Happy Wednesday! Today's Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive Stamp Set is "Autumn Pumpkin" by Kitchen Sink Stamps. This 6" x 8" stamp set includes all you need to build incredible, realistic multi-step layered pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and leaves. The incredible layering of the designs creates the most realistic stamped designs that I am completely addicted to and I think you will be, too!
I am sharing both Halloween and Thanksgiving cards with this fabulous Autumn Pumpkin stamp set. I love that you can create pumpkins with or without the jack-o-lantern face. This set is perfect for all your fall-themed designs!
There are very limited quantities available and it is ONLY available at Simon Says Stamp this STAMPtember while supplies last. The exclusive collaborations are selling out in record time this year, so act fast if you can.
This is the 11th Anniversary of STAMPtember and it's bigger and better than ever! Thank you so much for being a part of this incredible month-long stamp party!

Watch the creation of these Halloween and Thanksgiving realistic pumpkin cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The Slimline Scallop Frame was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The frame was set aside and the inside rectangle was used as the card base for both scenes we are going to create.
We will also need three of the smooth white scallop frames for each card. I saved the inside rectangle pieces from the extra frames for other projects.
With an image layering stamp set, I highly recommend a MISTI. It makes lining up and stamping each layer so much easier!
For the Halloween card I used the following ink pads/color combinations:
I stamped two pumpkins and multiple leaves on the panel with the ink colors listed above.
Pro tip Dry each layer of ink with a heat tool to avoid wicking of each additional layer. If the area becomes too saturated with ink, you may not get the crisp, perfect layering you want. Drying each layer with a heat tool helps you to avoid that.
On one of the pumpkins I stamped the jack-o-lantern face, bats, and cat with Verafine Onyx Black Ink.
The "Happy" sentiment from the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Sunshine ink and "Halloween" was stamped with and Simon Says Stamp Orange Slush ink. Additional Halloween phrases from the Simon Says Stamp Happy Haunting Stamp Set were stamped above and below the larger greeting with Simon Says Stamp Smoke Ink. The mix of fonts/phrases is one of my favorite parts of both of the cards. I think paired with the layered stamped images, it gives such a "professional" banner type of look!
For the Thanksgiving card I used the following ink pads/color combinations:
I stamped two pumpkins and multiple leaves and vines on the panel with the ink colors listed above.
The "Blessings" sentiment from the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Sunshine ink and "Thanksgiving" was stamped with and Simon Says Stamp Khaki ink. Additional thankful phrases from the Simon Says Stamp Big Thanks Words were stamped above and below the larger greeting with Simon Says Stamp Dark Chocolate ink.
To finish the cards, a Slimline Nested Rectangle Die was die cut from Desert Storm Cardstock and adhered to a slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2"). A Slimline Scallop Frame was adhered to the card and the inside stamped rectangle was inlaid into the frame. Two more frames were added on top of the first for dimension.

Hello friends! Today I am thrilled to be joining Altenew Paint-A-Flower Carnations Release Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Kelly Griglione blog. For my cards today I am sharing a fun no masking technique of coloring over ink smooshing with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! This technique lends itself to beautiful results. Finishing touches of a foiled gold frame, gold embossed greeting, embossed sentiment strip, and heart accent complete this beautiful card. Let's get started!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these paint-a-flower carnations ink smooshing card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
THE BACKGROUND
I wanted my finished card to have an elegant glimmered foil frame. I am addicted to foiling and have been adding it to many, many cards lately! To do this, it needs to be the first step otherwise the foil can reheat the embossing and stick to the embossed areas which doesn't look great if that's not the look you want! (Ask me how I know! ha!)
Next, I stamped the Paint-A-Flower Carnations image around the perimeter of the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I used Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks watered down with a spritz of water and leftover plastic packaging to "ink smoosh" the background. I love the imperfect watercolored effect this creates. It's one of my favorite techniques for backgrounds as it looks amazing!
I used the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color in the flowers:
Once the background is completely dry I stamped "Congratulations" from the Paint-A-Flower Carnations Stamp Set on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
Another phrase from the stamp set was stamped on Hero Arts Palm Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Nested Banners Die and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
A small heart accent was adhered under the greetings and the panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

The images were colored in with the following Copic Markers:
Pugs: E43, E44, E47, W5, W8
Accessories (all red/green): R35, R37, G43, G99
The background was stenciled with the Tiny Dots Stencil and Yeti White Pigment Ink. I love how subtle these dots are, yet how much it adds to the overall design. Stencils are such a great way to add interest to cards.
Details were added to the eyes with white and black pens. Crystal Lacquer was added to the pug's tongues. Nuvo White Crystal Drops were added to the ornaments and star.
The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base.
The phrases/words were die cut with either Sentiment Label or Nested Banners Dies and adhered to the card background with foam adhesive.
A white Funfetti heart was adhered to one of the pug's chest and white jewels were scattered throughout the design to finish the card.

Lawn Fawn dye inks were ink blended over the t-shirt shape (color combinations are listed below next to each individual photo). The striped image from the Simon Says Stamp Botanical Heart Stamp Set was stamped on the bottom of each t-shirt with Lawn Fawn Dye Inks.
The masks were removed so each image could be colored. I like to save the coloring until any ink blending or background stamping is done in case I mess up. That way I haven't wasted any coloring!
The t-shirt panels were adhered to each shaped card base and the noses of the critters were embellished with Glossy Accents.

I'm creating a set of "one layer wonders" cards with this set and sharing how I'm using the Simon Says Stamp Crackle Backround, XL Greetings Stamp Set, and Tiny Words Support Stamp Set with the STAMPtember Set for a one layer card that doesn't appear one layer! I love finding ways to add interest to what can be considered "boring". These are anything but boring and are some of my favorite one layer cards!

While I had the stamps loaded into my MISTI it was the perfect opportunity to create more than one card! I simply switched up the color combos for the flowers on each!
The first layer of the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive Stamp Set is "Celebrate Our Differences" by Pinkfresh Studio flowers was stamped on a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of smooth white cardstock. Then the first layer of leaves, next the second layer of the flowers, and finally the second layer of the leaves. The stamp was placed in one corner of the panel and stamped on the background. The background was then flipped and the other corner stamped. What I love about this is that you don't have to move the stamp! So easy!
The color combos for each background are listed under the photos below.
The backgrounds were adhered to white top fold card bases. A single Funfetti heart was added to each card.
