It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! This week the lovely and talented LeAnne has a sketch challenge for us…and what a fabulous sketch it is. When I saw the central circle, I immediately thought of Stampin’ Up!’s new Hostess Set, Four Seasons. Because I wanted to use the warm tones of the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper collection, I selected the Fall image. I hope you enjoy today’s card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Warm and Comforting Fall Cards
- “Comfort” colors! The warm colors of Comfort Cafe are perfect for fall cards. Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, and the new In-Color, Summer Starfruit, are a perfect trio for inking up the Fall Wreath image from Four Seasons. And for a touch of contrast, Always Artichoke completes the picture!
- Texture! Nothing adds warmth to a card like texture. A Cajun Craze Labels Framelit was zipped through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The result is as warm and comforting as a favorite quilt!
- The perfect sentiment! Who can resist the wisdom behind the Kindness Matters sentiment from the set of the same name?
- A small touch of warm elegance! A fall card can always benefit from a simple touch of elegance. An Always Artichoke Seam Binding double bow, created in seconds, is the perfect answer when a card needs a little extra!
The Twins are dog tired. They have helped me price over 100 retiring and previously retired stamp sets. I have decided to really clean out my stamps, so I will be listing sets from previous years and from the mini catalogs, too. I will be posting my list the first part of June.
What do you think of this stamp set? I can’t wait to use the winter image! And I love Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper! I have a feeling I will be using more than one package of it throughout the upcoming year. As always, your comments are so very important to me, and I do read each and every one! Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
