Good mornin’, y’all! Hope this finds you well – and safe (particularly if you’re in the path of Harvey and dealing with the ongoing havoc he wrought – and is wreaking!).
Folks are snapping up my Painted Autumn bundles, but today I want to give the rest of you a little nudge-nudge. So I made a card to help convince you that you need one of these bundles! I’ll just let the Painted Harvest stamp set, Leaf Punch and Painted Autumn DSP do the persuading, shall I? Take a look-see:
While I took all the color palette inspiration from the Suite itself, I let the fine folks at CAS(E) This Sketch lend me an assist on the layout.
I started with some Crumb Cake card stock and then inked up the flower images in the Painted Harvest stamp set, also in Crumb Cake. I stamped the images – both of them, remember, this is two step! – all across the panel. When I stamped the first image (the less-defined, larger flower), I stamped it multiple times for each flower, rotating it a little with each stamp.
My middle panel is a piece of the Painted Autumn DSP, matted on Early Espresso and Garden Green, then Fast Fuse’d to the card front.
I adhered a short strip of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon to the middle panel with Liquid Glue.
For the leaves, I stamped the leaf images (both of them) in Garden Green on Garden Green card stock, punched them out with the Leaf Punch, and creased each leaf. Then I adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I fussy cut a couple of flowers from the Painted Autumn DSP and adhered the larger one with Liquid Glue. The smaller flower I popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment, from Painted Harvest, is stamped in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake card stock. I inked and stamped the phrases and the ampersand separately, then snipped them out. The edges are colored with my Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker. Then I adhered them to the flowers with Liquid Glue.
I made a multi-loop bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot, then tied a smaller bow from Crushed Curry Solid Baker’s Twine and adhered it over the Linen Thread Bow. And that was it for the card front.
On the inside, I stamped another Painted Harvest flower using Crushed Curry, on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the first image several times, rotating it for each stamp. Then I came back and repeated it with the second image – again multiple times, and rotating the stamp. The middle is stamped in Crumb Cake – I did it twice, rotating between stamps. Then I added “sunflower seeds” with the three-dot image in Crumb Cake.
I matted the panel on Early Espresso and Garden Green and then Fast Fuse’d it into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, added the card front with more Fast Fuse, and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Painted Harvest flower in Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake on the front…
…and some more of the Painted Autumn DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love this Suite so much – that stamped flower is exquisite and the designer paper complements it perfectly. It can be fresh and bright and summery or it can go vintage-antique-y. So many possibilities! I hope you like.
Read on for all the details in the bundles – and grab the one you need before these special prices go away on Thursday afternoon!!

Finn-Fan Fix
I mentioned on my video the other night that Finn and I had gone over for a playdate with his sister, Scout.
He’d go do that every day, if he could. Or…twelve times a day!
They’d both end up pretty danged fit if he did. And have no excess energy for shenanigans!
Y’all – they must have run 25 miles. In a circle around the lawn chairs we were all sitting in. If they weren’t running, they were wrestling…
Every once in a while, they’d flop on the ground for a minute or two to catch their breath.
And at one point, Finn went to the big water bowl to take a self-imposed timeout. A little guy-time. Contemplate Maybelle-the-cow and get his breath back. And have a little sip of water.
Possibly ambush his sister if she decided she needed a drink, too.
They had a bang-up good time!! 🙂
