Autumn To Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit

Hello friends,

I am so excited to see the new Scrapbooking products from Stampin’ Up! There are kits, two-tone cardstock, designer papers, stamp sets and stickers all designed for scrapbooking. I have used the Autumn To Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166502) for this page. This kit includes enough products for 3 double page layouts. All the instructions are included which makes it so easy for cutting and assembly. Of course you can change it to suit your photos and how you like to scrapbook. This is my variation.

All the elements on this page are from the kit except the title and the diamonds under the letters. I cut the Crushed Curry (#131288) diamonds with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The letters are cut with an electronic cutter using Old Olive card (#106576). The letters were glued to the squares with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). All others elements were taped.

Magnolia Mood

Hello stamping friends,

This flower is from the Magnolia Mood Bundle (#163507) which includes the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) and Magnolia Mood dies (#163506).

I stamped the magnolia with Smoky Slate ink (#147113) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured this with Stampin’ Blends - Peach Pie (#163827), Soft Sea Foam (#147102), Old Olive (#154892), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and 1000 (#159465). I cut this floral image and the detailed image with the Magnolia Mood dies.

I wanted this detailed die cut to be glossy so I stamped it all over with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The Oxidised Copper 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190) was matted with Peach Pie card (#163800). The Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon (#163783) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card. I attached the detailed white die cut with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the stamped floral image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I stamped the “timber grain” from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). Then I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) with VersaMark & Copper Embossing Powder from the Metallics (#165678), and set it with the Heat Tool. The die to cut this is from the Christmas Labels (#164100). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments (#164223) were added to the card.

Changing Leaves Hybrid

Welcome friends,

The Changing Leaves Bundle (#164139) consists of the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) and the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder which also includes the dies (#164138). The embossing folder and dies can be used together or separately.

I inked the large leaves with Pecan Pie (#161665) then I added Calypso Coral ink (#147101) around the edges using a Sponge Dauber (#133773) then stamped this onto Basic White card (#159228). I cut and embossed the leaves with the folder & die. The other leaves were also cut with the dies using Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The card front is from the Thoughtful Designs 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163317). This was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), attached to Calypso Coral card (#124392) then onto the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink and cut with a Changing Leaves die. The large leaves and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204).

Thoughtful Journey

Hello friends,

The beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303) has been used for the background on this card.

I attached the DSP to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), then matted it with Fresh Freesia card (#155614). The Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon (#163785) was wrapped around the card front. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I used one of the Thoughtful Wishes dies (#163313) to cut the branch of flowers. I used Fresh Freesia card backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334), making this detailed die-cut easy to attach to the card.

“Birthday Wishes” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163807). The sentiment and the Fresh Freesia card were cut with the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781) were added to the card.

Layered Florals Embossing Folder

Hello & welcome again,

I have been playing with variations of the “blackout” technique. This technique involves dry embossing, then adding black ink to the embossed card. As well as the black ink, I have also used Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and White & Silver Embossing powders.

Firstly I added colour to the Basic White card (#159228) using ink and Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks I used are Shaded Spruce (#147088), Azure Afternoon (#161663), Crushed Curry (#147087), Real Red (#147084) and Gorgeous Grape (#147099). Next I embossed the card with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder (#162935). When I dry embossed this card I wanted to use the de-embossed side, so when I put the card into the folder I had the coloured side facing to the back of the folder.

For the first card, I wiped the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) over the card for the blackout effect. I then decided to wipe VersaMark (#102283) over the card, then add the Clear from the Wow! Basics Embossing Powder (#165679) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gave a nice shine to the card. I matted the card with Shy Shamrock card (#163793) and wrapped the Shy Shamrock Bordered Ribbon (#163787) around the card. The sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Shy Shamrock ink (#163808). A Christmas Labels Die (#164100) was used to cut the sentiment and then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

For the 2nd card I used Pecan Pie ink and again Clear embossed it. The sentiment was cut with a Wild Ferns die (#162654). Bubble Bath card (#161727) was used to matt the card front and for the “banners” under the sentiment. A Nested Essentials Die (#161597) was used for the banners.

For the 3rd card I heat embossed the card with Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283), stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and cut with a Labelled With Love die (#163570). The Ribbon is the Silver from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo pack (#161633).

Finally, for the 4th card I used White Embossing Powder from the Basics Powders. The ribbon is a retired Gorgeous Grape ribbon. The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756), stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a Christmas Labels die. The Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) was used to matt the card and for the label under the sentiment that was cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424).

The base card for all the cards is Basic White.
