A CHRISTMAS WOODS

This week I will be using products from the gorgeous Lights of Aurora Suite.  This isn't technically a Christmas Suite, but since Christmas is approaching faster than I'd like, I really need to step up my game to get my Christmas cards made.  So I decided that each week from now until early December I need to make at least one Christmas card from each suite or bundle that I feature.

It  may not look like it, but this card was super quick & easy.  The beautiful Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper (DSP) makes the card.  The most difficult part of the card was choosing which of the Lights of Aurora designs to use!

Once that decision was made, the rest was easy.  The two Basic White tree lines were die cut with the Light & Wonder dies.

The tips of the trees on the smaller trees in the foreground with very lightly colored with Pool Party ink and a sponge dauber and then a little Wink of Stella was added.  The tiny bit of color along with sparkle and shine from the Wink of Stella, help to set them off.  


Since I wanted the focus to be on the beautiful DSP and the trees, I wanted a simple small greeting, so I searched my stash.  I found this MERRY Christmas in a retired set called, Hope & Peace, but you could use any greeting you have.

The border around the greeting is from an Online Exclusive Bundle called Sign Design.  The bundle includes a stamp set with a wide variety of greetings and a punch and my Hope & Peace Merry Christmas fit perfectly inside the stamped Pool Party border.

The sentiments on the inside of the card are from the Light & Wonder Bundle which is part of this week's featured Suite Collection.  So see -- it's wasn't difficult to easily turn a non-Christmas stamp set into a Christmas card!

AMBER AUTUMN EXPLOSION FUN FOLD

Today's card is EXPLOSIVE!  Well, not literally, but there is a surprise on the inside of the card that is just waiting for you to open it!

This Book Binding Fun Fold was made with the Pumpkins from the Amber Autumn stamp set and the gorgeous specialty designer series paper (DSP) called Gathering Together.  There are so many beautiful designs in this DSP collection that made it difficult to choose.


The pumpkins were colored with Stampin' Blends, but if you don't like to color, you could just as easily skip the pumpkins and just add a sentiment, and the card would be beautiful with only the DSP.  


The Bookbinding Fun Fold is a very simple fun fold, but it does provide a bit of uniqueness as compared to a standard card.  However, the real WOW of this card is on the inside!

As you open your "book" the inside "explodes" into a fun explosion fold.



Isn't that fun?  Since I wasn't sure how clear the instructions on the tutorial were I made a short video to show how to fold the explosion fold and then how to attach it to the inside of the card.  I hope this helps.

LEAVES OF AUTUMN

Today's card has a totally different "feeling" from Monday's card.  Monday's card was full of color, but today's card is quieter and "cleaner".


This card combines the embossing folder and the dies from the Peace on Earth Suite to create our Amber Autumn focal point.  The embossed background is from the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper (DSP).  If you haven't checked out this gorgeous DSP you are going to want to take a closer look.  It is a specialty DSP that has champagne foil accents.  I used a non-foiled side for this card, but both sides are beautiful.

The embossing folder is the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder from the Peaceful Garden Suite.


The mat for my die cut sentiment was made from Copper Foil which is a great color for fall cards.  I actually die cut the mat from the center of my inside foil mat.  This is a great way to stretch the more expensive foil cardstock.


The leaves and acorn image is from the Amber Autumn stamp set.  It was colored with various fall color Stampin' Blends.  The colors used are listed in the product list below and also more specific directions are on the PDF tutorial.

A double bow of Early Espresso Linen Thread and a three Sparkle Gems complete the card front. 


the leaves and acorn image was stamped and colored on the inside of the card which is matted with Copper Foil.  You would never know that there is a big hole in the foil mat where the front die cut is front, would you?
