I think one of my favorite times of the year is fall. I love all the beautiful colors that come out in the trees, but I also love how life seems to settle into a groove. For me, fall also means the start of another Stamp Club. I have the most wonderful and supportive group of ladies that attend my classes, and I'm always excited to share my projects with them. This was among the projects we completed at our first workshop. It was originally a card I made for a recent Great Swap Girls swap that featured a new stamp set from the SU! Fall & Winter Catty, but I loved the retro feel of this card so much, I had to share it at my class too.
Here’s how I made it: Starting with the large white panel, I stamped the solid image first in Pink Pirouette then stamped the outline image in Close to Cocoa randomly over top. I sponged the four edges with Chocolate Chip ink then adhered the panel to the right side of the Chocolate Chip panel. I paper pierced down the left side of the Chocolate Chip panel, then tied the striped ribbon around the two layers. I heat embossed the sentiment with Chocolate Chip craft ink & clear embossing powder on a piece of scrap Pink Pirouette paper, punched it out with my large oval punch, edges sponged in Chocolate Chip and matted to a circle I punched from a scrap Chocolate Chip CS using my 1 ¾” circle punch. I then assembled the sentiment and the stacked layers with dimensionals.
