Sneak Peek of Pick of the Patch Bundle


I can't wait  for you to see the new Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog! It has so many amazing fall and holiday products. If you joined me last week on my Facebook Live/YouTube, you saw me display the upcoming new papers and a new mask set. Today I want to share a great punch bundle--Pick of the Patch. What I like best about this set is its versatility--it has multiple different sized pumpkins that also have vines and leaves as well as the ability to make a fall or Halloween card as it has a Happy Halloween sentiment and other great fall sentiments. And who doesn't like great fall DSP and the All About Autumn is just that! Here we will make a fractured (or some call it a shutter) card, which is a new technique for me. If you get stuck, please watch my Facebook Live attached below. 

 Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Pumpkin Pie cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. Second piece 4" by 5 1/4" and 3-4 pieces that are 1/4" wide and 6-11" long.
2. Basic White cardstock-- a piece 3 3/4" by 5", a piece cut with the second largest Stylish Shapes square,  and a scrap for the sentiment (the bigger of the short, fat flagged dies) and for the pumpkins and leaves.
3.  All About Autumn DSP cut 4" by 5 1/4"
4. Stamp Sets--Pick of the Patch (from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog)
5. Punch--Pick of the Patch (from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog)
6. Ink--Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow
7. Dies--Stylish Shapes
8. Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots
9. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue), Paper Trimmer, Glue Dots, Take Your Pick Tool, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Mini and Regular Dimensionals

Start by cutting the largest Stylish Shape square placed in a diamond on the All About Autumn DSP--place the corners the same distance from the top and the 2 sides. Turn over the square you just cut out and cut it down to 2 1/8" by cutting off all the stitching from the 4 sides. Now glue the DSP to the 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie. Center the 2 1/8" square inside the DSP and glue it down--make sure the back is what is showing. Glue the Basic White  second largest Stylish Shapes square in the center of the other square. 

Now let's add the 1/4" strips. Start by putting some glue on the outside of the Pretty Peacock (larger square) and keep extending the line of glue straight to the edge. The 1/4" piece starts even with the edge of the Pretty Peacock square as on the left picture below. You can see on the right picture how it extends to the edge of the DSP. You can now cut it flush with the edge, or wait to do all 4 at once. Then go to the second side of the square and do the same thing, as well as the other 2. Cut all the 1/4" pieces flush with the DSP. 

Now let's stamp some pumpkins! I used Pumpkin Pie ink and stamped the largest pumpkin and punched him out with the punch. The long skinny one I had to fussy cut, but it was easy. I stamped 2 leaves in Mossy Meadow and punched them out with the punch. I glued the small pumpkin straight on to the Basic White square and popped up the big one using Dimensionals. Then I glued on the leaves--for the leaf on the big pumpkin I put a Mini Dimensional on the back of it. 


I added 3 of the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots--a large one on the Basic White square and a small and large one on the DSP and you are done. Here's another picture of the card:


Here's another card I did with the same technique and DSP. I used the new/upcoming Oxidized Copper DSP to punch out the pumpkins and the new/upcoming Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies for the sentiment. I told you guys you were going to love this catalog! Let me know at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com if you aren't working with a demonstrator and need a new catalog.


Below is my Facebook Live from 8/14/23 where I make this card and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
