Basic Borders Dies Fall Card

Fall is my favorite season.  I love the cooler weather and the colors.  I love watching a lot of leaves fall with a breeze.  Today I have a fall card for you using the Basic Border dies and the Stitched Leaves dies.

The base of the card is Merry Merlot that measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, folded at 4 1/4.

On the front of the card glue a piece of the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper to the bottom.  Cut to 2 x 5 1/2.

You'll need a piece of Basic White that is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Cut near the bottom with the Basics Borders dies.  Make sure that the straight part of the die is straight on the paper and also look at the ends.  Make sure they extend over the paper the same on each side.

Using the Stitched Leaves dies, but leaves from Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, and Merry Merlot.  

Stamp the leaves from Welcoming Woods on this piece in Merry Merlot.  Glue down the leaves.  Add the saying from Timeless Tulips.

Add a bow of Linen Thread with a rolled up glue dot.

Glue the white piece to the front of the card at the top.

Add a 1 inch strip of the designer paper to the inside of the card.

I hope you like this card.  It's another simple one.  Thanks so much for joining me.

In Good Taste, Use Those Scraps

I love the natural look of the papers in the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.  It was so popular that it was carried over from last year's annual catalog to this year's catalog.  Over time, I've purchased several packs of this paper and I must admit that I have lots of scraps.  Here are two easy peasy cards that use my scraps.  These are great masculine cards that could be used for any occasion by changing the sentiment.

One card uses the scraps vertically and the other horizontally.  

The card base is Early Espresso that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.  The next layer is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4.

Cut a piece of basic white that is 3 3/4 x 5.  Cover the entire sheet with an Adhesive Sheet.  Burnish with your Bone Folder to make sure it sticks well all over the surface.  Peel off the adhesive and add the In Good Taste strips.  Don't worry about the strips sticking out over the edges.  Just turn over the layer and trim the ends to fit.

The Early Espress label is stamped with the Tailored Tag Punch.

The sentiment is from the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Cut out with the Layering Circles dies.  One card has a Linen Thread bow attached with a rolled up glue dot.  The second card has some of the Faux Suede Early Espresso Ribbon behind.  

Embellish with some of the Brushed Metallic Dots.

These cards are quite simple and easy to make.  You are also using up your scraps.  This technique could be used for any type of designer paper.  I'm so glad that you joined me today!

Facebook Live 10.20.2021 Welcoming Woods

We made two cards on my Facebook Live using the Welcoming Woods stamp set from the mini catalog.  Both have essentially the same layout.  One is for fall and the other is for winter.

We'll start with the fall card.

The base is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.

We are using the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper.  Cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Glue to the front of the card.

Use the Stitched Rectangle dies, the 2nd and 4th from the outside, to cut a frame from Basic Black card stock.  Use Foam Adhesive Strips on the back.

Cut a piece of Basic White 3  x 4 1/2.  Set up the trees from the Welcoming Woods stamp set on the Stamparatus.  Stamp in Memento Black.  You will need to shift the paper in order to cover all of it with trees.  Use Blending Brushes to add Mango Melody at the bottom and Misty Moonlight at the top.  Blend each together toward the center.  Add leaves in Memento Black.

Add the tree layer in the center of the card front.  Add the frame around it.

Cut a Mango Melody leaf using the Stitched Leaves dies.  

Stamp the saying from the set and use the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch at the end.  Add to the card with the Foam Adhesive Strips so everything will be the same height.

Add a bow from the Baker's Twine Essentials pack and a Matte Black Dot.

The base is the same as above.  The paper is from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Use the 4th rectangle in from the Stitched Rectangles dies to cut a hole out of the middle.  Glue the outside of the paper to the card front.

Stamp the trees, this time in Early Espresso, just as in the first card.

Stamp the snowflakes in Versamark and emboss in white.  SU now has the embossing powders available in groups.  The Basics group has white, black, and clear.

Add this layer back into the hole with Foam Adhesive Sheets on the back.

Emboss the same saying in white on a piece of Misty Moonlight.  Add one of the Wonderful Snowflakes.  The bow is from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.  Finish off with some Basic Rhinestones.

Here is the video for you.

Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Ephemera Pack

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge # 687.  This week we have a sketch.

I have not used the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper very much.  I think I did have something earlier in the week.  I am using this beautiful paper and the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack.  With its punch outs, this pack helps to make making a card easy, quick, and gorgeous.  Here's my card.

The base of this card is Rich Razzleberry 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded in half at 4 1/4.

The Blackberry Beauty DSP is cut to 3 x 5 1/2.  Use Gold Foil to add some interest at the top and bottom of this patterned paper.  I cut two pieces 3/4 x 4 1/2.  Add one to the top and one to the bottom.  I used glue and my grid paper to make sure it was all centered.  Glue all of that to the base of the card.  I had some Gold Foil left so I used a 1/4 inch to put under my focal piece.  I used the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the end of this foil.

The leaves and acorns are part of the Ephemera Pack.  Just punch it out.  I added this with dimensionals.  I also colored the entire image with Wink of Stella.  It's so pretty.  It really doesn't show in the picture.

The saying is from the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Stamp on a scrap of Basic White and trim around with snips.  Add the sentiment with glue.

For the inside of the card the words are from Welcoming Woods.  The stem is punched from the Ephemera Pack.  Do you notice the single leaves?  I have a couple smudges on my paper somehow.  I inked up one of the leaves from the stamp that had a group of leaves.  I stamped them where I needed them.  No mistakes, just a chance to embellish, right?

So there you go.  This card was easy and fast.  It's also beautiful if I do say so myself.  Thanks for checking out the blog today.  I hope you'll try this sketch.  It would work with lots of different designer papers.
