INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE FALL SCRAPBOOK PAGE:

Cut an 8″ x 8″ piece of More Mustard Card Stock.
Print onto Very Vanilla Card Stock one copy of the following design from the MDS Autumn Spice Digital Kit:

Cut two 8″ x 1″ pieces of the design that you just printed, ensuring the cut has the leaves flowing from top to bottom. (Obviously, if you have the original card stock you won’t need MDS to print a copy.)
Lay one piece of the design onto the scallop side of the Tasteful Trim die and run through the Big Shot. (Insure the card stock is oriented correctly so the scallops will be on the right side.)
Lay the second piece of the design onto the scallop side of the Tasteful Trim die and run through the Big Shot. (Insure the card stock is oriented correctly so the scallops will be on the left side.)
Attach one of the scallop pieces onto the right side of the 8″ square piece of More Mustard Card Stock, and the other on the left. (Insure correct orientation.)
Punch a small hole in the two corners at the top of the card stock.
Insert a piece of Early Espresso Baker’s Twine through the holes, allowing the twine to hand down slightly. Tie knots in the ends of the twine.
Using the Petite Pennants Builder Punch, punch out one set of pennants each from the printed Autumn Spice Card Stock, Cajun Craze Card Stock, Old Olive Card Stock, and Early Espresso Card Stock.

Adhere these pieces together (see picture).
Using the Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set (or other), stamp the letters F A L Lonto Very Vanilla Card Stock using Cajun Craze, Old Olive, More Mustard, and/or Early Espresso Ink.
Cut out the letters and attached them in order onto the pennants.

Punch a small hole at the top-center of each pennant.
Insert a brad (your choice).
Wrap a small piece of Early Espresso Baker’s Twine around each brad and tie into a bow.
Adhere each pennant along the Early Espresso Baker’s Twine that was inserted at the top.
Cut a photo mat to fit the size of your photo and adhere to the page.
Cover with a matching ink the leaf stamp from the Day of Gratitude stamp set (see picture), stamp the image onto Very Vanilla Card Stock, and cut out the leaf.
Repeat for a second leaf.
Using dimensionals, adhere the leaves onto the two corners of the photo mat.
Cover with ink the acorn stamp from the same stamp set, stamp the image onto Very Vanilla Card Stock, and cut it out.
Repeat for a second acorn.
Adhere the acorns adjacent to the leaves.

NOTE: This scrapbook page can very easily be expanded to a 12″ x 12″ page. You may want to give that a try as well.

Perfectly Preserved Stampin Up

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Beverly

Isn’t the Perfectly Preserved stamp set so cute? I think of the fall season and “canning” when I look at the set.

As a child, I use to help my Momma make apple butter around this time every year. It always turned out soooo good and there was never enough for us children. (LOL) Thinking of the fall season and my childhood, I decided to create for you a card with an image of a jar filled with yummy apple butter using the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set! The jar rests upon the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper.

OK, I hear you! Some are saying they don’t like apple butter. In that case, get creative and fill the jar as you like (hehe)! What about blueberry, raspberry, cherry, strawberry, mixed berries, or other preserves!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fold an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Cajun Craze Card Stock in half to create a card base.
Cut a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of the selected design from the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper.
Cover with Cajun Craze Classic Ink the jar stamp from the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set and stamp the image onto a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock.
Mix two drops of Early Espresso Ink (Reinker) and some Crystal Effects onto a non-porous surface and quickly mix.
Quickly brush the mixture onto the stamped jar image, staying inside the Cajun Craze lines. (Don’t try to get the mixture smooth as you want it to look natural.)
Set it aside to dry. When the mixture has dried, apply plain crystal effects on the top portion of the jar. Set aside to dry.
Adhere the DSP to the card base.
Using the Cannery Set Framelits and the design on the opposite side of the piece of DSP, cut out the cover for the lid.
Sponge the edges with Island Indigo ink.
(Optional: Pierce holes in the cover and thread with linen thread – see picture of card)
Cut a 3-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Lucky Limeade Card Stock.
Cut a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Island Indigo Card Stock.
Cut a 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Cajun Craze Card Stock.
Sponge the edges of the three pieces of card stock with matching ink and adhere them together to create a mat.
Wrap the bottom of the mat with a piece of knotted 3/8″ Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon.
Adhere the mat onto the center of the DSP and card base.
Using an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker, cover the ”just for you” sentiment stamp from the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set.
Stamp this image onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock.
Cut out the sentiment using the Bitty Banners Framelits.
Pierce a hole into the sentiment and thread it onto the linen thread on the left side of the lid cover.
Adhere the jar to the center of the mat just above the ribbon. (I used foam glue dots – dimensionals).
Adhere the lid cover to the top of the jar with it turned upward. (I wanted the jar to appear open and ready to have a spoon inserted for one to taste the yummy apple butter-LOL.)

Enjoy!
