Fall Frolic Day #4

Welcome to Day #4 of the Fall Frolic Event! Today I’m going to share with you what is probably one of my favorite cards I’ve designed this year. I just love how it came out! This card all started with me not knowing what to do with these leaves. I loved the set, and used it for the September Card Kit of the Month, but I don’t usually work with smaller images that don’t have as much of a focal point. I liked how they lined up with the circle punch, though – and the card evolved from there!

And if you haven’t checked out this week’s Deal of the Week yet, the green library clip used on the lower middle circle is part of this week’s special! The 1/2" Library Clips are on sale for just $3.99! Check them out along with the other accessories on sales this week only:

ALY’S HELPFUL HINTS:

• For a blocked look, try creating a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" square card – you’ll start with a 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" piece of cardstock, and when you’re done, Stampin’ Up! has wonderful quality envelopes to coordinate!
• One of the things that makes this card so delightful is having a different accessory attached to each circle – it keeps things unique and exciting. Don’t be afraid to try a wide array of combinations, it’s what keeps your cards interesting!
• Take your cards to new "heights" with Stampin’ Dimensionals — I never make a card without them! This card uses them on each and every circle – don’t they just "pop"!?
• The Corner Rounder gives a crisp and neat look to the edges of your cards.
• These stamped images have a weathered look from being stamped on Very Vanilla Textured Cardstock.
