TGIF – Fall Folk Fun with Angelica

I had so much fun creating with the new Harvest Fest Collection, and made a lot of “extras” when working with the products. So today I am going to share how I put these two cards together in no time, since I already had the hard work done.

When I get new product on my desk, I love to play. I might have a card idea, but I’m going to cut several die-cuts, or stencil several backgrounds. I always stamp extra sentiments, so when and if I need a card on the fly, I can quickly assemble one. That’s what I am going to do today. I had an extra panel that I had made with the Fall Folk Stencil Set, so I die-cut a window from the panel with the large Hoopla Oval Inserts Die. I also die-cut 2 red frames with the large Hoopla Oval Die.

To assemble the cards, I die-cut 2 Harringbone Parquet backgrounds, and attached them to card bases. I attached the Fall Folk panel I had die-cut the Oval out of to my first card base. I glued one of the red oval frames, and added a few die-cuts that I had pre-made from the Autumn Harvest Die. To finish the card, I attached a gold heat-embossed sentiment from Thanks All Ways stamp set. Again, I had several sentiment words and banners heat-embossed and die-cut, ready to go.

For my second card, I glued the second red oval frame over the Fall Folk oval, and attached it to the second card base. I kept this card clean and simple, adding just the gold heat-embossed Thanks All Ways sentiment.

I am so in love with this Fall Folk stencil set. I even had my daughter make a few panels with it! She had a blast. I hope I was able to share some tips on cardmaking, and how to set yourself up to make quick cards!
