Pals October Blog Hop: Orange is the New…Orange!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Orange Theory. We hope to inspire you with our creations using the color orange today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My card is made with Pumpkin Pie and Peach Pie, two of the many beautiful shades of orange from Stampin’ Up!’s colors. I love how the glimmer paper adds a warm accent behind the gorgeous autumn scene — the card almost glows when you see it!

Here are the materials and measurements:

• Very Vanilla cardstock base of 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2,” scored at 4 1/4″ to make an A2 card
• Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Papers (brown plaid panel) cut at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
• Two large circles from the Spotlight on Nature dies, one from a scene in the Splendid Autumn DSP set, one in Peach Pie Glimmer Paper
• Friends for Life dies

The card went together quite quickly, and would be easy to create in multiples, using any color combination you choose. I cut the Very Vanilla card base, along with the plaid panel of Sweet Days of Autumn DSP. I adhered the DSP and then did some die cutting with the Cut & Emboss Machine.

• I cut a Friend sentiment out from the Friends for Life dies — the top one in Pumpkin Pie with the Foam Adhesive Sheet under it, and the bottom base die in Peach Pie. The Foam Adhesive sheet causes the top lettering to have a nice 3D effect.
• I then cut two small hearts with the Peach Pie Glimmer paper to use as accents.
• I cut two of the largest circle pattern from the Spotlight on Nature Dies, and adhered them, offsetting the top one slightly.

• I finished the card by adhering the FRIEND word onto the card, and accenting with two sparkly Peach Pie Hearts.

No doubt you have been seeing many beautiful projects from our Autumn” collection of DSP. I love the gorgeous scenes of the Splendid Autumn set, and I have been enjoying the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP, found online only in our Online Exclusives. They are so sweet:
