Today’s card features the beautiful Earthen Treasures Bundle and the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper. I loved this set as soon as I saw it in the new Annual Catalog and believe me when I say it is even more impressive in person. The Designer Series Paper is based off of actual pottery that one of the Stampin’ Up! Designers created. I couldn’t wait to break it out and created with it.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼” (I am so happy Stampin’ Up! decided to bring this color back it is one of my all-time favorites). Then I made a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it using the Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. To this I added a piece of the beautiful Designer Series Paper that measured 3 x 5 ¼”.
To decorate the front of my card I stamped
the wheat from the stamp set onto Basic White cardstock using Wild Wheat ink
and die cut it using the coordinating dies from the bundle. I used the dies to do all of the other pieces
as well. I started with the big leaf/plant
and die cut it out of Pretty Peacock cardstock, I then snipped the little bit
that attached the leaves to one another.
There is a natural score line in the die so I just pinched the two sides
up to create a 3D affect. I die cut the
other two pieces (a fern and some sticks) out of Wild Wheat and Copper Clay
cardstock. With those pieces done I
moved onto the clay pots. I die cut the
larger of the two out of the designer series paper and added the trim piece
which was cut out of Gold Foil. Next, I
die cut the top of the smaller pot out of the designer series paper and the
bottom out of Copper Clay cardstock. On
the smaller pot I used one of the dies that does not cut but embosses lines and
embossed the pot. Once that was done, I
just sponged some Copper Clay ink over it using a dauber. Now to assemble.
I decided where I wanted my pots and
starting with the smaller, I adhered the two pieces to the back side of the pot
so I could attach it as one piece to my card.
For the larger of the two pots, I added Dimensionals so it stood up in
front of the smaller pot. I stuck my
wheat and sticks down inside it and adhered them to the card front.
To finish the card, I added my sentiment “Your
thoughtfulness is much appreciated” which is also from the stamp set which was
stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock Ink and
then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies (I don’t know what I would do
without this die set I use it all the time).
I adhered that to the top of the larger pot and added a dimensional on
the right side to keep it even across the card.
I added three of the Copper Clay dots from the 2023 – 2025 In Color
Dots. Finally, for the inside of the
card I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment “You
always know just what to say and do” onto it using Pretty Peacock ink.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
