Hi Again Stampers!
I wanted to create another card this weekend and decided to play
along with the CMCC46 Colour Me! Challenge along with the CCC49 Catherine and Cathy Thankful Challenge.
Again, I
hope you will find the time to visit both sites to see the wonderful Design
Team cards as well as their fantastic galleries!
I used quite a few of my scraps to create this Clean
and Layered (CAL) card:
Ink
the sentiment from the retired set, Short & Sweet using Night of Navy
Classic Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock. Create the banner ends using a Hexagon Punch
and mount onto Night of Navy cardstock, creating banners as well with the
Hexagon Punch.
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Wplus9 Studio Maple Leaf Die to cut the maple leaf from
the retired Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (DSP). Set the leaf aside for
future use and punch out the negative using the 2 ½” Circle Punch.
Punch
another 2 ½” circle punch from Night of Navy DSP and two circles from Night of
Navy cardstock. Layer the Night of Navy
DSP behind the maple leaf die cut.
Layer
the two Night of Navy cardstock circles together to create a frame and mount
the maple die cut image onto the layered circles.
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Adorning Accents Edgelit™ to cut a piece of Whisper
White and Tangerine Tangelo Twist cardstock.
Use
the Big Shot™ to emboss both pieces along the cut edge with the Adorning
Accents Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Begin
the layering process- layer the two embossed pieces onto a piece of Night of
Navy DSP, trim and mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, trim and
mount onto a piece of Tangelo Twist cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of
Night of Navy cardstock, trim and mount onto the Whisper White card base.
Add
a small strip of Night of Navy across the top of the embossed/die cut Whisper
White layer and a larger strip of Night of Navy cardstock to the center of the
panel.
Add
the Retro Fresh Washi Tape over the larger strip in the center.
Mount
the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add the retired Sycamore
Street Designer Button to the center of the leaf (with a small strip of Night
of Navy to mimic thread).
Add
the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

of Navy
