Beautiful Fall Card using the Aspen Tree Dies

I wasn’t sure about the Aspen Tree Dies but decided to get them when they were added to the Sale-a-bration products and I’m so glad I got them. The background layer with the trees and the beautiful leaves were cut with these dies.

 
 

This large die creates a great background layer. I lightly sponged them using one of our Sponge Daubers. The dies for the leaves emboss and cut and they are beautiful!

 
 

The leaves were cut from the Brushstroke Specialty Paper. It has gorgeous textured patterns and it works so well with the leaf dies.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Crumb Cake Card Base - 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2 (top folding)

  • Very Vanilla Cardstock - 2 pieces cut at 5 1/4 x 4

  • Place the large tree die in the center of one of the Very Vanilla piece and cut with your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

  • Lightly sponge some Crumb Cake Ink on the trees with a Sponge Dauber. Blot it on a piece of scrap before adding to the piece to keep it light.

  • Adhere the sponged layer to the other Very Vanilla Layer using Dimensionals. I used the regular and mini Dimensionals to get a good sturdy layer.

  • Adhere the layers to the card base.

  • Brushstroke Specialty Paper - cut one large and 2 small leaves from the Soft Succulent paper.

  • Stamp sentiment with Soft Succulent Ink and cut with the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin Dies.

  • Adhere the leaves and sentiment to layer.

 
 

I love how the sponging gives the card a soft look and the embossed leaves cut from the Brushstroke Specialty Paper are just gorgeous.

 
 

On the inside layer stamp the sentiment with Soft Succulent Ink. The sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set. Cut 2 more small leaves and adhere them to the top and bottom corners.
