Pretty Hand Penned
Today’s card is a gatefold card featuring a belly band and was made using most of the already cut pieces from my last card class plus a new floral piece. I’ve used one of the beautiful papers from the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper, a floral piece stamped from Hand Penned Petals stamp set & cut out using the Penned Flowers die set. All of these products are featured in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ UP! Annual Catalog. Hop on over to my website to shop at:

Monday’s Project-Global Design
Global Design - Project #311 This week's Global Design Project theme challenge is Leaves.
I love Fall leaves and miss seeing the color changes that happen this time of year in my home state of Washington. We get a few falling leaves here in Southern California but not the quantity nor do we see the beautiful colors. However, I can conjur up some gorgeous Fall Leaves from paper and actually made a quite a LOT earlier this month for our church's bulletin board! With that in mind, my first thought was to puruse my collection of dies and pull out 2 or 3. Next I wanted to use the "new & happening" cork specialty paper" that I had in my stash. I cut my cork down to 4-15/16" wide and 3-11/16" high and then adhered that to a pice of Baic Black cardstock(#121045) measuring 5-1/8" wide and 3-13/16" high. I die cut the leaves from Crumbcake cardstock(#120953) and then using my blending brushes(#153611), colored them to mimic nature using Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Old Olive and a hint of Real Red ink pads. Dies used were: Beautiful Branches (retired) and Sunflowers (#152704). I used a piece of good ole' copy paper from my printer underneath the dies as I brushed on the colors and once done I was delightfullyy surprised at what I saw. I loved it so much that I turned my die cut leaves over and "recreated" the look onto a piece of Vanilla cardstock (#101650)then die cut the piece from Stitched So Sweetly (#151690) dies. I've embellished with the Gold from Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) and both Black and Gold sequins also from my stash.
The card front was adhered to a piece of Canjun Craze cardstock (#119684) measuring 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2" to create a landscape side folding card. Meanwhile that gorgeous piece of copier paper is still sitting on my desk and I thought - why not try using this on the envelope and inside the card. So, I was careful to not only apply the liquid glue but also to carefully spread the glue with my fingers to avoid the "lines" that typically show up with liquid glue and it worked beautifully! I LOVE the envelop flap, the strip on the front of the envelope and the strip on the inside of the card! I will definitely us this "stencil" technique again with my die cut pieces!

What’s Up Tuesday, part 2
Before
and after…
I posted the above “hot mess” earlier with an invitation to come back later to see what I would do. I present the many, many leaves cut out from the hot mess plus several@other from solid card stock. Pretty cool, right?
What’s Up Tuesday
What are you up to today?
I am working on pieces & parts for our Church September Bulletin Board!
Leaves, leaves, leaves -changing colors, falling to the ground, floating through the air welcoming the Autumn Season. Doesn’t this look like a “hot mess”? I used the baby wipe method for stamping only this time I made a big pallet and colored the entire sheet of paper. Once the paper fully dries, I will cut out leaves from the “Stitches Leaves” Dies (pictured). After coloring 3 sheets of cardstock, I misted water on my pallet and used the leaf stamp from “Gather Together” to create & cut a bunch of leaves. I plan to add some additional color.
Check back later to see the end results…see what gorgeous-ness this hit mess transforms into…
