Autumn Inspiration Card and Bookmark by Rosie Lopez

 
I am an Autumn Card!
Today we are sharing this beautiful autumn colored card by Rosie!

These cards feature:

Falling Leaves Stencil
Autumn Reads Stamp Set
Framework Die Set
Autumn Basics Paper Pack

Bookmark II Die Set

Hi everyone! It’s Rosie and I’m back with some autumn inspiration. I’ve started my Gilmore Girls fall rewatch so of course I had to make some book themed fall projects.
For the card, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil with gold paste on a pumpkin colored cardstock. I set that aside to dry completely. Then I gold heat embossed the sentiment and book image from the Autumn Reads stamp set on a heavy weight vellum. 

I die cut the frame from the Framework Die Set 3 times from an off white cardstock. I stacked up the frames, adhered the vellum and trimmed off the extra. 

Then I die cut the larger frame from a pattern paper from the Autumn Basics Paper Pack. I pared the pieces together and added it to a card base.

I had to channel my inner Rory and make a bookmark. I used the Falling Leaves Stencil with some Distress Oxides on a pumpkin cardstock die cut with the Bookmark II Die Set.

I gold heat embossed the sentiment directly to the bookmark. Then, I used the book dies from that bookmark die set to die cut some scraps of fall colored cardstock. I stacked the books and added a tassel to the top.

 

 

I’ve really been having fun making bookmarks using these dies. It’s fun and challenging to work with on a new set dimensions for a project.

I hope these projects bring some autumn inspiration and if not, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite Gilmore Girls quote “It’s just my favorite time of year. The whole world changes color” - Lorelei Gilmore

Happy crafting! I'm going back to dreaming of opening a beach-front coffee house that has a sunny craft room upstairs.
