Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I have Fall card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle and the Timber 3D embossing folder. This is a great bundle for coloring and I colored today’s card with Stampin’ Blends. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week that is perfect for the season:

I embossed a panel of Calypso Coral card stock with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base. I stamped two of the large floral images from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating detailed die. This is the die that cuts the large image into four different pieces, so save your extra die cuts for your next card!

I colored the acorns with Soft Suede Stampin Blends and the leaves in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive Stampin Blends. I stamped four additional small oak leaves and two acorns in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I colored them with Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Pale Papaya and cut it out with the circle die from the All That dies.

I arranged my die cuts on the card front to determine where to place them and started by adhering the label with glue dots. I adhered the little leaves and acorns in the lower left corner with glue dots, tucking them under the label. I adhered the two large acorn and leaf clusters together with glue dots and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered the last acorn to the leaves with a glue dot and tucked the last two little leaves under the larger die cuts, adhering them with glue dots. I finished off the card front with a bow and gold metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the acorn from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I covered it with a mask and stamped the leaf on top. I colored the leaf and acorn with Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This card reminds me of my old house where we had huge oak trees in the front. We had so many acorns and so many leaves to rake, well into the winter! The squirrels loved it! So I love the Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn bundle. And I especially love how the large image can either be die cut as a single image or cut into 4 different pieces – it’s really nice!
