It's our monthly Stampin' Friends blog hop today, and with paper this gorgeous, we had to have a blog hop theme meant to show it off! The designs in the All About Autumn DSP pack have a combination of photo realistic prints and metal inlay that need nothing else to create stunning projects. I created this home décor piece and coordinating card in less than 30 minutes!
Thank you for stopping by today, I know you'll be inspired by all of the beautiful papers in the projects created for our hop.
Starting with my framed home décor piece, I cut four of my favourite papers from the All About Autumn DSP pack into 2.75" squares. Each square was then matted on a piece of Early Espresso Cardstock, and then the four pieces were matted onto a piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock to create a centre focal image.
To fill my 8" square frame, I took a piece of Early Espresso Cardstock and heat embossed some leaves from the Magical Meadow Stamp Set in Copper Embossing Powder. I kept my stamping to the bottom half of my cardstock, so that it didn't overwhelm the gorgeous papers on display.
I took a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and drew lines with my Blends to make a fall rainbow backdrop for my lettering.
I die cut the word "fall" using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, spacing the dies evenly on my coloured cardstock. I used a piece of low tack tape to hold the dies in place, which also helped me keep them tidy so I could add the die cut letters to my card front--two for one!
The coordinating card uses an Early Espresso card base (4.25" x 11", scored at 5.5"), and another piece of that fabulous All About Autumn DSP (4.25" x 3.75").
I added a small border of Crushed Curry Cardstock to help define the edge of the paper, and then glued the letters saved from my framed collage to the bottom of the card front. I also added a small Cajun Craze Cardstock flag, from the Nested Essentials Dies, on Dimensionals, to my sentiment.
The inside of my card is a panel of Very Vanilla Cardstock with some more lines created with my Blends, and matted on a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock.
That's it for me, thank you again for stopping by today, and be sure to check out the rest of the hop by clicking on the links below!
