Hello Autumn Card

» 18 September, 2015 » Cards, Clean & Simple, Fall » 0 comments

Stamp with Dara: Hello Autumn Card featuring Cheer All Year stamp set

Cheer All Year is a versatile stamp set that can be used throughout the Fall and Winter seasons.  It includes an image and sentiment for each holiday (Halloween, Fall, and Christmas).

I chose to keep this card very CAS (clean and simple). It’s the perfect project for new stampers or even the avid crafter that just needs something ready to go in under 5 minutes.

The color combination for this card is Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Tangelo Twist.

I cut the feathers out with scissors (sigh…no framlits for this set) 😉 Then I adhered the feather with dimensionals to Whisper White card stock.

Measurements: Rich Razzleberry 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, Early Espresso 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, Whisper White 3″ x 4 1/4″

Stamp with Dara: Flurry of Wishes Card

Today I’m sharing a card that I copied from page 24 of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  I used the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set and its coordinating Snow Flurry Punch.

The use of Vellum Card Stock and White Embossing Powder create an elegant look. The snowflakes were heat embossed using the Heat Tool.

The card is embellished with Iced Rhinestones and Rhinestones.

Here is the video tutorial for this project.
