Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-November 2023- Fall Color Challenge with Aspen Trees

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie. On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Fall colors in Paris” is a Color Challenge for this month’s theme.

My Project for today

I was creating this card in my head over several days. I really love this particular design in the All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack. I wanted to used the Aspen Trees Dies too.

I do look at a lot of projects that other talented crafters make. Some of those projects inspire me and help me to create my own project. I hope my project will inspire you!

Project Details

This card was made using a variety of stamps and dies. The Autumn Leaves stamp and Dies come as a bundle (#162186). I have really liked the Aspen Dies that go with the Perched in a Tree stamp set. The Layering Leaves stamp set is great for sentiments.

4. Stamp the sentiment from the Perched in a Tree stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink onto the Basic White cardstock. Use the the Daffodil Delight Ink to Stamp Off once then stamp the image of the leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set around the sentiment.
5. Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the inside back panel of the Pecan Pie cardstock card base.

6. Stamp the sentiment ” Thinking of You” from the Layering Leaves stamp set onto the smaller piece of Basic White cardstock. Diecut with the label from the Autumn Leaves Dies.

Voila! That is it!
