Happy Autumn

11/12/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Howdy, friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I’m back with my second post today to share one more Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with paper, dies and ephemera in the Farmhouse Fall Collection. I tell you, I sure have enjoyed these products and I could create Autumn and Fall stuff all year long! This is a flat card (meaning there is no flap and the second sentiment is on the back – kind of like a post card) with a raised inlaid die cut. I totally love the this technique and seem to be doing it often these days!

I cut a standard A2 size flat card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from a patterned paper in the 6×9 CardStock Pack. Using the largest background die in the Happy Autumn KIS Cuts, I cut an aperture into the layering panel and then cut two more background pieces from Basis Natural which I layered together for dimension. I die cut the rest of the pieces from papers in the Cardstock Pack, assembled the focal image and adhered it to the layered background, and then adhered it into the negative space on the card front. The finishing touch was adding a few Jade enamel dots.

I cut the back panel from Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the green paper used on the front. I added a sentiment from the Falling For You Ephemera Die Cut Pieces and layered the panel on navy paper.
