Week 4 of Fall & Halloween Projects

 Hello, 

    So here in Alberta we have been frosty the last couple of mornings. I don't like that there is a snow warning in our forcast for the thanksgiving long weekend. It is way too early for that sillyness! Don't you agree ? 

    I have been creating fall cards for about a month now for all of my classes, lives, and social posts, It is my favorite time of the year. I love all the leaves changing and crisp air, and maybe a Chai Latte or two, or three... 

    The Beautiful card I created features a great way to make a textured looking background to center all your other elements on. You will find the recipe to recreate, if you have the supplies on hand. Have fun, and please post your take on the card on my Facebook Page "Carrot Top's Creative Co ", I would LOVE to see :)

Start off cutting and scoring your cardbase, also cut your inside and linen specialty paper piece. Ink up the Knit Together Background Stap with Crumb Cake (using a stamparatus might be helpful, if you own one) and stamp on your Linen Specialty Paper. Then go ahead and on your Bacis White 5 1/4' x 5' piece stamp your Pumpkin in VersaMark and apply right away your Gold Emossing powder. You will do the same to your scrap piece of Basic White Cardstok. On your scrap of Rich Razzleberry cardsock you will stamp Sentiment of your choice in VersaMark and sprinkle White Embossing Powder on it.  Once you have all pieces ready, go ahead and heat to set. From the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack pick the die cuts you would like to use. We are now ready to assemble, Peel off the Linen Specialty Pare backing off and adhere that to your cardstock base. Apply Dimensional to the back of your Ephemera Diecuts, if you want them to pop. Adhere to the card front in a patern that looks good. Fussy cut out your Embossed pumpkin, apply dimentsionals to the back and place over the intersecting areas of your diecuts to hide. Fussy cut around the lettering of your embossed Sentiment , apply dimentsionals and place where you desire on your card front. Tie a small bow with your Linen Thread and with Tombow Multi Glue adhere to the side of the pumpkin stem. Your inside piece that you embossed with a gold pumpkin can be attached using Stampin' Seal. Stamp and Envelope with the pumpkin in Crumb Cake Ink and you are all ready to send :)
