It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  Fall is all about changing colors of the leaves and Halloween…at least here in the Midwest of the United States!  This week we are showing off Pretty Fall Colors on our cards!

CHANGING LEAVES

For this challenge, I did a fun fold that is nice and easy…especially when using the pretty Splendid Autumn 6×6 Designer Paper!  And it folds up nicely to place in a regular A4 envelope!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 and folded.
• Add 1-7/8 x 5-1/4 Splendid Autumn DSP to left side and 4 x 5-1/4 to inside panel.
• Cut a 2-1/2 x 3 Basic White and score (with 3″ at the top) at 3/4, 1-1/2, and 2-1/4.  Fold all score lines inward and adhere one side to Old Olive panel and one side to DSP as shown.

 

• On 2-1/4 x 4, stamp the Changing Leaves leaf image with Copper Clay Ink in upper right and lower right corners.  Add greeting with Memento Black Ink in center.  Adhere to top of inside Basic White mechanism.
• Add a 2 x 3-3/4 piece of Splendid Autumn DSP to a 2-1/4 x 4 piece of Copper Clay cardstock.  Add the left side only to the front panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Stamp the Changing Leaves outside greeting with Memento Black Ink, cut with the Spotlight on Nature circle.  Add to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Cut open double leaf with Changing Leaves Dies from Copper Clay cardstock and small three-leaf Die from Old Olive cardstock.  Adhere behind the circle on left side.
• Add three Faux Glass Dots to background and circle.

Really, this is a SUPER simple card and once you do the mechanism the first time, you’ll crank them out in no time!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
