Autumn Birthday

Hello,

I wish I had more reasons to make autumn cards because I love, love, love the colors! I made this one for my hairdresser who has a birthday on the first day of autumn.

CARD BASE:

100# Simon Says Stamp Cardstock, Slate, cut to 4.25 x 11 inches and folded in half to make a top-folding card of 4.25 x 5.5 inches
Hero Arts Ink Pad, Charcoal
Northwoods Maple Leaf Red Rubber Stamp – This is difficult to see, but I stamped around the perimeter of the front of the card with the leaf stamp.

PANELS

Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid 6 x 6 Pad, Fall, trimmed to 3.75 x 5 inches
Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Die, 2.25 x 3.5 inches
Cardstock, Orange Peel
Simon Says Stamp Cardstock, Ivory – Die cut orange and ivory cardstock with the same die.

LEAVES

Strathmore Bristol Paper
Northwoods Maple Leaf Red Rubber Stamp
VersaMark Clear Ink Pad
Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold Embossing Powder
MISTI Stamping Tool
heat gun
Zig Markers
Tim Holtz Waterbrush
Faber-Castell PITT Pen, Walnut Brown – go over the lines

SENTIMENT

Stampendous Birthday Wish Card Sentiments Stamp Set
Hero Arts Ink Pad, Charcoal
MISTI

PUT IT TOGETHER and EMBELLISH

Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Runner Permanent Tape Runner for layers and leaves – Bend the tips of the leaves upward.
Westrim Crafts Jute Twine – Tie into a bow.
Zots Clear Adhesive Dots to adhere the bow
Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss – Ripened Pumpkin
Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss – Dark Walnut

I used some of the leftover plaid paper to decorate the inside of the card. I just love the way these leaves turned out. I was skeptical about using the Rose Gold Embossing Powder on the leaves, but it turned out to be a good choice. I hope you like it and get inspired to make some autumn cards.

Until later,

Trish
