Loveliest Tree Fall Card - Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is "Season Where You Live". Since our hop participants come from North America and Australia there will be a variety of seasonal projects! Are you ready for some fabulous projects?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Shirley Merker's blog. What an fabulous project she shared!

It's fall in my neck of the woods and I'm was thinking ahead to Thanksgiving when creating my card. My card features the Loveliest Tree Dies which I paired with a sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set and paper from the Country Woods designer series paper (DSP) pack.

Loveliest Tree Dies #163715

Country Woods DSP #163393

I tried to capture the changing leaves that occur in fall. I die cut tree tops from Wild Wheat, Peach Pie, and Pumpkin Pie cardstock and used sponge daubers to add coordinating ink to each die cut. It brings color variation which I think makes them look more realistic. The backgound paper is from the Country Woods DSP pack; I used a different pattern for the tree trunk die cuts.

I stamped a sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on Lost Lagoon cardstock, then added a bit of Crumb Cake baker's twine. What do you think? Does this card invoke fall and it's changing leaf colors?

Leave me a comment letting me know your thoughts on this simple fall card.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Fall Beauty of Friendship

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects with a Fall theme. Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, created a Fall-themed project. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Sue Boerner's blog. I enjoyed her project!

My project features the Beauty of Friendship stamp set to create a tree with fall-colored leaves. Although this stamp set is bundled with coordinating Beautiful Trees dies, for my project I only used the stamps. I paired a sentiment from Banner Year stamp set with texture from In Good Taste designer series paper (DSP) to create a woodsy feel.

Beauty of Friendship bundle #155834

Banner Year stamp set #158239

In Good Taste DSP #152494

You'll want to break out the hot apple cider when you get this card in your mailbox!

But wait! It gets even better - it's a fun fold card and there's a baby squirrel inside!

The Beauty of Friendship is a unique 2-step stamp set. The base image for the tree leaves adds depth and contrast even before stamping the separate leaf highlight image on top. I stamped the tree leaves just once with Mango Melody ink and it looks like I stamped off because of the lighter and darker Mango Melody leaves, but I didn't - the stamp did it. Very cool! I used a Cajun Craze marker directly on the stamp in a few spots toward the bottom before stamping the leaf highlights to give my tree a late fall look. Then I added a bit of Misty Moonlight around the tree with a blending brush. 

I think this card would work well as a Thanksgiving card using either the With a Grateful Heart or Happy Thanksgiving sentiments from the Banner Year set. 

Do you send Fall or Thanksgiving cards or give a card to your Thanksgiving host? Please leave a comment sharing how you use Fall-themed cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Gilded Autumn Fall

Hello friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month were highlighting Designer Series Paper (DSP) and celebrating Fall. All the blog posts in this hop feature projects created by talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, so you'll see Fall themes that may differ from our typical US themes. It's fascinating! Each month we share fun projects and various design styles. You may have arrived from Sue Boerner’s blog. Her project is fabulous!

I love fun folds and when I saw a pop-up mini cube card I knew I had to try my hand at creating one! 

I used Gilded Autumn DSP with Cajun Craze and Early Espresso cardstock. It's a color combination that reminds me of Fall leaves and these colors coordinate perfectly with a pattern found in the Gilded Autumn DSP pack.

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop -- Fall/Thanksgiving Projects

Hello friends,

Welcome to our Fall/Thanksgiving Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. Our projects focus on celebrating the change of seasons and being grateful. If you arrived from Katie Johnson's blog, you saw her wonderful project!

My project incorporates Fall colors in a card that expresses gratitude. Although it features Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, and touches of gold, it uses several items with Christmas in their name, proving their versatility!

When I was designing this card, I wanted to create a card that could be sent in the Fall, not only at Thanksgiving. I had seen Libby Fen's Halloween card (click here to see it) and was inspired to include my favorites--Woven Heirloom Frame dies and 3D embossing folders.

For accents, I wanted to include the leaf sprigs in the Christmas Layers dies. Then I saw a card Vicki Boucher made with vellum springs that she sponged with Delicata Celestial Copper metallic ink and I was sold! Check out her card by clicking here.

In pulling these elements together, I realized DSP was needed. I found the perfect neutral in the Night Before Christmas 6x6" DSP stack.

Before I knew it, my gratitude card, with touches of Delicata Golden Glitz metallic ink on the embossed frame and the sprigs, came together. I added an oval of vellum in the center of the frame...what do you think? Have the Delicata metallic inks become your favorites? Are you also in love with the Woven Heirloom dies and embossing folders? I'd love to hear what your favorite products currently are. I know I am grateful for these products!
