Print Instructions Pin Instructions

Supplies Needed
  

  • Pumpkin Pie Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (2 pieces)
  • Basic White Cardstock: 1/2" x 3-1/2" (for sentiment)

Instructions
 

  • Fold the Pumpkin Pie 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. Decorate as desired.
  • Run the other piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and die-cut using the 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" Perennial Postage die.
  • Ink up the small leaf using the Crushed Curry ink pad. Lightly stamp off on your scrap paper and then take a Sponge Dauber with Pumpkin Pie ink and lightly shade the stamp. Huff on your stamp (the moistness of your breath will help reactivate the ink) and stamp at the top of the left side of the die-cut Basic White cardstock.
  • Clear your stamp and repeat the process, stamping right below the first stamped leaf (see sample for placement.)
  • Clean your stamp and repeat the process above, this time stamping at the bottom of the die-cut Basic White cardstock.
  • Stamp the sentiment onto the center of the 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Adhere to the area between the 2nd and 3rd leaf using adhesive. Add a Metallic Gem on each side.
  • Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals to finish.

Notes

Worker Bee  (for Confident Cardmakers)
Worker Bee projects are designed for the crafter who has a bit more time and enjoys creating a handmade card that features a technique or tool. In this case, a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is required for die-cutting.  
That said, this is a super easy Busy Bee card, so if you don't have a die-cut machine and/or the dies, simply using a rectangle shape cut with your Paper Trimmer.
