Radiant Sunflowers Double "Z" Fold

I just love this new, fall-themed, bundle - Radiant Sunflowers! The colors are all fall!! I spotted this double Z fold somewhere, and knew I had to give it a try. It is just stunning! It does require some coloring - for this stamp - but who doesn't love to color? And, you just use the color-palette guide on the back of the DSP! I love it! I think I'm ready for fall!! (autumn)

Measurements:

Cajun Craze: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE (base), 3 1/4" x 10:
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/2" x 3", 3" square (image), 1 1/4" x 2 1/2" (label)
Sunflower Fiels DSP (N): 2 1/2" x 4" (white sunflower print), 3" x 4 1/4" (Cajun Plaid)

To Make This Card:

For the base, create the "Z" by folding the Cajun Craze piece in half, and then fold the front back on itself with the outside cut edge meeting the fold. Crease well.
For the inside "Z", you'll need to score @ 2 3/4" - 5 1/2, fold into a "Z" and crease well.
Now, to finish the "base".
Add the larger, White piece to the inside, and the smaller DSP piece to the front flap. Set aside.
For the inside "Z", add the large DSP piece to the front, and the smaller, White piece to the "inside".
Next, stamp the image in Black into onto the square of White. Color with Blends, in the colors suggested on the DSP! Die cut with corresponding die from the Radiant Sunflowers Dies. I also added a little Wink of Stella to the flowers.
Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink onto piece of White. Die cut with rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies.
Let's put the card together before we assemble the front.
This sample fits a little differently than most double Z folds.
First determine where the front of the inside "Z" needs to land on the front of the base. I marked that lightly with a pencil. Place adhesive on the fold between the marks, and then on the outside, cut edge of the inside "Z". Adhere to card front.
For the other side, place adhesive behind the "Z" with the White layer. Fold the card into place, the inside of this "Z" will get tucked BEHIND the fold of the base. Looks weird, a little more difficult to adhere, but it is a true double "Z"!!
Now, to finish the front.
Add the "label" first, attaching it to the lower right corner, with very little "edge".
Add the flowers to the front with Dimensionals.
Finish with a small Mossy Meadow Gingham bow, and scattered new, Radiant Gems.

Clean & Simple Painted Pumpkin Card

So, I was looking for a card that used the Painted Pumpkin die cut pumpkins for my Senior Center gals. I knew that the die cut pumpkins with all the stems and vines would be a little difficult with their limited dexterity. So, I found a version of this card. I think it will work! I just love the unique colors of the Suite! The only thing I wish I had done, is incorporate that gorgeous gate....well, there's always next month!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet
Painted Patch DSP (N): 1 3/4" x 5" (Pool Party Plaid), 3 die cut pumpkins
Pool Party: 2" x 5 1/4"

To Make This Card:

Adhere the DSP to the Pool Party layer.
Then, wrap the Pool Party Ribbon around this piece and tie in a knot. Add to left side of card. (Making sure to leave enough room for your sentiment.)
Then, add 3 die cut "pumpkins" of your choice at the bottom, as shown.
Stamp the sentiment in Secret Sea ink.
Finish with scattered Painted Patch Dots.

Painted Pumpkins meets Radiant Sunflowers

I fell in love with this card designed by Mikaela Titheredge. I just LOVE the color combination she chose, as well as the stamp sets that she combined together! They are just perfect! Also, check out the background Embossing Folder. I totally missed these in the July OnLine Release! It's 3 awesome Mini Embossing Folders, called Seasonal Cheer!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4"
Crumb Cake: 3 1/2" x 4"
Daffodil Delight 2-Tone Cardstock: scraps
Pumpkin Pie 2-Tone Cardstock: scraps
Pecan Pie 2-Tone Carstock: scraps
Early Espresso: scraps
Old Olive: scraps
Granny Apple Green: scraps
Basic White 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3/4" x 3 3/4"

To Make This Card:

Run Pretty Peacock layer through the Leaves from the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders. Since it is a mini folder, you will need to run it through 2x (the patterns will not match).
Adhere to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Die cut "gate" from Crumb Cake. Remove the left "post" piece, then adhere to the card front center.
Die cut 2 Old Olive "Sunflower" stems and 1 in Granny Apple Green. Also, die cut 2 "vine" pieces from Old Olive. Set aside
Next, die cut 3 smaller "Sunflowers" from the 2-Tone Daffodil cardstock. I cut 2 "light" and 2 "dark", you choose which 3 you want on your card.
Die cut lg "pumpkin" from dark side of Pumpkin Pie, and the 2 smaller "pumpkins" from the lighter side.
Lastly, die cut 3 flower centers from Pecan Pie, and one "handle" and "stems" from Early Espresso.
Now, to assemble it all!
I started with the large pumpkin (w/stem) near the bottom of the gate, popped up with Dimensionals.
Then, tuck in 1 "sunflower" stem, for the lowest "sunflower. Then, I added another off to the left, and the last, actually looks like it's hanging in mid-air until you get the "sunflowers" on it!
Add the flower centers to the "sunflowers". I also added a little Wink of Stella to those centers. Then, add to the "stems" with Dimensionals.
Now, add the "medium" pumpkin to the left, and "small" pumpkin to the right (w/stems).
Finish the "arrangement" with the "vines", and "gate" "handle".
Lastly, stamp sentiment in Early Espresso, and add to card with Dimensional.
Finish the front with scattered Painted Patch Dots.
