Light The Year - Fall Card
The new Holiday (September through December) Mini catalog is launching next week for everyone, and I couldn’t be more excited to share a beautiful fall themed card project with you. There wasn’t a ton of fall stamp and die sets this year in the catalog but I’m told there is more to come online with Stampin’ Up! Very soon.
Measurements:
· Base of card in Basic Beige, folded 4 ¼ x 5 ½, unfolded 11 x 4 ¼ , scored in the middle at 5 ½
· Layer 1 – early espresso, cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
· Layer 2 – gold foil specialty card stock, cut to 4 x 5 ¼

Techniques:
· Lanterns were made using window sheets and the brown saddle StazOn and then embellished with copper enamel effects drops.
· Leaves were made by taking very vanilla card stock, and spraying one sheet with blackberry bliss, crushed curry, and cajun craze. Take another sheet of very vanilla card stock, and spray crushed curry and mossy meadow. Die cut the leaves using the Autumn Expressions and Encircled in Nature dies.
· Sentiment on the front was stamped and die cut from the Wonderful Thoughts set, used early espresso.
· Sentiment on the inside was stamped with the Autumn Expressions in Early Espresso and then the leaf was brushed with crushed curry and cajun craze.
