Hello Harvest, Rustic Harvest DSP & Framed Florets Dies

A quick and easy card using the new Framed Florets Dies and the Hello Harvest Bundle.  

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Mossy Meadow, scored at 4 1/4.
• The next layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Cajun Craze.
• The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP) is 5 x 3 3/4.
  
• I used the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the oval from a Framed Florets Die twice. First with Cajun Craze to get the outer oval edge, and then with Basic White on which I stamped my words from Harvest Hello with Cajun Craze ink.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere these to the card front.
• I used the leaf stamp from the Hello Harvest stamp set and stamped four leaves, two in Mossy Meadow, and two in Cajun Craze and cut them out with a Rustic Pumpkin die.  I also cut out two leaves with Gold Foil and embossed them with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added the leaves with Glue Dots.
• I died some white twine Cajun Craze and made a double bow to add in between the leaves.  To do that I added a drop of Cajun Craze reinker and a little water to a plastic paint palette, added the baker's twine, and when my twine was as dark as I wanted, I layed it on a paper for about 30 minutes to dry.  Made a double bow and used a Glue Dot to add it.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

• The Merry Merlot 2" circle is cut out with a Layering Circle Die.
• The words from Fitting Florets are stamped with Merry Merlot ink on Basic White and cut out with a Stylish Shape die and popped up with dimensionals.

 Cottage Rose & Shaded Summer Stamps 

A beautiful and fun technique using embossing powder and stamping blends.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Blackberry Bliss, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Gorgeous Grape layer is 5 1/4 x 4 and the corners are punched with the Very Best Trio Punch.
• The Crumb Cake layer is 5 x 3 3/4 and the corners are also punched with the Very Best Trio Punch.
• I stamped images from the Cottage Rose stamp set on the Crumb Cake with Versamark ink, covered the images with white embossing powder, and heat embossed with a SU heat tool.
• I colored the flowers with Stampin' Blends.
• I adhered the Crumb Cake to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock and before I wrapped 36" of White Baker's Twine around these two pieces, I died the twine Blackberry Bliss.  To die the twine, I added a few drops of Blackberry Bliss reinker and a few drops of water to a small tray.  Added the 36" of twine for about 5 minutes. Put it on a paper towel to dry.
• The 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 Blackberry Bliss rectangle is cut out with a Deckled Rectangle Die and is the base for the 2 1/2 x 1 1/4 Basic White.
• The words, from Shaded Summer, are stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I added this combination to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

  Nothing's Better Than for my November 2022 Card Classes

I haven't used this set in a long time and decided it would be fun to offer it at both of my November 2022 classes.  While perusing Pinterest, I came across Lynsay Mahon's card, and CASEd it, (a compliment in my crafting world), and changed up the colors a little.  You can see her card Here, post of June 26, 2020.  

My November 2022 classes are full, and if you would like to attend my December classes, please see below or click right HERE to see my schedule.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Early Espresso, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Pool Party layer is 5 1/4 x 4 and is embossed with the Painted Texture folder.
• The next Early Espresso layer is 4 x 3.
• The Basic White layer is 4 x 3 and stamped with Early Espresso and Coastal Cabana inks. 
• The words are stamped on a piece of Coastal Cabana that was cut out with a Layering Diorama die.
• The two coffee cups are cut out with Early Espresso and a Love You More Than die, then I stamped the cut-out cups with Early Espresso ink and a stamp from Nothings Better Than set.
• The word "Coffee" is cut out with Early Espresso and a Foam Adhesive Sheet--it's like using Dimensionals, except much easier and quicker.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
