The Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest suite of products says “fall” to me in a big way. However, I needed a simple gift and thought Melon Mambo would be a splashy switch up from traditional fall colors. Tomorrow I’ll have a new 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial for you with quick tips for putting this pretty gift all together.
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
Each 3 x 3 card was created with Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White Card Stock. Large or small – it’s perfect for a card base.
- Tone on Tone. Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set is a two step stamp set which offers so many color possibilities as you layer. However, I simply layered Melon Mambo on Melon Mambo since there is plenty of shading built into the stamp.
Painted Harvest Stamp Set – Images © Stampin’ Up! - What’s that stamp for? The tiny dotted stamp brings texture to the flower center.
- Smoky Slate 1/2″ Gingham Ribbon proved to be a beautiful way to wrap up the three 3 x 3 cards with three Whisper White 3 x 3 envelopes (envelopes available Sept. 1 in the Holiday Catalog).
- The wood crate and tag were cropped with the Wood Crate Framelits Dies. The sentiment (I love the look) is from Wood Words Stamp Set. Both are from the Annual Catalog and available for purchase now. Save 10% when you purchase them as a bundle.

You are so observant, Miss Donna. That tiny flower is from the Stampin’ Up! Paisley Framelits Dies.
This is gorgeous! Simple but elegant!
Oh Mary these are just the cutest cards. This is on my wish list.
Have a great Friday!

I would never have thought to use Melon Mambo with this stamp. It is beautiful.
Just when I think I DO NOT NEED another flower stamp…Stampin Up does this to me. Love this
What do you use for an envelope for a 3×3 card?
Hi Lois: Stampin’ Up! is bringing back the 3 x 3 envelopes in the Holiday Catalog. That’s what I used. Thanks for your question. Mary
Mary I love this stamp set and you have created such a wonderful card with it! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
I love ALL of your cards but this little 3×3 set, bundled in a wood crate is just ADORABLE!!
Oh how sweet MsMary. Who said the flowers have to be fall colors, right ?i love those little cards ,
Tfs
Hugs Frenchie ♥️
Thanks so much for your sweet comments!
I love this little bundle of cards, Mary! Perfect for any occasion! I also love the built-in shading on these stamps. You always amaze me with your designs.
Would love to see how you decorated the mini envelopes that you put with this set! Thanks for sharing this set, Mary. They are gorgeous as always.
Hi Debbie: I kept them clean and whisper white. However, they would be sweet with a touch of the wood designer paper on the flaps or stamped with the leaves from Painted Harvest stamp set on the front (right or left). So many more possibilities! Hugs, M
Thanks, Mary! I always love how you coordinate your envelopes!
Can the 3 x 3 card we sent in the mail or is it just as a gift card?
The 3 x 3 does not meet the minimum requirement for USPS. It’s perfect as a gift tag or tucked in as a little surprise (under a pillow, in a lunch bag, taped to a mirror)!
These little minis are WOWZA! Mary, I must say thank you to you! Each and every day I check out your blog. You and your blog are AMAZING!
Thanks for all you share.
I sure love sharing, Bonnie. Your comments inspire me to create! Stamping is my happy place!
Your comments bring sunshine and kindness to my day! Thanks so much. I was really happy with this little gift!
Love this! I’m sure the recipient will enjoy it. I love seeing the little crate made up in the wood look paper…very cool. It’s always fun to see you think outside the box with colors and occasions for products! Have a great day ☺️
Beautiful cards! I’m sure the recipient will love and enjoy using them.
Beautiful cards, Mary. I love the Melon Mambo for this sunflower. Have a wonderful day!
