Amuse Studio Autumn Greetings!

Don't you just love the colors of Fall?    I love this collage card by Amuse Studio using a variety of different stamps. 

Amuse Studio Products: 

Stamps: Mod BG 1, Script BG, Fresh Foliage (All On Sale during November!)

Cardstock:  Vanilla (Cut 8 1/2" x 6")

Ink:  Wheat, French Roast, Squash

Other:  French Roast Felt, Leaf Trio Dies, 1/4" Super Stick Red tape, Corner Chomper (1/2" side)

Score Vanilla cardstock at 4 1/4" to create the card base.  The finished card measures 4 1/4" x 6". 

Stamp the woodgrain image from Mod Backgrounds 1 with Wheat ink, in upper third of the card, just left of center.

Using French Roast Ink, press half the ink pad onto edge of Script background.  Do not worry about even ink coverage for this technique - a little variance adds to the collage look.

Stamp leaf from Fresh Foliage in Squash ink in upper left corner of woodgrain image.  Ink again and stamp in bottom right corner.  Do not re-ink and stamp again in the bottom right area (overlapping text, woodgrain and previously stamped leaf).

Die cut oak leaf from French Roast felt and adhere to card front.  Use super stick tape & add just a bit to the leaf ends to make sure they stay put.

Stamp sentiment with French Roast ink.

Round the corners on right side of the card with 1/2" side of Corner chomper.   

 

  

Amuse Studio Stationery Box

Stationery Box Template

The stationery gift box ...It's made from Clear Cardstock and lined with French Roast Woodgrain! I love, love, love that you can make this look any way you want just by changing up the lining!  Here's a couple of tips:

Amuse Studio Clear Cardstock is super sturdy (why it's SO great for card bases and projects like this). Because of this, you should go over your scoreline multiple times, using more pressure than normal cardstock.  Super Stick Tape is used to adhere the box sides together. 

The lining is cut to match the dimensions of the box, minus the sides - so 5.75 x 10.25. For an easy fit, score it just a smidge UNDER the scoring dimensions for the box. (If your lining peeks over the top at all, just trim!) The lining isn't adhered in any way.

Happy Fall!

I'm excited to have family coming for Thanksgiving so yesterday & made placecards for our dinner table.  I used amuse|studio Fresh Foliage stamp set with Squash Ink.

Yesterday I spent the day with a great group of ladies for the Winterset PTO Crop.  It was so much fun to meet all of you.  Many of them stopped by my amuse|studio table to create these simple but cute projects.  Thank you for the invitation to join your group & for the fun day of crafting! 

Great Idea!!

I thought this was a great idea by amuse|studio using our October/November Spotlight stamps.  It is a new take on wine charms - vellum wraps! Each one has different colored leaves stamped on them instead of a charm! Easy and elegant!
