Burnished Lustrous Leaves

I hadn't used the masks that come with the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies, and they are so gorgeous, that I needed to give them a go! Thankfully, Patty Bennett just did a video suggesting color combinations! So, I tried several of her suggestions. This one is probably my favorite! I then combined several other layouts to create my own! I love how it turned out! We'll be doing this one in my monthly class next week!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Very Vanilla: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1/4 sheet for burnishing, 3" square (foiled circle)
Autumn Opulence DSP (N) (OE): 1 7/8" x 4", scraps (Pecan Pie check)

To Make This Card:

Begin my creating the "burnished" leaves, first!
Start with the 1/4 sheet of Vanilla cardstock, and mask #1, along with Golden Glow ink and a large Blending Brush. Before you remove the mask, add a little Crisp Canteloupe ink to this mask, as well.
Next, remove mask #1 and add mask #2. Add the next color, which is Timid Tiger.
Continue with mask #3 and Cajun Craze ink, and finish with #4 - the stems, which are Pecan Pie.
Before cutting out, Patty shared an awesome technique - you can emboss with the foiling dies! Use plates #1 & #2, add the IMPRESSIONS PLATE (mat), the 1/4 sheet with the colored leaves, right side up, the foiling die, and then one plate #3. Run it through the Cutting, Stamp, and Emboss Machine, and voila - they are embossed!
Now, you can die cut with the corresponding die! (Really neat, huh!) You've gotta try this one!
Finish the leaves with a little Wink of Stella.
Foil the smallest circle from the Framed and Fabulous bundle, in copper foil. Die cut with coordinating die. Stamp sentiment from the bundle in Pecan Pie ink.
Next, emboss one of the Vanilla layers with the new, Softly Woven Embossing folder.
Adhere to folded Pecan Pie card base.
Add the Pecan Pie DSP to the bottom of the card, over the Vanilla piece.
Layer the foiled circle where desired, and arrange the leaves around the circle as shown, then add circle with Dimensionals.
Finish front with small bow onto the circle (retired ribbon combo), and scattered copper Metallic Gems.
Finish the inside with the other Vanilla layer, and leaves die cut from the DSP using the smaller leaves in the Lustrous Leaves Bundle!

Interesting Tuck Fold Sunflower Card

I received this swap from a demo at the event in Kanab. I think her name was Linda, from Las Vegas. Regardless, I love the triangle piece to tuck the front under. So unique! I am doing this with my "advanced" Senior class AND my monthly October Class!

Measurements:

Early Espresso: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 2 3/4" x 4" (front), 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" (inside), 2 1/4" square (cut in half)
Basic White: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" (front), 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" (inside), scraps
Sunflower Fields DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Cajun check); 2 3/4" x 4", 2" square - cut in half (white print)

To Make This Card:

Remove 2 1/2" from front of folded Early Espresso card.
Adhere Cajun Check DSP to inside of card, and White Print to front flap.
Next, round all the corners of the White and Espresso rectangles with your favorite corner rounder. Layer together.
Adhere the White DSP Triangle to the Espresso Triangle. Place 1/8" Tear & Tape along long side of Triangle. Remove backing and adhere to center of back flap.
Next, take the larger layered rectangles and adhere left half to the front flap, making sure it will tuck under the triangle. Basically, it is centered on the front of the card.
Stamp the single "sunflower" and 3 "leaves" in Black ink. Color with Blends. Die cut with corresponding dies.
Now, take 6 1/2" of Mossy Meadow & Vanilla Gingham ribbon, loop as shown, and adhere to upper left corner of labels.
Arrange the 3 "leaves" behind the "sunflower", then adhere over ribbon with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso on front and inside.
Finish with scattered Radiant Gems.

Oh My Fright Surprise Pop Up Card

I am just loving this fold! This idea was inspired by France Martin i.e. Frenchie! I think it will be a fun one for club this month, so I gave it a try. I love how this turned out. The DSP with this suite is just so much fun! It also uses the Spooktacular DSP from the July Online Exclusives! How cute!

Measurements:

Pumpkin Pie: 1/2 sheet, 1 1/2" x 5" (mechanism), 1 1/4" x 3"
Basic Black: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", 4" x 4" (inside), 1 1/4" x 3", scraps
Basic White: scraps
Very Vanilla: 4" x 4 3/8" (inside)
Frightfully Fun DSP (N) (OE): 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (front), 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" (inside) - (tree border)
Spooktacular DSP (N) (OE): 3 7/8" square, continue pattern for 1 1/8" onto bottom

To Make This Card:

Let's create the Pop Up Mechanism first.
Take the 1 1/2" x 5" mechanism piece and score @ 1/2" the full length of the strip.
Along that score line, measure in 1" from the left edge and make a mark (see above).
Along the top edge, measure in 2" from the left edge and make a mark.
From the top-left corner, score a diagonal line down to the 1" mark.
From the 2" mark at the top, score a daigonal line down to that same, 1" mark. These two diagonals form a "V" meeting at the point on the score line.
Cut off the bottom-left corner (see above) - the small rectangle below the score line and to the left of the 1" mark. (Shown in purple above).
Fold along the scored lines: the "V" folds inward, creating the pop-up mechanism.
To create the pop-up inside, place adhesive onto the outside "triangle", with this space folded up. Adhere to "inside" of card with the "side" edge following the top edge of the inside of the card, and the "top" edge of the strip following the center crease of the card.
Next, place adhesive on the long 1/2" edge. Close card, with angles into place and 1/2" strip will adhere to the inside back of the card, following the top cut edge of the card..
Voila! Check to make sure the "mechanism" pops.
To finish the rest of the inside, adhere the printed "face" to the Black square, then add to the 1/2" sticking up from the mechanism. Note: don't adhere it to close the the center fold of the card.
The Vanilla piece gets adhered below, and I added the "continuation" to the top of the bottom piece, continuing the fun image.
On the inside left side, I added a contrasting, but coordinating piece of DSP, along with a die cut bat.
Now, for the front. Adhere the Basic Black layer. To that, add the DSP.
Next, stamp sentiment in black ink onto strip of Pumpkin Pie. Die cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Also, die cut the Black layer from the same die.
Overlap the 2 "banners" to create one label. Then, trim the Pumpkin Pie layer, if desired (as shown).
Die cut the "ghost" with the cut out eyes. Place a little black behind them. then add to front with Dimensionals.
Add remaining 2 "bats", as well as Bat, Ghost and Dots embellishments.
