This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Fall Leaves”. Ours in Ohio are certainly almost all on the ground now. Was so glad we did a little travelling a few weeks ago when they were at their peak!
INTRICATE LEAVES DIES
This card was made from pieces left on my desk from discarded projects. I call them “starts” and love it when I can use them up! I already had the banners made up, so just added some leaves and the base card!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Misty Moonlight cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.
- Four 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 rectangles were cut from Crumb Cake cardstock, the banners hand cut at the bottom. They were embossed with the Timeworn Embossing Folder and adhere to the front.
- A 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock was added across the top of the banners.
- The Harvest Meadow DSP pieces were cut with the Hippo and Friends Dies, then added to the banners with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- FALL letters were cut from the Playful Alphabet Dies from Cajun Craze cardstock and adhered to the banners.
- The small leaves were cut with the Intricate Dies using Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks and added around the banners.
- Some Brushed Metallic Dots were added to the background.
Not entirely how I pictured it in my head, but think it is a little different for this week’s fall leaves theme! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
