Fall is here and brings with it beautiful colors. This card featuring the new Autumn Meadows designer series paper from the Holiday Mini catalog. Although it uses Really Rust, More Mustard and Taken with Teal, I used the In Colors Dusty Durange. Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay – mix and match the colors that you have! In addition, the following Stampin’ Up! products were used:
- Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango and Whisper White Cardstock
- Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Markers
- Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
- Blender Pen
- Dusty Durange Polka Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon
- Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set
- Chit Chat Rub-ons
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
- SNAIL Adhesive
- Crystal Effects
To make this card, first start with the standard landscape card in Dusty Durango, then cut a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of the bark-like patterned paper from Autumn Meadows (or other desired pattern). Adhere to the card front.
Cut a piece of 3×3 Whisper White, 3-1/8 x 3-1/8 of Dusty Durango, and 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 of Bermuda Bay.
Place the Whisper White piece of paper on the patterned designer series paper you selected and then stamp the large tree from Lovely as a Tree on the left and it also goes onto the designer series paper (using Chocolate Chip ink). Then ink and stamp the horizontal tree stamp from Lovely as a Tree – some of the image on the white paper and some on the designer series paper.
Then adhere the Whisper White to Dusty Durango and then that to the Bermuda Bay. Cut a small piece of Dusty Durango polka dotted ribbon, fold, and adhere to the back of this panel. Adhere this panel to the card front.
Next cut a small strip of the brown leafy patterned paper under the greeting you select (I used Peaceful Wishes from Chit Chat rub-ons collection).
Then ink the leaves from Lovely as a Tree in Chocolate Chip, then use the Stampin’ Write markers and color different areas of the stamp in the different colors (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durange), and then stamp on scrap. I then used the Chocolate Chip ink and Blender pen to fill in the leaf.
Lastly, finish the card by adding Crystal Effects to the leaf and set aside for a while to let it dry completely. Then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Other Thoughts:
- Use Really Rust, More Mustard or Taken with Teal.
- Add sponging with Chocolate Chip Ink.
- Add more "trees" in Really Rust or Dusty Durango.
- Stamp a larger greeting.
- Cut, color and add more leaves (and using Crystal Effects).
- Staple the piece of ribbon to the top/front instead of tucking behind the focal point panel.
