Fall & Coffee- The Perfect Pairing for Cozy Vibes. We love this new Cozy Chapters set and think it’s perfect for your Autumn cards!
Our designer Lisa said, “I’m in love with the new Cozy Chapters stamps and dies and although there is a whole fabulous sentiment set for book lovers, you can use so many other sentiments along with these beautiful images!” We love how this project turned out-that stenciled background is the perfect backdrop to this encouraging java-inspired card for fall. Check out these steps to recreate this gorgeous card!
Steps to recreate this card:
- I started by die cutting a gel print in autumn colors using the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.
- Next I used the 4308 Flourish 6×6 Stencil and the Pumpkin Color Fuse Ink from the Color Fuse #2 Set and blended the ink over the entire card front through the stencil.
- Without lifting the stencil, I added some glitter past in orange with gold glitter in it to part of the card… starting at the corner and fanning out but fading about 2/3 of the way.
- Then I removed the stencil and set the background aside to dry.
- Sometimes I want a frame that’s simple and a specific size and if I don’t have it, it’s easy to create one using some of the nesting die sets from the shop. For this one, I took a scalloped circle from the 5029d Nested Circle Scallop Nested Die Set and then one small enough to fit inside of it and create a frame the width I wanted from the 5002d Classic Nested Circle Dies and nested them together on a piece of orange glitter paper, taping them in place with Pixie Tape and die cutting them together.
- I added the frame to the card front using foam tape strips and then arranged my stamped, cut and colored images from Cozy Chapters in and around it.
- Finally, a sentiment from the new 37042 Coffee First 4×6 Stamp Set was perfect for the image that includes a coffee cup! It was stamped, trimmed and popped up onto the card.
