Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folders - Leaves

 It's been a while since I've posted on my blog.  There are just not enough hours in a day to do everything I want to do.  Last week, I started a crochet class because my friend wanted me to go with her.  We both had mothers who crocheted and knew a few basics, but it's been a while.  It comes back to you.  We have another class next week.  I will try to start posting more because I have made several cards this month.  I'm starting to think about Fall and Christmas cards, so here is my latest Fall card.  I learned the "blackout" technique from watching Frenchie's videos, and I wanted to use my Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folders.

Fern & Flora - "You Make the World a Better Place"

Here is another card that I made using the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper.  It is so beautiful that it really makes the card without putting a lot of effort into it.  This is a good card to send to someone you really appreciate and let them know how much they mean.  I used the Soft Sea Foam cardstock and Mossy Meadow ink.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Fern & Flora

Cardstock:  Soft Sea Foam and Moonlit Flora DSP

Ink:  Mossy Meadow

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Fern & Flora Dies, Dewdrops Embellishments, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

1.     The base of the card is Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is the beautiful Moonlit Flora DSP, which doesn’t need much added to it but a few embellishments and a label.  It is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Ink up the frame stamp and the sentiment “You Make the World a Better Place” with Mossy Meadow ink.  Die-cut the label with the Fern & Flora Dies.

4.    Add three of the Dewdrops Embellishments.

Stamp Set:  Balloon Festoon

Cardstock:  Blueberry Bushel, Basic White, Real Red

Ink:  Real Red, Blueberry Bushel and Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blend

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Balloon Festoon Dies, Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers, Red & White Baker’s Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dot

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock.  Ink up “Hip Hip Hooray!” in the lower right-hand corner with Blueberry Bushel ink.

3.    Ink up the balloon string stamp with Blueberry Bushel ink in the left-hand corner at an angle.

4.    Die cut a Real Red Balloon from the 4^th largest die.  Ink it up with the stars stamp using Real Red ink.  Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the balloon and adhere to the string on the card front at an angle.

5.    Attach a Red & White Twine bow at the base of the balloon with a Glue Dot.

6.    Add some white puffy stars to the balloon and color three of the small white ones with the Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blend.  Let dry!  Add to the card front.

7.    For the inside:  Cut a Basic White cardstock at 4” x 5” and fold in half.  Place it in the die-cutting machine with the fold outside of the die.  Ink up the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate” with Blueberry Bushel and stamp Blueberry Bushel stars on the front of the balloon.

8.    Ink up the fireworks display stamp from the May Paper Pumpkin at the top of the inside of the card above the balloon.

Fern & Flora

This was such an easy card to make because the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper really makes the card.  It is so beautiful.  All I had to add was the label and some embellishments.  There are so many beautiful dies I want to use on future cards, but for now I need something simple yet beautiful.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Fern & Flora

Cardstock:  Soft Sea Foam and Moonlit Flora DSP

Ink:  Mossy Meadow

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Fern & Flora Dies, Dewdrops Embellishments,

Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

1.     The base of the card is Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is the beautiful Moonlit Flora DSP, which doesn’t need much added to it but a few embellishments and a label.  It is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Ink up the frame stamp and the sentiment “You’re an Amazing Friend” with Mossy Meadow ink.  Die-cut the label out with the Fern & Flora Dies.

4.    Add three of the Dewdrops Embellishments.
