Welcome to my blog! Today’s cards use the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday 622 sketch. For both cards, I used the All About Autumn Suite Collection found in Stampin’ UP!’s new September – December (2023) mini catalog. This suite is gorgeous! I’m so glad I purchased it when I had the opportunity during the pre-order period for demonstrators..
Here’s a look at the suite:
Here are my two cards:
Here’s the challenge banner from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday:
What I Did:
- The Moody Mauve base measures4-1/4 by 11 inches, scored at 5-1/2 to create a tent card.
- The Early Espresso base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
- All the DSP patterns come from the Autumn 6 x 6 DSP packs. The DSP for both cards measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
- HINT: For the diagonal stipes, it is much easier to just trim two strips of the DSP measuring 1/2 inch wide by 6 inches a long. Adhere them with liquid glue on the DSP background, then trim the overhanging edges.
- i trimmed 2 pieces of DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the Very Vanilla envelope flaps.
- The inside Very Vanilla panels measure 4 by 5-1/4 inches.
- I used the Stylish Shapes dies for the background pieces behind the sentiment and the banners.
- The sentiments are stamped in Early Espresso and cropped using the Autumn dies, as are the branches. I did add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment blocks to adhere them to the front of the card.
Sue, what a love fall color palette you’ve chosen! Clever how you used DSP to create your washi strips, and they have the same pattern theme as your circle background!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!!! -Donna
