Fall Fancy Fold - Standing Box Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello everyone,

I've been wanting to make this fancy fold card for a long time.  This morning I decided today is the day!  I was surprised at how quickly it came together once I had decided on colors, designer paper, etc.  It's a fun and quick little card that takes hardly any supplies.  Actually, if you keep your scraps like I do, it would be a great card for using them up.  If you give it a try, send me a picture of your creation.  Would love to see it.

Fall-Themed Thanksgiving Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hi friends,

Back again with the third and last fall themed card, but with the sentiment of "Give Thanks."  My idea is to use it as a Thanksgiving greeting card.  For some unknown reason, I've been drawn to wreaths lately, so once again a wreath die was used for the focal point of the card.  I really like how the wreath shows up on the background image.  It was made using the Stampin' Up Hardwood stamp with Walnut Stain Distress Ink on red card stock.  The gold foil berries and the red foil bow give just the right amount of shine to the card.  I hope you like it, too.

1.  Stamp red panel with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and dry with heat gun.

2.  Trim panel to 4” x 5 ¼”.

3.  At the bottom of the panel on the right, stamp the “Give Thanks” sentiment and adhere the panel to card base.

4.  Trim the dark brown acorn so there is only the top portion left.  With the light brown acorn trim off the stem.  Glue the 2 pieces together.

5.  Glue wreath to center of red panel and arrange the elements as follows:  pine branch, fern pieces, gold berries, acorn, and bow.

Fall Stitched Alphabet Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hi there card makers, 

Here's the second card from my fall card class.  When I saw the stitched alphabet die, I knew right off it was a must have.  I just love it and look forward to using it over and over for all occasions.  The background paper is from Hobby Lobby.  It caught my eye because of the great color combination.  If you are looking for a quick and easy fall card, then this one is for you.  It can be made in about 15 to 20 minutes even though it looks like it might take longer.  I was thrilled when I found that I had twine in the perfect matching colors.  So read on, and then get started!

Measurements:

Card Base:      5 ½” x 8 ½”

White Panel:   4 1/8” x 5 3/8”

DP Panel:        4” x 5 ¼”

Card Stock:     Four coordinating shades of fall colors for wreath, leaves, and letters

Twine:             Two colors – 12” each – for a bow

Dies

Assemble:

1.  Adhere the white panel to the card base, followed by the DP panel.

2.  Using 3-D tape, adhere the fall letters to the bottom of the card.

3.  Adhere the wreath centering it between the top of the DP panel and the wreath.

4.  Mold the Leaves and glue to the top of the wreath.

5.  Tie a bow with the two pieces of twine and glue to the top of the wreath.

6.  Glue two tiny acorns on the inside of the card at bottom left.

Stay tuned - the third card is coming up on Thursday.\

Mocha Cup Happy Fall Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

                        

Hello Stampers,

Today's card features my favorite drink - a hot mocha!  I'm thinking I just might have one after I finish this post.  Oh, and a red, white, and blue scone would be delicious to go with it.  If you haven't yet had one of these scones, you don't know what you're missing - raspberries, blue berries, and white chocolate chips - yummy!  Well, back to the subject at hand.  This is a fun little card for fall, but it could easily be used as a fall-themed birthday card, too.  A great idea since I need two birthday cards for October and both people are latte drinkers.  So here's the card - enjoy!

1.  With Walnut Stain Distress Ink stamp mocha cup on brown CS and cut out.  Also stamp

            “happy fall” on light green CS, punch out using SU Classic Label punch.  Cut off the point on

            the left side of the label and punch a 1/8” hole.

2.  String twine through the hole, wrap it around the cup at the top and tie a bow on the right side of 

            the cup.  Glue the twine in place and put a dab of glue on the twine knot.

3.  On the back side of the small decorative piece of CS trace the sleeve template.  Run it through the

            crimping tool then adhere it to the cup.

4.  Adhere the flowers and leaf stems to the cup, and set aside.

5.  Adhere the green panel to the card base and then add the 2 decorative strips at the bottom of the card.  And finally mount the cup onto the card and add sequins.

Card Base:      5 ½” x 8 ½”

Panel:              4” x 5 ¼”

2 DP Strips:    ½” x 4”

Ink:                  Tim Holtz Walnut Distress

 Stamps:           Hero Arts Cup of Coffee K5332; Memory Box Happy Fall B946

Punches:          Stampin' Up Classic Label Punch and a small leafy stem punch
