Hello Harvest Stack, Cut, & Shuffle

My awesomely creative downline, Robin Armbrecht, did a video on this concept that I had been wanting to try for some time! I used the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest DSP to create these cards.  This is so fun, with so many possibilities!! Grab some DSP or create your own, and get to Stacking, Cutting, and Shuffling!






Measurements:  

  • 4 Card bases: 1/2 sheet (can be all the same or a variety)
  • 4 Layers of Cardstock: 4" x 5 1/4" (usually all the same)
  • 4 Layers to Cut: 3 ¾” x 5” (DSP, and/or Cardstock) This is what you’ll STACK, CUT, & SHUFFLE.
To Make This Card:
  • Stack all the top layers together.·         
  • Make the first cut 1 ¼” from right side.  This makes 2 “piles”.
  • Turn the 2 piles 90° (horizontally) and make another cut at 1 ¼” from the right side. Take care to keep the pieces in order in each pile.·         
  • Lay stacks of pieces out the way that they will be finished on the card.·         
  • Start with the largest piece, and leave the stack as is.  Go to the stack to the left, and shuffle the top one to the bottom, go to the next stack and shuffle 2 to the bottom, go to the last stack and bring the bottom piece to the top.  You’ve now accomplished “the shuffle”!!·        
  • Start gluing the pieces to the card layers, as shown. This version, the pieces are touching each other, with a 1/8” outside border.·        
  • Continue until all 4 layers are created.·        
  • Next, continue with your “focal point”. Decide on your “theme” and use this for your “focal point”.·         
  • I usually try to mount this onto a decoratively shaped “base layer”.·         
  • Next add accents, or embellishment pieces.·        
  • And finish with a “message”.·         
  • VoilĂ  you’re done!

Candy Corn Gnome

I love gnomes, and when I saw a version of this darling "candy corn" gnome I just knew I had to try it!  I LOVE how it turned out!


Measurements:  

  • Pumpkin Pie: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/4" x 5", 2 1/2" square (pumpkin), scraps
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/4" x 4 3/4", scraps
  • Crushed Curry: scraps
To Make This Card:
  • Attach larger, White piece to folded Pumpkin Pie card.
  • Cut Pumpkin Pie layer with Deckled Rectangle Die.  Also cut medium White piece with smaller Deckled Rectangle Die. Layer together, and attach to card
  • Stamp "pumpkin" from Hello Harvest in Pumpkin Pie ink onto PUmpkin Pie cardstock.  Cut out with corresponding die.
  • Die cut "beard" and one hat from White cardstock.
  • Die cut "nose", "feet", and "hat" from Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
  • Die cut "hat" from Crushed Curry cardstock.
  • Attach Crushed Curry "hat" to the "beard" where shown on die cut.  Add "nose" and "feet".
  • Using the Crushed Curry "base" lay the Pumpkin Pie "hat" on top and determine where to trim this piece so it is about 1/8" above the nose.  Cut with snips and attach to "hat".
  • Repeat with the white piece, leaving around 3/8" of the Pumpkin strip showing.  Note: there are other ways to do attempt this, I felt that this was the easiest.
  • Arrange "pumpkin" and assembled "gnome" onto card, as desired.  I attached the "pumpkin" flat, and the "gnome" popped up with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with Iridescent Pearls colored with dk Pumpkin Pie Blend, and a bow from colored (with Pumpkin Pie Blend) Crinkled White Seam Binding.

  • Gingham Cottage (N): 4" square
  • Regals 6x6 DSP Pack: 1" x 4"
  • So Saffron: 3" square
  • Basic White: 4" square (inside), scraps (for images)
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Pumpkin Pie card in half. Score the front flap 1 1/4" from fold.  Crease well.
  • Attach this 1 1/4" to card with Tear Tape.

  • To assemble, flip over "sunflowers" and attach to "pumpkin" matching "opening" of "sunflowers" to "stem" of  "pumpkin.  Add "gnome" over "sunflowers" with Dimensionals.  This will cover some of the sunflowers. Note: before glueing to So Saffron square, make sure everything fits!
  • Attach 1" DSP strip to "binding".
  • Fold ribbon in half and tie in an overhand knot.  Attach to "binding" with Mini Glue Dot.
