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
