Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Wild Wheat cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base. Adhere one of the 4” x 5-1/4” pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Using the other 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock, run through the Cut & Emboss Machine & emboss both sides using the “wave” Cheery Patterns Embossing Folder. Adhere to the front of the card.
- Adhere the Garden Walk paper to the 2-1/4” strip of Wild Wheat cardstock. Adhere to the center of the card front.
- Stamp the large leaf & inside vein images onto the Garden Green cardstock using Garden Green ink. Run through the cut & Emboss machine and cut out using the dies from the Autumn Leaves Bundle. Adhere stem image to the back of the leaf so only the stem shows and adhere to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the “to have you” sentiment at the bottom right of the 1” strip of Basic White cardstock using the Berry Burst ink pad. Stamp the “I’m thankful” sentiment above that using Garden Green ink. Adhere to the Lost Lagoon cardstock and adhere to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is the perfect card sketch for whenever you have some pretty paper you’d like to use! Just grab 2-3 colors from the paper you want to use and pull your coordinating cardstock, inks and any embellishments you’d like! If you’d like to simplify this card, simply remove the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folder that I used on this card!
