Hello Fall w/Stamp Simply

Hello, sweet friends.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit me today.  I'm sharing a sweet little folio that I created using several lovely products from Stamp Simply.  The extra good news is that many of the products I used on this project are ON SALE this week at Stamp Simply.  That's right.  You can SAVE on the Boho Fall Leaves Stamp Set, the Boho Pumpkins Stamp Set and the coordinating die-cuts from this lovely Autumn collection.  I just love the font of all the sweet sentiments found in these gorgeous sets.

For the base of this folio, I used a larger piece of scrap paper (8x10 I believe).  I scored it down the middle to create a center fold folio.  Then, you simply flip up the patterned paper to the inside creating the pockets.  I used some Carta Bella patterned papers (retired), but you could use any papers you may have on hand.  I also attached some pretty Ivory Lace on the border as well.  I colored the leaves, splattered them with paint, and I cut them using the Boho Fall Leaves Dies.

The lovely leaves with acorns and branch as well as the sentiments are found in the Boho Fall Leaves Stamp Set.  I cut the sentiment using a Fishtail Banner Die.  Isn't that font awesome?  This stamp set has so many great words that I decided to use them ALL to create the bookmark that's tucked inside.  I used various colors of ink to stamp all the words in this set and the Boho Pumpkins Stamp Set.

The metal tag and rusty safety pin are from Tim Holtz.  The bookmark is tied at the top with some burlap from the Burlap String Sampler.  Creating a folio is a quick and easy gift where you can tuck in some tags, bookmarks, a gift card or a hand-written note.  It's always easy and FUN when you create with Stamp Simply.  Don't forget to check out tis week's SALE on these wonderful items.  Thanks so much for visiting.

I'm playing along here:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Simon Says "Anything Goes" - Entry #1

A Cut Above - August: Anything Goes w/Optional Fall Flowers - I do have some Fall Flowers in the patterned papers, but I guess it's mostly Anything Goes using lots of great die-cuts (all listed and linked above).

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges - Challenge #2631 - Anything Goes Sponsored by Taylored Expressions.  How exciting.

New Boho Leaves at Stamp Simply

Fall is in the air, and the New Release continues at Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  Today and all this week, the new set we're featuring is the gorgeous new Boho Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating Boho Fall Leaves Dies.  There are so many different ways you can use this amazing new set, and I'm sure having fun making cards with it.

I used dark wood patterned paper for my base which is found in the Craft Consortium Wood Textures 6x6 Paper Pad.  The next layer is kraft cardstock where I stamped the oak leaves and acorns image in dark brown ink to create my background.  Next, I used a piece of cream cardstock where I stamped ALL the awesome sentiments/words found in the new Boho Fall Leaves Stamp Set.

I stamped the oak leaves and acorns image found in the new Boho Fall Leaves Stamp Set and I colored the image with my Copics.  Yikes!  I need to take some serious coloring lessons.  I added some bundled Brown Burlap String, Gold Burlap String and some Double Head Stamens to add some texture and depth to match the height of the sentiment paper which was raised with 3-D Foam Tabs.

If you stop by the Stamp Simply Blog each day, you'll find so much fabulous inspiration using the New Release sets and all the other fabulous Stamp Simply products.  Thanks so much for visiting me here today, and for the kind comments you leave for me.  Have a wonderful week.

I'm sharing my card here in these awesome challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Lots of Layers" - I used several (four in fact) layers of paper on my card.

The Paper Funday Challenge Blog - Challenge #67 July - Anything Goes/Optional Twist: Critter Crazy.  I didn't use the twist this time.

Blessings,

Karen
