Welcome Fall Y’all

Welcome to the Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop

I am happy that you are here!  This month’s theme is “Welcome Fall Y’All”.  Of course, when I think “fall”, I think of fall colors: Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, etc.  The “Birds of a Feather” stamp set was my choice to create my card today.  I hope you like it.

The Card:

I glued two, 2″ panels of Come To Gather designer series paper onto a Crumb Cake card base.  I colored the turkey with Stampin’ Blends Markers, and added a touch of gold glimmer, presto, a card was made.

The Inside:

I adhered a 3/4″ strip of designer paper on the bottom of the inside Very Vanilla panel.  True confession: I originally stamped the sentiment with Merry Merlot ink and may or may not have stamped it extremely crooked.  Consequently, I used the smallest Layering Circles die and cut the sentiment out of the panel.  In order to make the sentiment larger to cover the hole, I used a little gold glimmer paper to die-cut the smallest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles dies.  Finally, I die-cut the Merry Merlot circle with the next larger Layering Circle die.  (There is almost always a way to “fix” a mistake!)  After layering these three pieces, the unit was glued over the hole in the inside panel.  I think it looks rather good, how about you?

Side View:

As you can see in this photo, the two round focal pieces were adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

The Measurements:

Crumb Cake – 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored and folded at 5 1/2″

Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″, scraps to stamp

Cajun Craze – scraps to die-cut

Gold Glimmer Paper – scraps to die-cut

Designer Series Paper – (2) 4″ x 2″,  4″ x 3/4″

Up-close Look:

I used several fall colored Stampin’ Blends Markers to color in my little turkey image as follows:

Dark Soft Suede: whole turkey.

Dark Basic Black: the hat.

Dark Daffodil Delight: hat band and beak.

Dark Cherry Cobbler:  Apron and thingy from nose.

Light and Dark Cajun Craze: apron pocket.

Dark Crumb Cake: Feet and pie plate.

Light Crumb Cake: Pie crust.

All tail feathers were colored with Light Blends: Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.

Take a close look at the “Birds of a Feather” stamp set.  It is super cute!!  Now, it is time to move on to the next blog for more inspiration.  ENJOY!
