5 Card Sketches made with Season Of Green & Gold

Hello - and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love to share ideas and projects with you so lets get started. 

Today I am sharing 5 card projects inspired by the Card Sketches found on page 22 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  I am so excited for these sketches and hope you are too. 

You can click on the below image for a larger view.  I have numbered the sketches that I used for below projects:  #5, #12, #13, #14, and #16

Card Sketches

All cards are made with products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection.   This collection is truly a collection!  2 stamp sets, 2 dies sets, 12x12 foiled specialty paper pack, 12x12 vellum paper pack, ribbon and embellishments.  I did use a few other embellishments and ribbon, but you can use just what came in the collection.  Oh yeah, some gold foil paper as well.   Let's take a look at the five projects.

Crafting With You Quilted Background

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

So the other day, I posted a project made with the Crafting With You stamps and dies.  You can see that post HERE.  Todays project was made with all the scraps I saved!  Read that post to find out why and how I had so many pieces.  

I absolutely adore how this turned out!

#craftingwithyou #quilted #stampwithlisabrown

  • Summer Splash card stock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 to form card base
  • Basic White card stock cut 4 x 5-1/4
  • A second piece of Basic White 4 x 5-1/4.  I randomly adhered my left over strips of the 2024-2025 In Color DSP stack from my previous project.  I recommend using our Multipurpose Liquid glue to be able to slide the strips right up against each other.  This was so helpful.  When applying the strips, have them hang off the white card stock a bit and them trim off as you go. 
  • Take above piece, and trim to 3-3/8 x 5-1/8.  This will give your edges a clean look
  • Emboss above piece with the Distress Tile 3D Embossing folder added some extra texture
  • Stamp, die cut and color the paint brushes, basket, scissors and easel and attached to card front

My Favorite of This Card?  THE SCISSORS!  I love using the DSP so my scissors have decorative handles!

We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop Sharing Fall Cards

Team Blog Hop Logo

Welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop.  This month we are all sharing fall cards so what says it better than leaves and our Changing Leaves Bundle.  I love this bundle with a hybrid 3D embossing folder with a die that you can use right in it!   This has been a popular bundle and it just came back into stock.

#changingleavesbundle #stampwithlisabrown

I ran a piece of 4 x 5-1/2 Very Vanilla card stock through the Changing Leaves 3D embossing folder and adhered to a Mossy Meadow card base. 

I then ran a piece of 6 x 6 Very Vanilla card stock through the embossing folder with the coordinating die.  This cuts out three leaves, the largest one and two others.  

I covered those leaves, using a sponge dauber, with enamel effects (copper and gold).  I put a blob of the enamel effects on my Silicone Mat and dipped my dauber into it.  Lightly rubbed over the embossed leaves to pick up the texture.  I then took the enamel effects bottle and outlined the leaves and the center vein.  See below picture for a better look.  I love how they turned out!

I die cut some Mossy Meadow leaves and the twigs dies are actually Peach Pie Glimmer Paper.  There is so much texture to this card but I am very pleased with how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.
