more color mondays – golden glow, cajun craze and pecan pie

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge feels like Fall – Golden Glow, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie embrace the cooler weather that seems to have come in early this year.

The August Product of the Month Specialty Paper Glow of Harvest is just luscious with a sparkling pearlized surface with a pearl base and gorgeous Fall colors of Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Golden Glow and Pecan Pie!

I love the ease and simplicity of a Z fold and a double Z fold is twice the FUN! Today’s card is a stunning I Love you fun fold – join me for all the details!

Measurements:
BASE: Golden Glow CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ and 1 1/2″ x 11″
scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″, 3″ square
DSP: 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″, (2) 1 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ scraps
for fussy cutting
Pecan Pie CS: 4 1/4″ square
Cajun Craze CS: 3 3/4″ square
Very Vanilla CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ inside layer

Score the 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Golden Glow CS at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. Then score the 1 1/2″ x 11″ piece the same and rotate it 180 degrees so that the longer side is on the left.

Adhere the 2 pieces of 2 1/2″ x 4″ DSP layers to the 2 smaller panels of the 4 1/4″ base card.
Adhere the 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP piece to the longer section of the 1 1/2″ wide z fold piece.
Adhere the two smaller 1 1/4″ pieces to the smaller sections to the right of the 5 1/4″ piece just adhered.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla layer to the inside panel of the card base.

Adhere the backside of the outer smaller 1 1/2″ piece to the outside edge of the Very Vanilla covered inside panel.

Close the Z fold on the card base and adhere just the outside two inches to the outside DSP panel.

Die cut the largest die from the Spotlight on Nature circle dies on the Pecan Pie layer.
Die cut the next circle down on the Canjun Craze layer.
Die cut the next size down on the Golden Glow layer.

Plug in and heat up the Stampin’ Hot Foil plate by pressing the White button. Allow the plate to heat up – the red button will blink for about 6-8 minutes.

When it beeps and the yellow light starts blinking place the hot foil die right side up and leave to heat up on the plate until the machine beeps again. Then place the foil shiny side down, then the paper, then the shim and spacer down. Unplug the machine and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine slowly.

I used the new FRAMED AND FABULOUS HOT FOIL DIE BUNDLE with the new Copper Foil perfect for Fall projects!

I stamped a sentiment in Golden Glow ink in the center of the Copper Hot Foiled Golden Glow die piece.

Adhere the three concentric circle dies together and fussy cut some flowers and leaves from the Glow of Harvest Specialty Paper and adhere around the sentiment piece.

I placed pop up Stampin’ Dimensionals on the left hand side of the sentiment focal piece and add to the first Z fold panel.

This is what the double z fold card looks like expanded – pretty isn’t it?

I added some Antique Pearls to the card base to finish off this fun fold Fall card! This paper takes this card to the next level with it’s lustrous finish!

Now it’s your turn to make some Fall cards to make someone’s day! Go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
