Autumn Birthday

I keep hoping for Fall, or Autumn, weather and the leaves to begin changing. That is not happening around here just yet. So I made my own for a friend’s birthday card. The Splendid Autumn DSP was the perfect Fall scene.

Papers

This card is mostly about the paper so that is my starting point today. The Splendid Autumn Designer Series paper has such wonderful scenes to choose from. I was looking for Autumn color and this sheet really has them. However I chose what may be considered an odd pairing to compliment it. The Cajun Craze thin layer is an expected choice. But the Lemon Lolly is probably not. Looking at the yellows on the left of the DSP, I held that against different yellow card stock. The Lemon Lolly was the definite one to help it pop. I admit it is a total opposite from the darkness of the Cajun Craze. They do work together and I am happy with the light and dark.

Stamp Bundle

There are only a couple of other pieces to this card besides the paper. To say it was quick and easy is an understatement. For a simple statement piece I went with the Keeping Tabs Punch Bundle. This set is one of two in the Annual Catalog that gives us Bundle options. You can either get a Die or a Punch. I chose the punch. This Tab is great for making little notebooks, or adding tabs to your catalogs. I thought it was a great small sentiment layer without needing frills to accompany it.

The tab is punched from Lemon Lolly as well. And then I stamped the small Happy Birthday from the stamp set. Since the tab folds easily, I simply folded it over the DSP and Cajun Craze pieces. As I said, Easy Peasy!

Finishes

This DSP is so busy that embellishments would be lost on it. I wanted to add a bit of texture though. The Bakers Twine Three Color Pack came to the rescue. It is a pack that carried over to the Annual Catalog. It contains a bright yellow, soft blue, and a pinkish coral. The colors actually match quite a few of our colors. I wrapped the twine around the layers twice and then tied a double bow. The last embellishment is a single bling. The Faux Glass Dots seemed a perfect fit. They are in Fall colors and I used the darkest of the orange color.
