Detailed Dies from Fond of Autumn Bundle

The Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn bundle is perhaps the most versatile bundle Stampin’ Up! has released in a long time! I just love all of the different features and possibilities! If you joined me for my video tutorial a couple weeks ago, you saw that first hand! (don’t worry.. replay is below). I’ve used the theme of Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze for these two cards today.

The card above features the detailed die cut out of the front flap of this card, with a piece of Rings of Love designer paper slipped behind the opening to add amazing fall colors.

Tip 1:

Use your Stampin’ Blends markers to customize the color of the Textural Elements!

Tip 2:

I found it best to use this detailed die UPSIDE DOWN when die cutting cardstock.

Card #2 features gorgeous shimmery paper in the background and custom colored Gold & Vanilla ribbon!

Tip 3:

Give your ribbon a custom color by running a Stampin’ Blends marker over it!

I just love this sparkly background from the new Metallic & Shimmer pack.. isn’t the paper amazing with all the pretty spots? As I mentioned in the video, I did slip a piece of vellum behind the die cut just to give a soft look between the die and the background paper. I did die cut the metallic paper with the stitched rectangle die. You could also use the deckled rectangle dies or simply cut a rectangle.
