Autumn All-Occasion Card (also makes a cute Halloween card)

This was such a fun card to play with!  I copped the idea from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Peggy Noe (https://prettypapercards.com/2024/08/01/fall-peach-pie-glimmer-card/) and gave it a few tweaks of my own.

Materials

* Black card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" (card base); 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" (large & small circles)

* Peach Pie card stock (Stampin' Up!): 5-1/4" x 4" (embossed layer)

* Pale Papaya card stock (Stampin' Up!): 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" (middle circle); 5-1/4" x 4" (inside layer)

* White card stock: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (white circle); 5" x 3-3/4" (inside); scrap for small tag

* Torn Paper Nested Circle Dies from Temu

* 2-3/8" Circle punch from Stampin' Up!

* Mini Pocket Envelope dies from Stampin' Up! (tiny tag)

* Textured Tree Ring embossing folder from Temu

* Foliage stamps from an unknown source; tiny little word stamps from various stamp sets

* Versafine Clair Black Ink Nocturne stamp pad

* 3/8" black checked ribbon from Hobby Lobby

Assembly

* Emboss Peach Pie card stock and adhere to card front.

* Cut large and small black torn edge circles at the same time (the smaller circle came out of the center of the larger circle -- the hole left was covered by the Pale Papaya circle).  Adhere large black circle over card stock centered from left to right about 1/2” - 5/8" from top of card stock.

* Cut middle circle from Pale Papaya card stock and adhere over large black circle (NOTE:  You can center all the circles within the large black circle, or offset the layers to the left or right as shown.)

* Adhere small black circle over Pale Papaya circle.

* Use 2-3/8" circle punch to cut circle from white card stock; stamp foliage, center and adhere to small black circle.

* Stamp sentiment on tiny tag; Use glue dot to adhere just below foliage stem as shown.  Use glue dot to adhere bow.

* Adhere Pale Papaya card stock to inside of card.

* Stamp small foliage stamp on white card stock; adhere over Pale Papaya card stock.

* Cut tiny tag from white card stock and stamp sentiment; adhere below white circle.

* Make a bow and adhere it over top edge of tiny tag.  (The loops on my bow measure about 2" from left to right edges.)

* Adhere Pale Papaya card stock to inside of card.

* Stamp small foliage on 5" x 3-3/4" card stock and adhere over Pale Papaya.

You can easily turn this into a Halloween card by just adding a few embellishments.

For this slight alteration, I die cut the ghost from white card stock and outlined the edge with a black marker to set it off from the background.  Then I attached it over the foliage with a small wobbler from my stash.  I didn't have a small "BOO!" stamp, so I printed a Word document with a ton of them and cut them out with the tiny tag die.  Finally, I omitted the inside foliage and instead stamped Happy Halloween.  I'm pretty sure this stamp came from an old Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin kit.

Great fun!!!!

Hope you enjoyed this card.
