Sugar Creek Stamping: Triple Play Thursday 24 September 2020

Welcome, it's Thursday and that means another Triple Play, where I take one stamp set and one card layout and use it to make three beautiful cards. This week fall is in the air and I have an easy fun fold layout to share.

The Gather Together Bundle is a returning favorite in the holiday catalog. The stamp set and dies are perfect for making cards and sharing thankful Fall greetings.

The feature card is full of autumn colors. The card base is Bumble Bee card stock, cut to 5-1/2" X 8-1/2". For the fun fold, score the long side at 4-1/4" and again at 7-1/2". Fold the card base in half, then fold the additional score line back, onto the front of the card. This will leave about and inch of the inside / back of the card showing.

A piece of 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" embossed card stock was adhered to the left side of the front panel. I used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder from the holiday catalog. The printed paper is from Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper. The piece for the front of the card measures 5-1/4" x 1-5/8". A second piece of printed paper is added to the inside. This piece measures 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" inch and is adhered to a piece of 5-1/4" X 4" piece of Whisper White.

The dies from this bundle are beautiful, and create realistic texture as well as cut, all with one pass through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. The leaves are cut from Cherry Cobbler, Bumble Bee and Soft Suede card stock. A hint: if you spritz the card stock with water, (not too wet) using a Stampin' Spritzer before you die cut the leaves it makes beautiful texture. The labels are from the Tasteful Labels dies. A close up photo below shows the pretty dimension, and how the labels were layered using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped using Early Espresso ink on the Bumble Bee label. A linen thread bow, an acorn punch and Elegant Faceted Gems add a finishing touch.

The second card base is Cherry Cobbler. I've pulled in the Rustic Retreat stamp set to bring a Christmas card version. The label is Crumb Cake card stock, cut using one of the Hippo & Friends dies. The cabin and tree image is stamped off once Crumb Cake ink and the sentiment is stamped using Cherry Cobble ink. The leaves are cut using Soft Suede and Cherry Cobbler card stock. The printed paper is from 'Tis the Season Designer Series Paper in the holiday catalog and I've embossed using the Woodland embossing folder. I hope you like this version.

The final card today uses some non-traditional colors including Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray. These two colors are beautiful together. The printed paper is from the In Color Designer Series Paper. And the embossed layer is using the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. The label is from Hippo & Friends, stamped with the large leaf image from the Gather Together bundle using Seaside Spray. The sentiment is stamped with Misty Moonlight on a strip of Whisper White. The bow is tied using In Color Misty Moonlight ribbon, and a few Elegant Faceted Gems provide the finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are inspired to make your own version.
