Happy Monday Crafty Friends, and to my Canadian ones, Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m totally nuts about today’s card. The NUTS ABOUT YOU set is in my top 3 sets from the latest AUTUMN AFTERNOON Release. The squirrel images are so cute that I could wait to play with them again.
CARD DETAILS
To begin, I stamped out the images using BLACKOUT INK onto Neenah paper, this ink dries quickly and is perfect for Copic coloring. After the images were colored, I used the coordinating NUTS ABOUT YOU DIES to die cut them. All the stamps used come from the NUTS ABOUT YOU set.
The next thing I did was to use mask a piece of Bristol paper using the largest CIRCLE SPOTLIGHT STENCIL. I then used MUSTARD SEED, PICKED RASPBERRY, WILTED VIOLET, and BLUEPRINT SKETCH DISTRESS OXIDE inks to blend out the sunset sky for the scene using the BACKGROUND BLENDER BRUSHES.
Next, I die cut the panel using the largest DOUBLE STITCHED SQUARE DIES. To add the curved sentiment on the top, I placed the card panel in the MISTI and used the same CIRCLE SPOTLIGHT STENCIL to position the sentiment in the correct curved position, picking up the stamp with the Misti door, removing the stencil and stamping it directly in the right spot.
I then die cut the BRANCH AND LEAVES DIES. For the branch, I used a dark brown cardstock scrap, the leaves I die cut using white paper that I then used Copic markers to create some Fall leaf blends.
Now, all that is left to do is assemble the card with all the pieces. First I glued the Branch in place and then I added the leaves in place using foam tape. Next, I positioned the Squirrels on the Branch and also popped them up with foam tape. I then finished it off by gluing the hearts, leaves, and acorn.
As final finishing touches, I added GLOSSY ACCENTS and white gel pen details.
And there you have it, the cutest Nuts About You Fall Scene Card. This cutie would make a great Valentine’s, Anniversary or just an I love you card to someone you love.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!
