I used the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate stamp set bundle from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog to create a fall card to share with you today.  I also did a video tutorial for this card and you can see it on YouTube here.

I started by adhering a panel of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ DSP (available September 6) to a panel of Wild Wheat card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I adhered a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the back of another panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the layered panel to the larger DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the DSP panel to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with one of the Deckled Circles Dies (available September 6) and then brushed the edges with Pecan Pie ink and a Blending Brush.  I adhered the die cut circle to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut panels of Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie card stocks with dies from the Rustic Crate Dies (available September 6) and adhered the pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Adhesive Sheets (applied to the back of the Pecan Pie card stock).  I adhered the crate to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the fall image from the Rustic Crate stamp set (available September 6) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I colored the image with Light and Dark Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Markers and then cut the image out with the coordinating die from the Rustic Crate Dies.  I adhered the die cut image inside the crate die cut with Stampin Seal.

I applied Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Gold Foil Sheets and then cut panels of Basic White card stock and the Gold Foil Sheets with the dies from the Rustic Crate Dies.  I stamped the sentiment from the Rustic Crate stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on the Basic White die cut and then adhered the die cuts together with the Adhesive Sheets and to the crate with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock and then cut the Gold Foil Sheets and Pumpkin Pie card stock with the sentiment die from the Rustic Crates.  I adhered the die cuts together and then to the card front with the Adhesive Sheets.  I added two Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
