Gathering Together 2 for 1



Let's make these cards! Gather your supplies:

1. Crushed Curry cardstock--card bases are 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side and folded in half
2. Basic White cardstock--scraps or a piece 8 1/2" by 2" for the sentiment and leaves/acorn for the first card, for the inside pieces 3 3/4" by 5". 1/2" scrap by about 3" for the sentiment on the second card
3. Cajun Craze cardstock--4 3/8" by 5 3/8"
4. Gathering Together DSP--for each card 4" by 5 1/4", second piece 1 1/4" by 5" for the first card
5. Stamp Set--Gathering Moments, Beautiful Butterflies
6. Dies--Gathering Moments
7. Ink--Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Pecan Pie
8. Old Olive & Espresso Linen Thread
9. Linen Thread
10. Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder
11. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Start by using the large leaf dies and cut it at an angle on the Cajun Craze cardstock. Fold the card base in half on the score line. Attach the plaid piece of DSP to the card front. Take the 1 1/4" by 5" piece and flag the ends and attach that in the middle. Attach the Cajun Craze leaf on top of that with Dimensionals.


Let's do some stamping now. Stamp the leaves and cut them out with the dies--the largest in Cajun Craze, the other two in Crushed Curry and Old Olive and the acorn in Pecan Pie.  Gather them together how you'd like and then attach to the bottom of the big leaf. Tie a large bow with the Old Olive & Espresso Linen Thread and attach with a Mini Glue dot. Attach the acorn on top with a Dimensional.

Stamp the sentiment with Old Olive and fussy cut it out. Attach it with Dimensionals on the right side and a bit of glue on the left side where it overlaps the leaf.

  

Attach the large Basic White piece to the inside (I didn't stamp on that but you could stamp a leaf or two.

For the second card, run the other part of the Cajun Craze cardstock through your Cut and Emboss machine inside the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. Attach the piece of DSP behind it. Wrap the Linen Thread twice around and tie a bow. Attach this to the card base.


Stamp the sentiment (from Beautiful Butterflies) in Crushed Curry on the 1/2" piece of Basic White. Slant cut the ends and attach it with Dimensionals. 



For the inside, Stamp the sentiment (from Beautiful Butterflies) in Crushed Curry on the 3 3/4" by 5" piece of Basic White and attach to the inside of the card.
