Nine Patch & Leaf Thank you Card

Hello Dies R Us Fans,

Diane here to share a sweet Fall Thank you card using the Impression Obsession Scalloped Nine Patch die along with the Fall Mini Leaves die. Fall is my very favorite time of year. I love walking outside and feeling the crisp, fresh, cool, clean air. I enjoy all the colors of Fall too. The deep red, sun-kissed orange, bright yellow and all tones of brown... Amazing!

Come see what I created today...

Card Recipe:

This card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2 size) I began with a white 110 lb card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored it in half at 5 1/2.

Then I selected lots of Fall solid colored cardstock from my scrap bin. Using the Mini Leaves die, DIE095-D by Impression Obsession I cut my leaves.

Next, I selected my back ground paper for my card. I decided on a navy with white poka dots. Then using the Scalloped Nine Patch die, DIE934-ZZ, I cut it out of 110 lb white cardstock and the navy paper. This die cuts out the outer frame, the window frame and all the little squares. I didn't use the white little squares, but instead replaced them with the navy squares using Scotch tape on the underside. I kept the white two frames together using Scotch tape also. Next, I popped up the Nine Patch using some foam tape.

Then I added all the pretty die cut leaves in the center of some of the windows.

Next, I stamped my sentiment. I used "fired brick" Distress Ink along with the Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings stamp. Cut my sentiment into a strip, added a flag tail and adhered it to my card. Using a couple of the larger leaves, I adhered them to the front of my sentiment and finished it with a golden sequin.

That's it. An easy fun card to make.

Give Thanks

Hello Friends,

Diane here to share with you a Thanksgiving or Autumn card using several wonderful die sets available at Dies R Us. For this card I used all solid color card stock making it easy to duplicate.

My top folding white card base measures 6 1/4 X 5 1/2. I then cut piece of white card measuring 5 7/8 X 5 1/4. I cut a piece of metallic beige card measuring 5 5/8 X 5 and embossed it using an Anna Griffin embossing folder called Thistle Bouquet. Next, I cut the background die. I used the Creative Expression, craft die by Sue Wilson called, "Californian Collection - Beverly Hills", CED1105. This focal die is available at Dies R Us. I cut all three dies out with 110 lb. white cardstock. I then took the center medallion and glued it to a piece of 65 lb. white cardstock and carefully fussy cut it out.

Then using the Karen Burniston, "Autumn Elements - 1059" eight piece die set, available at Dies R Us, I cut out all my embellishments using a variety of colored cardstock. I also cut a few elements using the Impression Obsession dies, DIE095-D. Next, I stamped my sentiment, Give Thanks, and cut it out using the "Stitched Nesting Hexagons" by Tutti designs, Tutti-616.

Then I put everything together. First I glued the embossed panel to the white cardstock panel. Next I glued down my Sue Wilson die cut being careful placing down the center medallion. Next, I added my sentiment to the lower right hand corner using pop dots. Now, I can carefully place all my die cut elements into a pleasing fall bouquet. I popped the pumpkins, so I could tuck the leaves under them. After I glued all that down, then I placed my card front onto my card base with pop up foam pieces (pop dots). And for the very last touch I added some flat backed pearls to the card. I hope you will give this card a try.
