Hello! Happy Autumn!!
It's that time of year for fall colors & pumpkins! Today's card layout is one I have used before, which I call the "split-front" card. It's one of my favorites to make. One of the reasons I like it - I like to overlap the front, focal piece, creating more dimension and interest. I'll give you the measurements and the supplies I used. Ready?
Supplies
- Stamp sets: Pretty Pumpkins, Nuts About Squirrels (sentiment).
- Dies: Detailed Pumpkin Dies (Bundled the dies with the Pretty Pumpkin stamps - save 10%), and Layering Circles Dies.
- Designer Series Papers: Beauty of the Earth DSP (leaves), and Pattern Party (polka dots).
- Card stock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White
- Stampin' Blends: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent (to color the pumpkins & leaves).
- Ink Pads: Cinnamon Cider (stamp the pumpkins), Early Espresso (sentiment).
- Embellishments: Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (in the Holiday Mini Catalog).
Measurements:
- Pumpkin Pie CS card base, 5 1/2" x 7 1/4". Score at 4 1/4".
- Beauty of the Earth DSP panels:
- large, front panel: 2 3/4" x 5 1/4".
- smaller, inside piece: 1 1/4" x 5 1/4".
- Polka Dot piece from Pattern Party DSP: 4" x 2 1/2".
- Die cut 2 scalloped circles using Layering Circles Dies, larger one is Pumpkin Pie CS, smaller is Basic White CS.
- Pieces of white CS to stamp the pumpkins & for the sentiment.
Focal Piece:
- Piece of Basic White: stamp the trio of pumpkins from Pretty Pumpkins stamp set using Cinnamon Cider ink; die cut using Detailed Pumpkins Dies.
- Color in the pumpkins & leaves with Light & Dark Pale Papaya and Lt & Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends. (If you want some darker shades on the pumpkins, use Pumpkin Pie Blends.)
- Stamp the sentiment from Nuts About Squirrels stamp set using Early Espresso Ink on to white CS strip. Cut one end as a banner/flag.
Assemble:
- Glue the DSP panels (Beauty of the Earth) to the Pumpkin Pie card base, larger one on the card front & smaller to the inside, aligning 1/8" from the right inside edge.
- Glue the polka dots DSP on next (to card front), lining up the right edge with the panel of Beauty of the Earth DSP.
- Focal Piece
- Glue the white scalloped circle on top of the Pumpkin Pie scalloped circle.
- Adhere the pumpkins using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Adhere the sentiment with a glue dot to the largest pumpkin, and use a Stampin' Dimensional where it overlaps the scallops.
- Add embellishments - Brushed Metallic Dots (I used the copper colored ones.)
- Now adhere it to the card front, using glue on just the area that will stick to the polka dots DSP (about 2/3 of the circle), leaving about 1/3 of the circle NOT glued, allowing the card to open.
There you have it.
