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.

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.
