Fall Friends Card with Amanda

Hey there, Sunny Studio Stamps fans! Welcome to the blog! It’s Amanda here with you today and I’m getting ready for Fall! So I’ve made this super cute Fall card to share with you!

This card features the stamp set called Fall Friends! I love these images so much that I couldn’t decide which ones to put on the card! So, I created a layout that would let me put almost all the images on one card!

I created my background with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. I die-cut just the frame from this set with white cardstock. On the inner rectangles, I inked blended some Catherine Pooler inks with a blending brush. I used Cashmere for the top two rectangles and Succulent for the bottom ones. After I was finished blending them, I spritzed them with a spray bottle filled with water. 

On my magnetic craft mat, I laid my A2 card base down. Next, I secured the frame down onto my card base with magnets. This allows me to use the frame as a guide for placing my rectangles perfectly. I added some liquid glue to the backs of my rectangles and placed them onto the card base.

Next, I stamped all my critters and images on a piece of white cardstock with black ink. I colored all the images in with Copic markers, focusing on muted Autumn colors. I added some highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die-cut all the images out with the coordinating die set. I used low-tack tape to keep the dies in place while running them through my die-cutting machine.

I arranged all the images on my card where I think I wanted them to go, starting with the largest images first. As I was making my layout, I grabbed the sentiment from the stamp set and placed the words in the upper right corner, arranging the images around it. I took a photo of the card layout so I wouldn't forget how I liked it!  

Then, I moved all the images to the side, leaving my sentiment in place. I put the card base into my MISTI and stamped my sentiment with black ink. Finally, I placed 3D foam squares behind all the images and adhered them to the card! All finished! Don't you just want to squeeze all those little critters?!  

I hope you find some time to get crafty today and that this card inspires you! See you back here next week!
