Fall Greetings

Hey everybody! I hope you had a good weekend and are keeping relatively cool. Our temps have reached the 90s here (while everybody else around us has been in the low 100s) and I’m now ready for Fall, lol! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a shaped Fall-themed card. Our orange, brown and gold cardstock is on sale this month so I used Coffee Bean and Brick Orange from our new Lessebo line paired with our Gold Glitter cardstock. I also used Lessebo Dawn Maroon and my studio staple, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. This is the first time I’ve used this background stamp from Taylored Expressions and I really love how this card turned out. I see lots of different color palettes being used with this stamp for various seasons or holidays. ;)

I started by stamping the background in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the Taylored Expressions In Bloom cling stamp. Then, using the coordinating clear stamps, I filled in the blooms and leaves using Catherine Pooler Daydream, Over Coffee, Peppermint Scrub, Tiara, Orange Peel and Eucalyptus inks. I added several small Eyelet Outlet clear glitter enamel dots to the center of three of the blooms.

Next, using the Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches dies, I cut the card base from Lessebo Coffee Bean and layering panels from Lessebo Brick Orange and the stamped Solar White cardstock panel. I die cut the F-A-L-L letters from Lessebo Dawn Maroon and Gold Glitter using the KIS Cuts Twinkling Stars Font which I layered together in an offset fashion. I stamped the second portion of the sentiment on a Solar White scrap in Icing on the Cake ink (using the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Autumn Sentiments stamp set) which I trimmed.

Using the same arched dies, I cut the inside panels from Lessebo Brick Orange and Solar White cardstock and embellished the bottom with leftover strips of the stamped background and gold glitter cardstock used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Autumn Sentiments stamp set on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, fussy cut it and colored the word ‘Fall’ with an alcohol marker.
