Fall Card --Thank You

I'm sharing the last of the three fall cards accepted by Paper Creations magazine (online bonus project).  I really love the rich colors of the papers I used for the 3-card set.  And I managed to keep some (actually bought more than I needed--no accident), so I plan to make some more with this yummy paper.

Harvest of Thanks

Instructions—

1.    Cut one 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” rectangle from Buckaroo Blue cardstock, one 2” x 4” rectangle from Cordata tree print and one 2-1/4” square from the reverse side of the Cordata paper, one 2” x 4”  rectangle from the Chinese White (reverse) print, one 2” x 4” rectangle from the Bradford stripe, and two ¼” x 4” strips of Snow Pear paper (one from each side). Turn the Buckaroo Blue cardstock rectangle horizontally, score a vertical line down the center and fold in half. Ink edges of all pieces with Charcoal ink.

2.    Layer the three 2” x 4” rectangles on the card overlapping to fit the card.  Cover seams with the ¼” wide strips of paper.

3.    Punch a small hole in one corner of the Cordata reverse print square. Open the O-ring of the bauble and thread it through the hole, then close the ring. Use foam dots to mount this square to the top center of the card so the bauble hangs from the lower right corner. Mount the leaf sticker to the square of Cordata print. Make a small bow from the Caramel ribbon and adhere over the bauble ring with a mini glue dot.

4.    Stamp the sentiment in black ink on the card in the lower right corner.

 

This 3-D sticker from K & Company was great.  Gave me just what I needed easy peasy.  Happy when that happens.  (Grammer is getting sloppy, I know).  Just writin' what I'm thinkin', ya know!?

And I also really loved the bead...it's this wonderful smokey color.  I love this baubles and beads on cards.

With Thanksgiving so near, I really want to make more cards with this paper and with our Harvest of Gratitude sentiments.  If you haven't seen our whole fall and Thanksgiving line up, do check us out at Paper Fashions Etc.  Oh....and you can see all our new Christmas sets too.  I just have to say...I love 'em!!
