Wood Textures, Awesomely Artistic, Better Together, Gourd Goodness, Seasonal Layers, Window Box, Everyday Label - Leaf Shaker Card

Another nice day in Michigan although it's a little on the cooler side.  More like our Fall weather should be in the high 60's.

My share for today is a Shaker Card that I designed using Stampin' Up products from both the Annual and Holiday Catalogs.

Let's take a look:

As many of you enjoyed yesterday's Card so much, I thought I would make another one in a similar manner.  The picture of my Card above is standing up so many of the Shaker Goodies 😁😁😁 are at the bottom of the Window.

My Card Base is Kraft Cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored and folded at 5-1/2".

My Card Front Panel is the White Barn Wood Pattern from SU's Wood Textures Designers Series Paper Stack cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" and adhered to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

The picture of my Card above is laying down so you can see more of the Shaker Goodies 😊😊😊 although it's hard to capture a good picture as the acetate Window picks up the camera lens and other unwanted shadows or images.

Using Stampin' Up's Window Box Thinlits Dies, I traced the Hexagon Die with a Pencil on top of my Card Front Panel.  I then trimmed the Hexagon out on my SU Trimmer.  (Save the Hexagon piece for the inside of the Card.)

I trimmed out another Hexagon from SU's Window Sheets on my Trimmer about 1/4" larger than the Hexagon Window in my Card Front Panel.  I adhered the Window to the back of my Card Front Panel with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered a length of SU's 3/8" Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon around the top of my Card Front Panel with Tear & Tape Adhesive and Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered SU's Foam Adhesive Strips around the Hexagon on the back of my Card Front Panel.

Using SU's Gourd Goodness Stamp Set, I stamped one of the Leaf Detailed Image Stamps onto Calypso Coral Cardstock with Calypso Coral Ink and Peekaboo Peach Cardstock with Peekaboo Peach Ink 3 or 4 times each color.

Using SU's Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies:
I die cut 2 Small Soild Image Leaves from Peekaboo Peach Cardstock and from Gold Foil Sheets.
I die cut 2 Small Solid Image Leaves from the stamped Peekaboo Peach and from the stamped Calypso Coral Cardstocks.
I die cut the Large Detailed Leaf from the stamped Calypso Coral Cardstock (and Peekaboo Peach for the inside of my Card).

I placed all the Leaves and some of SU's Metallic Sequin Assortment (except for the Silver) onto the center of my Card Base and adhered my Card Front Panel over the Shaker Goodies 😊😊😊 and onto the Card Base.

I trimmed out another piece of the White Barn Wood Pattern at 7/8", centered my Everyday Label Punch over the paper by looking through the back of the punch and I punched out the Label.

Using SU's Awesomely Artistic Stamp Set, I stamped the word Friend onto the Label and adhered it underneath my Window with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I adhered two of SU's Glitter Enamel Circle Shapes on each side of the Label.

I cut a length of SU's Jute Twine and separated the twine into threads.  I tied the 3 threads into a Bow and adhered it onto the center of my Ribbon with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Better Together Stamp Set, I stamped the Just a Note stamp onto my Hexagon with Basic Black Archival Ink.

Using SU's Awesomely Artistic Stamp Set, I inked up the Dots Stamp with Old Olive Ink, stamped it off once onto scrap paper and stamped it again on the Hexagon as shown in the picture above.  I adhered the Hexagon to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered the Large Detailed Peekaboo Peach Leaf onto the Hexagon with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I have a lot going on this month and the beginning of next month and, somehow, I forgot to show you the inside of yesterday's Card pictured above.  😯😯😯

I trimmed out another piece of the White Barn Wood paper at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".

Using SU's Better Together Stamp Set, I stamped Just a Note at the top of the paper and adhered it to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered one Pumpkin Pie, one Peekaboo Peach and one Gold Foil Sheet Small Leaf to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I have lots of Stampin' Up Promotions to share with you today too!  Today is the last day to order for the World Card Making Day Promotion!!!

The Paper Pumpkin team is always tracking products that make you, our customers, happy and (no surprise!) holiday kits are a huge favorite.
