Softly Woven Framed & Fabulous Just Because Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the subtle linen texture from the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder for the background.  This wonderful texture evokes a feeling of warmth, perfect for heading into the fall season.  With the beautiful nighttime feeling of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (DSP) print and a simple 'Just Because', this card is the perfect paper hug.


Techniques include dry embossing, die cutting and using a punch.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When including die cuts like the ones on this card, I don't use the adhesive sheet on the back.  A couple small strips of adhesive or a couple mini glue dots near the base of the die cuts are enough to hold them in place. With the label layered over the bottom of the die cut pieces, they are held in place firmly. This allows most of the plant to float free on the card giving it a greater depth.  Also, when using an embossed background, the texture makes it a little more challenging to get good adhesion on these small pieces, so I save the adhesive sheet for using with flat layers.

Harvest Hues Ephemera Happy Halloween Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features pre cut images (stickers) from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.  This assortment is filled with images to take us right through the fall season, giving us easy pieces to group together however we choose to create fabulous cards.  The Happy Halloween message is from the Oh My Fright stamp set.


To add a little extra to the front panel, I cut 1/4" strips of a Darling Duckling patterned print from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Techniques include simple stamping.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

This ephemera pack has adhesive on the back, so all you have to do is peel off the protective backing and they are ready to adhere to your project.  I did find, however, that it is easier to peel the backing off by removing it from the score line in the middle back of the sticker.  When I tried removing the backing from an edge of the sticker, it was challenging.  More often than not the adhesive or adhesive and a layer of paper wanted to come along.  I found using the piercing end of my Take Your Pick tool to catch the backing along the score line worked well.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Oh My Fright stamp set
  • Harvest Hues Mix & Match ephemera pack
  • Basic White cardstock 
    • card base  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Secret Sea cardstock
    • 5-1/2 x 2-1/8
  • Darling Duckling cardstock
    • 1-3/4 x 1-1/8 
  • Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 5-1/2 x 1/4" (2)
  • Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Pad
  • 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls
  • Take Your Pick
  • Paper Trimmer
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere Secret Sea cardstock to center of folded card front.  Adhere DSP strips at top and bottom edges of cardstock.  Ink "Happy Halloween" with Secret Sea, stamp onto Darling Duckling cardstock, adhere right of center on Secret Sea cardstock.


Punch out, arrange and adhere witches hat, leaves and flowers by hat, and a flower and leaf in upper right of greeting.


Embellish center of flowers with large, med & small In Color Flat Pearls.
