For today’s blog post, I’m sharing my Creative Artisan Project, designed with the Changing Leaves Bundle. The bundle has unusual leaves that includes a hybrid embossing folder.

Changing Leaves

The first card is a fun fold. The Crumb Cake card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored at 2 3/4″ on each end and folded to the center. Use your Bone Folder to insure the ends meeting evenly in the center. Cut two “doors” from Pecan Pie Cardstock, 5 1/8″ X 1 7/8″. Layer with Crumb Cake Cardstock, 5″ X 1 3/4″, and Country Woods DSP, 4 3/4″ X 1 1/2″. Glue one “door” on the right side of the card base, and one “door” on the left side, making sure the borders are even. Be careful to glue only the half that attaches to the card base.

Next, I decorated the “doors” with leaves, cut from Full Of Life Designer Paper with a Changing Leaves Die. The sprig was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock with a Changing Leaves Die. I doubled the leaves with cardstock for thickness, glued them in place, and added Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots on each “door,” as hinges.”Thank you” is from the Changing Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Pecan Pie Ink, cut with a Changing Leaves Die, and attached with Dimensionals. I completed the inside with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, stamped with “I couldn’t have done it without you,” and die-cut leaves.

The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Pecan Pie Cardstock, 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″. The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder.

The leaves were stamped in Real Red Ink, Pumpkin Pie Ink and Crushed Curry Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used a portion of the large, Changing Leaves Die to cut the leaves, and attached them to the card front with glue and Dimensionals (the stems and some of the leaves were glued). The sentiment, “You are amazing in every single way,” was stamped in Pecan Pie Ink, cut with a Changing Leaves Die, and attached with Dimensionals. Cascading Champagne Iridescent Dots, adhered with tiny dots of glue, was the final detail. 

All of the supplies used to create the two projects are in my Product List below.
