I just love the fall and this beautiful Magical Meadow Bundle from the new September – December mini catalog released today is perfect for a fall card. I wanted to use some of those great fall colors and here is what I came up with…
The card base is Mossy Meadow cut to 4 ¼ x
11” and scored at 5 ½”. I cut a piece of
Cajun Craze (in my mind a perfect fall color) to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with
the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder and added it to my card base. I stamped two of the leafy branches onto
scraps of Basic White cardstock using Old Olive ink and die cut them using the
coordinating dies. Then I got to work on
my other pieces cutting them out of scraps of cardstock etc. that I had in my
stash. I cut three of the holly leaves
from the dies in the bundle out of Gold Foil, two of the smaller branch pieces
out Mossy Meadow, two of the larger branches (the ones with berries) out of Old
Olive cardstock and finally I cut out a bunch of berries from Cherry Cobbler
cardstock (he dies cut 11 at a time so it’s not too bad).
Next, I stamped my sentiment “The colder
weather brings us together” onto a small piece of Basic White cardstock with
Old Olive ink and die cut it using one of the square dies from the Stylish
Shapes Dies (I use these a lot). I
decided where on my card I wanted to add my sentiment and then I attached it
using Dimensionals. With this added I
could start building my card. I adhered
the smaller branches directly to the card base having them come out along side
and under my sentiment. Then I added the
larger branches and the berries as needed to the branches at this point. Once those were all adhered, I added my two
stamped images using Dimensionals and at the center of those I added my gold
holly leaves. Two are adhered to the
other pieces but the center left one need a Dimensional to keep it even with
the others.
For my final embellishment I added a bow
made from the Copper Ribbon (it is actually part of a pack of two ribbons) and
Linen Thread. I adhered them it to the
center where the three holy leaves meet using Mini Dimensionals. I added three of the Brushed Metallic
Adhesive Backed Dots to finish off the care.
I was quite pleased with my results.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can
