Beautiful Aspen Leaves for a Beautiful Fall Night

-

I love the cooler nights that follow beautiful fall days, but mostly I love the colors of fall. And this VERY quick card totally captures what I love.



Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post)
  • Early Espresso card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/4")
  • Very Vanilla layers ( two 4" x 5-1/4", 1" x 3")
  • Cajun Craze scrap
  • Copper Foil scrap
  • Linen Thread (about 14")

Directions
  1. Die cut the trees from the Very Vanilla layer (you use the negative, so align it well on one of the 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla pieces.
  2. Die cut the large leaf from the Cajun Craze and the small leaf from the Copper Foil.
  3. Stamp greeting on the 1" x 3" Very Vanilla layer using Cajun Craze ink.
  4. Adhere the trees layer to the card base using dimensionals, taking care to pop up the backs of some of the trees as well.
  5. Adhere the sentiment layer to the trees layer so that the right edges align.
  6. Adhere the leaves as shown.
  7. Double up the linen thread and tie a bow. Trim ends and attach to the leaf bases with a glue dot.
  8. On the inside of the card, die cut a scalloped rectangle from the remaining Very Vanilla layer and a small leaf from the Copper Foil scrap and adhere to the inside.
  9.  Not shown on video because I forgot: Adhere three coper dots from the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

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. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
