Gathering Moments - Column Card

This is a column card that my card class made on Sunday. I love making column cards and once you get the hang of it, they are fun to make. This one was made with the stamp bundle "Gather Moments" which is an Online Exclusive. You won't find it in any of the catalogs. It is a Distinktive stamp set which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. I was inspired by Dani Gurrola's card.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Gathering Moments (Distinktive)

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Basic White, Cajun Craze, Gathering Together DSP

Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Gathering Moments Dies, Gathering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Streaked Dots or Cajun Craze & Gold Dots, Early Espresso Linen Thread, Tear & Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots

1. The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 10” and scored at ½”, 1-1/2”, 3-1/2”, and 4-1/2”. Use the Bone Folder to burnish the score marks.

2. Cut the Gathering Together DSP at 7/8” x 4-1/8”; 1-7/8” x 4-1/8”; and 7/8” x 2-7/8”. Adhere the DSP to the left flap and front flap. (The 7/8” x 4-1/8” will go on the right side of the next step #3). I like to use Tear & Tape for this and adhere it to the ½” flap. Remove the backing. When you close, be sure you are seeing the DSP on left side and front flap when to adhere.

3. Cut another Early Espresso at 3” x 5” and score at 3-1/2” and 4-1/2”. Adhere the 7/8” x 4-1/8” DSP on the right side. The Cajun Craze cardstock is cut at 3-3/8” x 4-1/8” and inserted into the Gathering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere to the right side of your card.

4. Now, take your 3” x 5” Early Espresso column and center it on your card. Use Tear and Tape on the 1/2” flap. It should be about an inch from the right side. Remove the backing and adhere. Add adhesive about a ½” on the other side to adhere to the first column you made.

5. Now, decorate the front, you will need to cut Basic White cardstock at 3-1/4” x 2-3/4”. Add the Old Olive DSP strip cut at 1-3/1/4” at bottom. Ink up the sentiment with Cajun Craze or Early Espresso ink and stamp at an angle.

6. Ink up the leaves and mushrooms with the ink pads provided and die cut with the Gather Moments Dies in the Stampin’ Cut & Machine.

7. Adhere the green leaf first with adhesive, the Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze leaves. Tie a bow with the Linen Thread and then add the Early Espresso mushroom with a Stampin’ Dimensional over it.
