Autumn Silhouettes w/Stamp Simply Clear Stamps

It's time for me to share an Autumn card with you that features just a few (of the many) awesome stamps, dies and products from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  I always know that I can find the perfect sentiments, scriptures, images and die-cuts to create the perfect card for every occasion.  And that most definitely includes Autumn.  For today's card, I used the lovely Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set.

First, I cut my cardstock base for the card and created three panels to complete my background.  Before I attached the panels, I stamped each one in an ink that was just a shade darker than the (kraft, wheat and pale blue) cardstock onto which they were being stamped.  I used the Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set to stamp those gorgeous images.

Once I had each of my three panels ready to go, I attached them to the cardstock base that I'd created earlier.  I tried my best to evenly space apart each panel to fill in the empty space.  I'm not a perfectionist, however, so I didn't actually measure them.  I used the Autumn Blessings Stamp Set to stamp my lovely sentiment.  I cut the sentiment strip by using the Fishtail Banner Dies.  This FAB set has the perfect sized banner for every sentiment.  I also wrapped some Brown Baker's Twine around my card and tied a pretty little bow with it.

Autumn Blessings From Stamp Simply

Happy Monday, everyone, and thanks for visiting me again.  I'm always so super grateful when you stop by to take a peek at what I'm creating.  Today I'm sharing a FUN Autumn Blessings card created with some awesome products from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

I used black cardstock for my base and a pumpkin cardstock for the next layer that I ran through my BigShot with a Tim Holtz Lumber Embossing Folder to give it some dimension.  I used some Corduroy and some Marmalade Oxide Inks on it as well.  Next, I cut some banners using the Fishtail Banner Dies and some of the pretty papers found in the Carta Bella Welcome Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad.  The flags created a nice colorful background.

Next, I cut a small circle where I placed the pumpkin using a (very old) retired Spellbinders Die.  The pumpkin was stamped using the Welcome Fall Stamp Set and cut with the coordinating Welcome Fall Die.  I colored the pumpkin with Copics and placed it in the center.  The stamped sentiment (Autumn Blessings) is found in the Autumn Blessings Stamp Set and was also placed on a Fishtail Banner Die strip.

A few little sequins and a rusty paperclip were the finishing touches.  Stamp Simply has so many great stamps, dies and all kinds of great products to help you create beautiful cards.  Be sure to stop by the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of great inspiration.  Thanks again for stopping by my blog today.  It always makes me so happy.
