Nested Friends Card Class, Card 3
Nested Friends Thinking of You Card
We are on to the last card from my Weekly Card Class From ME. As I continue to use the Nested Friends Bundle by Stampin’ Up!, I am falling more and more in love with it!
Speaking of Fall-ing, this card from my class is all about an “Autumn themed vibe”. Looking for a more Summer-y approach? Check out the last card here from my Nested Friends Card Class. And if you missed my Spring time version, take a look here!
Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder
What better embossing folder for my Autumn themed Nested Friends Card than one that features falling leaves? I pulled out the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and used it not just once, but twice on my card!
On the Cajun Craze background, the leaves play a whimsical role. I love how they peep out from behind my additional layers. And speaking of those layers, I embossed my Petal Pink punched circle with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder too.
Fall-ing In Love With Quick Color
I am not a huge fan of tedious coloring. In fact, I prefer to stamp, add a second layer of ink, and go!
So for this Nested Friends Thinking of You Card, I opted for an easy color solution. First, I stamped my bird image from the Nested Friends Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on Petal Pink Cardstock. Next, I die cut my bird image with the coordinating die from the Nested Friends Dies.
And lastly, I added Early Espresso Ink around the edges of my die cut bird. This adds a lot of definition and makes my bird stand out against the Petal Pink punched circle that is his backdrop. All of that to avoid stamping an image and coloring it in (it’s a great shortcut!)!
