It’s STAMPtember!! Woot woot! Many of you here will know what STAMPtember is, but if you are new around here, STAMPtember is a month-long stamping party run by Simon Says Stamp containing exclusive products, limited editions, prizes, and so many MORE surprises! Making this STAMPtember even more special this year is that it is the 10th anniversary. So buckle up and get ready for the ride that is STAMPtember! I’ll be sharing as much as I can fit in during the month while also at the bottom of every blog post I will have a summary of what has happened so far so keep an eye out for that to keep in the loop. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
STAMPTEMBER
Here’s a closer look at what is included in the STAMPtember release from Simon Says Stamp. I think this might be their biggest release ever! I’ve tried to group things for easy viewing – stamp sets with matching dies, single stamp sets, cling stamp sets, single dies, stencils, embellishments and finally dies which match previously released stamp sets. However, for a closer look, you can check out the whole of the new release here.

AUTUMN PASTELS
To have more time to create this month, I’ll keep my descriptions a little simpler. I hope that compromise works for you – fewer words but more cards! However, if you want to know what I used on any card, please check the supplies list at the bottom of the post. I list all the supplies I use there.
So for this card, I traced the Tumbling Leaves stencil with a pencil onto Arches cold-pressed watercolour card and painted with Daniel Smith watercolours before splattering with Perfect Pearls solution.
I die cut the panel with a Wonky Rectangle die then added a Friend die cut from painted card and vellum.
I added a complimentary greeting from the All The Thanks set, stamped in clear embossing ink and white heat embossed on painted hot pressed card.
Finally, I mounted the panel on a Desert Storm card base and accented with sequins and droplets.
MORE INSPIRATION
Here’s a sneak peek of a card I’m sharing tomorrow for the STAMPtember Blog Party which uses Eucalyptus Leaves dies along with Inside Christmas Greetings stamp set and the previously released Sketchy Lines Background. I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for the fun!

Beautiful co!ours on a beautiful card. Always an inspiration Debby. Love the stencil. Looking forward to the next one.
Loved your card! I am getting this leaf stencil for sure now! Thank you for the inspiration! . I also signed up for your email notices…
Absolutely stunning, you are so talented Debby! I love it
This card is absolutely fabulous! You are so talented at water colouring. I love coming to your blog to get some inspiration. And your choice of colours and shading is always so perfect. I have to say I am also really excited for tomorrow, the sneak peak really caught my eye. And that leaf die is my favourite from the release. Looking forward to tomorrows post!
WOW Debby, this is so beautiful, the pastel shades you chose are spot on as usual. This is such a pretty stencil and you have cleverly used it in a way I might not have thought to do. TFS!
Gorgeous! Always love your color combos, soft and beautiful. I thought the stencil was pretty and all but you made me want to have to have it, lol. As always thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Wow, that’s beautiful!
I LOVE the Tumbling Leaves card! It is so soft and flowing. I wish I could replicate it, but I just don’t have the watercolor painting talent.
I love this so much, Debby! I’ve never tried to pencil-outline a stencil and then watercolor it…I guess you need to have a really light touch? I know that watercolor will trap pencil lines…..
Sandy, I outline in pencil then lightly erase the lines so I can just see them because as you say, they will become trapped under the watercolour :D
