I have two fall themed cards to share with you today. They both feature Lisa Johnson's new Out on a Limb stamp set and Die-namics, as well as a few other new items. Before I start taking about those two items, lets talk about the two new backgrounds that I used on this first card, the Mini Chicken Wire Background and the Burlap Background. WOW! I LOVE these two new stamps. You will be seeing a lot of them in the near future. :)
On to the fabulous tree! I used the Out on a Limb Die-namics and Chocolate Brown and Jellybean Green card stock to create the tree. I placed the tree trunk on the Kraft card stock and I used a template to place the leaves. For the template, I cut out the leaves from a piece of scrap card stock. I'll keep the template with this die so I can use it over and over again.
I stamped a sentiment from the Out on a Limb stamp set onto a Fishtail Flag and I secured it with a Brick Red Button and a piece of Hemp Cord.
I replicated the same overall design on the inside of the card. Have I mentioned how much I love that Mini Chicken Wire Background yet?
My second card features the new Blueprints 19 Die-namics as well as the Out on a Limb stamp set and Die-namics. This new set of blueprints is just fabulous to work with! There are so many things you can do with that curved centre piece. For this card, I used the outside frame.
The Out on a Limb stamp set and Die-namics includes these fun circle shapes, as well as the leaves. There are a number of different patterns on the circle stamps so you can create a tree that is unique to you! I love having so many options with one set. I stamped my circles on Brick Red and Safety Orange card stock.
I kept the inside of the card fairly simple. I stamped the background with the Burlap Background stamp. The pattern is subtle enough that you can easily write over top of it. I finished it off with one of the sentiments from the Out on a Limb stamp set.
Thanks again for joining me today. Be sure to check out the MFT Blog to see all the fabulous creations the Design Team has to share with you today.
