A Splendid September Day

-

 Here in southern Maine, it was a gorgeous September day... low 70's, sunny and breezy. I love September because the weather is mostly comfortable and it's the season when the beauty of New England really shows its colors, literally!

As I was preparing for this week's Friday Night Live, I knew I wanted to turn toward the fall season, even though it technically doesn't begin until later this month. And, as I looked at my supplies, I thought the Splendid Day Specialty DSP would come into play because of it's multi-seasonal nature. And because I have had it for awhile and not even opened the cellophane!



Measurements (a complete list of supplies can be found at the end of this post)
  • Sahara Sand card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
  • Sahara Sand layers (4" x 5-1/4", scrap)
  • Early Espresso layer (at least 3-1/2" x 5", you'll trim it down later)
  • Splendid Day DSP (six pieces measuring 5/8" x 3" each, 3/4" x 5-1/4")
  • Basic White layer (4" x 5-1/4")

Directions
  1. Emboss the Sahara Sand layer using the Timeworn Type embossing folder and then adhere to card base.
  2. Arrange strips as desired and adhere to Early Espresso layer, maintaining consistent borders on the top and left sides, as well as between strips.
  3. Trim Early Espresso layer on the bottom and the right side so those borders are consistent with the top and left edges. Adhere to card base.
  4. Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink on scrap Sahara Sand. Punch out using the the Label Me Lovely punch and adhere to card front using dimensionals.
  5. Add Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots as desired.
  6. Adhere 3/4" x 5-1/4" strip of DSP to the Basic White layer and then adhere to the inside of the card.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer.
