I chose to use the colors in the gorgeous Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Vanilla and Mint Macaron. This pretty paper was out of stock but it's back now; get it here while you can!
Details:
The pumpkins are fussy cut from one of the sheets in the Gilded Autumn DSP
The leaves are inked in Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron and stamped off once or more for a lighter hue
the greeting tag is die-cut with the Ornate Frames dies.
The grass image on the bottom is from the Field of Flowers stamp set
I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper. My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock. The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.
The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square. Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP). So simple!
I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video. If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheetsfor them all here.
Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial
Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before? They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash!
When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner. This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base. Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.
Below is the video for this card and another neat curtain fold. I hope you watch it to see the tips on assembly. And subscribe to my YouTube Channel too!
I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper. The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.
If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct. I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood. It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.
I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card). Which do you prefer?
The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here. It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.
I created a free project sheet for this card. I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas. *Click on the following link to download or print it. Download With you in Mind Curtain fold
The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set.
