Autumn Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a beautiful fall decorated cake.

I’ve been binge watching The Next Great Baker when I’m eating lunch, and this cake looks like one that they would make! I had to use Life is Beautiful set…the tree was perfect for this challenge!

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Bumblebee cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form the base card.
- The 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 Whisper White cardstock was stamped with the tree trunk in Early Espresso, then the leaves in the tree with Bumblebee Ink, Real Red Ink, Pumpkin Pie Ink and Old Olive Ink. Some leaves were also added to the ground.
- Thinking of You was stamped with Early Espresso Ink.
- The panel was added to a 3-3/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Early Espresso cardstock, then to the front of the card.
- The fence from Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock, then added to the front with Foam Strips.
- Some gold/orange sequins from Sequins for Everything package were sprinkled in the tree leaves ad one next to the greeting for some extra bling!

I love this card…of course, I love fall colors and this really catches my eye! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

It’s Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! Our theme this week is FALL…using any of the fabulous sets in the Holiday or Main Catalog!

I chose to use the set, Cheer All Year, for my card today. I’ve only had it a short time, but I love the greetings in this set and wanted to give it some love!

Here are the details:

The Tangelo Twist cardstock base is a partial fold card cut 4-1/4 x 9 and scored at 5-1/2.
On the front is 3-1/4 x 4 piece of Into the Woods DSP in the Tangelo Twist leaves pattern, then a 1 x 4 strip of Woodgrain DSP added along the left side.
The Early Espresso Ribbon is tied and knotted around the DSP layer.
The 4th from largest circle in the Circle Framelits cut the Whisper White, with Hello Autumn stamped in Tangelo Twist Ink along the bottom.
Two acorns from Cheer All Year were stamped with Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip on scrap Whisper White, then punched with the Acorn Punch. They are popped up on the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added two Tangerine Tango Candy Dots to the acorns for a little color!
The Circle is adhered under the left side to the front flap with Stampin’ Dimensionals, too.
Inside is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake embossed with the Woodlands Embossing Folder.
I purposely left the inside without a greeting so I can use it for any event that I need it for!

I love the unusual fold on this…here’s a look from the top.

OK…check out what the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team did this week by continuing the blog hop to Mary’s blog to see her card! Enjoy!
