A Thankful Time Of Giving Fall Card

 


Copper is Stunning with Fall Colors 

Wow! The COPPER FOIL Specialty Paper looks stunning with the fall leaves in this card from the TIME OF GIVING Bundle. And paired with the IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper and the CORK Specialty Paper it makes a fabulous card perfect for Thanksgiving or a Thank You to give to someone special. 

But I can't take all the credit because I used 2 great cards from 2 fabulous Stampin' Up! demonstrators as my inspiration for this card. This is a blog collaboration between me, Katie Johnson and Laurie LaRose. 

Here are the cards from Katie and Laurie:




I really liked the fall colors, copper leaves and pretty IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper Katie used to make her card. Click the picture to go to Katie's post.












And I liked the focal point layout Laurie used to make her card. Click the picture to go to Laurie's post.








The leaves stamp in the TIME OF GIVING stamp set are all on one stamp and can be cut out all at once with one matching die using the GIVING GIFTS dies. (They can be ordered as a bundle for 10% savings). Becasue they are connected, it makes it super easy to cut out several leaves to layer on this card (3 colors shown are: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede). There is another coordinating single die that cuts out 5 leaves with detailed veins all at once (shown in COPPER FOIL). Such a time saver! All supplies will be listed at the end of this post. 







If you look closely you can see that some of the leaves are popped up on dimensionals, and some are not, to give good depth to the focal point. 











I used the pumpkins die from the GIVING GIFTS die set both on the front and on the inside of this card for some extra detail. The COPPER FOIL specialty paper gives the pumpkins a fun metallic shine. I cut off the frame around the pumpkins on the front and used parts of the frame in opposite corners for the inside layer. (Cut the paper to match the size of the die to get a thin frame).

    Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Birthday Jar of Flowers

    Welcome! It's time for another great blog hop! Our September Paper Crafting Blog Hop theme is "Happy Birthday". This hop features a group of talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the globe. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you featuring our theme this month, so be sure to stop at each of our blogs. You may have arrived from Krissi's blog. She had a fun project!


    Who wouldn't love a bunch of flowers for their birthday?

    When I think of the end of summer, I always think of sunflowers. So, when the September blog hop theme was birthday, I just knew I had to bring out my JAR OF FLOWERS stamp set, JAR punch and MASON JAR shaker domes. And best of all, I have a friend who is having a birthday party this week. And a hand-delivered card makes a perfect time to use the shaker domes!

    Since I wanted the beautiful bunch of flowers to be my focal point, I chose to use a light color of ink (Sahara Sand) to stamp my flower and stem images. Then I just had to use the STAMPIN’ BLENDS alcohol markers because they blend so nicely and make shading so easy---even for beginners!

    The LINEN THREAD and green and gold/silver sequins from the SEQUINS FOR EVERY SEASON pack, as well as the coloring of the inside of the shaker dome with a STAMPIN’ BLENDS marker (Pool Party), add great additional touches to make a super special card. 

     





    When I was making this card, I knew I wanted to make it look like the jar of flowers was sitting on a table. The IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper has such great textures and is perfect to mimic a table in front of a wall. Take a look at my tip in this grapic and at the close up picture above for the full effect.  


     

    As lovely as the JAR OF FLOWERS stamp set is, it doesn’t include sentiments. I used the wonderful IN YOUR WORDS stamp set. This set is an Aug-Sep 2021 Sale-A-Bration limited edition host only set which has many fun greetings including a great “Happy Birthday” stamp! (Hurry to get yours as it is only available until September 30, 2021).




    I hope this fun "sunny" card has inspired you. I truly enjoyed making it!
