147112) around the card. Once this was complete, I stamped the pumpkins from the same set on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock (100730) that measured 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 (11.8 cm x 6.3 cm) using Smoky Slate Classic Ink (147113). I then stamped Happy Birthday from the Here's a Card Cling Stamp Set (149438) in the same Smoky Slate ink close to the bottom. I added a little of the 1/4" Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon (149480) to this layer at the top and added a knot. I then adhered this to a Night of Navy Cardstock (100867) mat cut at 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 (12 cm x 6.5 cm). The Whisper White layer was added to the Night of Navy mat with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755). Once I had everything mounted I added it to the card base on Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).
To finish off the card I added a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to the inside of the card cut at 4 x 5 1/4 (14.4 cm x 10 cm). I stamped the large leaf in the bottom corner of the Whisper White layer in Merry Merlot ink and adhered it to the card base. I then decorated the Whisper White Medium Envelope (107301) flap with the same images on the card with the same two colors. This allowed everything to tie in. On front of the envelope I just stamped the pumpkins in the bottom left hand corner with Smoky Slate ink. That way I have the perfect coordination all the way around the card to give me a perfect presentation when sent to the recipient.

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the Gratitude Journal I made my Sister recently. Must of you may know that my little brother is in the hospital again and he's in very critical condition. Myself, my sweet husband, and my sister have been at the hospital with him everyday. My sisters husband was there over the weekend with us and my older brother has been as much as his work schedule would allow. But, mainly its been the three of us there, so my sister and little brother are really close we had to make her go home the other night because she hadn't really slept. So I made her this little Gratitude Journal using the Pressed Petals Journal (from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog) and some of the products from the Come to Gather Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. Here's a look at the finished journal.
I wanted her to be able to write some things down each day on what she's thankful for just in case he makes another turn for the worse. I thought that this would be a good way for her to get her thoughts out and to remember to be thankful for the good times we have all shared growing up and other things that bring us gratitude in our daily lives. I had just ordered the Pressed Petal Journal (#149588 on pages 73 and 170 of the Annual Catalog) a couple weeks ago. I didn't know why I was ordering it but knew there would be a reason to.
I used some upcoming products from the 2019 Holiday Catalog to decorate the outside and a few of the pages on the inside of the journal. I picked some products from the Come to Gather Suite (pages 46 - 48) because I thought it would compliment the Gratitude Journal concept well.These products will not be available until September 4, 2019 in my online store; so you are getting a little sneak peek at this suite.
For my decorations on the outside I used the Gather Together Bundle (#153036) because I loved the look of the leaves and the Season of Thanks sentiment. I thought that it was the perfect sentiment for a gratitude journal. Because we should always be in a season of thanks. I stamped the leaves in Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and then did some in Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104) and Merry Merlot Ink (#147112) also. All the stamped leaves and the sentiment are done on Very Vanilla Cardstock (#101650). The last two ended up being used on the inside of the journal. I also used the same color cardstocks (Pretty Peacock Cardstock #150880, Pear Pizzazz Cardstock #131201, Merry Merlot Cardstock #146979) and die cut some of the smaller leaves as well. The dies that cut the smaller leaves also embosses them. It's not very easy to see in the picture here. I love the look of the embossed leaves and wished that they showed up a little better in this photo.
I added the leaves and sentiment to a piece of the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper (#150454) that I used in the background and as a banner under the sentiment. I then added the designer series paper and leaves element to a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock and popped it up on Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished the decorations off with a double bow. For that I used some of the Cajun Craze Linen Thread that's in the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack (#150456) using a mini glue dot.
Once I had the outside down I had some leftover pieces so I added them through out the journal to tie everything together. I just picked a few random pages and added them in. Here are a few of the spreads I just added the leaves to.
I made sure to leave room for any photos she may want to add and her writing. I think that the Pressed Petals Journal makes the perfect gift for someone, because they can customize it to their needs. I wrote in the first page a really nice Gratitude quote and a personal message. When I gave it to her yesterday at the hospital she said "I love it and I am not going to cry!" Which showed me she really appreciated it.
