Well today, as promised, I'm going to share with you the invitations that I made for my daughter. She really, really liked them too! Now I was inspired to make the front like I did after seeing this card
HERE. I really like Lee's card but didn't have any of the colors of card stock that she used, so that is when I made the packing paper leaves. My daughter really liked the Champagne glimmer paper for the acorn top and as you can see, I didn't put a button on either, didn't have any and I also wanted it to be mailed with one stamp to help her save some money. I used the Itty Bitty Label dies and part of a Itty Bitty Banners stamp but had to use part of another stamp for the sentiment, which is non-SU. I embossed the front panel with the new Woodgrain embossing folder and used Very Vanilla card stock. Oh and some linen thread too.
On the inside, I used a non-SU invitation stamp. The pumpkins and leaf are from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Autumn Leaves. I used markers, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Always Artichoke to color them in with. I like how the marker left lines in the pumpkins, it gives the pumpkins some dimension! Then I took some Early Espresso on a sponge and sponged the edges of the front and inside. The images on the inside where stamped with StaZ-on ink. You can find the directions
HERE on how to make the leaves.
Well that is it for today, I had so much fun in the craft room making these and where really very easy to assemble once I had all the leaves and acorns made. Thank you for stopping by, have a crafty day, Mary
