Changing Leaves in Pretty Peacock
October 12, 2024
The Changing Season bundle is in the Online Exclusives in the Stampin Up! Online Store. This bundle consists of a stamp set and a hybrid embossing folder. The folder embosses, but it can also emboss and cut out some of the leaves. The embossing is so pretty.
I decided to show you the close up first just to show you!
The base of this card is Pretty Peacock. That color is so rich. Cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score at 4 1/4. Cut another piece of Pretty Peacock that is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. Emboss this piece with the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder. Glue this to the front of the card. That's the easiest way to do it.
Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 1 1/2 x 5 1/2. This is a new color for Stampin' Up! It will be part of our basic line, not In Colors. Add a piece of the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper down the center. Cut this piece 1 1/4 x 5 1/2. Add this accent piece about a half inch over. I use my Grid Paper to make sure that I get something like this straight. Hopefully your strip will align perfectly. If it doesn't, simply trim the strip even with the card. You might have to trim the card a little. I usually cut my stuff just a tad long so I don't have to trim the card.
The design is assembled at the right of the strip and near the middle. I cut the following pieces for this card.
Double Leaf die in Basic Beige and Lost Lagoon. Cut one in Pretty Peacock for the inside of the card.
Single Leaf die in Pretty Peacock.
Branch type die four in Copper Clay.
Arrange these as you please noting that the sentiment piece will cover some of the mess. I did layer my pieces to add a little more interest. Glue all pieces. Glue sparingly.
The sentiment layer is cut from Basic Beige using the Nested Essentials dies. The saying is stamped in Copper Clay. It comes from the Country Birdhouse stamp set. Add a bow of Linen Thread with a rolled up glue dot.
Embellish with the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds. That little bit of gold looks perfect! I love these too because they are flat and helps with mailing!
This is the inside of the card. It's so simple I hated to show you, but look how pretty.
This card would be great for a masculine friend, but really, it's great for everyone. It's a great autumn card!
