Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here with a set of fall cards. I love Fall – the changing colors, the crispy leaves, the cooling air. JoyClair has a wonderful Hello Autumn stamp set that, when paired with Ann Butler Designs inks, creates some amazing leaves.
Supplies:
- ColorBox Crafter’s® by Ann Butler – Desert Sand, Tangelo, Evergreen, Canyon, Deep Woods
- Unity Stamps – 2″ dots, stripes
- JoyClair Stamps – Hello Autumn
- Spellbinders dies
- Whisker Graphics Twine
I inked these maple leaves with assorted colors of inks – Tangelo, Evergreen and Canyon. Then I stamped the leaves on white cardstock and fussy cut them. Desert Sand was inked around the edges. Next, the leaves were formed for a more realistic look.
Kraft cardstock was stamped with Deep Woods Ink and a Unity Stamp. The panel was wrapped with ribbon and added to the card base. Twine was tied to the ribbon. The leaves were added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension. “Give Thanks”, from the same JoyClair stamp set was stamped in Evergreen, die cut, and added to the leaves.
My next card uses the same technique on the leaves, however, this time the multi-colored leaves were stamped directly on a panel of white. To emphasize the colors, the panel was inked with Desert Sand, then matted with orange cardstock. Ribbon, was tied around the panel before adding it to a green card.
“So Grateful” from JoyClair was stamped in Evergreen on a scrap of the stamped panel. It was then, die cut and, while still in the die, Tangelo ink was lightly inked over the sentiment. I matted it with brown and added it to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.
So what will you be creating for Fall this year?
Thanks for stopping by today.
