Autumn Punch Pack – Let’s Make a Wreath!

What happens when you pick your favorite fall cardstock colors of Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Bumblebee and Old Olive and combine them with the Autumn Punch Pack and a whole lot of glue dots?? A little disclaimer….I took the above picture before I used up most of what I had punched to make this: It was so easy to make.  I started with a leftover scalloped circle that I had cut the middle out of.  I used that as my base and randomly attached the leaves using the glue dots.  I alternated colors and shapes of the leaves and went counterclockwise around.  When I got back to the starting point, I just tucked a few of the leaves underneath the leaves at the starting point. And the best part is that there is no mess either.  The leaves are too small to try and use Stampin’ Seal and glue would have been messy.  Glue dots were the answer.  I attached a leaf to the glue dot and then pulled it off the “tape” they come on….the glue dot stays attached to the cardstock leaf, making it easy-peasy to adhere to the circle frame. I attached the wreath to a piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.  The paper already had a wood grained look, but I decided to give it a little more texture by embossing it with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. If you look closely at the photo below you can see some of the plank ridges.  It looks like a real piece of wood doesn’t it? All that was left was to stamp a sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock – which is from the Gathered Leaves Stamp Set –  adhere it to the front of the card, and then add a little ribbon.  I used two pieces of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon to make the bow. If you would like to make this card, these are the supplies you will need:

• Cherry Cobbler Cardstock – Cut 4 1/4” x 11”; score and fold at 5 1/2”
• In Good Taste Designer Series Paper – Cut 5 1/4 “x 4“
• Very Vanilla Cardstock – Cut 5 1/4” x 4” (inside) and scrap for Stitched Oval
• Cardstock scraps in the following colors: Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Bumblebee and Old Olive
• Autumn Punch Pack
• Ink: Early Espresso
• Adhesive: Stampin’ Seal and Glue Dots
• Gathered Leaves Stamp Set (sentiment (or choose your own!)
• Stitched Shapes Dies

For this card I also stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a few stamped leaves. Have a great week-end and Happy Stamping! Patricia

The new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be available to order on September 1st!  As a Demonstrator, I was able to pre-order one during the month of August.  It arrived on Monday….and I can’t say enough good things about it!  It’s easy to use, easy, smooth sending the dies and embossing machine through the machine and best of all it folds up so it takes up a smaller footprint on my craft desk….leaving me more room to create!  There are also easy instructions right on the base plate of how to make the “sandwiches” for both die cutting and embossing.  Plus all the plates are numbered, so there is no confusion of what to use!  You can find it in the Annual Catalog on pages 170-172.  Presently only the larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss is available.   The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss will not available on September 1st….but it’s coming in the next few months!
