Colorful Seasons Fall Card in Mixed Metals

Don't you just love the mixed metal look?  It is on trend right now and is the perfect combination for a Fall card and I can't wait to use it on other projects! For this card I used the Colorful Seasons Bundle.

This is one of my favorite layouts and for whatever reason it's a college style that actually works for me.

This leaf is gorgeous if I do say so myself!

Supplies

Stamp set – Colorful Seasons, Touches of Texture

Paper – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Copper Foil, Champagne Foil Sheets

Ink – Soft Suede, Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories – Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Linen Thread, Copper Trim, Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape, Metallic Sequins Assortment, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Adhesive

How I did it

Card base Soft Suede 4 1/4x11 scored at 5 1/2

Top layer Very Vanilla 4"x5.1/4"

Middle layer Cajun Craze 4 1/8" x 5 3/8

Stamp the splatter from Touches of Texture in Crumb Cake onto Very Vanilla

Apply a strip of the narrow Washi Tape 

Lay a piece of the Copper Trim above the Washi Tape fraying one end a bit

Cut the branch from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits an layer over Washi (I trimmed it a bit)

Add a stretched and frayed piece of Copper Mesh Tape so it    will lay behind the leaf

Attach a looped length of Linen Thread

Stamp greeting in Tuxedo Black ink

Cut solid leaf from Copper Foil Sheet, the open leaf from Champagne Foil Sheet, tie together with Linen Thread bow

Happy Birthday in Copper & Pink

I needed a special birthday card for a friend who was celebrating a milestone birthday.  I remembered seeing a spectacular card posted by a fellow demonstrator and knew I needed to put my own twist on it. I love how it turned out and I got to use what might turn out to be my new favorite accessory – the 1/4" Copper Trim.  That ribbon is just yummy, you can stretch and shape it, showing off the loose weave mesh.  Here it my masterpiece!

This card is very dimensional so hand delivery was in order.

The Happy Birthday Thinlit was used to cut the greeting from Copper Foil Paper, to make it pop a little more I put a Basic Black die cut behind it, offsetting it just a bit.

The flowers are punched from the new Daisy Punch.  I spritzed them with water and scrunched and pinched them til I got the effect I wanted.  I layered two together and used Gold Faceted Gems for the centers. Thanks to fellow demonstrator, Monica Gale from the UK, for her gorgeous card that inspired me.

I was lucky enough to meet the uber talented Monica at a Stampin' Up! Convention a few years ago.  We had each made earrings from SU embellishments.  We decided to swap earrings right then and there.  Here is a photo of us wearing each others earrings.  That is Monica on the left

Here are the other products I used:

Powder Pink Card Stock for the square card base, 5" square I believe

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack

Shimmery White Card Stock for leaves cut from Seasonal Layers Thinlits

The twigs were also cut from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, I used Basic Black Card Stock

Copper Metallic Thread was looped and tucked behind the flowers

I hope you have as much fun making this card as I did, but the real joy is giving it away!  You can order all the supplies from my online shop. Be sure to use my August host code, MPKNGB22, when placing your order.  No need to use it if your order is $150 or more as you qualify for free product without it!
