Hi there! It's Kim from
Katydid Cards. It's one of those months when I get to post twice here at Connie Can
Crop. Today I'm sharing another card using files from our sponsor
this month,
Paper Crafting World.
This card combines components from two different cut files,
Daisies, Sunflowers and Pennants CF and
Cherry Cherries Base CF. From the first, I used the pennant and mats and the circle and scalloped circle from the second. The
Acorns N' Leaves CF was used to make the focal piece.
I
used Farmers Market DSP and Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Very
Vanilla card stock, all from Stampin Up on the card. The focal piece
was cut from Blackberry Bliss, Cherry Cobbler, Hello Honey and Mossy
Meadow. The acorns were cut from scrap, three shades of brown.
I
created a stitched border on the Very Vanilla mats; just a little bit of
detail. I used my Simply Scored diagonal plate to accentuate the
plaid. I embossed the circle with the Square Lattice but I didn't like
it, so I ran it through the Big Shot again without any embossing folder
to flatten out the embossing and then scored using the diagonal plate
again. For the leaves, I folded them in half and ran them through a
paper crimper. The acorn tops were embossed with the Square Lattice
embossing folder. I also coated the acorn bottoms and the scalloped
circle with Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.
Inside,
I borrowed components from the front to create a sentiment. I color
matched it to Blackberry Bliss. If I were to do this again, I would opt
for another font as I see now it's a bit difficult to read.
