Fall Vibes

Hi friends, happy Monday! The Mondays sure do seem to roll around quickly these days, don’t they? Last month one of my projects was included in the top pick lineup over at Let’s Craft and Create, and included was an invite to guest design for a future challenge. So here I am! The challenges are always ‘anything goes’ with an optional theme, so come on over and play. For Challenge #236 – AG + The Colors of Fall, I created a fun pocket gatefold card, inspired by THIS post on Connie Stewart’s blog. Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons, and this card is a fun one and provides a great alternative for the gatefold card closure. I showcased papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall collection along with their kraft ribbon.

I cut the card base, corner bases and pull-out card from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock. Also cut layering panels from assorted prints in the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack as well as CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown and Basis Natural cardstock.

I stamped a couple acorns from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Collection stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored them with Stampin’ Blends, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I used these as embellishments on the top of the pull-out card along with a bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Kraft Ribbon. The big sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural and embellished it with a leftover piece of dotted paper used on the pull-out card. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment (from the same stamp set), layered the panel on Vanilla Bean Brown and then adhered the piece to the inside of the gatefold. This was such a fun card to put together!
