Harvest Meadow Thank You

  Greetings!

With Autumn approaching the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) grabbed my attention right away!  These gorgeous papers feature prints and colors to gently remind us of the changing of the seasons and the cooler weather to come.  The Nature's Harvest stamp set that is part of the collection of products in the Harvest Meadow Suite is simply lovely!  For today's card I wanted to focus on featuring the lovely papers in a design that would show multiple prints and patterns without being too busy.  Choosing papers in Crumb Cake and Misty Moonlight colors and using the simple book-binding fun-fold checked those boxes.


Naturally Gorgeous!

 The Tasteful Labels Dies are perfect for layering labels of all different shapes and sizes and providing a beautiful way to surround the simple floral image and sentiment.  Isn't it beautiful!

Here's How It's Made:
Apply two strips of Tear & Tape adhesive along the scored edges of card front between the 4-1/4" and 5-1/2" lines.  Adhere to other half of card base creating a "book binding" type of edge.  Your opening inside will be 4-1/4" x 4-1/4".
Ink the word "You" only from the thank you stamp in Misty Moonlight and stamp in lower right area of Vellum cardstock.  Ink and stamp small floral stamp so stem is just to left of "You". Making sure You is completely cleaned off and dry, ink "Thank" only and stamp at an angle just above the upper left flower.  Sprinkle Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder over stamped images and heat to set.  
Position label die around embossed image on vellum and die cut. Die cut label again from small piece of Basic White cardstock.  Adhere vellum over white with small bits of adhesive behind flowers and words (this is so adhesive doesn't show through vellum).  Also place a small tab of adhesive in lower left area under rhinestones as vellum tends to curl a bit from being heated.
Adhere large square DSP piece to right front square of card front, and small strip to left side of card front.  Die cut blue patterned label and small crumb cake banner label, as well as crumb cake label.  Layer crumb cake label behind blue label and adhere stamped assembled label on top as shown above. 
Adhere blue floral strip on left side of card, attach small banner piece by folding in half and adhering over top left edge of card.
Attach rhinestones using the Take Your Pick tool.  This tool makes it easy to pick up small pieces and see exactly where to place the items as fingers are not obscuring view.  
Here's what the inside looks like:

Stamp just a bit of the upper part of the floral stamp in lower right corner of Basic White cardstock, and adhere to inside of card. Die cut a small banner from a scrap of the blue print, snip in half and adhere to upper edge near left edge.
