Woodland Tales

 Spellbinders has released a new collection called Woodland Tales!  It consists of some gorgeous papers, dies, and a beautiful 3D embossing folder.  Today I have some cards using these new goodies.

supplies: white card base, gold foil cardstock, Woodland Tales Printed Vellum and Foiled Acetate, Woodland Tales Sentiments dies, framing dies

 I couldn't wait to open the vellum/acetate paper pack, and I was blown away by this autumn scene!  It truly does bring back memories of walks in the woods in the fall, an activity that became a tradition even more so after we were all grown up and away from home.  I chose this autumn scene on vellum and the gold-foiled acetate sheet of script, and cut out A2 panels of each.  To be able to fasten them to my card base without glue or adhesive showing, I also cut out a framing panel from gold foil and affixed that to the acetate script panel first, then I could turn it over and add dots of glue underneath the frame to attach it to the vellum scene, and then to my card base.  And I thought the sentiment dies made the perfect greeting.  I love these papers!  

Next I played with the die sets that I got from this collection: Finley the Fox and Woodland Tales Fern.

supplies: cream, krafts, green, autumnal shades of cardstock, Woodland Tales Fern die, Finley the Fox dies, Fresh Picked Labels dies, sentiment from Fall Thoughtfulness

We recently returned from a trip to Maine, and while there we took lots of walks in the woods when we could.  One of the things I noticed at that time was that the ferns turned colors, too, all shades from golden to rust, while some remained green.  So those were the colors I put together behind this adorable Finley Fox!  Don't you love how he's prancing?!

Next I used the 3D embossing folder, Fresh Picked Floral Frame, along with some soft floral ephemera from this collection.

supplies: white and Peach Sorbet cardstock, Fresh Picked Floral Frame embossing folder, Woodland Tales Die Cut Shapes ephemera, Woodland Tales Die Cut Sentiment, adhesive foam squares

I hope my cards have given you a feel for all the possibilities this collection has.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!
