Happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing with you the last two cards of the set of 6 that were made from one piece the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Papers. You can see the first two cards here: Beauty of the Earth in 5 Minutes or less And you can see Cards #3 and #4 here: Beauty of the Earth – 10 minutes or less . Now here are the last two cards:
For these cards, I changed the cardstock base to Early Espresso. I used two different colors of cardstock for a mat – Cherry Cobbler on the left and Crumb Cake on the right. When adding this layer to the base card, I used dimensionals to attach it. I also used dimensionals to attach the sentiment tag.
The leaves are die cut from the Gorgeous Leaves Dies. I adhered one small dimentional that I trimmed to the back of the large leaf and attached it to the card front. The small leaves are attached with a single glue dot and layered on the front. The gold trim was tied into a bow and adhered with a glue dot. And I added a few Brushed Metallic gems to the front. Just a little bling!
With each set of cards I added a little bit more to the cards – ribbon instead of twine, cardstock mats for the papers and this time, I added dimensionals, die cut leaves and embellishments!
So one simple piece of Designer Series Paper – from this
to this:
If you would like to make the last two cards (#5 and #6), you will need the following supplies

I hope these cards inspired you whether you are new to stamping and want to keep it simple, or a little more of casual stamper – adding a few layers or more of an avid stamper – and you want to go all out – layers, dimensions, die cuts, etc. Stamping has something for everyone – all ages and all skill levels.
Happy Stamping!
