Fall Yum!!

This past weekend was our scheduled friends who are demonstrators weekend of stamping and fun. The hurricane put a damper on it. Not all of the ladies were able to get out of their states, and the weekend was cut short due to no power. In attempts to save our batteries we were only texting and calling home briefly. It wasn’t until we were home and able to see the news before we realized exactly how lucky we were to only be without power. My heart goes out to all of the people devastatingly effected by this storm.

I do have my cards to share with you though. Those of us who attended were able to make each others cards and still had lots of fun and laughs. The card I am posting today is another of the More Than Autumn Bundle. This set is such a keeper! It has components to fit so many occasions and seasons.

Stamps and Dies

The More Than Autumn Bundle is, as I have said many times, fabulous! All of the images are from this bundle. The cup, foam, cinnamon stick (or straw), and sentiments are from the stamp set. The images are all stamped using Cajun Craze Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The foam is the only exception. It is stamped using Petal Pink Ink. I wanted it to seem like a light pumpkin color.

The images are all Die cut using the matching Die set. The leaves do not have a matching stamp. They are cut and look like the one on the right. However the center pops out as I used it for the left side of the cup. For the circles I used the Deckled Circles Dies. They are 4th and 6th largest. I trimmed off 3/4″ from the right side after layering them together. The cup is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Sentiment layer

The sentiment was difficult to find a place for. So I created a stand alone pair. Both pieces are stamped onto the Basic Beige card stock and then layered on Petal Pink. For the Fall piece it is simple cut on the trimmer to even distances. The longer sentiment is the same and then snipped on the ends using Paper Snips to create the banner tip.

Paper and Finishes

The papers used were based on the piece of DSP. This is a reverse side of a sheet from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. I saw this piece and immediately thought it should be paired with this stamp bundle. All of the other paper choices were pulled from the DSP. The base is Calypso Coral with Basic Beige as the layer. With the exception of the Petal Pink for the sentiment layer of course.

The finishes were kept simple since the cup layer was quite a few pieces. I simply added a scattering of the Faux Glass Dots. These come in a couple of Fall colors. I chose the one that closest matched my card colors. And then left them out of the box when I packed for the retreat! DUH!!!

Thank you for stopping in today. I hope all of you are safe.
