Amber Autumn - Shutter Card

This is another shutter card that I made using the Online Exclusive stamp set "Amber Autumn" and the Gathering Together Designer Paper is so beautiful with his fall colors and a little bit of gold. They are so fun to make.

Stamp Set: Amber Autumn

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Basic White, Crushed Curry, Gathering Together DSP

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento

Blending Pens: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive,

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, 2-3/8” Circle Punch, Spotlight on Nature Die, 2-7/8” Ornamental Circle Die, Tear & Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Pencil, Ruler, Paper Snips

1. The base of the card is Cajun Craze cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 2-1/8” and 6-3/8”. Fold and burnish with a Bone Folder to create a gate-fold card.

2. Cut the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper at 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” and cut 4 for them. Add to the two front panels and the two inside panels.

3. Cut Basic White cardstock at 2-3/4” x 3-1/2” and adhere to the inside center of the card.

4. The Center Bridge is Cajun Craze cardstock cut at 3” x 5-1/2” and the Gathering Together DSP is 2-7/8” x 5-1/4”. Layer the DSP to the Cajun Craze cardstock with adhesive and die cut the center with the 2-3/8” Circle Die from the Spotlight on Nature Die or the 2-3/8 Circle Punch. Add 3 or 4 Dimensionals at the top and bottom, but do not remove the backings from the top yet.

5. Next do the Shutters: Crushed Curry cardstock at 3-1/2” x 4” and cut 2 of them. Score at ½” on the 3-1/2” end on both pieces. Measure 2” on the 4” side and mark with a pencil. At the 2” pencil mark, measure 1-1/2” up and make a pencil mark. With the Paper Snips, trim from center pencil mark to both points so it creates what looks like a banner. On the ½” side, attach adhesive. Put both pieces under the Center Bridge and making sure to line them up eventually underneath the Center Bridge. Place the adhesive side up to the inside flap just beside the score line. Then close the front flap over it so it adhere. Then line up the other side the same.

6. Now, you can pull the backings off the top Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere in place.

7. Decorate the front by punching out a Cajun Craze circle with Ornamental Christmas Circle Die. Ink up the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock and color with the Stampin’ Blends. Die cut it out. Adhere with Dimensionals to the Craze Craze circle and adhere to the left front panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
