I have a trio of cards for you using the beautiful Family Stories line! Since fall is in the air, I thought I'd use the season as my theme. My first card features those great sequins:
I love the Family Stories sequins! The colors are so pretty but not fallish in any way. To create a fall look, I used a leaf diecut in the center of the pretty woodgrain patterned paper (Noted). Next, I created a pocket using vellum and filled it with the sequins as well as some smaller diecut leaves. I adhered it to the back of the patterned paper and wrapped some hemp cord around it. I adhered the focal panel to my card front using foam adhesive. To complete the look, I stamped the sentiment onto a pink cardstock cardstock strip. I added it to the cardfront along with some of the glittered aqua border. To finish off the look, I added an orange button (Decorative Brads) with a bow over the hemp cord.
The vellum diffuses the colors a little but you can still see those sequins sparkle!
For my next card, I started with a brown card base and my favorite stamp from the Family Stories stamp set:
I stamped a row of the large flower onto the card front using Versamark ink. Next, I splattered the card front with a little brown mist. I diecut a tag out of the woodgrain paper (Noted) and stamped my sentiment on it. Next, I diecut the leaves using rust colored cardstock and the aqua patterned paper (Notecards). I added them to my tag popping up the aqua leaf. I added a few of the pink epoxy dots and a bit of navy twine as well. After my tag was done and my mist was dry, I put it all together:
I have one more card for you! It's a fun and simple banner card:
I love the look of banners at the top of a card! For this one, I started with a navy card base and added a panel of the woodgrain patterned paper (Noted). I stamped my sentiment along the bottom with black ink. Then I started on the banner! The banner flags and anchor tag are from the Family Stories Diecut Sheet. I punched them out and added them along the top of my card using foam adhesive dots. I diecut a leaf from brown cardstock and added it as well. Next, I added some embellishments- those fun orange epoxy dots and a pretty decorative brad with a bow tied behind it. I finished off the look by adding a length of linen thread over the top, threading it through my tags. I attached it with just a little bit of white glue on the outside corners.
I am loving the look Family Stories gives to a fall theme! The colors are non traditional but still so pretty for the season. I can't wait to use this combination again!
