I know it's still summer but I CAN'T WAIT for FALL!!!!! I am officially a fall freak! I love everything about it! The weather, the leaves, the breeze, apple picking, pumpkin picking, the holidays, everything! In the Northeast – where I live – it is absolutely GORGEOUS in the fall! The weather is in the 60's and 70's and I am just happy all the time! So, in anticipation of that glorious time of year, I created this "fall" card using our Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper and the Gently Falling Stamp Set. The Chocolate Chip background is Core'dinations Cardstock from the Neutrals Collection. I ran it through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with a Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then used a Sanding Tool to distress it.
The base card is Crushed Curry Cardstock with a layer of Tangerine Tango Cardstock and then the Chocolate Chip Core'dinations Cardstock. The top layers are both patterns from Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper and they are bordered with Crushed Curry Cardstock andTangerine Tango Cardstock. The leaves from Gently Falling Stamp Set were stamped first in Versamark Ink and then embossed using Gold Embossing Powder and a Stampin' Heat Tool.
A strip of Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper was used to accent the Very Vanilla Cardstock intereior.
The greeting is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and was inked in Versamark Ink and then embossed using Gold Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. The Chocolate Chip Cardstock was then punched using a 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch and then layered onto a piece of Tangerine Tango Cardstock that was punched using a 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch. Card Making is definitely easier when you have good tools! A Crushed Curry Button was used to accent the front of the card. Linen Thread is tied through it and it is adhered with Glue Dots. All Suppplies are Stampin' Up!, listed below, and can be found in my ONLINE STORE along with many other amazing products for your Paper Crafting needs! Enjoy! 😀
