Now, let me side-track you for a minute or three to share my pretty Fall card featuring a Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock card base with an acetate panel. Both the 110# and 80# weight Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock are staples in my studio. I create most of my projects with this amazing cardstock and don’t ever see myself without it!
Acetate panel cards are so fun to create and this was a super easy one. All those leaves seen through the acetate were cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock as well, and adhered directly to the inside of the card base.
Here is a quick tutorial showing you my process for making this card. All you need is a good sturdy card base cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock, a piece of acetate, and an edge die – which can be curved or straight, plain or scalloped. Doesn’t get much easier! ;)
Cut a section out of the front flap of the card base with the edge die, adhere the acetate to the back side of the flap and adhere the bottom portion of the front flap to the front of the acetate. Stamp the front and inside sentiments in brown ink. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Fall Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps Leaf Die Set, stamp 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 panels.
Ink the leaves with carved pumpkin, fired brick, forest moss, walnut stain distress inks. Once dry, remove the washi tape from the back side of the panels and remove the die cuts.
Adhere the die cuts randomly to the inside of the card base being sure to cover all areas visible through the acetate.
Ink several wood veneer heart embellishments with the same distress ink colors and adhere to the front of the card base.
