Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves

31 July 2024
9 Comments

31 Jul

Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Hello, Friends,

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team. Each month will have a different theme and this month’s theme is – Foliage Fun

I created the card using the Changing Leaves Bundle

Basic Gray, Pool Party, Highland Heather, Basic White and Basic Black are the colours I used.I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has created.

CHANGING LEAVES

  • Emboss the layer 1 Basic Gray cardstock and then sponge the centre of the card using Basic Gray ink to get the dark shade behind
  • Splatter the background using a water-mixed white reinker.
  • Die-cut the leaves from the Pool Party, Highland Heather, Smoky Slate and Basic White.
  • Adhere all the die-cut pieces one on another using glue and Stampin’ Dimensional.

I sponged the Pool Party die-cut leaves using the Pool Party and Pretty Peacock ink with the light effect to get different shades of the leaves.

Measurements

  • Base card – Basic Gray – 10.5cm x 29.8cm scored@14.9cm(4 1/4″ x 11″ scored @ 5 1/2″)
  • Layer 1 Basic Gray : 9.7cm x 14.1cm (embossed – 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″)

    Maheswari, as your sentiment says, your card is amazing! The large green leaf makes the other foliage stand out. Very interesting colors. Enjoy your day!

    This card is a feast for the eyes. It’s like getting lost in all the beautiful layers. Great choice of colors.

    Love the alternative dark background, this really makes the leaves the focal point of the card.

This month's theme is to Creating Backgrounds.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and created a soft watercolored background. Once the watercolour was completely dry, I stamped the images in Black ink over the top, creating a beautiful contrast that really makes the design stand out.

This month theme is one of my fav thats USE Your Scraps! As crafters, we all have those leftover bits of cardstock, Designer Series Paper, and die-cuts waiting to be used. There’s something so satisfying about turning those scraps into a beautiful handmade card instead of letting them sit in a pile!
