Sunny Studio Stamps Blog: Fall Friends Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you celebrating BACK TO SCHOOL time! I can’t believe summer is coming to a close already! But, it’s time to make those teacher cards! So, I’m here with you today sharing this adorable card I made for one of my kids’ teachers! I created a lot of layers for this card to give it a ton of dimension!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fall Friends Back To School Teacher Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Fall Scenes, Punny Apple Greetings)

First, I grabbed a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it to 4.25”x5.5”. On this panel, I lightly blended Catherine Pooler’s Oh Boy! ink all around the panel, focusing on the top portion. This will be for my background and the sky.

Next, on another piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25”x5.5”, I stamped the fence and tree image from the Fall Scenes Stamps. This stamp has available coordinating dies, so I used the appropriate die to cut out the top part of the panel. Then, I colored the entire scene with Copic markers. I placed 3D foam strips behind the grass, fence, and tree and then adhered it to my background panel.

The cute critters, applies, wagon, tree stump, and basket images come from the Fall Friends Stamps. I satmped extra apples, since this card is for a teacher! I colored all the images in with Copic markers. I added a few highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut each image out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered 3D foam squares behind all the images. For some images, I needed to add an extra layer of foam squares to prop them up higher (such as the deer). Then, I added everything to the scene.

My sentiment comes from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamps. First, I grabbed a piece of scrap white cardstock. I stamped the word “picked” with Catherine Pooler Rouge ink first. Then, I placed the other words on each side and stamped them with black ink. I trimmed the cardstock down into a long strip and cut a little ribbon end. I put 2 layers of foam strips behind the sentiment and added it to the card to finish it off!

That’s all for me today, friends! I hope you’re feeling inspired to make something crafty today!
