Stamping with Julie Gearinger: With Gratitude

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick and easy card using the new stamp set, Falling Leaves Border Strip for the sentiment, the new Craft Consortium Monochrome Ink Drops 6x6 paper along with other dies and supplies from Stamp Simply.

As many of you who follow my blog, I have a personal goal to create a card using each of the over 900+ sketches from Splitcoaststampers. For this card, I used the SC655 sketch for the layout.

I am also playing along with the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge site- fabulous projects from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of gray cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the Falling Leaves Border Strip set with Versamark™ ink, apply copper embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim the panel, mount onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto copper cardstock.

Trim a piece of the Monochrome Ink Drops paper to approx. 2 ¾” x 5 ½”. Mount onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto copper cardstock.

Emboss a piece of gray cardstock with the 3D Texture Fades Leaves embossing folder.

Apply copper shimmer paint over the embossed panel, trim and mount onto white cardstock, trim again and mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” copper cardstock.

Adhere the entire panel onto a white card base.

Add the monochrome ink drop panel allowing part of the panel to overlap the top of the card.

Die cut the large leaf from the Tim Holtz Skeletal Leaves Die from copper cardstock. Mount the leaf die cut onto the monochrome panel (trimming off part of the stem).

Adhere the sentiment panel with dimensional foam to finish off the card.
