The translucent leaves, from the Translucent Florals Stamp Set, are beautiful in Fall colors. For today’s card, I stamped them in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade on Basic White Cardstock.
After stamping, I used the Translucent Florals Die for cutting. These products are “online exclusives,” which you can order from my Product List below.
FALL leaves
The background is One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The word “FALL” was created with a wood pattern of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and Alphabet a la Mode Dies. For dimension, I used Foam Adhesive Sheets.
To add a little sparkle, I used a Translucent Florals Die to cut Rose Gold Specialty Paper. I love the iridescent shine!
There is a sentiment inside, “You make each season of life even more beautiful.” This is from the Season Of Chic Stamp Set, and I’ll be sending this as a Thanksgiving card.

Today’s “clean & simple” design is one that can easily be replicated. I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper, 2″ X 4 3/4″, to a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
After gluing the DSP to the layer, I embossed the layer with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder, and glued the layer to the card base.
Iridescent Snowflakes
Next, using Chic Dies, I cut three snowflakes from Rose Gold Specialty Paper. The iridescent sheet makes the snowflakes change color, according to how the light hits them!
The sentiment, “Merry Christmas,” and the bunny, are from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink.
I used the Double Oval Punch to cut the sentiment, and a Reindeer Die to cut the bunny. Both were placed on Dimensionals, completing my “clean & simple” card.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is All Creatures Great and Small. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Have you seen the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper? It’s an “online exclusive” product, with fabulous designs for the holidays, which you can view by clicking on its picture in my Product List below.
I began today’s card with one of the scenes, cut 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to an Early Espresso card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. See the cute deer facing us?
Next, I cut a wood pattern from the designer paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I used an Aspen Tree Die to cut the large oval of trees, and glued it on top of the scene, making sure the deer was peeking through the trees.
Deer among trees
The deer silhouette is from the Grove Dies, cut from another One Horse Open Sleigh wood pattern, layered for thickness, and glued in place.
The branches of Fall leaves were cut with two Grove Dies from Masterfully Made Designer Paper, and glued in place.
“Hey there!” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink on the designer paper, used its Sentiment Silhouettes Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and glued it in place.
A little sparkle was added with Iridescent Rhinestones.
Thank you for spending a few moments of your summer with me.

The popular, Paper Florist Dies sold out, but they are back in stock! I used just 4 of the 18 dies to create the flowers on today’s card. You can see the entire set in my Product List below.
The flower petals were cut from Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper in Wild Wheat, and the flower centers and leaves were cut from Earthen Elegance Designer Paper in Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.
“In Color” Flowers
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 3″, cut along the top and bottom with an Elegant Borders Die. This die set is an Online Exclusive, with a link in my Product List below.
The sentiment, “Happy Birthday,” is from the Translucent Florals Stamp Set, also an Online Exclusive, stamped in Pebbled Path Ink.
After stamping the sentiment, I glued the die-cut to a Pebbled Path card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I glued the leaves in place, glued the flower parts together, and attached the flowers with Dimensionals. The final touch was adding three, 2023-2025 In Color Dots for some Pebbled Path shine.
I was inspired by The Paper Players.

This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: “outdoors.” See how our designers used the theme, then create your design, and hang it in our gallery.
Plein-air painting is French for painting outdoors, and the Crafting With You Bundle is perfect for depicting this experience on a card.
For this week’s theme, I chose a scene from the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper. Bundle up!
Painting Outdoors
This paper is an “online exclusive,” and includes a fabulous painting of a red fox, 2 1/4″ X 1 3/4″, perfect for a card-sized easel. The easel is one of 21 dies in the Crafting With You Die Set.
I cut the easel from a wood grain pattern of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, backed it with cardstock for thickness, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, 5″ X 3 3/4″, layered on Pool Party Cardstock that is 1/8″ larger, giving the DSP a 1/16″ border. This was glued to a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink. “You inspire me” is one of 13 stamps in the Crafting With You Stamp Set. This is a great set for all of your crafty friends, and if you order the bundle, you’ll get a 10% savings! You can see all of the stamps and dies in my Product List below.
To accentuate the sentiment, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots.
The envelope (see in first photo) was decorated with another pattern of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. I cut the DSP, 5 3/4″ X 2 1/2″, glued it to the flap, and using the flap as a template, I cut along the edge.

I began today’s card, with the “leftover” from yesterday’s card. And, if you’re curious, I have a link to yesterday’s card below. Before gluing the layer to a Lost Lagoon card base, I embossed it with the Timber Embossing Folder.
Encircled NOEL
NOEL, from the Joy Of Noel Bundle, was stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock. To give the letters dimension, I cut a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet the same size as the stamped letters, adhered them together, placed the letter die on top of the stamped letters, and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine. Then, I removed the letters, leaving the backing intact until I was ready to attach them to the card front.
To complete the design, I used two, Joy Of Noel Dies to cut the pine boughs from Pretty Peacock Cardstock, and the berries from More Dazzle Specialty Paper.
Here is yesterday’s design, and clicking will take you to my blog post:
