Good morning and happy Friday! Hope you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend! And that the week has been a good one.
My card today is a bit of OLD (two classic card making techniques) and NEW – it showcases the stunning new Etched Autumn stamp set – coming on 3 Sept as a new Online Exclusive. It’s got a sentiment – on a cool die cut leaf shape – from the Gathering Moments bundle. And – the workhorse of this Triple Time stamping card – the new Branching Out die set. Take a look-see:
My autumnal color palette is from The Paper Players color challenge this week!
I started by using a fave coloring technique called…the baby wipe technique.
I laid a basic baby wipe flat on a slick surface – an open stamp case works perfectly here. Using ink refills – I dropped drops of ink all over the wipe – starting with Pumpkin Pie – this was the preponderance of the color I used. When I had a bunch of Pumpkin Pie all over the baby wipe – I came in with the Cajun Craze Ink Refill. I dropped the Cajun Craze between the Pumpkin Pie drops – but did much less of this color. The final color – Blackberry Bliss – got just a few drops here and there. See the video for how to ink your baby wipe!
I placed the new Etched Autumn stamp – available on 3 Sept – straight down onto the colored wipe and pressed it down gently to ink it well. Then I stamped it on a Very Vanilla panel. I held the stamp on the card stock for a few beats to allow the color to transfer well.
Then I trimmed the panel down to 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ for the card front.
Now – let me tell you from the jump – in the video – I made the whole triple time piece look…So…Stinkin’. Hard! And it…is actually…So…Stinkin’…EASY! So – I’ve got some photos that will help – and my mea culpa for making something easy into something hard! Guess it’s my super-power!
I started by placing the Branching Out die # 2 and die #5 together – centered on the card front – using a sticky note to hold them in place – and running the whole thing thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine at the same time.
For the mats, I placed the Branching Out dies #1 and #4…
…on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Old Olive cardstock and ran it all thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine at the same time.
Using Liquid Glue – I adhered the stack together – starting with the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Old Olive cardstock at the bottom – and adding each successively smaller piece – alternating mat and card front – until all the pieces were adhered together.
I tied a double-loop bow using Old Olive Linen Thread (this will be available on 3 Sept!!!) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
I inked just the word “Thanks” from the Gathering Moments stamp set (coming on 3 Sep 2025!) in Blackberry Bliss ink. I covered the other word with a sticky note (just in case it had some ink on it) and stamped it on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Using a Gathering Moments leaf die – I cut out the sentiment.
Using a Glue Dot – and double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the sentiment over the bow.
I added some new Cajun Craze & Gold Dots (part of the Online Exclusives coming on 3 Sept 2025) and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped a second Gathering Moments sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Very Vanilla panel. In the corner, I stamped a small leaf from Gathering Moments – using the colored baby wipe as my “ink pad”.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base, popped the triple-time card front onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Gathering Moments leaf on the front…
…and I stamped a different Gathering Moments leaf on the envelope flap, too.
Et Voila! Oh my goodness – I am totally in love with the Sketched Autumn stamp – and using the baby wipe stamping technique is…perfect with it! The triple time worked beautifully – when i did it the smart way! 🤦♀️ – and is such fun. I keep forgetting how much I like the effect! Gathering Moments is gorgeous – isn’t it fun to have the sentiment in a die cut leaf?! And..Branching Out. Well – what’s there to say about this except…you NEED to have this bundle in the top 3 of your Gotta-Get-These-First list for 3 Sept!!

Such a pretty fall card! Love the baby wipe technique for that background stamp! Awwww…yep, Finn was all over it. Glad that he just looked and didn’t chase them! 🙂
Yep – no dear will be sneaking up on him!! Thanks, Amy! 🙂
The wet wipe technique is perfect to highlight the detail of those lovely leaves and I love the way you used those new frames too – two great techniques! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Thanks, Joanne! It’s one of my fave techniques – and this stamp set is perfect for it! Appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
You can’t beat a good triple time card! Love how you’ve used those dies for it – especially as mine have just arrived! The stamp works well for it – and you’re right about it being a gorgeous stamp. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Thanks, Jan – it’s going to be one of my favorites, for sure! Appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
Finn is protecting his domain, and a good job too.
