One Sheet Wonder with Gorgeous Leaves

It is SIMPLE Saturday!
Check out these gorgeous cards!
 
I did another One Sheet Wonder using the 
'Gorgeous Leaves' stamp set!

I LOVE FALL!
And I think these cards turned out super cute.
They are clean & simple, yet sooooo pretty!
 
Look below to see how I did this.......
 1.  I stamped the various leaves randomly down the center of this
8 1/2 x 11" Basic White card stock- 
going both vertically & horizontally.
2.  I cut this in half- at 5 1/2" horizontally & 4 1/4" vertically.
3.  I then trimmed 1/2" off of one of the 4 1/4" ends & 1/2" off of one of the 5 1/2" ends.
I trimmed off of the edges that had the most WHITE space.   
(DO NOT TRIM OFF THE SIDES that have the more dense leaf images.)
4.  The White piece of card stock with the leaf images needed to 
measure 3 3/4 x 5" for the exact same layout on my cards shown here.
I stamped the leaves in these colors-
Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
The tiny cluster of leaves are stamped in Soft Suede.
And the splatters is stamped in Crumb Cake.
These words are from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' stamp set.
I made this card into a fun Z fold.
The base of this card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
to make the Z fold.
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp sets:  'Gorgeous Leaves' & 'Heartfelt Wishes'
card stock:
  • Crumb Cake- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"- fold into a Z for card base
  • Old Olive- 4 x 5 1/4"

  • Basic White- 3 7/8 x 5 1/8"- for inside of card
inks:  Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake

Eden's Garden

WOW!
Check out these cards I made with the Eden's Garden Suite!
 
 
I think that the Stitched Greenery Die & the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper
go so great with this Ever Eden Specialty DSP!
If you look closely you can see that I used the Stitched Greenery Die
on the whole Evening Evergreen card front!
How did I do this?
I die cut the vine image I used to layer behind the words.
I didn't end up using it as just an outline image-
I used it as a whole image.
 So I put the center piece that should be cut out, 
back into the die.
 I  used Tear & Tape to hold it in place.
I then took my pokey from my Take Your Pick Tool
& removed this from the die, keeping it all together in one piece!
AND this is what it looks like!
Cool huh!

Both of the cards on today's post are exactly the same, 
except I changed the DSP pattern on them.
This one has a White background based DSP strips.
I think that the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper strip just adds that special bling to the card!
The DSP strips on this card are Soft Succulent based.
 I just LOVE this card & these words!
I think it is very elegant.
 Which card do you like better?
This or That?

Here are the measurements & supplies.
stamp set:  Eden's Garden
card stock:
  • Evening Evergreen- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
  • Soft Succulent- 4 1/4"x 5 1/2"- stamp flowery image diagonally onto this going from the lower left corner to the top right corner & then die cut using the scalloped rectangle
  • Gold Metallic Specialty Paper- 1 x 4 3/4"
  • Evening Evergreen- 4" strip- die cut rectangle vine & use Tear & Tape to hold the center piece into this
  • Basic White- 2" strip- stamp words & die cut using the Hippo & Friends Dies
  • Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

Eden's Garden cards & box

Check out my one sheet wonder cards I made using the 
NEW Eden's Garden stamp set!
I also made a little box to hold all of these cards too!
 
How did I do this?
1.  I just stamped in the center of a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Basic White card stock, doing vertically & then horizontally.
 
2. I then cut this into 1/2 at 4 1/4" & then at 5 1/2".  That gave me 4 separate pieces that all measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".
3.  I then cut 1/2" off of each of the outside edges on all 4 sides of each of these rectangles.  When they are trimmed down they will each measure- 3 3/4 x 5".
 So what do you think?
Neat huh!

Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  Eden's Garden
card stock:
  • Evening Evergreen- Vertical= 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; Horizontal= 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base

  • Basic White- 3 3/4 x 5"- this is piece that has leaves/vines/berries stamped onto it

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Layering Circle Dies; Tailored Tag Punch; Labely Me Lovely Punch; 2021-2023 In Color Gems (Evening Evergreen); Soft Succulent Ribbon; dimensionals; glue dots

I also made a little box that will hold all 4 of these cards, plus the envelopes!
Isn't it CUTE!
I just wrapped a 1 x 12" pieces of DSP around the box
& decorated it using the Seasonal Label Dies.
 Here is the pattern if you want to make this box.
  • Soft Succulent CS- 8 1/2 x 11"-score @ 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 7 3/4" & 8 1/4".
  • Turn & score at 1/2", 1", 7" & 7 1/2".
  • Then CUT OUT the 4 corners on the top & bottom both as shown by the shaded areas.
  • Add Tear & Tape along the one edge & bottom edge & fold.
NOTE:  The top flap is the little longer end
& this is shown in the pattern on the bottom side. 
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I hope you come again.

Happy Stamping!

Snowflake Panel Spanner card

 Check out this gorgeous Spanner Panel card!
It is a totally Susie card & I love the way it turned out!

I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP.
WOW HUH!
The print on this DSP is pine trees & splotches.  
I thought that it was a great wintery looking print
& perfect for this card.
 
Check out the stitching detail on the snowflake too!
This is what the card looks like standing up.
Notice how the card front is split in the center & 
has the card stock bar across it to hold it together.
There is a card stock bar on the front & 
then another one directly over it on the back side too.
This gives it a sturdy support!
