Autumnal Trees

I love the Beautiful Trees Dies and Beauty of Friendship stamp set and have used it today to make an autumnal tree  ‘thinking of you card’.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the Autumnal tree card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside
Soft Suede card – 4½” by 3½”
Beauty of the Earth dsp – 3½” by 3¼”
Basic White strip – ⅜”

I ran the Balmy Blue panel through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Bark Embossing Folder to add texture to the panel. The piece was added to the Balmy Blue card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I placed the stencil on the smaller panel of Basic White card and added ink using a Blending Brush starting with Sahara Sand. I moved the stencil and repeated the inking with Crumb Cake ink, moved it again and inked with Soft Suede ink. I repeated the steps to produce the effect of a wood.

The stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin' Up! and used to make a clever fun fold card

Beauty of the Earth dsp

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?

The tree trunk was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto the Basic White panel. I added the tree canopy in Mossy Meadow ink and the more detailed leafy layer in Bumblebee to give a more textured look.

The stamped panel was added to the Bumblebee layer and then to the dsp card front. This serves to give the card some rigidity.

The same tree trunk was stamped again in Soft Suede ink onto the small panel of Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the tree canopy and leaves again in the same way onto scrap Soft Sea Foam and die cut using the Beautiful Tree dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. The canopy was added to the trunk with the liquid glue. I added a speckle of green spots around the tree image. The panel was added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it out with scissors. I added a strip of Mossy Meadow card to the base of the panel and added the sentiment over top.

I really like this style of card and really shows off the dsp. I hope you like it.
