I recently spent some time in Vermont, so I’m thinking about Autumn. Of course, Vermont is always beautiful. We were there as the leaves were just beginning to change. I saw hints of bright orange, yellow and “Cherry Cobbler” dotting the green mountains. At the foot of beautiful mountain views, there was a small stream at the end of our property. There were horse stables on the other side of the stream. We watched the horses wandering near the stream each morning. They are such beautiful animals.
Anyway, I’m back in New Jersey, and it’s all about Autumn for me. I thought it would be fun to celebrate the Season with another card using the Autumn Expressions Designer Series Paper. It’s a quick and easy card, but the addition of the sentiment layer and gold embossed sentiment makes this card super special.
By the way, I used Stampin’ Up!’s new Embossing Powder. I saw a huge difference in the result. The new Powder is finer in texture and, to me, it melts faster and more evenly.
So, let’s make a card! You can download a PDF Tutoril. There are photos so you can see how I put the sentiment frame together.
Pieces & Parts
- I cut a Very Vanilla cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, and scored it at 4 1/4″.
- The Cajun Craze cardstock card layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- I cut the patterned paper layer 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I die cut the sentiment label using gold cardstock.
- I die cut a second sentiment layer using Cajun Craze cardstock. This gave me the inside embossed sentiment piece.
- The sentiment is embossed using Gold Embossing Powder.
- Once I attached the layers to the card base, I adhered two lines of Stampin’ Seal to the right side of the top patterned paper layer.
- I folded about 9″ of ribbon in half and attached it to the Stampin’ Seal.
- The sentiment layer is attached with Dimensionals over the ribbon.
I created a quick PDF Tutorial with photos that you can download to see how I attached the Cajun Craze sentiment layer to the gold frams.
I thought it would be fun to stamp the inside of the card and add a little stamped image.
This is such a quick and easy design, and I had fun heating up my Embossing Tool.
So, think Autumn! Find a great piece of patterned paper, attach a special sentiment layer and create something shiny to share.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
