As summer sizzles out and fall begins to sneak in, Harvest time is upon us! This months cards remind me of picking fresh fruits and veggies from my garden in the back yard!

This month I am taking more of a technique / process share, rather than a finished card. I love the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and DSP (which may be sold out already, sorry).

I went over a friends for a couple days and brought what I thought was everything to make this months project. Well I brought everything except the stamp set.

I did my usual process to start a project or card, I cut out all kinds of the DSP and plain white and vanilla cardstock. Now I have all kinds of extras to easily make 10-20 cards!!!

Hello, and welcome to this months Gentlemen Crafters Blog Hop!

I decided it was time to go back and look at some of the stamps and dies from the Annual Catalog that I never had a chance to play with. I am so glad I did. I created this card using the all things fabulous bundle.

I got to use my favorite tool, the stamparatus, to line up the stamps that have 3 different layers. It also allowed me to make the purple flowers, clean my stamp then make the green flowers in record breaking time!!!

I stamped the first layers in both highland heather and pool party inks.

I then did the second layer of the flower in bermuda bay and georgous grape inks.

Then I used versamark and clear embossing powder for the third layer to emulate dew on the flowers.

Then cut each flower out using the dies from the bundle.

I layered the flowers onto a base of petal pink cardstock then a piece of in color DSP (bumblebee) with die cut vellum, and blue adhesive backed gems.

I am really enjoying the January to June Mini Catalog.

This Card uses the Dandy Garden Suite

I just had to use my Stampin’ Blends on this project, I just colored some scribbles on vellum then used the dies to make the focal image.

As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. Until next time, Happy Stampin’ and don’t forget to check these other talented gentlemen out!!

Have you seen the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog? It is amazing! I am in love with the Treasured Medallion stamp set. I used my stamparatus to stamp a bunch of the large medallions in Memento ink on thick whisper white cardstock. I then went to my happy place and just started coloring in with my Stampin’ Blends. Talk about instant Zen!!! So relaxing!!!

This bundle comes with the stamp set and a cute punch that can be used for so many different things. I used it here to create the shape that the sentiment was stamped onto.

The background DSP is called Oh So Hombre and you can get it for free during Sale-A-Bration with any $50 purchase. (ask me for more details).

Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas cards? I hope not! I have finished moving all of my stuff to the new house, it may take me a lifetime to get everything unpacked, organized, and put away.

This months card features the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle in the August to December mini catalog. I was surprised and ecstatic when I saw the returning fave! I bought this set the first time around and unfortunately did not have enough time to play with this beautiful collection.

The Designer Series Paper is so pretty and I had to take a few pictures from different angles to show off how nice it is in this card!

Hey ya’ll, I’m halfway through with moving into my new house and the GCDT blog hop has given me a much needed break to be creative.

I must say I absolutely love all the products in the Peony Garden Suite. It was so peaceful to color this image in with my Stampin’ Blends. I looked up all the colors that peonies come in and one match perfectly with the in color pretty peacock. I will definitely be trying this set out in all of the peony colors.
