Sweater Weather!

October 01, 2023

Happy Fall! It's hard to believe but the evenings here in North Dakota are starting to get cool and grabbing a cuddly sweater is just the ticket to fending off the evening chill!

I'm so happy to joining you all again this week with more inspiration using Gerda Steiner Designs, Pumpkin Mouse stamp set. I've really enjoyed my time as a guest designer for GSD and I hope I will inspire you to give this adorable stamp set a try!

I grabbed a sweater die cut and placed it into my MISTI placing the row of pumpkin stamp on to the sweater. I masked off the sleeves so I wouldn't accidentally get the image on them. After stamping the image, I colored the image with copic markers. If you don't have a sweater die, you could find an image on the internet and fussy cut it out to use.

I know it can be scary but one of the benefits of cling stamps is that you can cut the sentiments apart. I didn't want a long sentiment for my card so I cut the sentiment in half and made a sentiment that fit my card better. To add a bit of interest to the background, I took the panel and scored the cardstock every 1/2" without scoring by the sentiment. I added a piece of designer paper and strip of gold glitter washi tape to complete my card.

I just adore this card! It was so simple to make. I started out using a couple of different patterned papers, cutting one at an angle to give some interest to the background. I added the strip sentiment and a diecut sweater. To complete the card, I added a stamped image of the adorable mouse from the Pumpkin Mouse stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. A couple of enamel dots as embellishments complete the card.

I hope I've inspired you to give this stamp set a try...I had a blast playing with it!

Thanks as always for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon,
