When looking through the new August – December Mini Catalog, I decided not to purchase any new fall stamp sets and to only purchase some new designer series paperto feature on cards using stamp sets I already had, (PS – I caved and bought the Love of Leaves Bundle).
Today’s Fun Fold card features the new Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper, which includes the colors Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso, along with Copper and Gold Foil.
Once I decided on the card stock I wanted to use, I needed stamps to use for images and I realized the stamps from Forever Fern Bundle reminded me of the images, so I pulled out the stamp set and ink and stamped away. Amazing how good they look together. You could very easily add designer series paper on the right hand side instead of stamping. Any stamp set can be used for the greeting, mine come from Lovely You Bundle.
Here are the specifics for the card:
- Cajun Craze card base is 5½” x 8½”, scored at 1″ and 4¼”
- On the front, there is a piece of designer series paper 2″ x 5¼”
- Fold over the 1″ score and adhere to the front of the card
- Add 1″ x 5¼” coordinating strip of designer series paper
- Use paper trimmer to cut 3/8″ – 1/2″ slit in the center fold so ribbon can be wrapped around and secured in the front
- Die cut Scallop Layering Square (any layering dies would work)
- Die Cut Stitched Shade Square for stamping
- Card stock for inside stamping 4″ x 5¼”
On the right side of the inside piece of Very Vanilla card stock, images from the Forever Fern stamp set and because of using the same colors of ink from the designer series paper, they look like where cut from the same paper. You can also see how the ribbon was wrapped around the front.
