My card today, for the Autumn InKing Royalty Blog Hop, gives you a sneak peek at some of the fabulous Autumnal products you’ll be able to order from the 2017 Holiday Catalog beginning September 1. I used the new Gourd Goodness stamp set, which has beautiful two step images – today I used the leaf. The new Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper inspired the colors for my card. And I used the new Everyday Label Punch in a slightly different way than usual. I’d love to hear what you think of my card, so please leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Thanks!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop!  Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by some of our favorite Fall-themed products.  What fun!  Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and soon-to-be-released Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products for the Autumn holidays – and we are excited to share our creations with you today. And Kim Jolley of Stampin’ Artfully is our guest stamper this month! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list farther down this page.

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Peekaboo Peach card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
• Early Espresso CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
• multicolor Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″
• DSP with spots cut to 4″ x 1-1/2″
• Early Espresso CS cut to 4″ x 1-3/4″
• Very Vanilla CS cut to 3/4″ x 4″
• Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″, for the inside

Stamped with the Gourd Goodness stamp set:

• two step leaf in Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze inks onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
• two step leaf in Lemon Line Twist and Garden Green inks onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
• sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the 3/4″ strip of Very Vanilla CS

Cut using the Everyday Label Punch:

• sentiment – I lined up the stamped strip in the center of the punch to cut the ends

Cut using Paper Snips:

• the two leaves

Assembled the card:

• DSP with spots glued onto the Early Espresso CS strip
• sentiment adhered to DSP with spot using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• pulled one strand from a piece of Burlap Ribbon, then wrapped it around the end of the strip, adhering to the back with Fast Fuse (or Tear n Tape)
• Early Espresso CS layer glued to front of card base
• multicolor DSP layer glued to the Early Espresso layer
• strip with sentiment and twine glued onto the card front
• leaves adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, tucking stems under sentiment
• 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla CS glued to the inside of the card base
