Crafty Blog Hops Gilded Autumn

Hey Y'all!

I am so excited to join in this blog hop featuring one of my favorite suites from the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog.  I am sure you have already seen some amazing projects as you have hopped along with us.  I live in the Deep South, so we don't get much fall weather-it seems like we go straight from summer to winter, and you never know if you will be wearing shorts or sweaters on Christmas.  But I do love fall, and I am looking forward to sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee as the weather cools.  So even if we don't get the changing of the leaves like people further north, I wanted my card to reflect that beauty.

My card features the "baby wipe" technique.  To do this technique, apply drops of re-inker onto a folded baby wipe.  This become your ink pad. I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze to give the leaves the fall colors. I stamped the outline image in Early Espresso, then inked up the solid stamp with the baby wipe to fill in the color.  

I added a strip of the DSP, and a piece of the Brushed Copper Foil that I embossed with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders.  The sentiment is heat embossed with Copper embossing powder onto a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock layered on top of a strip of Cajun Craze. (I am now officially in mourning because it was only after I had made my project that I realized my absolute favorite embossing powder has been retired.)  I used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to add a decorative edge. I punched out one of the leaves and added a small bow made with the Copper Grosgrain Ribbon from this suite. It doesn't show up in the pictures, but I added some sparkle to the leaves with my Wink of Stella. 

Card Measurements:

• Card Base-Very Vanilla Thick 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
• Cajun Craze layer- 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
• Very Vanilla layer- 4 x 5-1/4
• DSP- 1-1/4 x 5
• Copper Foil- 1-3/4 x 3-1/2
• Cajun Craze strip- 4-1/4 x 1
• Very Vanilla- 3-3/4 x 5/8

Gilded Autumn Zoom Class

 Hey Y'all!

We had so much fun at my Jar of Flowers Zoom Class last week!  If we can't meet in person, Zoom is the next best thing!  If you aren't sure how it works, I will be happy to help you.  My next class will feature the Gilded Autumn Suite (pg 44-46 of the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog.) This is going to be a fun class (well, I wouldn't have a boring class, would I? lol!) with SIX projects!  This is a beautiful suite.  When you sign up, let me know what level you are choosing.  You can email me at ninamac32@hotmail.com. 

Here are the details:

This Zoom class features the Gilded Autumn Suite from the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog.  The projects are designed to feature the Designer Series Paper.  The Beautiful Autumn Bundle is recommended, but you can use other stamp sets if you like.  You will just need to fussy cut some elements from the DSP for one of the projects.  You will receive all the supplies needed to make 6 projects, including 3 cards, a gift box, and a gift card holder.  You will need adhesive and 3 ink colors-Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, and Early Espresso.  Ink spots can be purchased as kit add-ons.  The class will be recorded, so if you can't attend the Zoom meeting live that day, the video can be sent to you.
