I used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog to create a fall thank you card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for this card on my Facebook page here and you can also see it on my YouTube channel here.

My card design was inspired by the sketch from the Fusion Challenge this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Cork 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper (available August 3) to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set (available August 3) in VersaMark ink on a panel of In Good Taste DSP (on sale for 15% off until August 2), sprinkled it with copper embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders pack and then heat embossed it.  I adhered the DSP panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sunflower and leaf images from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored the images with Light and Dark So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the images out with the Sunflowers Dies and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.

I cut a panel of Copper Foil Sheets with one of the Sunflowers Dies and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots under the sunflower image.  I adhered two of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (available August 3) next to the sentiment to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of In Good Taste DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card base.
