Hi! I am here to bring you sparkle and glitter for the upcoming Holiday season! I used lots and lots of Poppystamps goodness to create layers of rich, warm Autumn decadence.
Capturing the beauty of this card, I angled it toward the natural light.
Here are the steps to create this card.
1. Die cut the Poppystamps “Evangeline Pinpoint Frame” from the Memory Box “Earth Neutral Collection”.
2. Die cut the ” Fanciful Fall Leaves ” from the shimmering cardstock by Memory Box “Festive Glitter Pad” and the acorns with kraft cardstock.
3. Color the top half of the acorns with the Distress embossing pen and heat emboss with Vintage Photo glaze.
4. Color the lower portion of the acorn with the pen to give it a wet look.
5. Hot foil and die cut the “Hello” sentiment with the Poppystamps “Birthday Wishes Poe Script” set in Spellbinders Glimmer Rose Gold Foil. Use cardstock from the Memory Box “Lush Green Collection”.
6. Hof foil and die cut the “You are the Best” sentiment with the “Modest Greetings 2” set in gold foil. Use a medium to heavy weight cardstock in white.
These are the dies and now it’s almost time to start gluing the pieces together!
7. Cut a strip of kraft cardstock large enough to leave a fine border of kraft at the top and orange glitter at the bottom. Glue together as pictured.
8. Cut a strip of gold glitter cardstock and cut it at an angle on the left side for interest. Glue “Hello” on the gold strip.
9. Cut a 4.25 x 5.5 panel in green. Glue the panel on a kraft card base.
10. Arrange the pieces as you like. A few things before gluing together–The orange oak leaf on the gold strip has an extra piece where it is on the grey background to keep it level. The adjacent acorns are three layers thick for dimension.
11. Affix an orange jewel from the Open Studio “Autumn Fairy Jewels” on the sentiment to finish the card!
Make sure to wear sunglasses when viewing this card, it is a brilliant display of sparkle and glitter outside!
When I look at this card, I feel tons of energy and excitement anticipating the approaching festivities! I can’t wait to create more projects with these amazing Poppystamps dies and glitter paper. I hope you get chance to check out the website – http://www.poppystamps.com They are so awesome!
