Gather Together Autumn Card

Well, it’s time for Fall! I love everything about Fall; the colors, the change in temperature, apple picking, I could go on and on.

 
Gather Together Fall Card2.jpg
 

I created a background pattern for this card using the Gather Together Stamp Set and cut the pumpkins with the coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies.

Tips & Instructions

  • Cinnamon Cider Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Whisper White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Stamp large leaf image randomly on the Whisper White Layer with Cinnamon Cider Ink.

  • Stamp dots between leaves with Bumblebee Ink. I used some scrap paper to cover the leaves when stamping the dots to be sure I didn’t get the dots on the leaves.

  • Bumblebee Strip - 4 x 1 3/4

  • Whisper White Strip - 4 x 1 1/2, stamp sentiment using Cinnamon Cider Ink and stamp dots around with Bumblebee Ink.

  • Stamp pumpkins on scrap of Whisper White Cardstock with Pumpkin Pie Ink and cut with coordinating dies from the Gather Leaves Dies.

  • Squeeze a Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad to get ink on the inside of the top. Using Wink Of Stella Brush pick up some of the ink and color the pumpkins. Before you color, brush a piece of scrap to get some ink off the brush so it’s not too dark. Do the same for the stem using Cinnamon Cider Ink. You’ll get a watercolor look with a little shine to it.

  • Adhere strips together and then adhere to layer and then to card base.

  • Adhere large pumpkin to strip and smaller pumpkins using Dimensionals.

  • Tie bow with Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon and adhere below sentiment with Glue Dots.

On the inside, stamp sentiment with Early Espresso Ink. I made this a birthday card and used the Happiest Of Birthdays Stamp Set.

Stamp leaves using Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron Inks. Stamp the detailed outline layer directly and stamp off with the filler to get lighter shade. I stamped off with the Cajun Craze twice to get an even lighter shade.

(Stamping Off means you stamp on a piece of scrap paper to remove a layer of ink, so when you stamp you get a lighter shade of the same color.)

Field Of Flowers & Ornate Layers - Thinking Of You

I love how this card turned out. I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) this card from the Annual Catalog. If you look at the very first page, you’ll see a similar card. I made a few changes but the basic card is the same.

 
Field Of Flowers & Ornate Layers Card1.jpg
 

The stamp set I used was the Field Of Flowers and it has some pretty, delicate images. I also used the Ornate Layers Dies and the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

 
Field Of Flowers & Ornate Layers -stamp.jpg

Field Of Flowers & Ornate Layers card2.jpg
 

The inside layer is 5 1/4 x 3 so it doesn’t show through to the front. Stamp the leaves and grasses across the bottom with Garden Green Ink. Stamp the larger flowers with Bumblebee Ink. Stamp the smaller flowers with Terracotta Tile Ink (matches the butterfly on the front). I just inked one of the small flowers and stamped it where I wanted it instead of the entire group of flowers. It was easy to do because of the way the flowers are laid out on the the stamp.
