Global Stamping Friends November Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the November GSF Blog Hop!

This month our theme is Thanks A Bunch. With Thanksgiving only 3 weeks away it's a good reminder to think on the things we are grateful for. Family being the top of my list. And then my friends and my customers. And of course all of the lovely people who follow my social media.

Today I am sharing a fun-fold card. This one is called a Back Fold. The card base is 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". Scored on the long side at 1" & 4 1/4". This scoring gives you a 3 1/4" card base front. The 1" area on the right side  will be the opening mechanism or the back fold. 

My card front is Basic White Cardstock. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and lots of ink colors applied with a Small Blending Brush to create a what is essentially Homemade Designer Series Paper. I started with a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White. After coloring this I cut this down to 2 3/4" x 5" for the card front and a 1/2" x 5"  for the 1" mechanism on the right. These were matted with  a Copper Metallic & Mossy Meadow sheet from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP). I adhered these to the card base with Liquid Glue. The inside layer is Basic White - 3" x 5 1/4", Trimmed with a 1/2" x 2 3/4" strip. the focal point is an Old Olive Cardstock oak leaf that has been embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (I spritzed the cardstock with water before embossing). The stem is die cut from the All About Autumn SDSP. I had die cut a Stylish Shapes Circle (the largest) on Old Olive Cardstock. And a Basic White 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" Circle using a retired die. I speckled the Basic White Circle and the handmade DSP with Pecan Pie and Clear Wink of Stella. The sentiment has been stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink on an Autumn Leaves Die cut. I added a few Copper Clay 2023-2025 In Color Dots. 

Now it is time to see what Kimberley has for Thanks a Bunch inspiration.
