Changing Leaves and Everyday Greetings

 

These are brand new stamp sets that will available to purchase as a On line exclusive in July. The Changing Leaves stamp set has coordination dies and also an embossing folder. I have never used Pretty Peacock instead of a green on a leaf card but as I went through my designer paper I found this Pretty Peacock paper with leaves on it and decided to use it. I liked the Wild Wheat with the Peacock better than Daffodil, but still went with the normal Pumpkin Pie. I really like the way it turned out.

Assembly:

Emboss one vanilla card stock panel with the Changing Leaves embossing folder, using the Specialty Plate. Sponge edges with Wild Wheat using a sponge dauber.

Stamp sentiment on the 1” Vanilla using Pretty Peacock ink then sponge edges with Wild Wheat ink using a sponge dauber.

To stamp leaves use a sponge dauber to apply ink to stamp. On the largest leaf use first the Wild Wheat to the top half of the leaves then the Pumpkin Pie on the bottom half making sure to ink the center line. The thin leaves I sponged one half with Wild Wheat and the other half with Pretty Peacock. The smallest leaf was done just like the larger one. Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card also. Sentiment on inside also Pretty peacock and leaves done same as on the front. If you want the peacock leaves on the inside stamp your Pumpkin/wheat leaf first and make a paper mask by stamping on masking paper (you can ink that with ink pad in a single color) Either cut out or use the die. I fussy cut mine so I would not have the small border around the leaf. Place mask on stamped leaf and stamp your Peacock/wheat leaf on top. Carefully remove mask and store in your stamp case for future use. Don’t forget to stamp one leaf on the back or bottom left of your envelope.

Glue designer paper to embossed panel using Tombo liquid glue. Add Tear Tape around all four edges, remove backing and put tape side down on Silicone Craft sheet. Add a small bead of Tombo liquid glue on the Vanilla embossed paper right along the edge of the designer paper, Add a 6 ½” piece of Wild Wheat Jute trim leaving ½” on each side. Turn jute to back side and stick to tear tape. I also add a ½” piece on tear tape on top the jute on the back to extra insurance. Removed backing and adhere to Pumpkin Pie mat, adhere the Pumpkin Mat to card front using Tombo glue.

Die cut leaves using the Changing leaves die and add to card front using Stampin Dimensionals. Be carful to not add dimensionals where jute trim is or when layered on another leaf. I use Tombo glue when on top of another leaf and dimensional where it is not. Add sentiment adding dimensionals only on the two ends and glue in center where place on the leaves.

Using the spatula tip or putty side to add three gems to the card front.

Add inside stamped panel to Pumpkin mat and adhere to inside of card using Tombo glue.

Admire and enjoy your creation.
