We’re coming up to my three favourite seasons of the year and I just love the trees in Autumn (the rain not so much!). Sometimes our Online Exclusives get missed so I often use them in class.
I’ve combined 2 things I love designing here; seasonal and fun fold cards.
I say it’s a fun fold but it’s very simply cutting the card base a little shorter than a regular one to create an offset front.
When you’ve got papers as beautiful as Gathering Leaves DSP, why not let it do the heavy lifting on your card?
Artistic Leaves Stamp Set has 2 step stamping leaves and I used the biggest one for my card. Ideally, you don’t want your ink pads to be too juicy to capture the beautiful detail on this leaf. In my video I show you how to push the ink to the side of your ink pad if you have this problem. I used Cazun Craze for the more detailed leaf and stamped onto a scrap of Basic White Cardstock. Then I stamped the plainer image in Pumpkin Pie. Sadly there aren’t dies to coordinate with this set but it was really easy to fussy cut the leaf.
I used a couple more Online Exclusive products as I thought they were too cute to miss. Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder and the beautiful Irregular Woven Trim. It’s also easy to overlook the gorgeous Earthen Toned Speciality Paper in the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue so I popped it behind the embossed layer. All finished off with Streaked Dots also in the mini catalogue.
