Just in time for fall, this month the Simple Suite Stampers are featuring the Rustic Harvest Suite from the Stampin’ Up! July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. The creative team consists of twelve Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across the United States. Each month, we create a project focusing on a particular suite of products. The projects are kept simple so you can complete beautiful projects in a short time frame.
My project features a pumpkin stamped and die cut using the Hello Harvest Bundle. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper serves as the background with the greeting highlighted by using the tear technique on the corner of the paper.
To make it easy for you, a tutorial consisting of the twelve projects has been created.
Would you like the Simple Suite Stampers February Tutorial with all twelve projects? Below are the different options on how you can get the tutorial:
Place an order via my online store and you’ll receive the tutorial for FREE.
Or if you have considered becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and join with me, you’ll become a member of my Playtime with Paper team.

Hi everyone! I’m back after taking off the month of August. It was a busy month with other obligations plus some travel so posting to my blog was pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. I bet you all can relate to having lots to do with not enough time (LOL)! The good news is I have lots of projects completed and will be sharing a new project each week (maybe even two!). So be sure to subscribe to receive notifications of my postings. Now on to our project featuring the Apple Harvest Stamp Set.
Today’s project focuses on the branch of apples stamp from the Apple Harvest Stamp Set. This card is one that I made for a swap at the recent Stampin’ Up! Backstage business development event for demonstrators. It was lots of fun coloring the image using Stampin’ Blends and below is a video showing how to color the apples. And great news – for the month of September, the Perfect Partners Promotion includes the Apple Harvest Bundle with the coordinating Apple Blossoms Dies. Or you can purchase the dies separately if you already own the stamp set. Important to note, the Apple Blossom Dies are only available during the month of September or while supplies last so place your order today. You’ll find additional information in the Reminders section below.

Recently, I participated in a card swap with other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators using products from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. My swap card uses the Leaves of Holly Bundle and coordinating Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper to create a holiday card. The Leaves of Holly bundle consists of the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set and the Holly Berry Dies. The beautiful designer series paper provides the perfect background for the sentiment. If you send lots of holiday cards and are looking for a design easy to replicate, look no further!
Swap cards are in the mail and I will be receiving cards from the other participants soon. I look forward to seeing the creations and will be sharing them with you in the near future.
