CELEBRATING FALL!!
Today I'm showing a few fall cards. I love the fall colors, don't you? Here is the first card, outside & also the inside of the card:
The Stamp Sets & Dies I used are:
Life is Beautiful (154871) and Autumn Goodness (153454), Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies (153568), OR THE BUNDLE - save 10% - Autumn Goodness BUNDLE (155194). These can be found in the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog.
Cardstock and measurements:
Base: Bumblebee, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored/folded at 4 1/4"
Layer: Early Espresso, 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"
Stamped piece: Whisper White, 3 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Fence - die cut out of a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock. Wheelbarrow and wheel: Early Espresso.
Inks: Bumblebee, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Early Espresso.
Let's make this card!
Stamp the tree image in Early Espresso ink. Stamp leaves in all the fall colors, some on the ground under the tree. Stamp the sentiment from Life is Beautiful set in espresso.
Adhere the espresso cardstock to the bumblebee base (I used the Mulitipurpose Liquid glue). Then adhere the stamped image piece.
Add the fence on top of all layers (the die cut is exactly as wide as the card base!)
INSIDE:
Die cut the wheelbarrow & wheel from Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies out of Early Espresso CS. On a whisper white CS 3 3/4" x 5", stamp more leaves in any colors you choose, stamping some leaves that will be "behind/inside" the wheelbarrow - you can determine the location by placing (no yet glueing) the wheelbarrow where you want it, then stamp leaves behind. Stamp sentiment from Autumn Goodness set. Adhere this to inside of card. Finally, glue the wheelbarrow to inside of card.
Wasn't that fun?!
****************************************************************
I love wreaths, all year round, not just at Christmas time. So for this card, I created a fall, or Thanksgiving wreath card. The stamp set, from the Annual Catalog, is, appropriately, ARRANGE A WREATH (
152587), WREATH BUILDER DIES (
152722) - or the best deal, a bundle: Arrange a Wreath Bundle (
154109). Use this set and coordinating dies to create some beautiful wreaths for any season or time of year.
Card base: Bumblebee 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded 4 1/4". Layer of DSP from Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP (
153520) 4" x 5 1/4". Layer of Early Espresso CS 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Die cut the wreath of leaves in Old Olive card stock; die cut the other wreath in Pumpkin Pie.
I also used leaves and acorn punched out using the Autumn Punch Pack (
153609) from the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini. Also available in the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (
155189). Punch out leaves (oak leaf, maple leaf) in Real Red CS. Punch acorns in espresso. Die cut smallest flower in Bumblebee.
Glue wreaths to the DSP, and glue the leaves, acorns, and little flowers to the wreath.
Stamp sentiment in lower right corner in espresso ink.
Cut a piece of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (
153658) and glue across the bottom of the DSP.
Now glue the DSP to the Espresso layer, and then glue all onto the card base.
*******************************************************
One final card, using the Life Is Beautiful stamp set (
154871). The runner is from the set Do the Impossible (retired). The sentiment is from Sending Sunshine (
152592).
Card Base: Old Olive 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", fold at 4 1/4"
Layer: Plaid Tidings 6"x6" DSP (
153527) from Aug-Dec Mini catalog: cut 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".
Very Vanilla for stamping images and sentiment. Sentiment is die cut with Stitched Rectangles dies (
151820).
DSP on the envelope is cut with the Envelope Dies (
153531) in the Mini Catalog. Available also in a bundle: Ornamental Envelopes Bundle (
155168).
