Hi there my creative and crafty friends! I told you I'd be back soon!! Hee hee. I am up on The Greetery Blog today to share a fun project, and I'm sharing it here on my blog too. As you know, Autumn is my very favorite season, and it's my favorite time of year to craft, too. I am so happy it's September and the season is changing! Can't wait to wear a sweater, and a jean jacket, and be cozy!! So, that cozy feeling of Autumn is what inspired my card for today.... Sweater Weather!!
My finished card is A2 sized, and made from kraft cardstock. I layered cream and russet and then more kraft! My card features that adorable Hearts at Home Sweater Die! The sentiment is from one of my favorite Greetery sets - Top Down Autumn. I used all the warm fall tones.... This card is kinda clean and simple and graphic. When I first saw the sweater die at Valentine's Day, I immediately thought of Fall!!
Here's a side view of my layers....
I started by using my MISTI to stamp the classic Windowpane background in brown ink onto cream cardstock. I die cut two Crimped Rectangles dies to frame the sweaters. I mixed and matched warm Fall tones of cardstocks to make the sweaters and the small images for the front of the sweaters. Leaves and pumpkins - perfect! The colored cardstock pieces are gently inked around the edges with matching inks.... Leaves and pumpkins - so perfect!!
The sentiment is stamped in brown ink and die cut with the matching die. This is from the Top Down Autumn Set! To assemble the card, I intertwined the sweaters and mounted them to the card with foam tape. I kinda wish I had some sweaters like this! (Too bad it's still 90+ degrees here too!)
That's it for my card for today! Wishing you a very happy Autumn season.... I hope you have a wonderful and creative day and I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! XOXO
