HAPPY fall for Prickley Pear Stamps

Hey everybody! Hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a gorgeous Fall card to share with you today to warm you up just in case your weather is still a bit chilly! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I created this pretty acetate front card for Prickley Pear Stamps this past Fall which is a direct CASE of a Fall card I made for another design team using the same leaf stamps and dies but different cardstock, embellishments and border die. Prickley Pear’s owner saw the other card and requested a sample, so I got busy! This card features the Fall Leaves stamp set with coordinating Leaf die set along with the Stitched Scallop Border die set. The main differences on this card are ivory cardstock and gemstones, whereas the original card was created with white cardstock and had wood heart embellishments. The scalloped border dies look basically the same and would be very difficult to tell one brand from the other, but the angle on this card is slightly different.

I cut a standard A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock. I cut a section out of the front flap of the card base with a die from the Stitched Scallop Border die set, adhered the acetate to the back side of the flap, and adhered the bottom portion of the front flap to the front of the acetate. I stamped the front and inside sentiments in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Fall Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating Leaf Die Set, I stamped several sets of leaves in brown ink and die cut them, keeping the leaves in the negative spaces by putting small strips of washi tape on the back side of the cardstock. I inked the die cuts with carved pumpkin, fired brick, forest moss, walnut stain distress inks, and once dry, I removed the washi tape from the back side of the cardstock and removed the die cuts. I adhered the die cuts randomly to the inside of the card base being sure to cover all areas visible through the acetate. I adhered several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick Up Stick.

Here’s a shot of the inside panel with all the die cuts in place.

And one more look with the card closed. Such a pretty design that was fairly labor-intensive but definitely worth the time it took to assemble! LOVE this stamp set and coordinating dies!
