Welcome Noel Mounted Double Gate Fold

This gorgeous card was designed by Mary Deatherage. It's just beautiful, as is this entire Neutral Noel Suite! For this idea, she used the Neutral Noel DSP and Metal Effects Specialty Paper, along with those darling Welcome Noel "houses" and greenery from the Noel Tidings bundle. Lots of pieces, but definitely worth the effort!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", scrap
Basic Beige 2-Tone Cardstock: 4 1/8" x 5 1/2" (base)
Basic Beige: 2" x 3 1/4" (arch)
Basic White: 3 7/8" x 4" (inside layer), 1/4 sheet
Metal Effects Specialty Paper (N): 2 pcs @ 1" x 4 1/8", 15 "berries"
Neutral Noel DSP (N): 4 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 4" (brocade)

To Make This Card:

Emboss the 2 Metal Effects Specialty Paper strips with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder.
Adhere these to the left & right of the Mossy Meadow "postcard" base, leaving a small edge showing.
Score the Basic Beige 2-Tone base @ 2" and 4" from each end. Fold the 2 outside score lines as "mountain" folds, and the 2 inner score lines as "valley" fold.
Adhere the 4 DSP pieces to these 4 gate panels.
On the White inside layer, stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink, and the pine bough in stamped off Mossy Meadow ink. Adhere to inside of card "base".
Now, for all the die cutting!
First, cut the 3rd from the smallest arch from the Everyday Arches in Basic Beige. Run through the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Also, die cut one "wreath" from Mossy Meadow cardstock. Add to larger house!
Next, stamp the following: in Pecan Pie ink - Large House, 3 "berry sprigs", Sentiment. In Crumb Cake ink - Small House. In Mossy Meadow ink: 3 "pine boughs"; Large Pine Tree. Die cut all of these from corresponding dies.
Also, die cut approx 15 "berries" from the Metal Effects Specialty Paper scraps.
First, adhere the "berries" to the "sprigs". Set aside to dry.
Now, to arrange all the pieces! This all gets placed on the Basic Beige Arch.
Begin with the Large Pine Tree. Adhere near the upper left corner with Liquid Glue.
Next, add one "berry sprig" and one "pine sprig" over the tree. (See close up).
Now, add one "berry sprig" and one "Pine sprig" to the right of the "tree". (I rearranged the "berries" as needed. Why hide them!
Next, add the large house with Dimensionals, and the smaller house over and to the left, also with Dimensionals. Then, tuck the remaining "sprigs" under smaller house, trimming as necessary.
Finish with sentiment.
Now, take the arch and adhere the LEFT side only to the front, left "gate".
Finish front with small Gold Dot to the wreath, and 3 Gold Dots to the inside.

Arched Welcome Noel

I was looking for a project using Welcome Noel Bundle, that didn't have so many pieces to "arrange"! I came across this awesome card created by Yvonne from Prairie Designs. I had to do a little adjusting as I think she is from Australia (love their accent and g'day), and their dimensions a bit different! Regardless, I think my version came out really nice! It utilized the Everyday Arches as and opening and a "frame" along with a center of vellum. The die cut houses have gold foil in the "windows". All white, except for the touches of gold, ahd the green trees. (I used Mossy Meadow for this one, I think I might try Peaceful Pine for the next!) We'll be doing this one in my class this week.

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 3 5/8" x 5" (arch frame & houses), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside) scraps
Vellum: 3 5/8" x 5"
Gold Foil Cardstock: scraps
Gold Hot Foil

To Make This Card:

Fold Thick White card base in half. Die cut 5th from largest arch from front of card, as shown. Keep the center.
Take the basic White piece for the arches (the smaller piece) and using the 3rd and 5th largest arches, die cut an arched "frame".
Also die cut an arch using the 3rd largest arch, from vellum.
Glue the vellum to the wrong side of the arched "frame".
Next, stamp 2 "trees" in Peaceful Pine ink onto arch centers. Die cut with corresponding dies.
Now, die cut the 3 "houses" from the remaining centers and scraps. You'll need to use both parts of the die to the the outside cut, and the details included.
Take scraps of gold foil and place behind the windows, holding in place with Mini Dimensionals.
Next, add the "arch" to the opening in the card front with MIni Dimensionals.
Add the taller house to the lower right corner, then add the larger tree, also with Mini Dimensionals.
Continue with the smaller tree, longer house, and small house. Overlapping to create interest.
The sentiment is Gold Foiled from the Hot Foiled Magical Christmas Die. Take your pick, there are many to choose from!
Finish the front with Gold Dots.
For the inside, stamp a 3-generation Pine Tree in Peaceful Pine ink, then add to inside.

Elegant Leaves Clean & Simple Card

I just love fall colors! I found this card that I thought would be perfect for my Senior Center Gals! It uses the often missed Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders, with a touch of Glow of Harvest DSP - the August POTM. It's really gorgeous IRL!

Measurements:

Golden Glow (N): 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Very Vanilla: 1/2 sheet, 2 3/4" x 4", 5/8" strip
Cajun Craze 2-Tone Cardstock: 1 1/2" x 4 1/2", 3 1/2" x 4 5/8"
Glow of Harvest DSP (POTM): 3 3/8" x 4 1/2", 1/2" strip

To Make This Card:

Run the Golden Glow layer through the "leaves" embossing folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders, twice. (this is a mini folder)
Also, emboss the Cajun Craze 2-Tone strip, dark side up.
Adhere the Golden Glow layer to the folded Very Vanilla card base.
Next, adhere the DSP piece to the lighter side of the Cajun Craze 2-Tone cardstock, and then attach to the front of the card.
Now, take the embossed 2-Tone strip, and lightly sand it, revealing the white core underneath, and then add to card front, as shown.
Next, stamp solid "leaf" stamp in Golden Glow ink onto piece of Very Vanilla. Then, stamp "detail" in Cajun Craze on top. Die cut with corresponding die. Then, add some Wink of Stella.
Add this to front of card with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment of your choice in Cajun Craze ink onto strip of Very Vanilla. Add to card with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with strip of DSP.
Finish front with Golden Glow pearls, Antique Pearls colored with a dark Cajun Craze ink, and Linen Thread bow.
