My mom was recently here, and as she is also a cardmaker, we decided to spend some quality time together making some, well, CARDS. And, as it is autumn, what better theme to focus on? Here’s what we came up with . . .

Mom and Fall Cards

To make them, you will need:

Autumn-colored cardstock cut to 4.5 by 12 inches, folded in half to make card

tree stamp

“happy fall” stamp

Embossable ink pad, brown ink pad

embossable glitter

heat gun

decorative ribbon

double-sided tape

mounting tape

decorative paper

coordinating cardstock for matting

Mom's cards

1. Stamp tree image with embossable ink. Sprinkle on embossable glitter and knock off excess. Use heat gun to emboss. Stamp sentiment with brown ink. Cut out image. With coordinating cardstock, cut out panel that is 1/4 inch larger all around than panel with stamped image. Adhere image to coordinating cardstock.

2. Cut decorative paper 4 inches by 5.5 inches. Cut coordinating cardstock to 4.25 inches by 5.75 inches. Adhere paper to cardstock with double-sided tape. Adhere decorative ribbon, as shown, to paper and cardstock panel. Adhere to front of folded card.

3. Use mounting tape or squares to adhere stamped image to front of card.

Simple! Here are more pictures . . .

My Fall Cards

I just used whatever leftover autumn paper I had in my scrap drawer. I did not purchase anything special to make these cards. More details below . . .
