A BANNER YEAR + PLAID = FUN CARDS!
Today I wanted to talk more about the Banner Year stamp set offered in the current Stampin’ Up!®️ Mini Catalog. The smaller size of the images makes them perfect for focal images on tags or cards, images on banners, backgrounds images, embellishments, and just about any thing else you can think of! The stamp set also includes so many greetings! It is truly a versatile set for fall right on through Valentine’s Day!
Another item offered in the Mini Catalog that is versatile and perfect for cards from fall through Valentine’s Day is the Plaid Tidings 6x6 Designer Series Paper! The plaid designs are warm and snuggly and fun! The designs include16 Stampin’ Up! colors! So, lots of variety!
Here are some cards I made using the Banner Year stamp set, and the Plaid Tidings DSP.
For this card I stamped the leaf image multiple times on Whisper White cardstock using several colors of ink.Next I stamped multiples of the leaf image In several colors of ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. I cut out those leaves, and attached them to the pile of stamped leaves using mini dimensionals. I used some Balmy Blue ink and a Stampin’ Sponge to create the “sky.” Doesn’t the beautiful plaid paper highlight those fall leaves? The focal point mat and the card base are Cinnamon Cider.
Look at all those pumpkins, lined up and ready for a brisk autumn morning! I used the Banner Pick a Punch for the sentiment on this card. Once again the plaid DSP really accentuates the stamped images!
How about a cute Halloween card for all the little goblins in your life? A smiling jack-o-lantern stamped on Whisper White and matted on Rich Razzleberry and Basic Black circles (cut from the stitched shapes dies) look spooktacular on the swath of plaid! The Rich Razzleberry panel was embossed using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It is all adhered to a Basic Black card base, and dressed up a bit with some crinkled seam binding ribbon died with a Pumpkin Pie (dark) Stampin’ Blend.
Moving along to Thanksgiving, who wouldn’t love receiving this card in the mail? Look at all those acorns! This squirrel has a lot to be thankful for. I used the same technique for the pile of acorns as I did for the pile of leaves. Again, the plaid DSP really gives this card a nice warm feeling of autumn!
I like the holly leaves and berries included in this set! The stamps make it so easy to stamp borders. This pattern of plaid DSP is a very traditional looking Christmas pattern!It makes me want to put on my flannel pjs, grab a cup of cocoa, and sit by the fireplace.
One last card! I used two stamps from the set to make my focal panel! I think the plaid DSP really brings this card together, The DSP colors are Melon Mambo and Basic Black, but I used Melon Mambo and Basic Gray ink to stamp the images, and Basic Gray and Melon Mambo cardstock. I really like the color combination. Once again I used the Banner Pick a Punch for the greeting.
As you can see the Banner Year stamp set is perfect for all types or cards and paper crafting this Holiday Season! Add some plaid to the cards and your cards will delight everyone who receives them!
I hope these cards have provided you with some greatinkspiration!
Until next time...
Stamp happy!
