Bobbi's Paper Trail

Hello!

Every month, my team and I have a stamp camp in Arizona where I used to live. Most everyone on my team shares in the hosting and designs at least 5 cards for camp. I was the host for September, and I thought I would share the cards I designed. I couldn't make up my mind on which ones to use, so I did 7 cards instead. Here's my cards:

My first card was made using the Sunrise Sailing bundle. This is a direct CASE (copy and share everything) from Lynn Dunn at Stamptastic Designs. I love how she combined the 2025-2027 In Color paper pack to make the night sky and the ocean. To see her cards check out her blog: You searched for sunrise sailing - Lynn Dunn - Stamptastic Designs LLC

The beautiful Peaceful View background stamp set lets you make a gorgeous card, without a lot of stamping. I used the Thoughtful Journey paper pack to find a soft background for my Memento Black stamped image.

Our Prairie View stamp set shows us how delicate foliage in the prairie can be just as stunning. Here I made a sympathy card, and a minimal amount of stamping did the trick. My backdrop is another beautiful piece of our Thoughtful Journey 6x6 paper pack.

Hay, it's your birthday! How cute is this? This bundle is called Tractor & Co. and includes some cute images and dies from farm life. Living in Missouri, I see a lot of farming equipment and get to enjoy some really great veggies, fresh eggs and meats, grown right here. I used the Boho Vibes 6x6 paper pack and chose some "chicken scratch" papers as well as some that doubled as "the road to the farm".

Another autumn design, this thank you card would be perfect to send to a hostess after the great Thanksgiving dinner they invited you to. The Gathering Moments Suite has a set of gorgeous 12x12 papers, as well as a great stamp set with matching dies and some twine.This is a Double Flap fun fold card and I found the design by Karen Titus of Stamping on the Back Porch.

Sometimes it's nice to do a monochromatic card. Using Shaded Spruce cardstock, ribbon and ink, this card came together quickly once I decided on a color. Sometimes it takes longer to decide on color than the design, but a quick look at the Elegant Pine designer series paper, helped me choose. I love the snowflake design on the dark green, so that's what I chose as my background. It's hard to see, but I colored the trees and landscape with just a touch of Wink of Stella to create a winter scene. The stamp set is just four stamps, but they are gorgeous. Check out the Winter Scenes stamp set and see if you don't agree.

For my last card, I seemed to remember that we hardly ever make a Happy New Year card. Why is that? I guess we get so wrapped up in the fall season, then Christmas, that a happy new year greeting just seems to not get noticed. I decided to do something about that this year. A very quick card to make and the result gives a nice sparkle to bring in the New Year. The Words for the Season bundle includes a stamp set and dies and although there's no stamping on this card, using the dies to create the message worked out well. I chose a plainer piece of Traditions of Christmas 12x12 designer paper, layered onto a Secret Sea card base. I cut out some floral images from the DSP and added a piece of Gold Striped Mesh ribbon and some gold Drusy dots to complete the card.

So, what do you think? Please leave me a comment and let me know your favorite. I had a lot of fun designing for our group and I hope you enjoyed seeing them too.

As promised yesterday, today's post is all about Fall and Thanksgiving. My friend in Arizona orders cards from me a few times a year, and yesterday I showed you the Halloween cards. Here's what I made for her:

All cards were made using a design I found online from Karen Titus of Stamping on the Back Porch. This fun fold is called a Double Flap fun fold, and I must admit, the design is so much fun to make. When you open up the mini card, there are 2 blank papers to write a message. You also reveal the beautiful designer paper. Here's a picture of the inside so you can see what I mean:

Isn't that fun? The stamps and papers I used for all the cards are from Stampin' Up! and I have a supply list at the bottom of this post. Coordinating ink was used for the sentiments and I can't wait to make more of these.
