Amber Autumn Acorn Card

This is a variation of a card that I saw. The original card was actually an accordion fold using a long piece of DSP! Neat effect, but not practical for a class, when I can only get 2 cards out of a sheet of DSP, or 4 cards from a package! (Ok, for you though!) So, I modified the fold and created it to go on a trimmed base. Same look, less DSP!! I really do love the layout of this card! I was wanting to create a card using the "acorns" from the Amber Autumn Bundle! This one is just perfect! We did this in my Senior Center class this week...and they loved it!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 1/2 sheet
Autumn Toile DSP (N) (MC): 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 4 1/4" (inside) - (Espresso Trees)
Very Vanilla: 3 1/2" square (circle), 3" x 4 1/4" (inside), scrap (image)
Crumb Cake: 1" x 3"

To Make this Card:

Fold Mossy Meadow card base in half and remove 1" from the front. You can toss this piece.
Take one of the DSP pieces and score at 1". Fold back and secure. Adhere to the front flap of folded Mossy Meadow card.
Attach the other piece of DSP to the inside.
Next, add the Vanilla rectangle to the inside. Yes, about 1/2" will show from the front! I like this contrast!
Stamp acorn image in Early Espresso ink onto scrap of Vanilla. Color with Blends, and die cut with corresponding die.
Next, die cut circle from Spotlight on Nature dies.
Add "acorns" to circle, just so all edges touch the outside cut edges of the circle.
Adhere to front of card as shown. I placed it so some of the cut parts of the circle show through the back Espresso color.
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto Crumb Cake label. Cut the ends at an angle, if desired. Adhere to circle with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with strip of DSP.
Finish outside with Early Espresso linen thread and scattered Streaked Dots.
