Hi, Margie here today with a sweet pastel-themed Fall Feeling Layered Card! I saw this paper pack from Emily Moore Designs and had some PinkFresh ephemera from a charity crop so I decided to put them together to see what I came up with. What do you think?
Fall Feeling Card Base
Fold in half a piece of 8.5 x 11-inch white cardstock to create a side-fold A2 size card base. Cut a piece of 4.25 x 5.5-inch patterned paper and adhere with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to cover the front.
Building Card Layers
Let’s get the layers together to create the card panel! First, die-cut the Gift Card Holder with white cardstock and cut a piece of 2.25 x 3.5-inch patterned paper. Apply E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on the back of the patterned paper and slide in between the notches of the gift card holder. Then adhere the sentiment strip from the ephemera pack.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foils
Grab one of the smaller leaves from the 3D Foam Leaves and place it on the lower right corner notch. Cut a piece of lavender foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and wrinkle the piece with your hands to achieve a distressed look as pictured in the middle. Remove the top liner of the leaf and place the foil on top (color side facing you). Peel off to reveal the distressed design.
Next, add the solid bronze color foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and repeat the foiling step. When you peel off the foil, you will see the color covering all the areas where the adhesive was exposed (the white areas). My favorite foiling technique that gives it dimension and interest.
Lift Up the Elements
Cut about three strips of the Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. and add them to the back of the card panel. Then center the panel on the card front. Next, add two short strips to the back of a floral accent shape and place it above the sentiment on the card panel. I love this foam tape with its subtle lift of 1/32-inch (half of 1/16-inch).
Finishing Touches
On the upper left corner of the card panel, put one heart from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser and foil with the lavender color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Lastly, add the clear and light green bubbles on the card panel with Adhesive Dots Mini.
I hope you try unconventional colors for your seasonal cards! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
