Hi there crafty friends! It's the most wonderful time of the year...STAMPtember® and I am thrilled to be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog party to celebrate. Hope you will go take a look around at all the designers joining the party to celebrate this amazing new release. Today I have a trio of cards for you using the new products I received from Simon, and they all use the new Detail Elm Leaves die. Before we get to the cards, I want to point out the special code up above for a fun shopping discount good today while supplies last! Make sure you visit the other blogs joining the party because there are a bunch of different codes, each with a different offer!
For my first card, I created a 'frame' of fall leaves using the Detail Elm Leaves die. I die cut a bunch of the leaves and colored them with Distress Ink Reinkers in Tattered Rose, Fossilized Amber, Crackling Campfire and Seedless Preserves. I paired it with the Detail Petal Plate wafer die and a sentiment from the CZ Design Miss You Missy set on a panel of Pale Rose cardstock.
For my second card, I also cut a bunch of leaves using the Detail Elm Leaves die and adhered them to a Distress Watercolor card stock panel and trimmed off the excess. I sprayed the panel with water using a Distress Sprayer and then added layers of Distress Spray Stain in Crackling Campfire, Gathered Twigs and Peacock Feathers. Then I splattered the panel with Distress Mica Spray in Antiqued Bronze. I added a sentiment from the Greetings Mix 2 stamp set that I embossed with Gold Embossing powder and layered onto a vellum circle.
For my final card, I was really feeling fall and used the Old Letter Background to make a background paper for my card. I adhered that to a panel that I had inked with Distress Spray Stains and added a Tiny Clip to the outside. I finished the panel by cutting out the Detail Elm Leaves and embossing them in Crackling Campfire and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glaze, it makes them look like a shiny embellishment. Then I added a sentiment from the new Tiny Words Support stamps. I adhered the layered panel to a piece of Woodgrain Cardstock.
If you liked these creations and aren't following me over on Instagram @cheiron I'd love to see you there too! Be sure to stop around at all the stops on the Blog Party today for even more inspiration...there are so many wonderful stamps and dies to explore!

Posted by: Beth Myers | September 02, 2020 at 02:42 PM
I LOVE these cards. In the first card, I love the way you echoed the pierced pattern in the background and on the leaves. I love the earthy, autumn color scheme and textures you have combined in the other cards.
