Melly Art Creates All the Things: Fall Fun Blog Hop with CutCardstock!

Thank you all so much for following along with us today! So far you should have been too the CutCardstock Blog, Niki, and came from Teri! At the bottom of my post will be the links for the next blog on your journey!

So for this blog hop I decided to step out of my comfort zone of Scrapbook pages and wall decor and try my hand at a card! I do enjoy sending cards with my “Melly Art” pieces and I also love to send cards to friends and family to cheer them. I’m going to briefly show you what I did and a few steps on how I did it!

Here is what I came up with. One of my favorite stamp sets and embossing folder, with some distress oxide, coloring, sequins, and nuvo. Card making isn’t my greatest creative outlet, but I was happy with this one. I must have been channeling my inner “Card Ninja” Sister ❤️

Starting with Cougar White, and Neenah white cardstock, square dies, my favorite fall stamps, and my fall colors of distress oxides. I used the cougar white for stamping, and cut 2 squares with the dies from it as well. The Neenah white I used as my card base. It’s heavy weight is perfect.

Using daubers from scrapbook.com, I added the distress oxide inks directly to the embossing folder. I spritz the inks with a spray of water, added the already cut square and ran through my side kick. Afterwards, using some Antique Linen oxide Ink, filled in around the leaves to alleviate any white.

I colored my stamped images, and fussy cut them out. Using a circle punch, punched a platform for my sentiment, and using a smaller rectangle die, got the background for card itself. Used creamy brown to add just a little color to off set all the white.

And here it is! Glued everything down.. popped up the sentiment and the pumpkin.

No project is complete without SpiegelMom sequins and Nuvo drops!
