Let's Make a Fall Card with Ellie!

Hello PND Fans! It's Betty here with a cute Fall card. It's been another hot week in the 90s here in the Sacramento, California area, but the weather forecast says cooler days are coming. We need the cooler weather for the trees to change colors. I love the beautiful fall colors, just like the colors in this card I made with Paper Nest Dolls' Ellie with Scarecrow stamp. Isn't she just the cutest? This stamp comes in red rubber and in digital


This card is easy to make and you can use any fall colors and patterned paper you have in your stash. All you need are some leaves die cuts and the fence die cut, which is optional. Let's get started!

Supplies:
  • Paper Nest Dolls stamp (links above): I used the digital stamp and printed the image at 3-1/2" tall.
  • Color your stamp using the medium of choice. I used Copic markers (colors are listed below)
  • Distress ink or Distress Oxide - Tumbled Glass
  • Ink Blending Tool
  • Brown cardstock to mat the colored image (2-7/8" x 4-3/8") 
  • White base cardstock: 12" x 6" folded in half
  • Patterned paper, fall design: 5-3/4" x 5-3/4"
  • White cardstock for layering: 4-1/2" x 4-1/2"
  • Solid or tone-on-tone patterned paper for layering (I used orange with dots): 4-3/8" x 4-3/8"
  • Yellow, green and orange cardstock for leaves
  • Leaves die
  • Fall sentiment: I used Microsoft Word and printed the sentiment at 1-1/2" x 3/4" and used my paper trimmer to cut it out at 2-7/8" x 1"
  • Brown cardstock for matting the sentiment at 2" x 1-1/8"
  • Optional item: fence die cut. I used a die from Gina Marie Designs and used a cardstock that had a wood-like pattern.
  • Your favorite adhesive

    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR.
