Belli Challenge #76 - Leaves for Fall & Thanksgiving

This week's Belli Challenge is all about leaves for Fall and Thanksgiving with Creative Cuts and More die cuts. Creative Cuts and More is generously sponsoring the Belli Challenge this week, and our Belli Girls have all kinds of different projects to show you.

I chose to do a card using the A2 Four Pane Window die cut and a Peek a View box filled with yummy chocolate nuggets.




For this window card, I stamped the fall trees scene and colored it with copic markers, and then cut it down to fit inside the card. To give the sky that warm autumn glow, I sponged on several layers of color. I made sure it was centered so you could see the fall colors on the trees. Then I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with an oval nestability, and sponged the same colors that I used in the sky inside the window. To give the sentiment a little oomph, I added a couple of punched leaves and a button in the center.




This Peek a View box is the easiest one to put together. All I had to do was fold, apply some Killer Red Tacky Tape to the tabs, and then press the edges together. I asked Terry, the owner of Creative Cuts and More, to send me some of the Mini Leaves #03 set in four different colors. I love these leaves! All I did was sponge some color on the edges of each one, and then I simply glued the leaves down on the top and bottom of this Peek a View box. So quick and easy and fun!
