Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend! I have so much to do my head is spinning, lol! I’m going to start by sharing a couple cards I created for The Outlawz Challenges, so stay tuned for one more post after this one. I created a front step card using Jan’s Digi Stamps Signs of Autumn digital stamp set. This set is gorgeous and the front step card is one of my new favorite fun folds, so it’s a win-win as far as I’m concerned! I’m entering this Autumn/Fall card into the Twisted Thursday – Anything Goes w/ optional Embossing challenge that’s going on.
I printed the digital stamp and both sentiments in brown and let them sit in my studio for several days. I have found that allowing digital images printed on an inkjet printer to sit for a few days makes coloring with alcohol markers cleaner and the ink doesn’t smear. Heat setting the digis with a heat tool works also and speeds up the process if you’re in a hurry. ;) I cut the focal image with a stitched rectangle die, cut one of the sentiments into a rectangular panel, and punched the second sentiment with a circle punch. I created the card base from a nice medium tone brown cardstock and then cut the layers from a golden yellow cardstock which I embossed with a cable knit embossing folder. Love how this came together! ;)
I embellished the back sentiment panel with a couple cardstock strips.
And one more look… such a cool construction that packs a powerful punch and folds flat for mailing! No wonder it’s one of my new favs! ;)
