Stampin' Up! Amber Trees Dies card front

I made this card using the very fun Autumn Trees Dies. And no, I have not used these dies before – so this was a new set for me to try – and I loved it. First I did the die cut of the tree itself – the trunk and green were all part of the same die and I colored it after die cutting. I used a sponge dauber and wished I had used Blending Brushes. I like the way Blending Brushes create variations of intensity of a color. Next time! I used Garden Green and Early Espresso inks to color this. I then used another die and ran it through two times: once on Cajun Craze card stock and secondly on Crushed Curry – it shows in all these pretty leaves. I cut the Crushed Curry apart & placed them in various places around the tree adhering with tiny dots of liquid glue. I then added the Cajun Craze layer, also with dots of liquid glue. I then took my Wink of Stella & tapped it against a block to add sparkles all over. Of course, it doesn’t show in the photo 😖 I set this aside to put together the card base.

Card base: Pecan Pie 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

Layer: Mossy Meadow 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Gathering Together Specialty DSP: 4 x 5 1/4

I added the tree to the card front with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment using the Amber Autumn stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink then added a strip of Mossy Meadow to the bottom to create a shadow effect. I put dimensionals on the ends of the sentiment banner & attached it over the trunk of the tree. Finis!

Stampin' Up! Amber Trees Dies & Amber Autumn card inside

For the inside, I stamped this gorgeous stamp of acorns & leaves, symbolizing fall, in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set (bundle available!) This was added to another Mossy Meadow cut 4 18 x 5 3/8 then attached to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, I stamped the same acorns & leaves image in Early Espresso ink on the front of the envelope. A piece of Gathering Together Specialty DSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. To purchase the materials to make this card, please see the product list below.
