Team Apple Cider

Posted on October 3, 2025October 3, 2025 by inkspirationwithteresa

Fall is here! So the big question is are you team Apple Cider or team Pumpkin Spice?

I’ve been having a lot of fun crafting lately with the More than Autumn stamps and dies which totally lives up to it’s name. It’s a very versatile set! Which totally earns bonus points with me. And it makes it so you don’t have to choose. This week’s card pairs these awesome stamps and dies with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper pack. Another favourite of mine!

The card base is Cherry Cobbler with an Early Espresso design for the card front. On top of that are 4 Very Vanilla squares framed with more Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Each square has a different image stamped on the cup sleeve. There are so many cute images to choose from! And I think I used all of them on this card. I used Early Espresso ink that I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first. In the centre of the four squares is another cup that I coloured using the Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. The cinnamon stick was coloured using Pecan Pie. And all of these are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Underneath the squares I die cut part of the sentiment with one of the dies and some Cherry Cobbler cardstock. (I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to stick it to the patterned paper. But you could also use adhesive sheets.) Then I stamped “apple cider” on a small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped off the Early Espresso for the sentiment and then popped it up too.

Check out another project I made using the More than Autumn stamps and dies here. And you can find them in my online shop. Sadly the dies have been moved to the Last Chance section, so they’ll only be available for a little while longer.

As for me, I’m team Apple Cider. How about you?

Apple Season

Posted on September 19, 2025September 19, 2025 by inkspirationwithteresa

Fall officially kicks off on Monday! And while I enjoy summer, I just love the colours of Fall! Plus that means we’re in apple season which means apple picking and warm apple cider. I think that’s even been showing up in my craft room. The past little bit I’ve been having fun colouring with the More than Autumn stamps and dies. It’s such a fun combo to craft with!

This week’s card is leaning hard into my love of fall and apple season. I started by pulling out the retired Harvest Hello stamp set and punch and then added in a few pieces from the More than Autumn stamps and dies. The card base is Crumb Cake with a Cherry Cobbler card mat. I also used these colours for my inks; ink pads and Stampin’ Blends. With a little splash of Shaded Spruce.

To colour the apples I started with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. Then I added a little bit of the Dark Cherry Cobbler for some depth and shadow. To help with the blending process I then went over the dark edges with the light one more time. For the Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce I just used one of the Stampin’ Blends. There isn’t a whole lot of space for blending on those parts.

Then I used the punch and die to cut out my apples. Behind the apples I have a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The wood grains are great for fall themed projects! I also used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend to colour a piece of retired black & white gingham ribbon which I then wrapped around the patterned paper. The apples and part of the sentiment is popped up with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then I die cut the words “apple season” out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to layer on top.

Check out another card I made using the More than Autumn stamp set and dies here.

And stay tuned for some more projects with this awesome set. I don’t think I’m quite ready to put this away just yet.

In the meantime you can head over to my online shop to find the stamps, dies and whatever else you need to make your own version. And when you’re done make sure to post it here. I’d love to see it!

Bloom Impressions

Posted on February 28, 2025February 28, 2025 by inkspirationwithteresa

Today’s the last day of Sale-a-bration! I can’t believe we’re already at the end of February. Can you?! One of my favourite things from the Sale-a-bration catalogue turned out to be the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper. Now I have to admit, I do prefer the designs with one or two colours. But I have used the mutli-coloured designs for a couple of projects.

I love purple! So for my last card design that I’m sharing here, I’m using the Blackberry Bliss/purple design. And I’m pairing it with another of my favourites… butterflies!

My card base is Basic White. Then I layered my piece of patterned paper on top. The next layer is a Blackberry Bliss butterfly tag I made using a special die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. To make this tag I ran the same piece of cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine twice, making sure to line up the die using the line on the die when I flipped the cardstock around.

Next I added a detailed Basic White butterfly to the outside of the tag using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. And on the inside of the tag I added a Basic White butterfly outline. I did need to trim the antennae and the bottom of the body a bit to fit. Then on top of that I added a Blackberry Bliss sentiment from the More than Autumn stamp set.

I’m a little sad that the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper is retiring. But I’m glad I still have some left!

Don’t miss out on getting this pretty pack of patterned paper for FREE… or any of the other great free and exclusive Sale-a-bration products! You can find them all here in my online shop.

Slimline Christmas Card

Posted on November 15, 2024November 15, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I haven’t made a slimline card in a long time. Maybe that’s because I don’t have the right size envelopes… I really should do something about that! In the meantime, I was inkspired by a design I saw online and decided to make my own slimline Christmas card.

For this card I’m pulling out the More than Autumn bundle. This is probably my favourite bundle in the Holiday Mini catalogue! And since this is a Christmas card, I’m using the little candy cane and gingerbread cookie as inkspiration for my colours. Crumb Cake is the card base and Real Red is the card mat. The card base is 7″ x 9″, scored at 3 1/2″ on the short side.

On top of that I stamped a few candy canes using Real Red ink and some hearts in Crumb Cake ink. The gingerbread cookies I decided to stamp in Pecan Pie. Then I stamped a bunch of the cups. Double what I actually needed so I could use the top part of half of them to create lids.

Then I coloured the cups with the light and dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. And each cup sleeve got either a candy cane or gingerbread cookie. I stamped them with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then coloured them with the light versions of the Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. Once these were done I stacked them all up on the card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then on top of that I layered on the sentiment that I stamped with Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake and Real Red ink.

The More than Autumn bundle makes a great slimline Christmas card don’t you think?! I’m definitely not ready to put this bundle away yet! This is definitely what I’ll be using for the cards for our friends and family.

So until I share those designs, check out this other card I created using the More than Autumn bundle here.

More Than Autumn

Posted on September 13, 2024September 13, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

If you’ve been following me for a little while, you’ll know that I love joining in my large team’s card swaps. They’re such a great way to find inkspiration. AND it’s a great way to see projects with products you don’t have! A new catalogue is here so that means we’re having another card swap. The big things to remember are to use a stamp set from the new catalogue (e.g. More than Autumn), no online exclusives and make sure to add an embellishment.

For my design I’m using the More than Autumn stamp set. It’s such a fun stamp set and really versatile. My colour combination is inspired by fall. So I’m using Crumb Cake for my card base and Pumpkin Pie for my card mat. For all my stamping I’m using Very Vanilla. I really like the softer, more subtle colour for Fall themed cards.

I stamped my sentiment at the top and bottom of my card front using both Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie ink. Then on top of that I layered a strip of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. Next I stamped my Pumpkin Spice latte with Crumb Cake ink. The pumpkin is stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink of course. And then the whipped cream is stamped with Basic Beige. I coloured the cup and pumpkin with the Watercolour Pencils (assortment 1). If you’re light with your pressure the Early Espresso works well as an almost Crumb Cake. Then I framed it with another piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish is off I added Wink of Stella to the whipped cream and a few of the orange Faux Glass Dots.

Once I get all the cards from my team’s card swap, I’ll pick a few of my favourites to share here.

In the meantime, check out another card I made using the More than Autumn stamp set here.

Fall Themed Handmade Card

Posted on September 6, 2024September 6, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

September is here! And with a new catalogue and Fall just a couple of weeks away I’ve been having some fun with one of the new bundles from the September-December Mini Catalogue… aka the Holiday Mini. The More than Autumn stamps and dies are great for any occasion. For this post though I’m sharing a fall themed handmade card.

The image of the slice of pie totally caught my eye and inspired the design of this card. So with this being a fall themed handmade card I went with the obvious choice… pumpkin pie! I’m using Pumpkin Pie for the card base and one of my ink colours. The other colour is Pecan Pie. On top of the Pecan Pie card mat, I stamped a few Pumpkin Pie pumpkins. Then I embossed the cardstock using the 3D Cane Weave embossing folder. But before I attached it to the card mat I added a little bit of the Natural Polka Dot trim. And with this you’ll want to cut a little extra. The trim is a bit stiff and so you’ll want that extra to make is easier to tie a simple knot like I did.

From here, I stamped the image of the slice of pie using Early Espresso ink. I didn’t want the lines of the image disappearing when I coloured it with Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write markers. I framed this piece of cardstock with some more Pecan Pie cardstock and then popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then on top of the trim I stamped my sentiment with both ink colours. I die cut it using the Something Fancy dies and then popped this up with a couple more Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I can’t wait to really get crafting with the More than Autumn bundle!

Check out another fall themed handmade card that I made last year here.
