Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Autumn Ombre

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, the attendees made this pretty autumn ombre Birthday card.

It’s a CASE of a project I’ve made previously, but I chose autumnal colours and also used different stamp sets.

The colours were Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie, with Old Olive for the stamping and card layer.

Using some offcuts of cardstock, the section to ombre was masked off. It was then coloured using Stampin’ Pads and Blending Brushes. As the name suggests, these helped to mix the colours together beautifully.

Once the masking was removed, the leaf from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set was stamped on top.

An oval was cut out of the offcuts used for masking. It was coloured at the same time as the centre section. Then, a sentiment from the Medley Mix Stamp Set was added.

Next, three strands of Linen Thread were strung across the project. The sentiment then sits on top on Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some Rustic Metallic Dots add a subtle touch of sparkle.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Medley Mix Stamp Set

I have been asked for a ‘thinking of you’ card by my Card & Cuppa attendees, so here is last week’s project.

It uses the new Medley Mix Stamp Set from the new Mini Catalogue, along with the Inked & Tile Punch Pack that it coordinates with.

For this project I chose more muted colours of Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.

The eagle-eyed among you will notice that this design is inspired by the projects in the catalogue.

Leaves and the background detail are from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, with the leaves cut out with the coordinating Bough Punch.

Other images are from the Medley Mix Stamp Set, with the circle cut using the 1 3/4″ punch from the Online Exclusives range.

Thinking of you is from the the Go To Greetings stamp set. All of the pieces are layered together with the sentiment on the top.

Finally, a few Iridescent Pearls are added.

I think this project would look great in a number of colour ways and with different sentiments too.
