Video: Creating a Sparkly Autumnal Arrangement

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a video and card to share with you using the new Autumn Leaves Fancy Dies .

Autumn Leaves by Michelle Short for Hero Arts

I thought these would look lovely die cut from our fall glitter paper and I always love black with copper tones, I think it looks quite dramatic! Here is the video showing how I made the card:

To start off with, I die cut the Autumn Leaves Fancy Dies from both the copper and bronze included in the Glitter Paper Fall pack. I only ended up using three leaves, but now I have extras to use for other projects! I then die cut the thanks die from the Happy Thanks Stamp & Cut XL three times from Dove White Cardstock . They were adhered together with Precision Glue to create more dimension.

I created an A2 card base from Pitch Black Cardstock and then adhered two of the leaves on top. I used Precision Glue at the bottom of the leaves and for some added dimension, added foam tape to the top of them. The thanks die cut was then added below with more Precision Glue .

I took the sentiment from the Thank You Messages set and stamped it on to more Pitch Black Cardstock with Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink . I applied Copper Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with thin foam tape. I then cut another of the leaves and added two small pieces below the sentiment strip. To finish off, I added a few bronze jewels from my stash.

I just love the copper and bronze tones against the black card base. I think the sparkle really pops! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
