More Hello Harvest

Hello again!  Hope you're doing well today.  The weather has been a little cooler and it's been great having the doors and windows open.  Love this time of the year!  Since I've been enjoying it so much, I've reverted back to an autumn idea.  Today's card uses the Hello Harvest Bundle and the coordinating Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.  These are found on pages 48-50 in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog and are truly wonderful!  With those components, you just can't lose!

Doesn't this card just scream fall to you?  I love the two Designer Series Paper prints used here to complement each other.  And then adding the stamped and die-cut leaves that are "scrunched" for texture - oh my!  It just makes me happy.  Let's dive into the dimensions so you can make this too.

This starts with Mossy Meadow cardstock that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It's scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.  The first layer is the Mossy Meadow print from the Rustic Harvest DSP found on page 49. Don't the swirls remind you of the curlicues on the pumpkins? So cute.  It measures 5 1/4" x 4" and is attached flat with adhesive.  

The focal point on the card started out with a small piece of DSP that was only 1 3/8" x 4".  I went ahead and cut a piece of Basic White the same size.  I figured these could lay side by side onto another piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  I cut the Mossy Meadow to 4 1/4" x 3" to fit both of them.  It needed a layer of Cajun Craze behind that to delineate between the Mossy Meadow cardstock layer and the same color DSP print.  I cut the Cajun Craze at 4 3/8" x 3 1/8".

The Basic White layer of cardstock has the "...blessing" sentiment stamped on the right half using Mossy Meadow ink.  (I stamped it in the middle, but upon reflection, I think it would have been better if it had been stamped a little higher to leave more room for the rhinestones.)  

The pumpkin print was attached to the bottom half of the Mossy Meadow cardstock with adhesive. Then the Basic White layer was attached leaving a gap between the two and being sure to keep both the sides even.  This was attached to the card front using Dimensionals to give it some lift.

There is an oak leaf that is part of the Hello Harvest stamp set.  I inked this with Mossy Meadow ink, then stamped it three times (without reinking at all) on some Basic White cardstock.  I like the different hues of the leaves which I thought looked more natural than having all of them the exact same color.  They were each die-cut with the coordinating die.  

When placing them on the card, they looked flat, so I "scrunched" them up in my hands and then only partially flattened them to attach to the card front.  They are attached with a Mini Glue Dot at the base of each leaf.  For an accent, I thought the Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon found on page 146 of the Annual Catalog was perfect.  I tied a smaller bow and trimmed the ends neatly.  Then attached with a Mini Glue Dot right over the base of the leaves.

Lastly, I grabbed the Leaf Label and Amber Gems Combo Pack.  These are found on page 49 in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.  Three gems were placed under the wording to accent it and draw your eye there.  

That's it for today's card.  Hope you like the lovely layers of DSP and the warm fall colors.  On this card, it's really all about the Rustic Harvest DSP.  That's the real star of this card.

Just a reminder that the Perfect Partners sale is starting to wind down.  It finishes up on the last day of September, so there aren't many days left if you need to get a last-minute order in.  And a big "thank you" to those of you that did order the stamps and dies you wanted already.  It's greatly appreciated.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon
