Hey there friends, today I’m back with another card idea using Stampin’ Up!’s Autumn Greetings stamp set.
As with the last card, I am using a masking with ink blending technique. This time, I decided to go for more of a clean and simple/modern feel to my card. So instead of covering my entire panel with blended inks, I decided to create three narrow strips of color, leaving the rest of the image uncolored.
Stampin’ Up! Autumn Greetings | “Hey There Friend” Card
Here is a close up of the card.
As you can see, the three colors I chose for the ink strips – Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight – I carried over to the die cut letters. The only change I made was with the Daffodil Delight. Instead of using Daffodil Delight cardstock for the letter “y,” I opted for Crushed Curry CS. And that is because the Daffodil Delight CS was too light and bright for the overall feel of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Greetings | “Hey There Friend” Card Step-by-Step Tutorial
Here is how I made this card:
Step 1: Fold the 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Whisper White Thick cardstock in half, with a bone folder, to create a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base.
Step 2: Stamp the large floral image onto a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Step 3: Position the third from the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles dies over the floral image, on an angle, so that there is a white area at the bottom left corner of the frame. Hold the die in place using repositionable adhesive and run it through a die cutting machine.
Step 4: Place the die cut floral image on your grid paper in a landscape format with the white area at the top left. Stick a piece of Stamping Mask paper about 3/4″ up from the bottom edge. Stick a second piece of Stamping Mask paper about 1/4″ above the first piece.
Step 5: Apply ink to the unmasked area of the floral image using Cajun Craze ink and a sponge dauber.
Step 6: Remove the top piece of Masking Paper and move it up about 1/4″ and stick it back down. Remove the bottom piece of Masking Paper and move it up just under 1/4″ and stick it back down. You want a very small bit of the Cajun Craze ink to be showing just above the bottom piece of Masking Paper.
Step 7: Apply ink to the unmasked area of the floral image using Pumpkin Pie ink and a sponge dauber.
Step 8: Remove the top piece of Masking Paper and move it up about 1/4″ and stick it back down. Remove the bottom piece of Masking Paper and move it up just under 1/4″ and stick it back down. You want a very small bit of the Pumpkin Pie ink to be showing just above the bottom piece of Masking Paper.
Step 9: Apply ink to the unmasked area of the floral image using Daffodil Delight ink and a sponge dauber.
Step 10: Place some foam adhesive on the back of the 3/4″ x 1″ piece of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry cardstock pieces. Die cut the letter H from the Cajun Craze cardstock, the E from the Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the Y from the Crushed Curry cardstock.
Step 11: Stamp the “hello there friend” greeting onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Fussy cut the “there friend” portion of the greeting, leaving a narrow border, using paper snips.
Step 12: Place the border die along the right side of the 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Cajun Craze cardstock. Hold the die in place using repositionable adhesive and run it through a die cutting machine.
Step 13: Stick the die cut border to the back of the left side of the floral panel, using double sided adhesive.
Step 14: Stick the H, E and Y letters that you die cut to the floral panel. Stick the “there friend” greeting onto the floral panel, just below the die cut letters, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Step 15: Center and stick the floral panel onto the card base, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Step 16: Embellish the card with some Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. You’re done!
